Riviera Electric

I'd be hard pressed to find one negative critique about Riviera Electric.  These guys were so attentive and responsive (almost scary!).  
1) Experience - Skilled approach when taking on the job
2) Punctual - their van pulled up 5 minutes before each appointment
3) Price - they were reasonable priced relative to high quality of service
4) Professional- Josh/Roberto walked me through each detail of the job before it started, so there were absolutely no surprises and no additional costs.

I would never consider using anyone else.  These guys are GOLD!

Initially, I was happy with the service received. They said their work is guaranteed so anything that's not completely fixed the first time, they'll come back and make it work. But, they also have a minimum charge to come out so we thought of other projects to justify the cost to come again when some things still weren't working. The simple stuff they can can handle. The more complex electrical problems, they did not fix or they created more problems. We had friendly email exchanges and got along with the guys that came out. Then they ghosted us leaving problems they created and issues we paid for still not working. No return email, no return call, took our money left stuff broken.

Best electricians, hands down bar none.

Riviera Electric was the first company we hired that was highly knowledgeable professional and efficient through and through. Josh, Robert and MARCELO are all incredible and accommodating, they've fixed, reworked updates, and corrected everything Electrical in my house.  

I've been through the ringer during my 8 years of extremely demolition/renovation of my Brownstone here in bedstuy. My first master electrician died suddenly on the job, the pseudo contractor was a criminal by nature, screwed up the entire job. Requiring complete repair of everything.

I would be lost without riviera Electric.

My new go to electricians ! I recently bought a Tesla and was looking to install a Tesla wall charger. While Tesla lists recommended electricians on their site most don't service brooklyn. The ones that do have been unresponsive. I went on yelp found Riviera Electric. The experience from start to finish was professional. I sent them some photos of the job they gave me an estimate, scheduled me 2 days out. They arrived on time, installed the charger with minimum damage and patched up all the walls after they finished. Highly recommend for EV installs or any electrical needs.

Josh was great at coordinating, while Roberto and his team did an excellent job fixing our outlets. They were in and out in less than 20 mintues. Super impressed and will certainly reach out again for future electrical works.

We just used Riviera for a 2-day job to install ceiling lights and fix a bunch of minor electrical inconveniences around our house, and we would highly recommend them. The scope include installing lights in 4 rooms (following their recommendations on spacing/placement), installing a ceiling fan, rewiring an existing ceiling fan, changing 5 outlets from being controlled by light switches to being always-powered, and they were even able to accommodate a last-minute addition to replace ceiling lights in our living room with matching fixtures to the rest of the rooms. All at a very reasonable price!

The electrician team (led by Robert) was professional, prompt, and worked quickly and efficiently to get all the work done with minimal interruption to us as we worked from home. They patched all the drywall holes required to do the job and cleaned up the dust very thoroughly. Everything is working perfectly and they have a guarantee on their work.

The management team was clear and prompts with their quotes and scheduling the work. Would highly recommend using Riviera for your jobs!

These folks are top notch and work at very fair rates. I had an intermittent buzz coming from my main electrical panel box. Roberto arrived in less than half an hour and diagnosed the problem as an overloaded box. Nerissa in the office efficiently arranged for a time that same week. They arrived at 8 am on the dot as scheduled, did the work quickly and neatly, swept up and were out the door.  In a city filled with unreliable and sloppy contractors, Riviera Electric is a breath of fresh air.

Finding a reliable business in construction, plumbing and electricians are hard to find. Its rare I find a service that I would continue a further relationship, and now that company is Riveria.

As with most NYC homes, mine was filled with all kinds of terrors behind my walls that ended up shorting out the entire 3rd floor. I called Riveria and Josh (Owner) got back to me and set up an appointment to send their guys to check out my issue. Suffice it to say, my home was not up to the quality standards that are required in this day and age. After a consultation, and an estimate that was reasonable within this scope of work, I had their team come and make the repairs.

The family owned company are extremely busy, but were able to slide me in when someone had cancelled. The patience was definitely worth it as they fixed my power problems within several hours timeframe. In addition, they were able to diagnose some further issues that needed my attention, but without pressure. They made sure I understood what needed to be done and offered advice on how to tackle my problems and possible problems in the future.

These guys and girls went beyond my expectations and I'm glad to see that quality and honest work still exists.

