They came on time as promised and gave a complete review of the work they needed to do. Work was done professionally and promptly. I would have no problem using them again.

They scheduled an appointment to come see the project, and didn't show up. I asked them what happened and they had forgotten (I get it, it can happen). Same thing second time. I tried to contact them again, no luck, no answer, no apology.

Waste of time.

Sadly, I do not recommend this company for complex jobs. For running wire, they ok. However, if the project involves Sheetrock work or any construction repair, choose another company with the expertise. Their cleanliness and care for their work area is very poor. One room they did, they didn't put down plastic or tarp and as a result, we had to have the hardwood floor done over. One of the more ridiculous issues we had was when we found my son's bed slats in a door frame, because they didn't have the proper materials. There are two other slats, only God knows where they are in our walls. I can go on and on, but to relive this ordeal is quite upsetting. Their only redeeming quality was that they were very nice people. If you choose this company definitely get references and pics.
And if Ganesh claims we're not in his area, I will post the checks and receipts for what work they did.

Initially, we were impressed with their professional manner. They gave a quote which seemed reasonable. Because of the extensive work we needed, the owner said he had a construction crew that they worked with. Well I'd like to say this story had a happy ending, but it did not. We were hit up for another 10K for supplies . Our mistake, lesson learned. Never give money up front. Their construction crew did not know what they were doing. After a week we decided they needed to leave as we were not only furious at the shoddy construction, but every night we would shake our heads in disbelief. We called in a real professional who apologized that someone in his field would actually call it a professional job. Imagine that. We are still trying to correct the mess they left us with. With regard to the electric work, we were naive and probably would have done things differently. The job was ok, but just ok. Moral of story: NEVER give money without proof of work. ALWAYS, know what you want and how you want it done. ALWAYS get references. ALWAYS get a reference from people that you know. FINALLY, check YouTube. There is always video for any work that can be done by yourself. Would NOT, and WILL NOT recommend this company.

I was exploring some outlet replacement ideas. G&R responded promptly to my inquiry, sent out an electrician to review the job on site for a very reasonable cost, and provided a typed up scope of work and cost estimate on the spot. Will definitely use them again! Reliable, friendly, competent.

I needed to add an outlet in my bathroom and they did a wonderful job and reasonable price. About a month later i had some questions and they were able to help me.

Ganesh did a great job relocating and cleaning up our breaker box. He alerted us to several issues with the current wiring and was able to fix them up. He went above and beyond by installing a service light and outlet in the breaker box area for no additional fee. I definitely recommend him and will stay in contact for future jobs.

When I jumped on Yelp to find an electrician to help with newly discovered wires under a shed we knocked down, G&R were certainly the most aggressive in responding and making themselves available to check out my issue.

They arrived on time, scoped out the job... and even suggested we keep the wiring for future use for a light inside the new shed.

We live in a new world, and more than ever I appreciate professionalism and a company that wants my business. G&R did a great job, and I will certainly use them again when the need arises.

Ganesh came almost instantly and fixed a broken light switch in my bathroom. He was very efficient, knowledgeable and professional. He fixed the broken light in about 20 minutes. This is THE BEST electrician that I've seen. I would definitely recommend this business.

Way overpriced. Have a set price and don't take anything more.

They were very dishonest with pricing -- initial troubleshooting was over $200, then added cost to fix -- I asked for free estimate, got trapped using them -- very expensive

The issue was a light fixture with a broken ballast. I wanted the ballast to be bypassed and to use LED lighting instead. I had provided the lighting and the materials required. I put out a request and they were one of the first to respond. They indicated that they would come the next day and look at the situation and provide an estimate.

They showed up on time, and went straight to work. In retrospect, that is not what should have happened. They quickly and efficiently installed the light and it worked perfectly, but I had not gotten an estimate so I was not quite sure what I was going to end up paying. They were notably higher than an estimate that I had received (which included providing materials - which I provided) but they had done the work, so I did not feel it appropriate to haggle.

In the end, though, they did great work and even cleaned up after they were done.

Ajay from G & R completed a job for me yesterday. He was professional and

accommodating. I had a new dishwasher installed that was sticking out

considerably due to the wiring behind it. He relocated the electrical box

and wiring. I am completely pleased with the job that was done.

Would definitely use them again.

I was really impressed with this company.
We decided to hold off from doing the work, but when we do it this is who I'll be contacting, as well as for other electrical issues.
I gave them 4 stars because we did not have the work done, but I'm pretty certain they will get 5 stars when we are able to have the job completed.

Y'all have to book these amazing electricians. Ganesh was super professional and quoted us a fair competitive price when he came to scope out our job. He was very responsive and got us all the info needed quickly for us to book the work. Then a couple days later, he sent Ajay and Trevon to our home to replace our two pendant lights. They finished the job in half the time estimated. Actually they finished in under an hour! They also cleaned up and swept. Such nice professionals to have in our home and we couldn't be happier with their work.

