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.

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!

Mark and crew were awesome.  Needed a line for a pool pump and a service upgrade.  Not only did he give me a great estimate, he was able to give me a day 1 week out and finished The job in 1 day compared to everyone else who needed 2.  Great attitude and work ethic.  Would highly recommend him.

He showed up perfectly on time and was very polite. He was immediately ready to get to work and was very neat and organized. He cleaned up after himself and left everything exactly as it was before. All for a great price! I'm going to use DTS every time!

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.

Responded quickly to my request. Offered a fixed price and same day service  even though I said my issue was not an emergency. Showed up when promised. Trouble shot and fixed a unique and strange wiring problem in my  100+ year old house. I expect it took a bit longer than he had expected, but honored the fixed price quoted. All around great service at a reasonable price given similar current trade rates (electricians, plumbers, etc.). I will definitely use F&A again for any future electrical service needs.

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.

Left in the middle of a job and never came back. Not only did he not finish the work but he also left all of his trash

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.

Told it would be $89 to come out and diagnose problem. Came, spent 5 minutes checking breakers and then had me sign that it would be $345 to further diagnose and fix if a minor repair. Fixed an outlet, spent 1 1/4 hours total and included a cheap outlet all for the mere cost of $345. I told my son he should forget college and become an electrician. It pays over $250 an hour based on Bruder's rates!

Didn't do work and were hard to deal with.  Work was ok till it wasn't.  Had to get another electrican to finish and fix their work.
Would no recommend

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.
