Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

I'm a landlord and didn't interact with them in person at my house, but they were great to communicate with, showed up early, got the job done fast, and in the same day. Tenants were happy to have everything working again. They quickly evaluated the project and gave me what I thought were honest evaluations. The only thing I can complain about would be the price, I get everyone needs to make a living but, wow I didn't expect it to cost what it did for less than 20 minutes of work. I need to become an electrician after that!

I need to acknowledge the crew at Parra Electric Inc. on Smithbridge Rd.  We had a kitchen remodeling job to do that needed the electric work done on two separate dates.  The crew came out for day 1 and did a great job. Phase 2 came up quicker then expected and we called Parra late in the afternoon not very confident they could get us on their schedule as soon as we needed the work to be done. Thankfully they were able to work us in and knocked on the door at 7 am the next morning to complete phase two. They did a great job

I had reached out for a quote to get a new outlet installed and to run some cabling behind the wall. Joe responded within minutes and had a time to meet me the next morning. He worked patiently with me to get everything that was part of my requirements. They came to do the job today and were true professionals from setup to cleanup. While they were wrapping up, I already told them about my next project and I hope to use them again if available. I would have no hesitation using Express Power for any future project!

I was very happy with the service I received from this company. We were ready to move into our new house but turned out the service wire was in really bad shape. We found out because the electric company said it's been over 5 years since that property had service running so we needed to hire some contractor to evaluate if the house was hook up ready before some one came out to actually turn it on. We pay this contractor or w/e guy $100 to pull out front and say I can tell you right now you fail. He took one look at that service wire and that was it. Our moving date had to be pushed.
We called a few local places, Zack Electric was able to give us a fast affordable quote and they met us that afternoon. The guys were really professional and polite, but they were funny and easygoing. The 2 of them were very thorough, they must have been in and out of there in 2 hours. We were really bummed we had to get it done, but they definitely made the situation much easier then I originally expected. I highly recommend them.

My husband and I bought a 120 year old house this fall and were looking for an electrician to remediate the knob and tube in a very tight two week period. Christian and his team were incredibly flexible and responsive and explained things super thoroughly to us as first time homeowners. Since the K&T removal, we have had them back for various projects around the house (fixing outdoor electric hookups, installing light fixtures, and doorbells) and the work is always done extremely well and fast! We will 100% be using them for all of our electrical needs in the future. I've recommended them to a couple of friends and cannot speak highly enough of this business!!

My experience with Pro Install Services has been very positive. Pro Install Services replaced 3 toilets and installed a vanity top in my home.

First off, in our current Covid situation Ryan always respected my health by constantly wearing a mask while in my home.  Also he did an excellent job in explaining to me the scope of the work being done; he kept me in the loop on any issues (which there were a couple) that occurred and made the necessary adjustments in an expedient professional manner. He made aware of all pricing for each job prior to any work being done.  

Lastly the work was done in a neat, quick, and  professional manner. Without hesitation, I would strongly recommend Pro Install Services for home installation and remediation work!

I had an electrical issue with a property I own.  The tenant was really nervous that there was an electrical issue with wiring, etc.  I contacted SG and Steve answered my call and he was able to find time to come out to diagnose the issue later in the afternoon that same day.  

Not only did Steve diagnose and fix the issue, he was aware of our current times with COVID.  He wore a mask, gloves, etc. and most importantly made my tenant feel comfortable.  

Issue is now fixed and at a fair and reasonable price.  I will without question use Steve again on future electrical jobs.

Simply the best. We had a problem with our plumbing that other plumbers couldn't fix. Experience really does matter. They fixed it quickly and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend.

Excellent Service and Fair Pricing. Nate assesed, troubleshooter and repaired my Furnace with ease and explained to me everything he was doing each step of the way. Truly impressed with his professionalism and patience! I felt very pleased with the entire experience and He will be my HVAC guy from here on out!

We hired Mr. Marshall to install recessed lights, two hanging pendants and a new circuit in our kitchen. He did it faster and for less than what we would have paid a non-local contractor obtained through Home Depot. I particularly appreciated his knowledge of where to install the lights. My plan was three in two straight rows; he suggested locating them where the light was needed. Installed, it made perfect sense. He and his workers know the construction of East Windsor-area houses and where they are likely to find the best channels to run wires. He also knows the local permit process and the inspectors respect him.

Interesting both reviews.  Back in 2006, I used Carswell and I swear I started looking for more work for them to do. They were prompt, efficient, clean and reasonably priced.  BUT------ a few months ago, I called to have an estimate done and noone ever showed up! Very disappointing.  I'm going to call again and try my luck but I need the estimates and work done soon. I may have to call someone else. They DID come out for an estimate within a few days and their estimate has been comparable.

I wish I could give Dave Early 0 stars. If you need work in your home, don't hire him. Dave is dishonest. He does not have enough experience for remodeling, especially bathroom, in which I hired him to do. I did not check references or reviews.
First of all he was always late. Most days he was unprepared for the job and had to go to Home Depot or Lowes every day, which took time out of the work day. Most of his work was wrong and had to be torn down by another contractor that did the work correctly. It was also very messy and sloppy. I had 4 contractors tell me they would tare out most of his work and start over. I wish I could show you the pictures. The plumbing was wrong, and he used green board where he should have used hardy board in the shower and used minimal red guard. I had him stop after the first row of tile because he put super thick uneven thinset with gaps everywhere, not flush with the wall. It was a mess. He also took my toilet off every day and put it back without tightening the bolts and caused the toilet to leak. He also fell trying to install the bathtub and put a large hole in the ceiling. I overpaid him. He should be giving me back at least $2000. He now ignores my calls and messaged and won't get back to me on the issues. I can not take him to court since the courts are closed because of COVID. Hopefully anyone who needs work done reads this review. He is very unprofessional and dishonest. I'm a single mon with a special needs son....it doesn't seem to bother him if he has a conscience.

Sunday evening, I had sewer water backing up into my basement and could use the plumbing in my house.  I called Lowry with whom I have a service contract and they told me no one was available until the following day. I then contacted other plumbers and while waiting for a call back, Lowry called and said they could have someone out in two hours.  They demanded and upfront emergency fee of $148 and charged my card.  In the meantime, one of the other services called back and said they could be out in 20 minutes which made sense  with sewer water coming into my home.  Lowry never came out and refused to cancel the $148.  No other service demanded an upfront fee and they were $50 cheaper to begin with.  The were out previous and placed a leaky valve which required yet another service visit the following day.  They were quick to sell a service contract which cant even guarantee emergency service.  I am not sure how they made Bucks county best picks 2017
