Best Electricians in Charlotte, NC

I hired Tony to complete three separate plumbing, electric, and carpentry projects at my residence. After he completed the first project, Tony asked for more money than he originally quoted. I complied with his request. Next, Tony completed the second project and again asked for more money than he originally quoted. Again, I complied with his request. Throughout both projects, Tony would occasionally fail to arrive at my residence in order to complete the work as promised. Prior to the third project, Tony reviewed the quote he provided me and stated the amount is incorrect. I responded by stating the amount is the exact number he quoted me as I simply printed out the message he sent me via email. To prove this, I simply pointed to his email address on the printed document. He then returned a few days later and completed only a portion of the work in a temperamental manner, never to return with my deposit. I contacted him on numerous occasions (via text message, phone, and email) in order to determine when he will be completing the remainder of the work and never received a response.

Need more proof? Check out his 'F' rating with the BBB here:

Tony is a very dishonest, unreliable, and passive-aggressive individual. In short, he is an opportunist. Stay far away from this man. Don't let the five star ratings fool you!

Discovered them through the Nextdoor app. Came out the same day, left to get parts and back in under one hour to take care of the small electrical need. Reasonably priced. Or at least it seemed reasonable to me especially since I needed it done by a licensed electrician. Definitely recommend them and will use them in the future. Matthew, the tech, answered all my questions and relayed all relevant information to me.

This was what a service call should be like every time. From the very first contact phone call, you were professional, respectful, and upfront about our service

Sincerly,

The Staff at Walgren Counseling PLLC

Shawn and his team were ok to work with initially, but as time went on the quality of the work deteriorated and he was rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional. We had a dispute about the terms of our agreement (I admit largely because I didn't realize the terms of the new contract had changed from a previous agreement), however, because of that dispute Sphysicallyhawn and his guys resorted to cursing me including racial slurs (**tch *ss nword), threatening to physically assault me and then abandoning work which was incomplete -and- which I had already paid for($3000).

As far as the work itself was concerned: the fit and finish were sub-standard, every outlet was deformed (one corner bulging out of the wall) (one was put in upside down [switch up was off], one was wired to an overhead light (the outlet doesn't work unless the light is on). When I asked Shawn to correct the deficiencies he refused saying if I wanted him to make something look good, I could forget it. To his credit: earlier on...one of the large windows they installed leaked four or five days after it was installed. I called him, sent him a video of the window leaking and he came out the next morning and caulked it and blamed one of his employees for being derelict. The roof they installed: one corner of it was lifting a week after they left. I did send him a picture (included) of the substandard work.

To his credit: he offered to come and look at it. I ignored the offer based on his track record, previous approach, and lack of work quality. True to form, he resorted to threatening me he would report me to code enforcement, calling me a **tch, etc. (I have the text messages). The final dispute: I contracted with him to move a window and install a door where the window had been. He quoted me, and we agreed on a price ($3500) and I paid him ($7000-- window and a small deck). Previously, the terms of the agreement had been 100% for materials and 50% for labor upfront.

During the window installation, one of his employees asked me for the money ($275) that he spent on materials. I was surprised and told him that I had paid for all the materials up front but I would speak to Shawn about it. Before I had the chance to speak to him about it he sent me several text messages demanding that I pay the $275... I paid for it! However, as I reflected on it that evening I decided that I was fed up with all the drama and decided to cancel the remaining portion of the contract the next day.
Because I canceled the remaining work the next morning: Shawn told them to leave the window and door unfinished (pictures included). When I reminded him that I had already paid for the job, he said that I had paid him to install the door and window/not to finish it.Since I was canceling the rest of the project, I should hire a finish carpenter.  

I was cursed by Shawn and his employee and verbally threatened by one of his employees (over $50 he said he had spent on materials that morning). At no time did I dispute the $50, and in fact said I would send the money by Zelle in the next couple of minutes. The situation culminated in loud cursing by Shawn and his employee and in fact, the employee rushed toward me Zelleas if he intended to assault me. Among the verbal assaults was Shawn accusing me of being a fool who served in the military of a country that had enslaved me, and on and on. I repeatedly asked them to please stop cursing, to lower their voices, and finally to please leave.

Not ten minutes later, he called me...apologizing for his employee and expressing a willingness to complete the part of the project that I had canceled. etc. etc. I said I would think about it (largely because he was holding $3500 of my money). Shortly afterward he returned $600. I firmly believe he did so, in an attempt to show something (goodwill?) that would encourage me to allow them to finish the project.

Of course, I declined to spend another penny with his company. In fact, I'm currently waiting for a reputable roofing company to look at the roof. With what I have seen from the work thus far, I'm preparing myself that the roof might have to be completely ripped off and replaced.
Everything written here is the absolute god's honest truth.  It took a couple of months to process this regretful episode and to get my window sub-standard, and the hole that Shawn left in the side of my house fixed. When I looked at his company's reviews again to understand what I had missed in reviewing the company. I was shocked to see that he had illegally posted pictures of both -me and my house- on Yelp without my permission or a release.
Because I found his company through a Yelp review initially, I wanted to return to Yelp to share my frank and completely honest personal experience.

Finally Caveat Emptor.

Wow!  I called and they were able to come out within two hours.  On the phone I explained what was wrong and sent a photo of the light switch I was having issues with.  They arrived and fixed promptly.  Gave great advice too for future electrical needs.  Would totally be calling these guys for any electrical work needed in the future.

Jesse was very responsive to give me a quote and set up my appointment.  Scott was on time, provided excellent service and was very friendly.  Would not hesitate to recommend Gianni Electrical Service and will definitely call them for future needs.

