A-1 Electrician and if you need a miracle, he can help there, too

Warren installed an outlet at my parents' home in Brooklyn and was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.  For those of you who are DIYs, Warren blindly drilled through a floor, behind a wall, into a stack of bricks separating the residence form the garage, snaked the cable (this is the miracle part) through the grout-line in the stack of bricks and found it in the ceiling below, which he then ran into the service panel.  For those of you who aren't DIYs, Warren is a professional, first-rate, tenacious craftsmen who can install and wire anything into anywhere!
I give Warren the highest available rating, +10!

James was so great he fixed my lights and my door bell. Highly recommended!!! Thanks James good price too.

Just had some electrical work done today by Greg. What an awesome, seamless experience from start to finish. He was extremely professional, punctual, and did great work for a great price. He got back to me quickly each time I reached out to him and provided estimates via email.  Strongly recommend him and will use him again for any future electrical projects!! Thanks Greg!

Totally Wired put new ceiling lights in our living room and dining room. We couldn't be happier! Tony came to look at our space and gave great advice as to what we needed. (A prior electrician had tried to sell us on more and I really appreciated Tony's honesty and his eye for the rooms!) The guys that put the lights in were fantastic, fast and left no mess at all! Would absolutely use them again!

This was the first time I ever hired an electrician.  

Will was very professional.  Answered all questions (phone, text & email).  When I asked for an estimate, he emailed it to me and it was very professional.  I hired him and he arrived on time and did the work (moving outlet, bringing outlet to code, fixing outlet).  He understood what I needed done, did a great job and was extremely neat.

I highly recommend him and if I know of anyone who needs electrical work done, I will definitely recommend him for the job.

Primo is amazing. Braulio is super helpful, communicative, and efficient. Mike did an AMAZING job setting up what wound up being a really difficult job. There were a few problems with the pre-existing wires in the walls, and he went above and beyond to trouble-shoot the problem. He wound up spending hours making sure everything was perfect, and working just right. After all of his hard work, additional wires weren't working (not his fault). He was on the phone with the manufacturer, getting information, and then wound up coming back another day to complete the install. He was kind, professional, thorough, explained everything as he was going through the work, and took pride in his work. Primo's prices are also the most competitive I've seen, and their work is much better.

I wanted to recommend an electrician that we used to rewire our 4 story 2 family brownstone in Brooklyn. His name is Sal, and he's at LB Electric. His cell is 917-627-9903 and phone is (718) 431-0565.

When deciding on an electrician, I believe I called between 10-15 of them and got quotes from at least 6 or 7. I called many of the recurring recommended electricians from Brownstoner, as well as a few other local electricians that I found through google searches or just from walking around my neighborhood. I wanted to go with someone who was local because the closer they are the better, in my mind.

I found LB Electric by googling online. Sal's quote was by far the most reasonable. For example, his quote was 30,000 less than the highest quote I got (from one of the electricians who was recommended on this website). He gave me some corporate references for building companies that he's done work for. They all checked out.

His work was top notch, he was reliable in showing up, and he's did a lot of arguably extra things for us, suffered through some contract changes, and had a wonderful attitude the whole time. There were a few mistakes in the way the switches were wired by his employees, and some of the boxes weren't installed totally straight but he fixed those. (Happily and without attitude or anger, which is a big plus in my opinion). He is very friendly and spends a lot of time personally making sure the job is right.

He also went above and beyond the call of duty! At one point, we thought that one of the workers dislodged some electrical piece that made our boiler stop working. We then got power to the boiler, but it wasn't turning on. I called Sal who said he'd come over to fix it. It turns out it wasn't an electrical problem, but somehow, another person (don't know who) had turned off the water supply to the boiler. Sal fixed it for us, free of charge and happily and said Hey, you don't need to call a handyman! I used to fix boilers. He even came back another time to fix the boiler. Once, he also took me to a lock wholesaler in the neighborhood because I had been having a hard time finding the right kind of electric lock for us. He waited at the store and helped me select one, and then got me a discount through his account with them.

We passed the DOB inspection easily. They noticed one minor problem, and asked Sal to fix it while they were onsite, which he did very quickly, and then they passed us.

I ultimately went with Sal because his price was reasonable, and he seemed trustworthy, experienced, good natured, and his references checked out well. I have NEVER met a contractor who has been so nice, thorough, and reliable as Sal. I'd firmly recommend him to anyone. I'm no longer living in New York, though still have the house there and all the electrical has been fine! I wanted to write this review because I was so impressed with Sal and hope that he succeeds in his business!

I recently bought a home and it needed a lot of updating.  I called plaza and working with them has been INCREDIBLE! Courteous, quick, professional, on time and the list goes on!  They worked with me and my crazy schedule and the work they do is hands down the best!  I would recommend Plaza to everyone (if you want it done right!)

Great service, work was cheaper than quoted.  Arrived when scheduled, explained the issue and fixed our electrical problem.

Electricians provided outstanding professional service with honesty and integrity.  Called them to explain our problems and they were able to give us a quick response and quote, not string us along or take advantage of us.  

They showed up the very next day and solved our problems quickly and efficiently.  Got us up and running like nothing happened.  Will call Grounded Electric again if we need their help.  Highly recommend them.

Needed to have a whole house fan installed and Caliber Electric delivered! They gave me a very reasonable price and met all their commitments. They were extremely professional, timely, and communicative. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends.

I had some ceiling fans installed and a panel upgrade done. Jim came to my home himself and gave an estimate. He made the drawing of the work and applied for the permit. On the day of the job, Jim was not present, in fact no one present was a licensed electrician (which I found alarming but apparently this is common practice). The work was done in a timely fashion and the price was reasonable. A switch needed to be moved, requiring some sheetrock work, the quality of which was mediocre at best (I had to re-spackle and re-sand it) however the electrical work was good quality. The team was professional and friendly.

Worst people ever. Contacted them about service and for a quote and they had the rudest phone skills I have ever experienced. If they are this rude over the phone, imagine how they are when they are working. Never ever will I call them again and will tell everyone just how bad they are.

Spoke with office person who said would have electrician call me back - that was over a week ago.

I got an intercom through another company and I assume it wasn't set up right or whatever. After receiving no replies from the original provider of my intercom I decided it would just be easiest to call another company altogether

I called speakeasy when my buzzer wasn't working, and they were able to get to me same day and fixed my issue. No problems ever since! Very friendly staff as well.
