Best Businesses in New York

I recently hired Diamond Electric to install new electrical fixtures in my office in East Brunswick.   I was impressed with their responsiveness and commitment.   They arrived on time, installed the fixtures in the time promised and left my office clean and bright.   I would highly recommend this contractor.  Vinny, my installer, was particularly good and respectful of our needs as a business.  He worked around us so that our work was not disrupted.

Very impressed with this company after their appointment this morning, installing two new outlets for the new dryer I bought. I had a very friendly electrician named Eddy who did a fast job and gave me a small discount after I asked.

Needed an electrician in a hurry!  A light socket in my basement tripped the circuit & I could not reset the circuit breaker.  And it took out the whole wall including cable tv phone internet & wifi!  I called Mr Russo and he was at my house in half an hour on a Saturday in the pouring rain.  He fixed it quickly for a reasonable price.  He is pleasant & friendly.  I would recommend him & will definitely call him again when I need help.

Wow  !  fantastic    service.   i  called  for  a   couple  of    electrical   problems in my  apartment.    burnt  out    outlet and   no lights in  back  rooms.     the   electrician  arrived  exactly on time, as he   said  he  would  when i called  the night   before.    he  completed  the    job   in  about   20   minutes.    he  replaced the    burnt  out  wall  unit,   plugged  in my   AC    restored   lights  in  back  room.     fast,   efficient,   clean  worker.      whether  you  have a  small or  big  job,  this    is  the company  to  call.    the  price ????    perfect  !!   very  low  .

Professional and prompt! Good service and fair pricing. Would recommend to anyone in need of an electrician.

Called them for a simple problem (double tap in electrical box) and they were able to come out same day as they're local to Hoboken.

Worker that came didn't exactly know what a double tap was, nor that a pigtail repair is perfectly sufficient per NJ Code (structuretech1.com/2010/… )

We discussed that the pigtail could be longer (unnecessary, but if they wanted $25 extra I wasn't going to fight it)..  He took a picture, and went back to his van to talk to the boss..  Came back from the van 10 minutes later (van wasn't that far away,) and apparently my circuit breakers looked old (on an android phone picture no less) and he'd have to replace the perfectly good breaker instead of signing off on the pigtail.  

how much I asked..  and was told I'd have to talk to the boss..

Knowing enough about the code to know that repair was COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY (it was already fixed by someone with an NY license), I basically threw him out instead of being upsold on unnecessary repairs.  

Before he left, I asked if he was personally licensed to work in NJ..  His response: Have a good night sir..    I think that answers my question.  

Yes, I'm pissed.. but this could have been $150 for them signing off that a 5 minute job was done properly.  Heck, they could have redone it for that price and I wouldn't have cared.. but the switch to a multi hundred dollar circuit breaker replacement was extorsion in my opinion.  

Instead they get this review from me for free.  I would not recommend them.

Fayiz is a great professional with an economical pricing for his services. He responded quickly and was at my place within 20 minutes. Fixed up everything and was out in time as well. All in all a great experience.

UPDATE:- My lights were out again next week due to a different issue and Fayiz swung by instantly and fixed it up free of charge. It was very generous and kind of him to do that, again, on a Sunday.

I never write reviews, but I had such a great experience that I felt the need to inform future customers of this company. I called in the morning and they scheduled an appointment later in the afternoon around my schedule.  When my pro was running behind they called and informed me right away. When my pro Miri arrived he was professional, courteous,  and informed me of everything that had to be done. There were no hidden charges, and he checked in with me half way through the job to make sure I was happy with the work. It was a great experience,  at a reasonable price. I will definitely use them again for future projects.

Excellent work by Daniel and his assistant. Selling my home and needed to have GFCI installed in the bath and kitchen and have the panel checked. I had a last minute add on, and after reading the buyer's report, Dan proactively cleaned up some small details I had missed, which I really appreciated. The old adage is time is money, and they worked super efficiciently and cleanly. Price quoted was the price given, adjusted only for the last minute request in the guest bedroom. Most importantly, I have the peace of mind it was done correctly. Would definitely hire again.

update 2 years later:  they are now calling themselves NY Empire Electrical Contracting.  Don't be fooled. They suck.  An outlet they installed has never worked in my mother's apartment.  She called them, they came, pressed the reset button and left, then sent a $200 bill. Really.

update 7 months later:  their work has now failed inspection three times.  they send someone different each time.  it never ends with these guys.

Poor communication with the client and with each other, no supervision, just awful.  What should have been about 2 days of work took at least 6 visits, I think more, but I lost count.   I realized belatedly that they had to be watched every minute.  If there is a way to do something wrong, they will do it.

One time I had asked them to change a switch and they instead changed the bulbs.  Really.  Then they left.  

Another day, somehow they misunderstood my super, who told them they could not channel the ceiling (it's concrete).  They thought they could not channel the wall, which makes no sense, as they had done so everywhere else throughout the apartment.  Without notifying me (the client!), they made the attached mess on the walls using wire mold.  Luckily I came home early that day!

I had no problem with the demeanor of the people on the phones, but they don't add anything to the process.

Andrew at G&G is amazing. Willing to go the extra mile for his customers and will always do his best to get you exactly what you need. This is a one stop shop for anything electrical. Skip Home Depot or Lowe's and come here.

I am going back and leaving reviews for the businesses I have trusted for years. Forest Hills Electric has done many projects for me. I appreciate their courtesy and professionalism.