As I said, they're a busy team, so if you have the time to wait or are lucky enough to get in a closer work date, then its definitely worth it. Remember, you get what you pay for. I've learned my lesson finding cheap trade labor to cut corners ending with bad results. Do it right the first time.

John and his family is wonderful to work with.  We recently bought a home and needed to find trusted electricians and we have definitely found them.  Here is what made Riviera Electric great:

1. Josh is always responsive and willing to answer any questions we have (which we have a lot of as new homeowners).
2. Everything is professional, from the estimation process to the actual work to the follow up.
3. They're always able to provide detailed explanation on what / why things are happening as well as guidance around next steps, even if it means less business for them.

It's clear from my interactions with Josh and Robert that they are not looking for the next job, but a long-term relationship with their customers, and for that, I couldn't be happier about finding them.

Very professional and qualified.
i had a small job, but was tricky. Robert came to inspect. Analyzed and came up with the best practical solution.  Job complete. Prompt, clean and very courteous service.
I will be using them again. Will refer them to my friends.

I could not have had a better experience with Riviera, from start to finish. I needed some help after a minor electrical disaster, and they came promptly and identified and fixed the issues so quickly! Josh was responsive, honest, and genuinely caring...obviously a good person in addition to his technical knowledge.

Prices were very reasonable, and communication with the office was great--they kept me updated by text message as to when the crew would arrive.

I will certainly use Riviera again for any other electrical needs and would highly recommend them based on my experience. Thank you, Josh and Roberto!

We're first-time homeowners. Before we even closed on our gut renovated co-op we knew we were going to need some additional electrical work done. Ceiling fan installation -- of which we needed five -- is standard fare, and they did great. The thing that kept me up at night was the installation of higher powered wiring for the washer/dryer closet (30 amps). In a large apartment (a combination of two separate units) where the breaker box is quite a long distance to the laundry closet, I was concerned about how much of the ceiling would need to be broken into to get the job done.

Josh -- who kept me at ease from assessment to job completion -- brought in the A-Team (minus Mr. T)! The three of them installed the ceiling fans and ran the new wiring in under five hours. But what was truly astounding was the manner in which they ran the wiring. All the breaking was done in only two closets, and the plaster job to cover it was phenomenal. Frankly, unless you go squirreling around in our son's closet, you won't know that anything was done at all. We'll be putting a fresh coat of paint down tomorrow; at which point, there will be no perceivable difference.

I can't speak highly enough of Josh's professionalism and his team's speed. We bought a beautiful home, and I was worried about tearing into our brand new ceilings, or god-forbid messing up our crown molding. But nothing was touched. All the work was done between two closets on opposite ends of the apartment.

I'm convinced Josh and his crew are magicians, and I would recommend them over and over again. If you're even considering Riviera Electric, just do yourself a favor and drop all other options. We've found our electrician for life, and I know you will too if you give them a call.

I don't have the words to explain how amazing my experience was with Riveria Electric! They literally saved my life!

My husband and I had been hearing a strange electrical sound in the wall of our home for quite some time. The issue escalated once the breaker kept tripping our refrigerator. We called a local electrician who couldn't figure it out. We called 2 more electricians and no one responded. We almost gave up, but Riviera Electric had such great reviews so we decided to give them a call.

I explained the issue we were having and they deemed it an emergency. Despite their jam packed schedule that day, they squeezed us in. Within an hour they were at our home and quickly found a solution. The electrical sound was due to a lack of grounding in our home. It could have caused a fire!

Josh and his crew were friendly, extremely knowledgeable, patient, and all around life savers!

If you have any electrical issues in your home, you MUST call them! You won't be sorry.

Thank you so much for helping my family!

This company was fantastic. I wish all contractors could be this easy to schedule and work with. They cleaned up as they worked and were very efficient and thorough. Definitely deserve the 5 star rating!

I needed to install a dedicated line for my garbage disposal.  Josh came to make an assessment.  Gave us an estimate and also provided the Certificate of Insurance for our Board for approval.  He does get very busy but we agreed on a date for the work to be done.

2 workers showed up to do the wiring.  Josh showed up later with the plaster-er.  All the workers were very respectful of the place and very professional.  After they finished the work, they vacuumed everywhere and the plaster job was so good that it's barely noticeable that they dug into the ceiling.  

I highly recommend Riviera.  It's a family owned/operated business and they are all friendly, honest, good people.  While they were there, I asked if they could replace my garbage disposal and Josh took the model # info and emailed me afterwards that it is a simple job to replace and that I could do it myself to save money.  I really appreciate his honesty.

