Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

A couple weeks ago we had some issues with an electrical outlet in our home and called BG electric.  They diagnosed and provided solutions to our problems.  They also provided, what I think to be very fair, pricing quote before they started the work.  
They cleaned up after themselves and left the work area clean.  We are very pleased with their work.  
They treated us and our home in courteous manner, which is very important to me.  They are now our go to electrician.

A huge shout-out to Ron Parra and the team @ Parra Electric! The crew from Parra recently replaced our main circuit board and installed a whole house generator on our home. They were professional, clean, and worked with us to help us stay on-line and live with two professionals working from home and two kids going to school online, all while they basically replaced our electrical service. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Was on time finished everything in a few hours. What seemed like a huge job he made look simple. Will always use him in the future for other properties. Was way under other estimates

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.

I have used Tom Sullivan several times. He has installed a toilet & done other jobs for me. He is always competent & professional with fair prices..

Talk about top notch service!! Mr. Daniels (Daniels HVAC) was professional and competent from start to finish. He went above and beyond for what I needed and not only completed my job but also provided so much knowledge for other issues I brought to his attention in my home that I had concerns about. He even took extra time to explain things and was patient through the entire process with my husband and I (because we had so many questions). I never felt rushed or pressured. I felt he was both honest and upfront. His prices were very reasonable and the job was done right!!!! He definitely has a customer for life:) 5 star service at its best!!

We've used Ken Marshall and team for over 15 years in 2 houses. 2 major home renovations and numerous small projects. I LOVE these guys, and the phone folks, as well. Recommend the firm highly.

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.

This has been one of the worst customer service experiences of my life.  I had them install a new HVAC system (which they recommended) at the end of sept 2016.  It has been an unseasonably warm winter so we have not had to use the furnace much yet but in the 2 cold spells we have had it has not worked.   That is frustrating enough.  But the poor customer service, lack of technicians' knowledge and no communication has been the worst of it.  I now sit here AGAIN with no heat and no call backs.   The tech who came out told me it's my thermostat....the day before the install manager who came out proved it is not.   They do not show up when expected, do not tell you they are running late and have no interest in resolving anything.
If I could get my money back, my old 30 yr old furnace I replaced back and undo the whole deal I would, and erase the name Lowry from my memory.   Home Depot recommended them and I guess my next step is to tell them about this ordeal so they don't keep sending customers their way.   Fed up beyond belief, and I am generally a reasonable person.   I just want working heat.  You would think a $8k+ system might get you that....
I would give 0 stars if I could
