Best Businesses in North Carolina

Five Star Electrical & Plumbing is a family-owned operation of Tony, a general electrical and plumbing handyman. When we moved to Charlotte and discovered that our new home had several undisclosed issues, Tony helped us identify the problems and get the house in better shape. We hired him initially for some electrical issues but he ended up fixing some plumbing and AC issues as well. He is more responsive to customers than a bigger company and his pricing is fair. I would recommend giving him a call for general fix up needs for your home.

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.

Shawn was amazing, he came by to install 5 ceiling fans. He is very responsive and provided high quality work. I will be hiring him again!

Bobby was able to take care of my problem quickly. He met me at my rental property within 2 hours and had the new meter and control panel installed within 24 hours. Great service.

Our new oven started sparking,  tripped the fuse, and wouldn't turn back on. We had the manufacturer come out to inspect the oven and they wouldn't inspect beyond the installation (not initially installed by Gianni's) until we had our own electrician come out. Gianni's responded quickly and we had an appointment set very soon. Jesse showed up around 7PM the night of our appointment because he got held up with other projects, but took the oven out and inspected the issue. He diagnosed the problem, fixed it for the time being, quoted me for the full solution, and scheduled the next service within one hour of being there. For the big repair, Jesse came back and fixed everything, showed me pictures of the before and after, ran new wires under the house and to the electrical panel. All is working well and Jesse (and Gianni's) was fast, reasonably priced, and you would never know they were here but for the fact that my oven actually works now.

Bill was amazing! Super knowledgeable, communicative, and really helped me trouble shoot a few separate issues that turned out to be connected!

Chad was professional, affordable, punctual, and a pleasure to work with. He did his homework on the project prior to quoting me his rate. My project had layers to it and he communicated effectively. He offered great suggestions on follow up tasks I had surrounding the project, and those suggestions proved extremely helpful. He went above and beyond. Even charging me less once he completed the work. I highly recommend!

I do not recommend this business. They tried to inflate my bill by recommending an expensive solution for a routine repair. They told me a replacement part I needed was totally impossible to find and the best fix would be a much more involved workaround, but I was able to find the part myself without too much trouble and someone else handled the repair for a fraction of the cost. I can't tell if they were unethical or just incompetent, I just know I would never trust these people to do anything.

We are new to this state and really didn't know anyone. And our house we bought.. ..... well.... that is another yelp review for the real estate agent. And not a very good one.

I did a lot of shopping around before finding them.  I also did a lot of estimates.  We only had so much money left after the move and were not expecting the house to be in such disrepair.

I trust them.
I feel comfortable with them (husband is away at work and I am home alone I feel safe and comfortable with these guys in the house. They are VERY respectful)

All needs under one name.  Very convenient and they have all of our history.

We ran out of cash and still needed work done.  They pointed us to financing that was extremely affordable.  THANK YOU!!

Thank you guys for helping us with our nightmare home.  It is now turned into the cliche dream home.

Yes I will keep the sign up for a bit.  Its the least we can do.

Had a fantastic experience with EM Electric this morning. I was having some electrical issues and Evan not only responded immediately, he resolved my problem over the phone. Many companies would have made sure to come out so they could charge me, but not Evan. I will absolutely be using him for future work!

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)!!

Never showed up for estimate.  If you insist on using this firm, please call the day before to speak with a live person to confirm the appointment time.  The person who took the original call to schedule appointment sounded as though they had just woken from a nap.  Good luck to you.

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.

A home inspector found that we needed to have our gas water heater grounded, and it needed to be repaired since we were under contract to sell our home. Our realtor sent us a list of recommended vendors, and Michael and Son was the only electrician on the list. So we scheduled them to come out and quote the job. I was not home but my wife met with the technician, Jonathon. He was courteous and professional.  He quoted the job at $479. We felt painted in a corner given the time frame was short to make the repair, so we agreed to have him do the work. Come to find out that this job was not in line at all with the market price for this service. The job was done right, no question. The question is around the price for a simple repair.
I called the customer care line and was greeted promptly and courteously. I explained the situation and asked to speak with the supervisor. When the supervisor got on the phone, he listened again as I explained the situation. He understood the position and explained that there is not much he could on the phone but he stated he would send a message to the area supervisor to give me a call.
I received a call later that day from the GM. We talked for 30 or more minutes. It was a very frank discussion and he knew how displeased I was with the price. Being a sales professional myself, I know how businesses operate. They are in it to make money. And I am in the business of hanging to as much of mine as I can. I was not particularly pleased with the GM explaining to me they hire only the best and they have to pay them a premium. I get it, you want the best. He continued to explain that his techs expect to make 6-figure salaries. What couldn't be explained is why a job is bid not by the hour but by the job itself. The market price for this service with a licensed, bonded and insured electrician is between $85 and $125. Not $508. The GM understood my complaint and we negotiated a lower price, although that price is still well above the market price for this service.
So, I will say Michael and Son do a good job, the techs are well prepared, and professional. I would recommend them, but get quotes from other licensed contractors, then negotiate a price.

My door shifted due to house settlement making my door unable to open or close properly. I messaged him and he replied very quickly, was able to come next day to give a quote. He diagnosed the problem and explained all the options carefully for me. He was able to complete the job same day for a reasonable price. Door swings better than before. He made sure to leave his work tidy as I had it before. Also very friendly. Will use him again for future repairs.

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.