What a wonderful family-run company. Everyone I spoke to on the phone and everyone on the team of three that showed up was friendly, courteous and helpful. The team was able to diagnose and fix the broken circuit within a half hour or so, also fixing a coax line next to it that wasn't working, and reworked the circuit breakers so that A/C in the bedroom or living room wouldn't create problems. Price was quite reasonable. I have some bigger work planned and I will definitely call Riviera when I'm ready to start on that project.

I hired Rivera Electric to do a rewiring of my house in Bayridge. The family business is exactly that and wonderful to deal with. Josh and Roberto along with the workers were professional and so easy to get along with. The father who is in the business forever even plays a major part making sure everything is up to his exceptionally high standards. The workers were all caring and neat.
The best part was I had no worries they even deal with all the required paperwork for the job site they made it all seem so simple.
After they were completely done they even have their own plasterer that did an amazing job.
I would highly recommend the company for any small or large job.

Thanks again for a great job

My wife found Riviera Electric on-line, from the moment Josh entered our home before an estimate was e-mailed, there was no doubt we were going to use his company for the electric work in our home.  

Josh and his team are professional in every sense of the word. They are reliable, courteous, and dedicated at their craft. We installed hit hat lights in our living room and master bedroom, in addition to a ceiling fan, exterior fixture two chandeliers and upgraded circuit breakers. Josh and his team were not on time but arrived to our home earlier than expected. They gave us a courtesy call to expect them and from the moment they began until they left which was the early evening, they were a pleasure to be around. They put up with my two  dogs barking at them for the first two hours, by the end of the day even the dogs warmed up to them.

If you are looking for an electrician who is prompt, fair priced and GREAT at his craft go no further than Josh and his team at  Riviera Electric. They will be handling all my families electrical needs going forward. They made my wife and I feel like Family, I cannot recommend them enough. Marcelo, George and Chelsea you were all incredible. Thank you.

Working with Josh and his crew of expert electricians has been a highlight in a long home renovation. Josh is friendly, responsive, and knows what he's talking about when it comes to updating electrical systems on a budget. I appreciate all his advice, and patiently answering all my questions.

Super friendly and most of all- HELPFUL.

I recently called Riviera Electric to get a price-quote for a tech to come out and inspect my electric meter for tampering/re-wiring. I spoke to Josh and I basically told him that I suspected my neighbor was stealing my electricity.

He proceeded to give me a (FREE) tip on how to run a quick check on my own and save myself the business of hiring a tech and saving some $$$. This is freaking awesome, I tell ya! That says to me that this company is SUPER HONEST and not into ringing the register for every single thing. That also tells me that their technicians are knowledgeable, confident and have the client's best interest at heart. TOP NOTCH!

I trust them so much and haven't even signed up for any services yet. I'm definitely bookmarking this company for future use! Try them out, my gut feeling is you won't be disappointed :)

We have used Riviera Electric for all of our electrical work. They are always super responsive, professional, and do excellent work! We would recommend anyone use them. They have essentially updated all of the electrical in our home and have come to the rescue with a few electrical emergencies. Josh, Roberto, and Nerissa are a pleasure to work with and their team of electricians are great.

Second time I'm reviewing Riviera Electric because these guys are amazing!! This time I needed a laundry closet voltage changed from 110 to 220v and after getting burned by a private contractor I contacted Riviera Electric on short notice ( I called Josh on Saturday and he was able to come by with his coworker on Wednesday).

They adhered to my building's regulations for alterations (getting the COI and agreement signed and sent on time), were on time (even called 15 min before they showed up), and did an excellent job (the electrician even offered to help me sweep the work area and to hook up the washer dryer that Home Depot delivered but didn't push in/hook up). The washer /dryer work great.

Highly recommended. Professional, friendly, reliable, and fair in pricing.
Next time I need electric work done, I won't second guess myself and won't hesitate to use Riviera again.

These guys are amazing. I had 2 other estimates. When I met with Josh, he explained things in a way that made me understand and I knew the company is top notch. Let me tell you what I got with my apartment rewire: they protected everything with plastic, they plastered all openings (professionally, looks better than the untouched wall), they thought of the design for me and gave me suggestions based on their experience with similar layouts. I got so much more than others offered and I didn't know they would do all of this. The crew is happy and always cheerful. I have learned the value of a family owned business. They actually care about every customer. I can't recommend them enough and will be telling everyone about them. Thank You!!!

