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 noticed a hot to touch light switch cover plate, and messaged Express Power that night around midnight.  Jon came by the next morning, and was so friendly, prompt and professional and replaced what turned out to be a faulty dimmer switch. He even came back the following morning per my request when the ceiling lights were flickering, to make sure everything was safe at no charge! (turned out to be a PECO issue).  Will definitely use Express Power again.

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!

Steve is amazing! He's knowledgeable, fast and very pleasant! He was a pleasure to work with and got all the electric work needed in our house done hasssle free! I recommend SG Electric for all your electrical needs!

These guys are the best!!!  They've been our family plumber since the mid-90s and we've never been disappointed.  They arrive on time, provide excellent service, are always fair and go above and beyond - especially for little old ladies.  Thank you Tom & Mike!

Called Daniels HVAC based on the referral of my plumber. I thought the price was fair, the Technician came out same day and was able to quote me the price of the job before the work began.

It was an overall good experience and I would use him again.

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.

If I could give 0 stars I would.
Funny, they actually did do a similarly small job for us within the past year, however this time and as another poster wrote, I suppose we're small potatoes for Carswell Electric.  I called, texted and left messages for this company WAY more than a customer should, albeit a RETURN customer.  Only once did I try one more time and actual spoke to an electrician that gave complete and  welcoming lip service but also asked that I call to remind him on the requested day of the service call.
Seriously?  I, the customer need to remind you, the business person for a job?  So when the day came to do the job, I did as I was asked to do, and no one picked up my call nor answered my text message. What a complete and disrespectful waste of my timr.  As a fellow small business owner, what I can tell you is that you continue this way of poor business practices and you will surely one day be OUT of business!

I would recommend to others reading this to look elsewhere.  There are plenty of well meaning, GRACIOUS electrical contractors out there that WANT your business.  Carswell Electric is not one of them.

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.

Horrible Experience!!!!  Don't use this shady company!  They charge $49 to come out but say if you allow them to do the work they will waive the $49 arrival fee.  They do this so you feel obligated to use them.  We researched the service and learned they tried to charge us twice the going rate (for our area) to replace a kitchen faucet!  So in the long run, you aren't saving anything!  The worst part is they broke our garbage disposal.  Of course, they came back out under the pretense of standing behind their work but then denied  their employee broke anything.  It worked the day they arrived and didn't work after they left.  They honestly expected us to believe it was a coincidence that it broke at the same time they did the work.  If there are issues you need to know the person in charge is rude and doesn't stand behind their work.  They are not the family owned and honest company they pretend to be. Honestly, this was the worst experience I have had in years!!!  Just a terrible company to work with!
