Best Businesses in North Carolina

We called Five Star to schedule an appointment for electrical work and were told that Tony could come the same day (later that afternoon). Once it was late afternoon, we followed up by text and calling and got no reply all day long. We waited all day/evening assuming he was still coming and also called the main line and they also couldn't get in touch with him. We had to find someone else who was more responsive so was not impressed with how this company does business. Some of us have jobs and can't sit at home all day waiting on someone to never show up. Would not recommend.

It's hard to find a good electrician, but Johnathon Brown Electric is so great, I'm already trying to find more lighting projects.

After 12 years of tolerating the fluorescent light in the kitchen, the fella and I finally decided it was time to enter the 21st century. I emailed Johnathon Brown Electric to get a quote on putting in recessed lights along with pendants over the kitchen counter. They emailed me back within an hour and had an electrician out later that same day - a Friday, no less - for a quote.

Ryan was really great at walking us through everything we wanted, what it would take to do it, how long it would take, and how much it would all cost. I asked a million questions, and he had to answer me like I know nothing about lights and wiring... because I don't. But he was so patient! He was able to give us a quote when he came out, and we got on the schedule within a couple of weeks. Each time he came out, we got an emailed schedule reminder along with a call when he was on his way.

The job itself couldn't have gone better. The lights look amazing, and Ryan cleaned up everything perfectly after he was done. The cost was exactly what he quoted us, and you definitely get what you pay for.

If you are like me and prefer to support local businesses but you want expert knowledge and quality work call Ronnie at Sky Electric.

First, the owner is such a nice guy you just want to work with him. He and his team clearly take pride in their work and enjoy what they do. They go the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied in a clean and timely manner. I would recommend them to everyone.

deshawn did an excellent job. thorough, fast, and meticulous.  he is responsive,  responsible and respectful.
a very good choice for ylur contracting needs.

Bobby has been our go-to electrician for years now - he not only does the job quickly but does it correctly (anyone who's ever had a poor electrician knows the utter mess they can make of your wiring). He is particularly good with older houses that have had multiple generations of electrical work done on them: he cuts through the nonsense and finds solutions within a few hours that can fix six decades of bad wiring.

Bobby is an absolutely trustworthy gentleman who knows his worth and does not waste time. Anyone who can get onto his schedule will be lucky to have him on the job.

I asked for a quote through Yelp and was pleasantly surprised at the quick response. We set up an appointment for the quote, and again, I was pleasantly surprised that Jose not only gave me a very reasonable quote, but he also installed the ceiling fan immediately. I was expecting to have to make an appointment for another day for install. This business is very professional yet friendly. The old fan was taken away as well as the packing box the new fan came in. The worksite was left clean. Thank you, Jose, for your help!

I highly recommend! Does good work and doesn't leave a mess behind. Honest and reliable, best of all PUNCTUAL and communicative. He also spent some time running us through some other options for our home.

I've used Chad multiple times for projects around my house and cannot recommend him highly enough.  He is responsive, shows up on time every time, does great quality work and his pricing is fair.  I've had him complete a variety of projects to installing hardware on my walls, electrical work (new lights, outlets), assembled/installed furniture and a variety of other projects around the house.  He is a true professional and you won't regret leveraging him for your projects!

Amazing company!! Great service! They are so easy to get in contact with! They go above and beyond! Please see photo below for more!!!

FYI - if you need an electrician I strongly suggest NOT calling Roby Electrical.   I scheduled an appointment for the 2-story family room ceiling fan to be repaired.  The lights all blink, so likely not just a lightbulb replacement.  Clearly told the Roby operator that the room is 2- stories.  Electrician showed up yesterday to basically assess the situation. He walked into the house with zero tools, flipped the lightswitch and nearly immediately recommended replacing the ceiling fan.  He suggested three steps:
(1) today's meet and greet for $100
(2) a proposal for 2 guys to come with a tall ladder and determine what they think the problem might be for another $650 and
(3) a third visit of 2 guys to repair the issue (or replace the fan) for an untold amount.
Goodbye Roby Electrical

I used yelp to solicit some quote and EM got back to me, not with a quote, but with an offer to do a free estimate which to me was better and something the other respondents did not offer. He came the same day, and to the point that one reviewer made about jargon, he did that a bit but I took it as someone really into their work - and he answered all my questions until i didnt have any more. He came, asked me some questions, looked at my setup then gave me a quote which seemed reasonable (and was less than one of the other electricians quoted  - albeit without seeing the issue). He told me what he thought it was, which was not too difficult to understand and it ended up he was right and was able to fix it immediately - he came, diagnosed, and fixed it in under 30minutes! Its a pity the one person had a poor experience because all other respondents gave him a 5 and i would agree with the majority, will use EM Electric again!

I've decided that from now on when contractors either don't show up or don't return calls, I am writing a review.  Previously I have let it slide, but it happens way to often.  Based on reviews here on Yelp, I call Ryan for some help with about 4 electrical problem at my house that I did not feel comfortable doing myself.  I have yet to hear back from him.  I guess he has enough business that he doesn't need mine.

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!

Y'all, if I could give Josh from Blue Collar 10 stars, I would! We had an electrical issue on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. I just went down the line on Yelp and called 15 different electricians... Josh responded quickly, and was over at my house within a couple hours. Quickly got to the bottom of the issue, which was with power IN to the house, helped me call Duke Energy to explain the problem and make sure they dispatched a lineman, and followed up several times over the afternoon and evening to make sure we were okay and all squared away. And even though he could have gouged me on a holiday, he charged me a more than reasonable rate while providing great service. I would absolutely recommend them for all your electrical and HVAC needs (he is licensed for both)!!

Luis and team did an amazing job grounding our outlets, adding new ones and making the electrical in our old home way safer! They had to cut into our plaster walls to do this and our repair person even commented how clean the cuts were! They wired for a light as well and made the cleanest cut in our ceilings. They were efficient, polite and super professional and we will definitely bring them in for any electrical needs in the future!

Chris was extremely professional and found time in his schedule to fit us in on short notice over the holidays.  He quickly identified the source of our flickering lights and provided both a detailed explanation of what was happening and our options to remediate.  Luckily it wasn't a fire hazard, and he was able to easily address the problem right away.

I had an appointment this morning from the hours of 8a-10a and ended up calling them around 930a To see what time they were coming out and the lady said the technician was stuck on a job that was taking longer than expected and that she would call me back at 2pm to let me know. I said it's OK he can come later on because I am off work today after canceling my physical Therapy appointment I made time for them. So no call back at 2.. I ended up calling them back and was on hold for 15 mins or more and she said he was still working on same job from this morning, it would probably be late.. I said that's fine how late she said around 7p.. I said ok. She said we can make an appointment for you in the morning I said I go to work tomorrow..then I got a text from them for an appointment for 8a-10a tomorrow..I said no that won't work.
They had put my new air conditioner in back in 2015 and it was never inspected by Mecklenburg County. So after several letters from Michael And Sons saying they needed to get it inspected now I finally got it inspected by Mecklenburg county and they said that there were several problems one main problem was the wiring that could've caused a fire I'm lucky  that it did not.
So I'm waiting here to see if they're coming out. Some photos attached.

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.