I reached out to Riviera after another electrician was delaying for weeks.  I needed a 220 line run from my panel so that I could install a real washer/dryer in my apartment.  All the quotes I received were more and up to 3x more the cost.   Those quotes were without any patchwork to drywall and the install.

Riviera fit me in, to match other work (bathroom remodel) schedules, within a few days and we planned their arrival.   To make sure their quote was correct, they even dropped by a day before to scope out the job.  With that meeting I had enough trust in them to leave them my keys to do the job while I was at work.

I came home and the job was perfect.   Everything was patched up, no mess and perfectly installed line to specs needed.   It was top 3 (and possibly best) interaction I have had on contractor type work in my life.  I don't say this lightly.   I give them a 10 out of 10.

My other calls to other companies were shady.  One company actually told me that I would have to pay them a few hundred dollars when they arrived. Just to walk in my door, I had to pay them.  No way was I doing that.   Riviera has great reviews because they are legit.  I am a real person.  I don't write many reviews unless they are stellar.  

I would recommend these guys to every person.  Net promoter 10 if you know what this means.

Riviera Electric was excellent! We needed an new outlet installed in our bathroom and another outlet in our living room was not working. They were excellent at communicating by phone and text, providing me with an accurate and reasonable quote, and completing the work within a few days of me initially reaching out to them. They installed the new outlet in the bathroom swiftly and with absolutely no damage to our walls. They even asked for a dustpan and broom to clean up after themselves. We have more electrical work to do in our apartment in the future and will definitely be calling Riviera Electric!

Great business this guy has. My wife set up the whole job and she told me how great he was to work with. I had to work and she usually feels uncomfortable home alone with service men but she told me with these guys she was very comfortable while he was working in my house. Very polite, kind and they do great work. We had 4 chandeliers we needed installed. They gave a good price, came exactly when they said they would and when the guy finished the job, the owner called us right after to make sure everything was great. It's hard to find a good reliable business these days and this company is exactly that. I foresee many good reviews in the future for this bunch cause they truly know how to run a business.

Had a few issues around my house, Josh and his team took care of them quickly without any hassle. Communication was excellent, prices were reasonable, the work was done properly. I would definitely recommend.

Josh and his Dad give the best service to our building. Can't ask for better electricians and their work is always excellent. Thank you, Maureen

The best. I will definitely be getting more work done in my apartment by Riviera Electric. Josh was so helpful in guiding me through the different options for the work. He came over twice to check things out before giving me a full quote, and looked into everything very thoroughly. He  was super helpful in finding cost effective solutions and helping me stay within my budget, and I ended up spending less than I expected. I had one outlet moved, another one fixed, some fans replaced, and some recessed lights installed with dimmers. Josh advised me on the right parts to buy in order to save money. When it came to he work his team was awesome and very fast, and his plasterer made it look like nothing ever happened. Riviera Electric really take care of their neighbors, I recommend them highly.

Josh was an amazing electrician! He was extremely patient and gave me different ideas to light up my apartment. We eventually settled on getting sconces per his recommendation and our apartment has had amazing light ever since! He is also extremely responsive to our calls and is very flexible around my schedule, which isn't always the case with contractors. I highly recommend him and I will always use him for future electrical needs.

Hands down the best electric company in Brooklyn!!!!!! I recently had a fire last summer and contacted them they were busy and we had to wait a month for them to come and rewire the whole apartment but it was worth it !!! They did a fantastic job ! They even added smoke detectors on our ceiling . The mess that was made with all the dust they cleaned it up . There very trustworthy I was able to leave my apartment keys with them since I had to do errands . That's how comfortable I was only with them though!!! Very friendly and professional . They worked all day for a couple of weeks . I definitely recommend them !!!!! That have so much respect for their customers.

We needed a lot of electrical work done. Josh came to the house on time for an estimate, and I told him all of the problems we were having with our 1926 built house.  He walked around to every room and made recommendations that made sense. He gave me a very good price. We made an appointment to have the work done. The team arrived on time, and got right to work. They covered up the furniture, ran all the lines inside the walls, and then repaired the holes like pros.
They didn't nickel and dime us over small stuff, and did an amazing job. I would definitely use them again for any electrical work, they are great. Riviera Electric is a great company. Thanks to Josh, Roberto, Marcello, Rafael ( and there was one more name I can't remember....sorry!)