I went on Angi to find someone to install a ground fault outlet, as it didn't work when I installed it. Ganesh called at 3:00 to say they had a guy, Omish, in Manhattan that day, and he would be coming that afternoon. At 3:43 he was at the front door of the building, and called to ask what apartment we were in. He was very pleasant, and unscrewed the wires to the outlet box, replaced them with wires he had with him, installed the outlet box that I had purchased, and was done in 15 minutes. He did not give me an estimate before he did the work. He computed the cost, and told me it would be $336.00 if I paid in cash, because there would be no tax, and if I paid with a credit card, he would have to add tax and a 5% surcharge for the credit card. At 4:09, I was at the ATM around the corner, getting cash to pay him --$340.00 because he didn't have any change. He said he would email me the receipt. He did not. I called the office twice over the week to request a receipt. It never came, and I felt I was ripped off.

Scheduled an estimate and they were supposed to come within a specific timeframe, text before coming. No call, no show, no follow up.

Jian Z.

I called to ask for estimate and ask if estimate would be free. Guy on phone assured it was free. When technician came to apartment to check what is needed, he charged $250 for the diagnostic work. That is a bait and switch. I was promised a free written estimate, none of it was given.

Andrew L.

02/03/2021 12:00:00 SA

Took forever to schedule an appointment. Wish I took that as a sign. The guy who showed up was knowledgeable but never came back with an estimate as promised. Also, followed up but ignored my messages. I don't have a lot of time in my schedule so you wasted 1.5 hour that could've been used elsewhere. Thank you. Only giving an extra star because your colleague seemed knowledgeable, otherwise I would've given it one.

The job was relatively simple, upgrading an apartment's light switches to smart switches. But the YouTube tutorials didn't match up to what I saw when I opened up the light switch myself, so I knew I had better get a professional.

G & R were exactly what I was looking for. Importantly, they were happy to arrange everything over email (no phone calls required!). Ganesh showed up to do an estimate, and quoted a price a good bit lower than some of the other places I had been in contact with. We went ahead and did the job that day, and it was quick and easy.

Ganesh's confidence and knowledge impressed me, and he was friendly and willing to answer questions and work through minor things that came up (e.g. checking different bulbs we had to make sure they were compatible with the smart switches). He also made sure to tidy the space afterward, packing up all the leftover pieces and vacuuming the drywall residue.

Although my electrical needs are minor, as a simple apartment-renter, I plan to work with G & R for any future projects that come up. I highly recommend them to anyone else in a similar situation.

Thank you G&R for your exceptional service and work performed. After doing business with G&R I feel so much more at peace now as a first time home owner knowing I that have master electricians in my corner for whatever electrical needs I might have. You will not be disappointed hiring this company.

This is the second time I hired this company.
I am especially fond of Omesh, who is very
personable. He interacted well with my other
contractors, at times even lending a helping
hand. He is a hard worker. He updated my
ancient electrical service and it passed the
inspection with flying colors. In addition to
that, he was very kind to my dog. I'd hire
this company again, without question. They
have a very high quality of work.

I'm really happy with the work and expertise that I got from Omesh who came to upgrade my outlet. Very professional and knowledgeable. Also knows the code (or regulation) for proper outlets to install which was beneficial and made me comfortable that he was doing the right thing. He explained thoroughly why I needed the GFCI in a comprehensive manner. Before he left he also tested the sockets to ensure proper functionality. Finally, he was friendly and timely. All this during the pandemic/quarantine.

Kate L.

6/26/2020

Very friendly and accommodating. I had to call and reschedule a few times and it was no problem at all. When Ajay came to install two ceiling fans, he was prepared with a mask and booties. He was very professional and kind. Ajay made sure that we knew what all of our options were and explained when he needed in an informative and clear way. Thank you! We will highly recommend Ajay and G&R Electrical.

Incredibly overpriced. Do your research before hiring. I did. Found places charging 1/4 of what they wanted for the same repairs.

The other reviews must be faked because there is no way in hell their estimates are reasonable. If you don't believe me, research prices.

G & R provided high-quality customer service coupled with professional work. Omesh and Jeffrey recently completed a few projects--including installing new receptacles and a circuit box and grounding the house--at my home. My husband and I were quite pleased with how our inquiries were answered in a respectful, patient manner and how the work was completed in a timely fashion.

In addition to their professionalism, Omesh and Jeffrey were amiable; in my opinion, this quality is of supreme importance as customers have to feel comfortable asking questions about their own homes. G & R allows for that experience. The electricians also cleaned up and did not leave a mess in our house; for example, after unwrapping the new receptacles for the kitchen, they threw out the bags instead of leaving them on the counters. We would certainly use G &R again.

