Best Businesses in Seattle, WA

My grandpa actually recommended Treats to us when we were getting our furnace replaced. I'd planned on going with another company, but called them out for an estimate as comparison. I was blown away by their customer service, honesty, and thoroughness and told my husband I was sold before I even knew what the bid was. They turned out to be more affordable anyway, and could replace the furnace sooner than the other company I was considering. They showed up on time, got the job done, and I have gotten two follow ups to make sure all is well. I'd definitely recommend Treats to anyone looking for work on their heating system, or a full replacement, which is what we had done. Great company!

Working with Daniel from Strands Electric has been great. He not only gets the job done efficiently and well, but also takes the trouble to explain the work so that you're in the know about your home.

He came by to install several timer lights, and carefully walked us through their functionality and setting them up.

We had an issue with a flickering light after he came by, and Daniel was great in returning to investigate the problem. Turns out it wasn't even a result of his work; but he still refused to take payment for the follow-up visit. Again, he meticulously explained to us what the problem might be, and suggested how we might be able to fix it.

Overall this a service that I would certainly recommend, and Strands Electric will be our go-to people for future electrical work on our home.

Top-quality work, knowledgeable and friendly, technologically relevant - and at a reasonable price. You can tell that these guys really take pride in their work!

I am not easily impressed, but this company is outstanding! I requested bids to install an EV charger from 4 different companies, 1 of whom was a no-show. Brent from Washington Energy was by far the most thorough and professional and gave me complete confidence that they were the right company to hire. Daniel and Cornelius did the install and they were on time, polite, professional, efficient and finished earlier than estimated. They did a great job and the city inspector confirmed that they did an excellent job. I would absolutely hire this company again! The interactions I had with everyone in this company were above and beyond - I'm definitely impressed.

I always thought this place was for big contractors and pro's only.  Wrong. The big box stores didn't have what I wanted so I decided to try Platt, and I'm glad I did. Very good customer service. Competitive prices. Have any wire type you can imagine.  Big warehouse in back full of stuff, just ask the guy at the desk what you're looking for. They double/triple check your order and get it right. Attentive, even to the little guys like me.   Parking lot full of white ford econoline vans. They're doing something right.

I had a question concerning our home in Trilogy at Redmond Ridge and hooking up a generator in the event of a power outage. Paul of Alive Electric already had an appointment here in Trilogy and stopped by after his call.  At no charge, he examined our main panel along with the secondary panel already wired for backup power. He said we were all set up and just needed to purchase a generator and 30 amp power cord and we'd be good to go. Thanks to Paul & Alive Electric. Great service.

Fast, friendly and efficient. They were able to solve our problem really quickly. Highly recommended!

Paul and his team are great. Totally detail-oriented and great to work with. Clearly communicated about what needed to be done. Very professional and courteous. Highly recommend.

AEW is above and beyond professional. As a General Contractor it is hard to find a solid electrician that is timely, honest and does great work. The work is clean and appreciate how everyday the job is clean and free of cut wires. Honest pricing and great communication. We will be using AEW on many of our future projects.

Had Karlin hook up our new spa, and he was able to do it for an extremely reasonable price, all while working within our restrictive timetable. He was flexible and easy to work with, and he did a very professional job. I would definitely use him again for another project.

Don't even bother calling anyone else. These guys are fantastic. We had Mike come by and get some lights working in the laundry room. On time, super quick, and professional.

I had a small job at one of my rentals and they were more than happy to come and get it handled.  They were fast and efficient and didn't rob my wallet.

On-time, professional and courteous, can't ask for better service.
HiTek Telecom is my first choice.

Updated all our old electrical in a 1910 craftsman while salvaging the lath and plaster. Did what he said he'd do, and did it on time.  Easy to work with.  Would recommend and would hire again.

Randy, the owner, responded to my e-mail through Yelp!  He provided his pricing and acceptable forms of payment upfront. I knew exactly what I was getting from him, he told me what he would and would not do on today's visit, and advised that if additional work was needed, it would have to be schedule for a different day. I appreciated the information before scheduling him to come. Randy was very honest and professional, but he also taught me a few things too!  I loved it, i got personally tutored by a licensed professional.  I will definitely use Randy for all my future electrical needs.

Had a great experience with Hunt's Plumbing. They are punctual and do what they say they're going to do.  They did a great job too.

Called three times trying to get them to respond to a power problem in my house. They said ,,oh we'll call you back,,, never did. Called again ,,,we'll call you back when we schedule it,,,never did. I fixed the problem myself. They are not interested in residential work.

We recently moved into an older home that needed some fixes to the electrical outlets as well as some other electrical issues.  I got this company's name from our realtor.  Alex was great.  He came to our house, fixes everything, but didn't oversell his services.  He understood we wanted things to be safe.  He was hard-working, thorough, and even cleaned up the dust and debris left after some extensive work on numerous outlets.  I would definitely recommend this company with no hesitations at all.

Needed an electrical quote for putting in a therapeutic spa and to separate an old not to code box into two because it was tripping.  

Contacted them on Aug 28th.  It took until Sept 15th to get an appointment for a bid because they had few times available and could only give me broad times when they could come.

Electrician came and spent an hour including time in the house (inherent COVID risk, but I needed the work done and thought them to  a trustworthy company who could do the job having been referred from HomeOwners Club.  

I was told I would get a quote in 2-3 days.

After six days I got this response:
Good morning Stephen! I hope this e-mail finds you well. My deepest apologies on the extreme wait. We at Brennan really want to make sure all of our customer's are satisfied with the business we do with them. I'm going to send this through to our electrician and see what's going on here.
Thank you for your continued patience.

After another 4 days of waiting and no response I called again and emailed.  I also emailed Homeowners club.  

The next business day I got this response.

Stephan,

My apologies due to the lack of communication, I have left a couple voice mails without response (maybe I have the wrong contact info)

Due to the scope of work requested for separate service and or meter base the  city of Seattle will need to review in planning

You are responsible to start the process on there website existing service alteration (attached)

After confirmation of approval we can offer adequate proposal'

He indeed had left one voice mail at 412pm on the day of the email, two weeks after the electrician was out and a month after first contacting them.

I have had two other quotes and not one mentioned that I needed the city to review just to get a quote.  

Avoid this business, if they it takes them a month to tell me they cant give me a quote, who knows how long it would take them to do the job.

Given the quality of their communication one could infer that the quality of their electrical work is going to be bad as well.  Trust the safety of my family using an electrical company that is so clearly inept.  I think not.
Also they misspelled my name ;)