It was great working with the Riviera team. I was looking to install a ceiling fan--after a few back and forths and sending some pictures around where I wanted it mounted, I got a competitive quote right away. After we scheduled the job, they came right on time and were professional, courteous, and skilled in their work: hooking up a new fixture, mounting the actual fan, and patching the holes in the end. Highly recommend!

Josh and his Riviera team are fantastic and professional.  I wish I could give them 100 stars!  I have two condos and I have used them three times so far and I cannot recommend them highly enough.   He is fair, knowledgable, and fast.    The communication is also always fantastic and everyone at his office is friendly and a pleasure to work with.  He has switched a socket for a new dryer, resolved an electrical issue with my boiler and fixed a circuit that was constantly shorting in my condo hallway. They go out of their way to communicate well and always call back.   They do fast, efficient work and I trust his expertise above all other electricians that I have ever hired.   If you hire them, you will not be disappointed.  Thank you Josh and team!

Beware of Riviera Electrical .

I contacted Josh based on the reviews that I read on Yelp. Josh took a bit getting back to me but when he did he repeatedly said he was very very busy and then promptly made an appointment to come over the next day and troubleshoot the problem. Josh is personable, and very chatty. He shared many personal stories while investigating why the lights were not working.

He checked the panel box and this is where it gets interesting. There was one panel switch that was mismatched and he said it was a dummy switch....and he then he removed the connection from one breaker and wired it to this. I didn't notice when he removed the existing breaker that he had disconnected it and then placed it on the panel box.

When he closed the panel box he went back upstairs to look at another location where I had no lights. He must have been at my house for TWO HOURS chatting and checking a total of 4 light switches. He then tells me he will have to come back to trouble shoot and he will need to bring additional guys. I thought this was the troubleshooting, I said. He said he needed more men to check more lights and I would have to pay a troubleshooting fee without saying what that would be. This is the first red flag.

He again reminded me that he was so very very busy he couldn't even promise when the troubleshooting would take place. Josh promised to call and the following day he did just that and he said the issue was really simple and they needed to spend time turning off lights to isolate the problem. He would be there the next day but thankfully I had a scheduling conflict. We agreed to speak later regarding price. When he called later I told him the problem had worsened since he had been there and I had TWO additional lights that were not working. He said it sounded very serious and insisted that new lines would have to be run for $750.00, OR I could do a troubleshooting fee at $150.00 per hour. I told him that new lines wouldn't solve the problem and since he was so busy I would look for another electrician.

I hired someone the next day and they discovered that one line had been disconnected and connected to a dummy breaker . These guys found the breaker Josh had removed on the panel box and re-installed it and connected the wires to it. These were the lights that no longer worked after Josh's visit. These guys then checked the three lights which were the original problem and within 45 minutes, they were working. There was a simple problem and they fixed it for $200. They were professional, not chatty and got to work immediately upon arriving.

I caution anyone from hiring Riviera, and if you do watch him like a hawk and get several electricians to look at the problem.

Riviera is always a pleasure to work with. What really sets these guys apart is the quality of the work they do and the care they do it with. I can't recommend them enough.

They came to my house to install the range hood and fixed the bathroom switch. The price is reasonable and the serve is really good. They are very knowledge and patient and I highly recommend them. I am very happy with their work.

Plain and simple, Josh was awesome. I recently bought a dryer from a small appliance store (never again), and it doesn't work. Worst, the store refuse to take it back claiming it was my electrical wiring. Called up Josh at Riviera Electric and he automatically knew I needed an electrician to check my wiring and provide documentation that the electrical supports a normal working dryer. At first, he gave me free troubleshooting tips, which were helpful but didn't fix the problem so I still needed his services. Since this wasn't a life or death situation, I told him to stop by whenever he or his team was free this week. Josh's team came over the next day. Again, I told Josh no rush on that document, yet he sent it over within 2 hours after his team stopped by. I really couldn't have asked for better service. I called other electricians for their level of service and price, and by far Josh was more friendly, personable, understanding, priced less than market rate, and prioritizes your needs even if you didn't ask for it.

Seriously, if you need an electrician, Josh and Riviera Electric is who you are looking for. Guaranteed.