G & R are as excellent as all of the reviews here claim. They are skilled electricians, they are friendly, accommodating and they are honest. My interactions with the receptionist, Ray, and Omesh were all positive and I felt like I was well taken care of. A++ customer serivce from everyone. Ray installed an LED in my kitchen. After he arrived, we noticed my mounting kit was broken, so Ray said he didn't want me to be without light. He told me if I went out and got a replacement light, he'd go to his next appointment and return to install the new piece during the same day. He returned a couple of hours later, put the light in easily and cleaned up the debris in the kitchen. I was honestly very afraid to blindly pick an electrician online for fear of being ripped off, but I turned out having the best customer service experience I've ever had. Thank you!

Had to get electrical work done in order to replace my very old washer and dryer units. Ajay was considerate and seemed to now what he was doing. 5-star experience overall but minus one star because although he came in with a face mask, it was worn on his chin most of the time exposing nose and mouth.

Joseph R.

Highly recommend this company. Ganesh was incredibly knowledgeable, on time, and efficient. After diagnosing the problem he was able to quickly get the work done and make safety recommendations on a number of issues I had on my property. After the work was done I contacted them again to do a separate job where he sent two team members to complete. They completed the job timely and cleanly and I will be continuing to reach out to them with additional jobs.

What a great job! I am so happy with the work that Ray Lall completed. He arrived early and replaced three light fixtures neatly and meticulously. Filled in an open area around one fixture, removed rust stains from the tile around another, and polished the chrome on all three fixtures after each installation. He was very professional and friendly. I highly recommended Ray and G & R Electrical.

G & R Electrical Contractors immediately impressed me as I called Mr. Ganesh that late evening for estimates to upgrade my electrical panel. After their reasonable estimate was provided. The electricians Omesh and AJ worked flawlessly together that early morning into the mid afternoon. They were highly motivated and worked in unison. Omesh answered every question I had. The electricians troubleshooted and provided vital insights regarding my home's electricity. I would high recommend G & R for any electrical task. Thank you, gentleman!

I need a complete electrical upgrade in my home and a 220V line installed for an electric stove. One of the owners of G & R responded to my call promptly, was very engaging and seemed knowledgeable. He drew up a diagram, took photos, and explained the process we'd have to go through with Con Ed. We even discussed future work that he could do for us. He promised to send me an estimate within a day.....3 weeks later, I still haven't heard from him. I called for the first week and got no answer and his vm was full. The second week I continued to call and was able to leave a vm. I was ready to give him a deposit, but now it's back to searching for an electrician.....VERY disappointing.

The electricians at G&R are the best of the best. Not only did they quote me less than other electricians, they were able to accommodate my busy schedule and even arrived early! Their work was neat, they cleaned up after themselves, and they didn't try to upsell me on other services. I also appreciated that they checked in a few days later to make sure I was happy with their work and had no further questions.
Women, unfortunately, have to worry about being bamboozled when it comes to services like this, but I really felt respected by Ganesh and not belittled for knowing nothing about electrical work. I definitely recommend them to others who need electrical services. Two thumbs up!

All of the outlets went out in my basement . I called these guys and they sent someone out in less than an hour. They work hard to fix the problem in a reasonable amount of time for a reasonable price. They were awesome and I am so glad I found them!

I hired G & R electrical over the summer to install recessed lighting in my 2 BR condo. Ganish came over for an estimate on the same day I called him. He gave me a reasonable estimate. Ganish and his crew showed up early and got to work from minute one. I had a timely deadline and he accommodated by bringing more men to help out. True professional. Highly recommended.

G&R Electrical provided good service for a power outage in one of the rooms in the house that was not turning back on by tripping the circuit breaker. He was pretty much on time and called before arriving. He was able to identify the problem which was caused by an improper installation of a fixture in another room causing the complete power outage in another room. He corrected the error and the power was restored to the room. You can expect to spend a minimum of $200+. I can't say if the cost for the service was good nor bad, because he was the first person to come and evaluate the problem. When it's all said and done the problem was resolved without having to call person after person to correct the issue. He provided a receipt for services rendered. I would give this company a call if you have some electrical issues that's difficult to resolve after taking some obvious troubleshooting measures.

Omesh was very thoughtful, respectful and skilled and solved our electrical problem quickly and effectively. He also didn't overcharge like other electricians have in the past. I highly recommend him.

Wow--the technicians from G&R completely blew me away with their punctuality, professionalism and knowledge of their work. What I thought would be such an electrical headache turned out to be taken off my shoulders and fixed in a breeze. I recommend this company to anyone who's looking for electrical work done and has been burned by unprofessional, unreliable companies in the past. They came into my home, at the time they specified, with covers on their shoes (a pet peeve of mine is when service providers stomp around in my shoe-free home) and provided me with a clear and concise work estimate. They didn't just hand me a piece of paper and leave me to decipher it myself, but took the time to explain what needed to be done and WHY, and what materials and time it would entail. I could tell that safety was their number one priority throughout. As a mom of two little ones, I appreciated the sense of care and caution. When all was said and done, the owner himself called me a few days later and asked if I had any further questions or issues. I had none, and appreciated that extra touch. Kudos, G&R, I have already recommended you guys to my friends, family and coworkers, and you have a repeat customer right here for life!
