Best Businesses in Pennsylvania

I called Street Brothers because I was selling a house and wanted to get a several electrical issues fixed.  Steve was very responsive and helpful.  He came to the house the next day and started the work right away.  He found a few things that I didn't know about but that a home inspector would have cited as problems and fixed those too.  His prices were very fair.

I needed electrical work done in my garage for a new garage freezer. I got a response back from the business in under 2 hours with a quote. We scheduled the work and he came on time, finished in less than 2 hours. Very reasonable price, very professional.

I can't really speak for this company's quality of work but I can speak about their lack of professionalism.  Had a leak that caused water damage to dry wall ceiling and contacted this company to set up an appointment.  staff replied and I gave him my contact info and address and we got an appointment set up.  I went and left work early-  however my contact was a NO SHOW.  Contacted multiple times and didn't even bother to reply.  I definitely do not recommend.

Electrical Plus is a very professional company. They called to confirm my appointment the day prior and again the same day to let me know they'd be a couple of minutes late. Jim, who came to do the work, was great! He explained everything to me and was quick and efficient. I would definitely recommend and use Electrical Plus again.

Corey is the nicest guy to work with!!! He came in under budget and really helped me out.

Jeff came out to our house to perform a free estimate. He took a look around for 15 minutes, then informed my husband that it was just the breaker and that he had fixed it right there and then. He said he'd send a bill, which we figured was fair enough since the problem was fixed, after all. He never indicated a price to either of us before or after the service and we never agreed to any price because none was ever given to us.

A few days later we were sent a bill for $175. Somehow, a free estimate (as listed right on his Angie's List page) that lasted 15 minutes turned into a $175 service charge. When I emailed him to ask him about the charge and how he got that number, he gave me a step by step (literally--he even told me how many times he walked back and forth between the house and garage) retelling of that 15 minutes. That still didn't explain why he is advertising free estimates as such if they aren't, in fact, free. I informed him that if he had to perform billable work to complete an estimate, then he shouldn't offer them for free. Had he told me upfront that he would need to charge us for testing, I would have asked the price and agreed or passed on the appointment. That is the fair way to do business.

In response, Jeff sent me this email [sic throughout quote]:

You know what? Forget it. On me!!  I dont want you as a customer. I dont want your money   Please dont ever call me again for service. Im happy to fix your problem for free , but i choose to never service you again. Its not worth the aggravation. i never in 30 years have been treated like this. Have a nice day.

It was incredibly unprofessional and downright rude. MY emails were firm, but always polite. I had offered to pay for a portion of the bill since I did think it was fair to pay for fixing the problem. Had he had an explanation for why the bill was so high (travel costs, parts, something like that), I would have paid the whole thing; however, Jeff had no explanation for these costs and instead resorted to throwing a temper tantrum.

I took it upon myself to post this email on Facebook yesterday and in less then 24 hours I've had others come to me and tell me that Jeff tried to con them or their friends out of money. So buyer beware--this is not a person you want to do business with.

UPDATE: Since posting this review, Jeff has sent me messages through email and Yelp apologizing for his behavior, but I chose not to respond because he seems very unpredictable. As a result, he is now attempting to say that I'm lying, etc. I still have the emails between the 2 of us, as well as a screenshot showing that he advertises on Angie's List for free estimates he is not willing to provide. Nothing I have posted here is untrue in any way. Based on his current behavior I can only assume that his attempts at an apology were only made to make me alter my review and now that he isn't getting his way, he's trying to discredit me. This is not someone you want working on your home. And by the way--the power is out in my garage again so his fix was a total waste of 15 minutes anyway.

We recently had Rich and his crew install outdoor lighting for us. Their price was reasonable and they completed the work as promised. Initially, we had a problem with the lights not working properly. They immediately followed up and they thought it might be the transformer that was overloaded but they wanted to be absolutely sure before incurring the expense of a new transformer. The crew came to the house several times and by process of elimination ultimately determined that it was a transformer issue. This is one of the few contractors we have had who diligently followed up until the issue was resolved. Very professional and courteous. We will always call RMV for our electrical needs.

I owned my home for several years and had no ceiling light in my living room. My home was over 100 years old, so it was originally gas lighting. Manny placed 6 recessed lights in my living room ceiling and included a dimmer switch! Then he installed baseboard electric heaters in every room including my living room. He did an excellent job and I was very happy.

We had to run new electric service on a farm to multiple buildings and upgrade the very outdated wiring that came with it (house is from the 1700's).  The old service was above ground, we switched to below ground (not trivial on this property).  Multiple complexities involved in making this project a success.  Josh did a great job working with me to figure out the best solution and was very prepared for the job.  He ran the whole job by the inspector BEFORE starting any work to make sure everything would be done properly when the inspector showed up.  A few weeks later we had a very clean and professional installation.  Josh makes sure his customer is happy first, and charges very reasonable prices for the quality of his work.  Highly recommend to anyone looking to have electrical work done!

Knowledgeable, reasonably priced, honest, teachers. They do the opposite of taking advantage of you, they empower you. I had a guy over for 2 issues and after fully researching, he gave me quotes but also DIY instructions for my handy husband. Also checked my wiring which was above and beyond. Didn't charge a dime after an hour visit. Their approach is just what you'd hope for in a neighborhood repair person. They definitely earned my trust and will be the first place I call in the future.

I had a mysterious short circuit and they worked well after hours, on their own time, to insure I had holiday lights. Explained exactly what they were doing every step of the way. Will definitely use them again.

Excellent service,always aiming for the highest quality,Highly recommended to all the family and friends

This electrical contractor is nothing more than a used car salesman ,his expertise is in selling you the job!
He has no follow thru no concept of customer service
Not even sure he 's an Electrican. Do yourself a favor find an electrician that understands his follow thru and job completion is as important as his sales pitch.
Marlo electric is a short waiting to happen!!

I never got service, after having made two appointments. I had to call them to confirm the time, only to find out they weren't coming!  The second time I waited 5 hours, and finally I
called them to find out they got busy in the office and forgot to call me.  This is no way to run
a business!

Way over Priced. $5,000 to $8,000 just to to run electric to an above ground pool. No thanks, I'll keep looking.
