John was very responsive. He returned my call quickly. He was also responsive communicating via text. John arrived on time for the job. While here, he was respectful, knowledgeable and thorough. We would definitely use John again if needed and recommend him to others for a job well done. Thanks John!

John was such a professional. He upgraded my service to 200 amps and everything came out great. I would recommend him and his team to anyone looking for a great, qualified and professional electrical experience.

Fantastic experience with John and his team. Right from the beginning of the process: John was very responsive in taking calls and talking through options. His team did great work, on short notice, and at a reasonable price. He took the stress out of what can otherwise be a very stressful process. Thank you!

John definitely took care of my needs for electrical work needed for my garage. They were very detail oriented and made sure my neighbors thought they were very considerate.

I cannot recommend John and JEM enough. My partner and I had some serious problems with a ceiling light- we had tried to replace it with a ceiling fan only to find out that our electric is from before 1960s. There were no ground wires and our previous electrician snapped a wire trying to figure out what was going on and then created a quick fix that shorted out when there were power surges across nyc due to a storm. We had no power in our kitchen and a possible fire hazard on our hands.

John was quick to respond, assess the damage in the pictures and give us a quote that was an extremely reasonable price! He'd worked with old buildings before so the job took no time at all, plus since we're renters he wrote up an invoice for the work as well as an assessment of future work that the light needs, so that we could charge it to our landlord and he could follow up with the rest of the work. So smooth and easy! And he was organized, on time and had every tool possible for the job. Seriously, if you need an electrician I don't think you can find a better one x

Great service, came and fixed a light in the ceiling, explained to me as a home owner things to watch out for and also just the nature of older houses/ electrical wiring etc. Finished and installed a new light within an hour. Good pricing and prompt with time.

Had a power outage and a bunch of lights and outlet wouldn't come back on after resetting the breaker. Submitted a request and John offered to stop by even near midnight to take a look. He was super friendly and professional. Came here promptly at the time he mentioned.

Explaining along the way the issues and possible causes. Unfortunately this wasn't very straight forward due to new and old wiring in my 1920s house. It was definitely a head scratcher but it appears that there's some bad wiring within the walls after quite of bit of troubleshooting. He was able to offer a solution that didn't require having to tear down walls looking for the fault and ran a new circuit.

It was done perfectly and he even left extra slack in the wiring in case I ever do another renovation so that the lines don't need to be done again. He cleaned up after himself once done. Overall A+++ service and would definitely recommend. He's got a customer for life. I would surely call him if I ever redo my entire electrical for my house or need electrical service on my other property. You can't go wrong. Good and very fair prices on top of the excellent work!!

I'm very happy all my lights and outlets are working again! :)

Had excellent experience with JEM electrician. Nick had to do some troubleshooting to determine why one kitchen light fixture was not working. I thought it was paddle switch which he replaced but he tracked it down to one faulty wire inside ceiling beneath the fixture. Took him less than a minute to repair. Nick was very nice, professional and definitely efficient. Because I'm a senior citizen, the owner, John, gave me a break on the usual flat fee, something I appreciated. Nick arrived wearing a face mask (of course). All-in-all, I would totally recommend using JEM for any future work.

John was great!! He got back to me right away and two separate jobs were done before I knew it. We will definitely be calling him again. You will not be disappointed.

Great experience! Got a quote from John in minutes that was a bit lower than the rest. He came by the next day and installed two lights quickly and safely. I had sent him the links to the fixture and he had looked them up online the day before so he would know what to expect. Very communicative throughout - he let me know way in advance he was running a bit behind, but then didn't end up being late at all. And he didn't mind explaining every step in the process so I could learn a little bit. Highly recommended.

We bought our house and needed serious rewiring and recessed lights installation work done. John came and listened to my concerns and needs. He provided me the quote and same evening, sent me the list of materials he would require to complete the job. After delivery of materials, John was quick to install the lights and begin the rewiring work.
Our plan was to install a multitude of 3 switches, create separate lighting zones, as well as other ad-hoc ideas.
John was always willing accommodate and was able to complete the job accurately. I also want to commend him on his communication skills and quick responses at any time of day.
Will definitely turn to him for our electrical needs.

John was quick to respond with our communications and easy to set up time with. He fixed our issue quickly while thoroughly explaining the background of why the problem was happening and why the fix would be helpful. We'd definitely work with John again for future electrical needs.

I just moved to the area and am so glad to have connected with John. He was super quick to get back to my request and was able to fit me in on the weekend. He and Mikey came prepared to work, and my light install ended up being a bigger project than we thought in an older co-op building. Putting a light where there was none is no joke. They ended up having to come back the next day to finish up, and I couldn't be happier. They were a pleasure to have in my space, did lovely work, and John says he would even come back to do touch ups on the plaster work. I'll definitely be calling them for future projects (easier ones I promise!).

John is very professional and experienced. I had a few lights that were not working and he was able to assess the problem which was an easy fix. I inquired about fixing these lights with another company and they automatically told me that I would need to tear down my ceiling and have everything rewired (before they came to assess the problem in person). John also installed my chandelier. Great guy, he gets the job done!

Will definitely use JEM lighting for future work. Fast communication and great service. John helped me fix one of my sconces that went out and even helped me fix the sconce's switch which I thought would never work again (original 1970s sconce).

John picked up and installed two dimmer switches in my apartment according to my specifications.
He also had the foresight to identify my current lightbulbs as non-dimmable and brought me all new bulbs.
John is extremely efficient and knowledgeable, 100% would recommend.

We are a property management company so we not only know the technical side of things to make sure that the work gets done properly but also we want the best. We demand that the contractor is responsive, diligent, technically competent, and can respond to difficult problems. John from JEM Lighting really impressed me with his work.

Don't let the name of the company fool you. I had originally thought that this was simply a lighting specialist but he's an electrician by trade. He can figure out all the electrical needs that you have. He did for us.

I can tell you that there are a lot of terrible contractors out there. When there presented with even a slight difficulty that's not normal, they don't know how to react. But John, quickly pivoted and did the work quickly and at a fair price.

With John, the owner, you'll really find someone who's fair and won't take advantage of you.

I needed help with removing an old light fixture from a vaulted 13-foot ceiling, and then with installing a new, hanging chandelier in the same place. After asking around without much luck, receiving difficult responses, or what I considered to be outrageous estimates, I connected with Jem Lighting and Led Specialist on Yelp. John was super responsive and accommodating of my work schedule, gave what I considered to be a fair estimate for the job, and had no issue with the higher ceiling. Better still, we were able to schedule his visit for the following afternoon. As our conversation on Yelp suggested would be the case, John and his crew arrived on time, were super nice, professional and experienced. They efficiently and carefully removed the old light, installed the new one, were mindful of the apartment at all times, and helped with installing all of the bulbs once finished. Afterwards, they even asked about a broom and helped sweep up the floor. Further still, after discussing a potential dimmer switch and the height of the chandelier, John offered to stop by within the week to assist with either additional task, if necessary. Bottom line, if I have another lighting or electrical issue, I'll be reaching out to John and Jem Lighting and Led Specialist.
