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.

Amazing guys! Scott and his crew were professional and thorough from estimate to final walk through. They did a whole bunch of work from upgrading my box to installing and rewiring half the house. The team came in, well organized and finished according to plan. They cleaned up after themselves and were very thoughtful about where they placed new fixtures and switches. Their price was 15% below my next lowest bid too. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again!

Three of my lights went out with the past storms all in different areas of the home.  Somewhat nervous about the source of the power outage, I contacted my kitchen designer for the name of an electrician since I trusted her opinion on contractors.  My requirements were somewhat strict...honest, personable, knows what they are doing, and fair pricing.   Without hesitating, she gave me Mark's name. She mentioned that it may take him a bit to come out since he was very busy.  Three days later he was at my home for the repair.   Even though Mark was at my home for a  short period of time the experience was excellent.   He identified the problem, fixed it rather quickly, very customer focused and showed me how to fix it myself if it happened again.  Exceptionally pleased and will recommend him to friends, family and definitely use him again.

Replaced a whole house surge protector. He was punctual and worked competently. Dave is a friendly, helpful electrician who readily answered all our questions.  I would recommend him.

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.

Wednesday afternoon I lost half the electric in my home.  I called Jonathan and he came quickly, fixed the problem and left us grateful.  Very grateful.  His service is wonderful.

I am so annoyed with this company!  Twice on his advertisement it says free estimate with no specificity on the type of order.  I am in the maintenance business and that is very common.  I contacted him to give me an advertised free estimate on my faulty outlet in my garage.  We were in the process of making arrangements when he informed me there would be a $95.00 service fee to come out that would be waived if I accepted his bid.  My electrical contractors in this area charge $75.00 an hour in my business.  I asked why his estimate was not free and I would like to share his verbatim arrogant response with you:

I do free estimates.  But you're (misspelled) job is not Estimate it's a troubleshooting.  No one is going to come out to do that for your for free for sure.  The estimate is when you want to add something like if you had no outlet in the garage and you wanted to add one yes that's called an estimate when we come out and tell you how much it's going to cost to add one.  But you have a non working outlet where we need to come out and troubleshoot it and fix it.  If you can find a Company that come out to you and do troubleshoot that for you for free reach out to me I will give you $50 gift card promise.

WHAT???!!! How disrespectful and arrogant can you get?  Free estimate applies to new work and trouble shooting as well. In my world you check the issue and advise how much it will cost to fix the issue.  Then the homeowner decides what to do from there.  Be VERY careful with these people.  One contact an hour long and I can see the dishonesty a million miles away...

Don is a really nice guy. I purchased  an old row home with lots of old/shoddy wiring. He updated as many of the outlets as possible in preparation for an upcoming rewire job. Basically, he got the house so the electrical is safe and reliable while I save up the big bucks for the larger rewire job.

Pros: He's a guy, not a company, so you always deal with him directly. He's a hard worker, and will always be honest about the depth/scope of the work needed. He's clean and neat--when he worked at my place he laid down numerous cushioned drop cloths, swept up, and took all of his mess with him when he left. He was also really nice to my hardwood floors. I think messy job sites are a pet-peeve of his. He's incredibly knowledgeable and totally let's you pick his brain.

Cons: There's really only one. He's really scatter-brained and hard to schedule. Like every other great contractor, he books out weeks (if not months) in advance. He doesn't have a receptionist or anything, so you end up having to call and remind him about the job 2 days prior, then the day of. It's annoying, but a small price to pay for good work. I'm always weary of tradesmen whose schedules are wide open.

He mostly works out by Chestnut Hill but would venture farther into Philly if you sweet talk him into it. I'm planning my rewire job for the spring, so you can bet I'll be setting up dates with him in February.

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.

Five stars for fantastic and professional service !
It's become quite the norm over the years to always leave room for improvement, but I honestly could not do that in good conscience.   Troy and his son showed up on time, as promised, and did the work they were hired to do in less time than expected.  The entire work area was cleaned and left just as it was when they arrived.  I'm a happy dude and give Mainline electric 2 thumbs up.

Why five stars? First of all because they are honest. The thing I am concerned with the most when having repairs made is whether the person making the repairs are being honest with me or trying to sell me things I don't need. Bruder is honest. So I know I can count on that. Secondly, the work they do is done right. I don't have to worry about that with Bruder. They have worked for me several times and every time has been a positive experience!

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.