Bill did an amazing job!! Loved how he showed up early and was very polite and professional at all times. He was extremely thorough even though he was only doing a free estimate for a few issues we had. Afterwards, we decided to hire him on the spot because he was so thorough and professional. He completed all jobs very quickly with great quality and also gave us some tips on a few other future projects we have. Thanks and keep up the great work!!! We will definitely recommend him to the many.

Chad was great! It's so hard to find people who know what they're doing and who actually communicate. Chad was in touch regularly about our job. He showed up on time. Did excellent work. And was just generally a pleasure. There is a good reason he has Professional in the name of his business.

This is one of the best electrical companies in this region! The high quality work is unmatched.  Commercial and residential electrical work.

Jack, our plumbing technician was great. He was friendly and professional, made sure we were informed and updated throughout. He was very clean- did not leave any mess behind. We were very impressed by his service!

We gave Evan a massive list of electrical jobs and he completed the work to absolute perfection!!  His electrical knowledge, diligence and work effort is outstanding and he was a pleasure to work with!! He's always on time, cleans during and after,  thinks the jobs through and communicates potential changes.  We were able to stay within our budget and everything looks great.  Here's a list of the work Evan completed for us:

Ryan Hanlon is the Man-lon, FORREAL! Only contractor in the history of my lifetime to show up early, clean up after himself everywhere he went, and take the time to explain my options and the work he was doing.

Priced medianly between the other electricians I called and met with (Roby Electric being the most expensive), Ryan quoted fair prices and offered to provide all the materials at cost OR send me a shopping list that I could take to Home Depot/Lowes. Being a DIY girl as much as possible, I took the list and made my merry way over to Home Depot on Wendover, where Ira the Electrician Guy told me that this guy knew what he was doing once he saw the complete list Ryan had emailed me.

Arriving not a second past 9:30, Ryan took time to go over all the projects I wanted done in the home overall, and then started work on installing 4 outdoor outlets for my home. Along the way, there were some issues with my older home and the set up of the wiring, but he took the time to not only communicate what he was doing but also to educate me more on my home and the wiring of it (who knew I had a fuse box that was a fire hazard? go me!).

Anyway, 6 hours later I had everything I'd requested and a few more things done by Ryan and I was already making plans for him to put in recessed kitchen lighting and change out a fan and chandelier. I can't say enough how impressed I was with him - I'm telling everyone I know! Definitely a contractor I'm going to keep on file for years to come (I know I'm rambling, but he was really that great!).

Roman is such a nice guy! He came exactly when he said on a Saturday evening. The business is called Asap and he lives by it. My wife asked him if I needed you at 2:00am would you come ? He said if it was an emergency, sure.  I called him about 7:30pm, he was here and done by 8:45!! Small job, but it needed an electrician. Quick clean professional work! Use this man!

installed LED lighting in garage great service and juat great guys to be around lighting is now excellent now I can see

Honesty Electric was.  I must place the emphasis on HONEST! In this industry, that is rare to come by.  I woke up the next morning after an intense thunderstorm and realized that 1 of my bedrooms didn't have power in the light fixtures or the outlets.. I looked up-and-down on Google trying to find the right company to resolve this for me.  I appreciate it more than ever the honest diagnosis made by Lewis and his efficiency in getting it repaired right away! I cannot thank him enough for what he did for me in such a reasonable amount of time.  I highly recommend Honesty Electric and I will absolutely call them for all my electrical needs. As a new property owner, I anticipate future work and they will absolutely be the ones I call to complete it for me. You won't disappointed.

Left a message on yelp
For a doorbell install - recd a callback within a hour saying they would contact me later that day - never heard back again - I realize a doorbell is a small job but sad that things happen this way - moving on to another company

Here is an honest review from a guy who has worked years in the plumbing service industry and knows how all of this is supposed to go.  I had a serious issue with a meter box that was shorting and melting my electric meter on my house.  It was really dangerous. The power company reps who were awesome left partial power but most everything major had to be shut down.  It was Saturday, 90 degrees, no AC, you get it?  Well after calling the usual people and getting vagueness and BS all around, I called Michael and Sons.  Big ad, expensive? yes.  But a great girl answered the phone, was clear, concise and friendly.  She set the emergency call up, went through pricing, had a guy out in 1 hour.  Folks you have to understand, in an emergency, these guys are going to give you great customer service, excellent knowledge and dedication to boot.  You are going to pay top dollar for that. Jonathan Crispin was my tech and he knew exactly what he needed to do and he communicated excellently.  He is an asset to your organization.  He showed up in a brand new truck with brand new gear and worked in the rain and dark until my power was back up fully.  The 900 dollars it cost, in that moment, was well spent even though it was aggressive pricing.  But taking into account the circumstances and all aspects of the job, I can't say it wasn't proper money spent.  The 5 year service warranty is a good guarantee.  If you ever have an electric emergency and need someone reliable to be there and do the job right at any time of the night or day, call these guys.  You get what you pay for.

I cannot comment on the quality of the work done by H Dee, as I never received a call back after leaving a voicemail request about work I needed done.

Don't do business with this company. Once a defective light was installed for $225. They refused to take it down for less than $185. Puts my cost at over $1000 for the light and installation. Do not use this company under any circumstances. If I could give 0 stars I would.  No sir the light was not working well when your technicians were there, and when I needed it taken down you refused to do anything but charge me an additional $185 to have it removed. No offer from you other than full price. No worries though I tripped the breakers and took it down by myself in 5-10 minutes. It was really hard. I can understand the $185 price tag when an unskilled person such as myself can do it in 5-10 minutes. Thank you so much and I will assure no one I know and do business will ever use your service. Your a real gem. Good job.
