Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

I would recommend him for electrical work. He did a good job with my 200amp service. Also fished some wires for me. He is on time and cleans up before leaving.

We have lived in the Radnor area for over 30 years.  Our home is over 100 years old and we seem always to need an electrician.  This company is hands down the best!!! Timely, organized, clean, professional!  And they use quality products and their work is very professional!  Easy to work with and very responsive!  The very best!

Mark has worked on various projects at our house, and he always does an awesome job. This includes some tricky fixes for our old house, and correcting work done improperly by previous electricians. Mark is knowledgable, fair and all all-around good guy.

We have used DTS in both our homes for a number of projects over the past 5 years. Dave is always helpful, on time and honest! Everything you could ask for in a service provider. Grateful to him for all of his help!

Tom Matt and Crystal are great. I've used them for both commercial and residential projects. Their work is clean and they pull permits seamlessly. Additionally the inspector they use is very easy to deal with. Highly recommend them.

There was an electrical fire in my home and Mr Waring came in to do the rewiring. He was very unprofessional. He never discussed with me what I needed to do as a tenant to secure my personal belongings while he would be working on the premises. He claims he consulted with property management but never with me when he first came to inspect the property while I was there. Needless to say, Mr Waring added fire inspector and a detective to his credentials by taking snapshots of my personal belongings and sending them to management and complaining that I had too much stuff. He also worked overtop of my belonging(clothes, sofas, beds, children toys etc)without using any drop cloths. There was dirt that had fallen from out of the inside of the ceiling(he had to cut it open to rewire), plaster, and dust all over our things and all over the carpeting throughout the entire unit. Another day I had come to pick up my mai, there was trash all on my porch where this unprofessional professional had sat, ate and left his mess. He left food containers inside my home on the steps where it had drawn gnats. He was just another business looking for a quick dollar. He had no respect for our belongings or for himself.

Unreliable, unprofessional, non-communicative. Yes! you do I asked you several time for the dryer outlet installation. You ignore me suddenly when I asked your availability. Thats bad business. You could been honest you dont know how to do it instead of ignoring me. You acted like when asked to reschedule you acted like I wasted your time and gas, when clearly we are just texting for possible schedule its not like you travel all the way to me and turn you down, I text you immediately when can work be done, just ignore the whole time. Avoid at all cost.~beWARE PEOPLE HE DONT COMMUNICATE ALOT.

Don rewired my entire 4-bedroom home in Philadelphia, removing all the old knob-and-tube, and did a fantastic job. He finished on time, and did not try to upcharge me or add hidden costs. Everything was done exactly as promised. Thorough attention to detail and cleanliness. His team did a great job protecting our belongings and hardwood floors, and spent an extensive amount of time ensuring all the prep work was done right. When the painters came in after-the-fact, they said it was the best sheetrock / drywall patching they had seen by an electrician - this meant that the painters could get right to work and didn't have to re-do anything (or charge us any additional money). Prep-work and patching cannot be over-emphasized: it saved a TON of headaches on the back-end. Also, after the painting was complete, my garbage disposal wasn't working. Don sent his guy out the following day and fixed it free of charge (even though in the end it turned out to be the painter's fault). All said, if you are looking to re-wire your house I would highly recommend Don.

3/13/21 William Walker &  his Apprentice, Nathan do exceptional work. This company, A Man & His Tools LLC, was recommended to us by our realtor.

We were in a bind and needed some repairs to go to closing and William shuffled around his work to accommodate us. They're honest and do quality work. They even went to Home Depot to pick up items we ordered for the job.  They worked tirelessly for two days to handle the items we needed repaired.

William and his team are trustworthy and perfectionists. William's team is capable to handle any job for you. The quality of the work performed is excellent.

The jobs he & Nathan completed for us were installing a fire rated door, two garage door openers, stabilized a sink and adjusted the pitch of our stove.

Convenient to pay with credit card with electronic invoices. They are following the cdc guidelines too.

Very pleased. With gratitude , William.

This stellar company is worthy of your business.

We lost power in the home.  The electrician who responded was courteous, professional, and helped us solve our problem.  He was honest, and he was patient.  I'll call MLE whenever I have an electrical problem.  God bless this group of electricians.

BEWARE!
They have this down to a science: $79 service fee to come out, deductible if they do the work. Once arrived they needed a $289 'investment' to 'evaluate and repair' so why the $79? Like a fool I signed for the $389. Next on the schedule is asking to see the circuit breaker panel, and what a surprise, it needed replacement at $11,000, three times the national average!!  Said no to that. Then on the the actual job I called about , fixing a 3 way switch in our hallway. After the 'evaluation' told me it was more difficult and would cost a good bit more to do. (Turned out to be $611) We told him we were not prepared for that and declined to have them do the job.  I expected to swallow the $79 service call charge but no,
'they evaluated' and we wouldn't 'let them' do the job so we owed the whole $389. Not prorated as to how much for the eval and how much for the repair. But being an understanding guy he 'gave me a break' and cut it down to merely $329. Then told us more about how we should really replace the circuit breaker panel. Finally they left, we were out $329 and nothing was done.
Check out Mark M's review, sound familiar?

I recently called this electrician to replace two outlets and hang a new kitchen light in my home. The electrician went down the basement into my circuit breaker box and proceeded to check each switch by flipping them back and forth while I stood at the top of the stairs and heard him. After two hours he completed the job.

The same day, about an hour later, I turned my thermostat on because it was getting chilly in the house. After about an hour or less I noticed it was getting colder in the house and I thought we were out of oil. So I went down the basement to check on the oil meter and I had a half a tank left.

At this point, I was confused so I called my oil company and a service guy came out the next day. He checked the oil meter and then asked where the circuit breaker box was located. He then noticed that the oil switch was turned OFF not on. So, obviously the electrician did not turn the oil switch button back on.    

I called the electrician company and told them about the issue and they said they would double check with the electrician who did the service and relay the message to the owner. I heard nothing for a couple weeks and then just received a bill today. This is the conclusion that they came to: THE ELECTRICIAN DOESN'T REMEMBER TURNING OFF MY OIL SWITCH.

So, I turned off my own heat and hot water for 24 hours?

Well, I guess I can officially give this place one star even though it deserves 0 stars. Called this place and ask them to come out for some electrical work. They said they would come out within the week.

A month later and 2 attempts to get them on the phone (both failed) they still are not here  and have yet to even responded... so I took my business elsewhere. $5,000 dollars in electrical work gone. Some people just dont like money or maybe they just dont know what they're doing over here. I guess Ill never know. Goodluck, McMenamins Electrical. The way you guys do business youre going to need it.
