Best Businesses in Ohio

I am so embarrassed to admit this, but I booked Bradley Electric for an appraisal for a job, ended up not needing them, and then forgot to cancel (terrible, right?!). The nice electric man came to my house on time, waited for me and then politely called to tell me he was at my house. Of course I was embarrassed and also completely panicked because I was not even home. After apologizing profusely, I offered to pay for the appraisal and for his time. The serviceman declined and just simply said, I hope that you will use us next time. Seriously?! Who does that?! Most people would have said some rather ugly things to me for wasting their time and then would have quickly jumped on the chance to make a buck off me. While writing this reviewer , I realize I didn't actually end up using their services, but I can tell you that these guys are honest, kind and they are the kind of people you want to work with.

Excellent work.  Showed up on time and completed the project quickly and efficiently while  observing covid precautions.

I have hired Jess Howard Electric for several projects and have been pleased with overall service. I would hire them again.

From the time I called, they were at my house within just a few days. Replaced 5 builder lights with custom ones I bought myself, one of which was in the two-story stairwell. And they put in an outlet in my bathroom. They sent 2 guys and were done in 2 hours. They were super nice and professional. And being a woman home alone with two men coming to my house, they made me feel very comfortable and were very sweet. Cost around $350 plus a nice tip!

Power to one room had gone out. Checked the breaker in advance to make sure that was not it. Called Strickland. Nate responded within the hour and was able to get us in for same day service. Professional all the way. Was able to locate problem in an outlet that had gone bad. Really happy with the service

Damon was so nice to come out on a holiday and replace an outlet that was damaged.  Super professional and knowledgeable.  He was able to come out the same day- you can't ask for any better response time.  Such a great person to work with.  We look forward to getting more electrical projects handled by Damon in the future!  Damon, we cannot thank you enough!!!!

Excellent service from the minute I called to schedule appointment through job completion. I needed minor work done (replace pull-chain fixture and repair three-way switch) and was able to get an appointment within a few days. The scheduling representative provided a fair and honest price estimate. Technicians were extremely professional, clean, and quick. Highly recommend!

Great experience! Zach and Jack were wonderful: knowledgeable, professional, friendly, courteous. Would gladly recommend this company to my friends and neighbors.

Great guys. Had my plumbing issue fixed in no time and at a great price. I'll definitely use them in the future.

What an exceptional business to work with!! From the first moment I looked up Higher Power Electric, they were so easy to work with the schedule an initial consultation within the week. John was very honest and open with his advise for how to upgrade our outdoor business lighting so that it was most effective, and he even took a drawing of our building plan so that he could provide a detailed proposal for our lighting. I want to say a big thank you to Lyle, Eric, and Jim who performed our installation -- they walked me through everything and answered any and all questions I had. Thank you also to Patrick and Vickie for being so pleasant and helpful!! Our business has a hectic schedule, and they did everything they could to accommodate us, for which I am eternally grateful. Long story short, if you're looking for an honest company that provides exceptional work, look no further!

We have used James for a couple of projects.  Once for a bath remodel and we had him back recently to do some misc electrical repairs and rewiring around the house.  He provides great service!  Shows up when scheduled and his work is excellent.  Will have him back in the near future for a couple more projects.

New to the area, I read the review already online for Excel and called.  My call was returned promptly, he called to let us know he would run a bit late so we felt assured, and a really no-fuss, no drama, tidy job at a fair price all made this service a gem.  I have added Excel to my contacts list and will share with confidence.  A star!

Just wanted to say how pleased we were with this company. We try to use local businesses for services and we definitely were impressed with this family owned business. They responded quickly and didn't charge an arm and a leg. Very pleased.

The appointment was on schedule and he was wearing a mask and super friendly. I have already recommend this company to two friends. He was sufficient and cleaned up after himself, he did a fantastic job!! Needed something else to be done and Riley's is doing that too, GREAT company and very professional.    

Thank you Riley's,
Pickerington, Oh Family

Estimator seemed unsure how their tool to estimate worked and never did his follow up commitments without a customer follow up contact.

I submitted a request for service and estimate to the company web site, and had a scheduled appointment less than an hour later. Tim L. arrived on time, was very polite and professional, and never once complained when installing two ceiling fan/light fixtures that were heavy and awkward.  Tim was clearly competent in his job, made sure I was completely satisfied with the fixtures, cleared away the packaging from the new fans, and cleared away the old fixtures, and made sure the installation areas were clean before he left. I am very satisfied from start to finish with Tim and with the company, and gladly recommend them.

Our kitchen ceiling light had a short in the unit. 'At Your Service Heating, Cooling, & Home Repairs' came to our rescue.  After a referral from a friend and one telephone call, Mr. Robert Jones (sole proprietor), showed up ,on time,  and did wonderful  job replacing our ceiling light fixture.
Mr. Jones was very friendly and because of his professional work ethic, I will have him come to my home again, if I find myself in need of a competent  contractor.

Use caution and get a second opinion when dealing with this business!

I contacted Mr. Handyman of East Columbus, New Albany and Gahanna get an estimate to have a 10 square foot bathroom shower floor retiled. I was asked to send in a picture of the floor, which I did. Much to my shock, the estimate came back as a three-day job for $6,000 - $7,000!!!! I was told that they'd have to tear up the shower step-in, the tub underneath the tile and the subfloor. I said that I only wanted to have the tile redone and their response was that it was the same price as they were planning on having to rip out the subfloor (and all this from a picture!). I asked if they charged $1,500/hour and was told that they don't charge by the hour, they charge by the job.

I just had a professional tiler look at the shower floor, and he estimated the job at $250. Quite a difference! Just to be sure I was comparing apples to apples, I asked him about the tub underneath the tile as well as the subfloor. He said that there was no need to touch any of that and went on to say that there's a special glue that can be used to overlay the new tile on top of the old tile. The gentleman I am now dealing with has been a tile installer for 30+ years and comes highly recommended by several people I know. Care to guess who I'll be going with?

My entire exchange with Mr. Handyman of East Columbus, New Albany and Gahanna was done via texting, so I have a written copy of it all. I'm not sure what would possess someone to quote a job that is 2,400% - 2,800% higher than normal, but it only takes a couple of uninformed customers to make these ludicrous prices pay off.
