Best Businesses in Seattle, WA

We needed a new electric service panel in our home in Maple Hills as well as the capability to use a generator to run the lights, heat, TV, tankless water heater, etc. during power outages. Steve from Wilderness Electric, a 30+ year electrician, did a fantastic, professional job. He answered all my basic questions in layman' terms as I have no experience in electrical matters. Furthermore, their price was very competitive. I highly recommend Wilderness Electric.

I had an electrical issue during the recent storm and Shawn and his partner were available on short notice to help out. They diagnosed and fixed the issue and also gave me some good advice on future updates I can do to prevent similar issues. Professional and courteous. Thank you!

We heartily refer Jonathan with Sparks Electric. He was on time and completed multiple tasks quickly. We found there was a hot wire in our attic, a tripped circuit in the kitchen, installed five new smoke detectors (two in vaulted ceilings), one closet on/off sensor and a new doorbell.  He was well prepared and his price was very fair.

I scheduled Neptune Electric out to my work for a job. We needed a washer dryer connection set up as well as electricity brought out to an outer building. They were very responsive to communications which is much appreciated when you too are running a small business. They came and finished in a timely manner with no disruption to our day and stayed on budget. I cannot tell you how much it means to be able to find a company you can trust to do great work and be honest. I would recommend this company to anyone who asks.

The Linder technician BJ installed a new outlet to prep for mounting our TV over the fireplace.  He was fast and the outlet looks great.  He also provided information regarding how to measure and size a new TV in the future, and how to determine whether the new outlet would be covered.  We also talked about the new LCD lights, and he had a great tip to get more light out of the can lighting system in my family room.  He offered to check out any other lighting 'projects' for me, and made sure I had his card if I needed to contact him at any time in the future.  He did a great job!

I had a electrical problem at the house.  Company was booked  out for weeks.  The person who helped me on phone walked me through my issue and saved me money at the same time.  Thanks for the help.

Not happy with them at all. They had come over to install an outdoor electric outlet and quoted me a price. After the work was done they asked for a separate fee for permit, which they said was not included in the original estimate even though I asked them explicitly during the initial visit. They were also supposed to schedule an inspection and I have yet to hear from them even though I have emailed them twice. Very disappointed in the service. As for the work, the person installing, it took them two tries to install the outlet and the person installing cut the wire too much so had to add extra wiring using a connector.

This guy is great (Dean Drew).  This is the second time I have used him. The first time was to install some new electrical work in my basement. The most recent time was to install a dishwasher. Here is why he is great:
1. He is bonded/insured and very professional.
2. He is extremely honest in his quotes- he will not low-ball you to earn your business. He will explain what kind of concerns or issues he may run in to during the work and the range of expenses this might result in.  He then quotes on the high end to reflect potential unexpected costs. His bill in both cases was much lower.
3. Great quality work- everything looks great. the place was clean. he was quickly in and out.

I highly recommend this guy. He specializes in all aspects of your home repair (painting, cabinetry, remodels, plumbing, wiring, etc.) and has a knack for working on older Seattle homes (1900's).

David is a mensch, and a careful, efficient and effective electrician.  He responded to a sunny Sunday afternoon voicemail of distress in under 15 minutes and was at our location 15 minutes later.  He diagnosed our issue carefully and after assuring himself that the fix wouldn't cause other problems, got the job done and the power running again.

One of the best independent business man or woman in El Dorado county, I don't live else ware otherwise I would say the world!

Twice this year Matt at Bird Electric responded quickly to an emergency situation at my rental house in Suquamish. The first time the mast and meter was pulled off the house by a fallen branch. Matt was on site early the same morning, assessed the damage without drama and had two men working on the repairs before noon. Awesome! The second time a tree had fallen across the power lines and PSE's transformer fell off the pole sending a power surge down the line that destroyed all of the home's appliances, the GFIC's and many of the LED lights. Again, Matt quickly assessed the situation, reassured my tenant that there was nothing wrong with the home's electrical system, made recommendations to improve and protect, then sent a very competent and professional electrician (Kevin) to make the necessary repairs and improvements. Unheard of customer service in today's world!! Many thanks to Bird Electric, Matt and Kevin!

I commented previously and now that we have completed our renovation it's time to renew my endorsement for this fine electrician.
He thinks of the job when he's not on the job - I have received emails from him asking questions and making suggestions.
He has done outstanding electrical work in our condominium and I can't imagine using anyone else.

One of the better contractors I've found in this area, and we've worked with a lot.  Very competent, courteous, cleans up after himself (so rare) and most importantly, his work actually fixes the issue you hired him for (so many times we've had to re-do work ourselves or hire someone else to do it if we can't after we pay someone here).  Only issue, like every other good contractor here, it can be hard to get in touch with him and schedule work to be done.  But I think that is just the way it is and if you are lucky enough to find a competent contractor in this region you just have to keep calling.

Since 2011, Pete (owner) and Galaxy Electric has provided dependable and expert electrical work for me at my home and residential rental property.  You will get timely responses and follow up.  I trust Pete to conduct thorough trouble shooting, to give me reasonable suggestions for next steps, and to carry out the work professionally.  Jody Clovis, Seattle (2020)

Just the best.  We've used them for a number of years and always more than pleased by their prompt and professional service.  

We have a generator another company charged us 1k to repair and then it still didn't work. The other company said they refused to service it.  W E came out and immediately got it running and helped us get 4-5 more years out of it.

Can't lavish enough praise.  Always great!

I contacted Mr. Electric to get a bid for wiring in a new hot tub.  The first appointment was moved because the dispatcher did not think the electrician would make it, no biggie.  I was scheduled for today at 12 noon and even had a email confirmation pertaining to that.  Both my wife and myself took time away from work so we could be there.  At 1pm I contacted the Operations coordinator to inquire about the whereabouts of the electrician.  She told me that the electrician had called in sick and would not be there.   I was angry that they did not have the courtesy to call me before hand to let me know the situation.  Of course she offered to reschedule the apt but I quickly declined.

I've been working with Ross for years. First, he handled my personal lighting and electrical needs at my home in West Seattle. When I became a realtor, I started referring him to clients. Everyone is pleased with his work and that speaks volumes. He is always professional, always tidy, and knowledgeable. He does wonderful work and I will continue to refer him with confidence. You won't be disappointed!

An electrician came by this afternoon to diagnose an electrical problem we have with our driveway lights. He was unable to solve the problem and in addition screed up my garage door opener that now doesn't work and I have to operate it manually. When I called in and described the problem they said there was nothing they can do. They charged me over $400.00 and couldn't solve the problem and left me in an unworkable situation. On a scale from 1-5 I give them minus zero. At the very least they should have fixed the problem they caused.
