Best in New York NY

Away on vacation, pipes burst... a wonderful neighbor went to my home, turned off the main water value / firemen turned off circuit breakers... now what?
I called Ian (from Scotties Electric). He was unbelievable, immediately he found a Plumber ( i had called many with no luck)... Ian went to my home to meet the plumber who repaired the pipes, and Ian restored my electric, heat, etc... my home would have been seriously damaged had it not been for Ian.

These guys are at best handyman skill level, at worst putting lives at risk, conducting illegal not to code plumbing and electrical work. My wife and I hired them for filing NYC DOB plumbing permit, relocate kitchen plumbing and upgrade electrical in my east village co-op apartment.

Big mistake, they  didn't know that I have a decent level of electrical and structural engineering knowledge (studied in college) and once I saw the work, got very concerned, showed pics to my NYC registered architect that I had used last year and guess what? nothing to electrical code and terrible plumbing work not running pipes through the middle of joists as they had promised and thus compromised the structural beams (see attached email pic, redacted to protect personal info). Next, they tested my gas line, found leaks in basement, illegally turn off 2 gas meters, came up with a $91k estimate to fix the problem, and did not notify DOB and con-Edison for almost 1 week until they figured we are not going to give them more money. We got advice from a referenced licensed plumber and again guess what? totally illegal and dangerous acts. Now we are hiring a legitimate company to help us.  

I suspected neither of these guys (Ricardo or Dinesh) are properly trained, educated or licensed to handle anything more than simple handyman work that they probably learned while picking up small jobs.
I spent about 30 mins this morning researching their license numbers on DOB &DCA site and was shocked to find their GC license (621125) belongs to East Enders nyc inc, electric license (02938) belongs to some Joey elec't. Most concerning fact, the plumbing license (1504) belongs to Johnny Nanhu, the master plumber of Johnny P&H contrac inc who has a DOB violation record of fine and 2 year probation!!! (see attached pic) just unbelievable how all this information is hidden behind CN coterie which is just a registered cooperation (DOS ID 5034867) with no licenses and thus no legal liability which means their contracts are worth zero and will not hold up in a court. No wonder when I asked them to fill in the DCA contract template, they suddenly called me to come up with a new 'idea' to save us money and I never received the DCA contract since the template asks for a DCA home improvement contractor license number that they obviously don't have, what a scam!

Should have done my proper due diligence before hiring, just glad I did not hire them for a large scope of work and can easily supersede the permit to complete my renovation.

I never post reviews but this was so egregious that I felt a responsibility to alert the community. Please be careful before hiring for them for anything...even if its a simple handyman job.

Here's a direct message showing his true character. He yelled at my wife over the phone a while back when she asked him to honor a promo. Now he wants honest negative reviews stifled.

I have used Chodaba Electric for over a year now on many projects. Roman is always prompt, fixes the problem and takes the time to explain if anything unusual comes up with the project.

Easy and quick communication, great price, and great service. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs electrical work in their home. Overall super pleased!

They came on short notice to address an electrical concern on a work-in-progress renovation.  They addressed our concerns with the utmost professionalism, and worked with us to plan needed electrical work in a way that was minimally invasive and code-compliant.

They are super nice guys, smart, professional, and worth every penny. Highly recommend this father-son team!

Steve did a small project for me. He arrived on time, was clean, efficient and reasonably priced (exactly what he quoted).

When discussing the quote, he even offered an alternate solution to what I was requesting which could save me some bucks. I will definitely use Connect again if the news arises.

I have been using Dynamic Electrical Contractors for years. Both the owners are reliable, honest, hardworking - and always get the job done and on time. They were extremely patient and had a lot of great ideas. It has been a pleasure working with them and their crew.

An electrician company battling for business in NYC that does not the first thing about customer service. After calling to discuss business, one of the associates did not even begin to give me the time of day. As I was explaining  our needs the associate hung up, but not before mumbling something under his breath. I can sit here and say I am thankful to never do business with such a B grade company. I'd rather stick a paper clip in an outlet than do business with H & A.

I recently purchased a new home and hired BQ Electric to do several electrical projects throughout my house including installing a new bathroom fan/heater, installing a tv outlet for my big screen tv, installing new ceiling fans and upgrading all the outlets and switches throughout the home. The two guys that were sent to my house did an excellent job and were super neat and clean. All the fixtures were installed straight and level, they cleaned up and vacuumed after each job and were super professional. The owner Brian went above and beyond by having his team out here immediately in order to get the job done before my painter came. They did a great job and I would highly recommend them!

Loved that they took precautions seriously  during the covid situation, David and his team did an excellent job everything was done neat and explained clearly. Additional the team were punctual polite and really nice.

The pricing was reasonable and well explained and outlined before the job.

Would highly recommend tower, for any electrical needs.

excellent service, 100% professional and competent. we had an emergency on an easter sunday and they immediately came over, investigated, fixed the issue and charged us a reasonable rate. i am super impressed. we will use them exclusively for all electrical work from here on out and will recommend them to all friends/family in the area.

I work at a yoga studio in Brooklyn that has a hot room with radiant heating panels hanging from the ceiling.  A few of these heating panels stopped working.  Craig came in for a diagnosis session and figured out that there were a few different problems: how one heating panel was not attached to any electrical wires in the first place; and how a few of them were connected to a faulty thermostat.  He explained everything clearly and did so while doing the diagnosis.  He is very flexible when it comes to his hours and very accommodating.  When the studio received the replacement thermostat, Craig came back shortly after and fixed the problems.

Highly recommended.