Honestly what a great experience.  Josh was great about correspondence, price and following up. The worker (I believe his name was Marcelo) was so professional, nice and really took his time to do a great job. It was a lot of work (5 fixtures) and not once did I feel like he was rushing to get out. I would definitely use them again.

Amazing service by amazing people!!  Josh is extremely helpful!  It was a pleasure doing business with him!  It's hard combination to find great people who care about what they do, are talented, caring, and trustworthy!  Consider yourself lucky if Riviera is in your neck of the woods and you need electrical work done! You won't be disappointed.

This is our second time using Roberto and his crew for electrical work in our apartment.  Each time we reached out to Josh and Roberto, we received a prompt response, and the work was scheduled right away.  They are friendly, honest, reasonably priced, provide quality work, and are neat.  Riviera even provides patching, so we are not left with holes in our walls and ceilings.  Today, Roberto started our job at 9:30a, and didn't leave until 7:30p, when the job was complete.  Thanks, guys!

Riviera Electric is great! We needed three pendant lights and one wall sconce replaced. Josh was very responsive and helpful - walked me through what type of fixtures would be compatible with our wiring. He even fit us into his schedule on the fly so we got our new lights up days before I thought he'd be able to send his guy. Marcelo arrived on time this morning, was very polite and professional - and was in and out within two hours. And the cost was, I think, very fair. Can't recommend them enough!

We used the services of Riviera Electric to upgrade the electric on a two story house we purchased in Windsor Terrace last year. The house was originally built in 1899 and the existing electric system was very old. My wife and I didn't want to gut the house, but knew the electric needed to be upgraded before we moved in. Josh and the Riviera crew were professional, easy to communicate with, flexible, and knowledgable. They did a great job snaking cables behind existing walls without making a huge mess -- upgrading the electric panels -- recommending fixtures -- and they even helped recommend a handyman who's services we used to do some of the non-electric work in the house. All of the work done by Riviera Electric was performed in a timely fashion. Josh happily and patiently continues to answer any questions I have related to electricity. I would happily recommend Riviera to anyone needing electrical work.

We put out several feelers looking for an electrician to install a chandelier in our living room with channeling in order to hide the wires.  We went with Riviera Electric Corp because of their honesty and quick response time, not to mention the great quote. Roberto and his team were incredibly professional, cordial and hard-working. Their work was precise and super thorough. Roberto even went above and beyond to get us the right dimmer switch so we can switch from incandescent to LED lights (which saves us money). They took great care to make sure our apartment was not covered in dust during the work and then they took the time to clean up afterwards. We felt very taken care of. I cannot recommend them highly enough.  Go with team Riviera!!!

Life -- and sanity -- saver!!!
I had a frightening experience very early one morning (AC blew up an outlet in the wall in a 100+ year old brownstone) and eventually found Riviera Electric via 5-star reviews on Yelp.  
When I called, Josh answered the phone immediately; and was warm, professional, reassuring and helpful.  I have an IT background, so I immediately appreciated his focused questions regarding debugging the source of the problem.  His crew was super busy and couldn't come to the house right away so he suggested I call at least one other professional, which I did but I decided I preferred to deal specifically with Riviera. As busy as he was, Josh was patient with me as I called him with follow up questions (which I tried to keep to a minimum, seeing how busy they were) and when I met him in person, Josh has that unique quality that you feel as if you've known and trusted him for years.
The plan he created was to upgrade the entire flat with separate, dedicated lines for the ACs, the fridge and the bathroom.  And since they were already coming, I threw in the installation of two chandeliers for good measure.  The crew (Robert, Jorge and Marcelo) were nothing short of professional, pleasant, respectful, efficient and FAST! Wow! And because of the foundation Josh already laid, I felt perfectly comfortable walking away for several hours and trusting them alone in the house; I never experienced a second of trepidation about that.
They did everything they said they would do; broke walls as they promised (and it wasn't half as ugly as I had braced myself for); got the job done; repaired and skim-coated the walls; cleaned up after themselves.
So essentially, Josh has laid down a foundation of stellar and professional leadership, and his crew follows in the same good footsteps.
Not that I would deliberately choose to have this experience, but over many years of dealing with so-called real estate and building services professionals in New York, I can categorically say that this experience was an unmitigated pleasure!

Can't say enough good about Riviera Electric.  They're a wonderful, family-owned business.  Beyond their complete professionalism, they stand out for their efforts to accommodate their customers.  I had a very short timeline to get electrical work done before moving in.  They were able to act quickly and move things around to complete the work.  They are thoughtful, courteous, knowledgeable, and reasonable in their prices.  Way to go, Riviera!

These guys were fantastic. Josh was easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions we had. We had to re do the entire kitchens electric, I thought it was going to be terrible to live through for two days, but Josh's team couldn't have made it easier! They did a great job cleaning up and even put the ceiling fan together! I would recommend them to anyone!

Riviera was great. Called to have a 250 30 amp line converted and extended 25 feet for an AC unit. They called back within a half hour, had a same day appointment due to another client canceling. They came in, gave me a fair quote, and once I agreed they started and completed the job in under three hours. Everyone was friendly and competent from Josh, to Roberto, to the workers. Excellent neighborhood family business.

Josh and Roberto are simply the best! They and their team did a great job on our house- covering every issue we needed addressed in a single day. This included installing dedicated air conditioner lines, installing light fixtures, adding and repairing receptacles as well as grounding and bonding. Professional, friendly, and impeccable about their work, this team answered all our questions and solved every challenge that was encountered during the job. All this and very reasonable cost guarantees that we will call Josh for any electrical work we need done in the future. Highly Recommended!

They just finished installing an outlet for my electric dryer as of writing this and I am pleased. Work was completed in an hour just in time for my online virtual class. Riviera was also kind enough to take a look at my boiler automatic feeder upgrade which needed some wiring. He was able to pinpoint the issue why the orginal feeder did not work and will definitely have them back when I embark on that project. Riviera is the best, pricing is good, they are licensed, give them a call today!!!

Great guys. Called them for a problem with my AC unit circuit breaker. Josh was very responsive, he came to my house and look at it, it turned out to be something very simple and he didn't charge me at all. Great guy I highly recommend to anyone.

They have skills, integrity, nice manners, and good communication skills. Count me a very satisfied repeat customer.

What else to say? If you need an experienced, qualified, efficient, thorough, trustworthy and NICE electrician to do electrical work in your home, Josh and his crew are the best bet for the job. We had a pretty in-depth electrical project in our apartment (and on our rooftop) in Brooklyn - including installing smart home Ring floodlight cams and outdoor GFI electrical outlets (snaking wiring through the walls to our roof). Josh came out and expertly assessed the situation (with a smile), provided a competitive quote, and then dispatched a skilled and enthusiastic team to perform the work.  They worked around our time constraints and specific requests to provide an EXCELLENT finished product in record time. They thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. To top it off, they are a family-run company. Everyone knows how hard it can be to find both competent and friendly service providers for your home. This company, from A to Z, does just that. The good reviews here on Yelp don't lie. Hopefully mine can contribute a small part to their stellar reputation as well. Thanks again guys!

It is a rare day I will take the time to write a review, but the service from Riviera Electric was so outstanding that I have to share my experience. We just purchased a two unit brownstone. Soon after we realized the electrical wiring done during a prior renovation did not allow for separate metering to the two units. Apparently, we had one ConEd meter and another meter that was not through ConEd (we had no clue why that was installed or its purpose) and there were also considerations of complying with regulations with respect to space constraints in the areas with the electrical boxes. Intimately familiar with the relevant regulations, Josh (the owner of Riviera Electric) was able to work out a solution that permitted the units to be separately metered. He obtained approval for his plan prior to doing the work and then personally oversaw all the necessary inspections through to completion.  Just to put this into perspective, we initially sent another company highly recommended on Yelp to inspect and provide a quote. This company did not even have a suggestion on how to fix our issues and merely noted we should just call ConEd, which we had already done. Josh figured out the issues immediately. He always returned my calls in a timely manner and he provided thorough responses to all my inquiries. For various reasons, it took us several weeks to even move forward- yet Josh never rushed us and he exhibited only a kind and patient demeanor throughout the entire process. He is very detail oriented and walked us through the entire process, informing us of every step so there were no surprises. Honestly, service like this is rare and I cannot recommend Josh and his company enough.

Although someone did respond to my contact email by telling me that I had an overload of electricity. I had left out my phone number so I had to send that requesting an appt. but 3 days after my second email have passed and no follow up. Luckily I found another reliable local electrician who resolved the problem which was a negative wire being dislocated from the overload of my space heater. Rivera seemed nice by email, but that's all I can say.

Great service!!! Family business! Quick service! Honest! Fair! Fast! Free estimate!!!!
