Best Home Building in Seattle WA

These guys did an awesome job for me. Fast, efficient and per the book. Conscientious beyond anything I've ever encountered in a private contractor. I'd recommend them to anybody needing electrical work.

We needed to fix an electrical issue at our house. Our regular electrician had retired, but he referred us to Linder Electric. Matt came out and investigated, and he and I discovered a number of wiring issues where previous work in this old house had not been done correctly. He corrected it all, including running new lines from the breaker box, through the garage, through the crawlspace, into the lower floor, and up into the upper floor. He was careful, thorough, and focused on making sure everything was done correctly and well. He had to make a few holes in walls and ceilings, but he thought ahead to minimize the work of the handyman who would follow and fix everything. Plus, Matt is just a very nice guy.

When it was done, the city inspector came out to give permits, and he was very impressed with the quality of Matt's work. That was very encouraging to hear!

I will continue to use Linder for any electrical work that may come up in the future.

If i could give 0 stars I would. I hate and hardly EVER give bad reviews but this place is unreliable and it feels like pulling teeth when you need a response from them.

I had to get my bathroom fan replaced. They came and took my unit out and said they had to order a new unit. Didn't come back until a month later with a new guy. He came assessed the same way the first guy did and left saying they had to order a new unit AND said they LOST the original unit.

Called and called. No response. Had to get another electrician to finish their job.

The worst part is that this company stated to have replaced my fan when asked about my case.

I am not sure what was going on the day they came but it seemed like one of the guys didn't communicate with the other guy. We had to explain everything that needed to be done again, which isn't a big deal. The big deal happened when the owner came late, was acting super weird, not present, on his phone, smelled like vomit, etc. Due to all this his co-worker had to pretty much do everything. The co-worker was rushing because he had been working for quite a long time that day (I am guessing). At one point one of them had to run to Home Depot or Lowes to get a universal fan controller (which they charged $100 when it was $39.99 at the store; they were having a hard time with the fan I purchased). They also had to guy some equipment (auto on light) but they we not in stock so we only did one of the lights we wanted. Prior to their being over my husband said he wanted a certain dimmer that they didn't have available so they used ones I bought (and was going to take back).

Before all of this, the owner scheduled himself on a Monday holiday and just told us a few days before he had to reschedule because of that. He also gave a window for time they'd be there but didn't get there until the very end of the window (again, having to rush through).

This company was highly recommended but we will definitely not be using them again due to the unprofessional demeanor we witnessed.

We had the team at Artisan install our system and everything went as promised and very smoothly.
They are true professionals and I would highly recommend their services.

I echo Tami T!  I am so happy that my contractor recommended them.  Everyone is amazing!  They are doing a pretty large job for my first floor AADU, including a total rewire of my 1964 home and moving service and panels.  They are on it and so flexible and professional and wonderful.

Thank you, Patrick and crew!!!

Zach did a small electrical job at my house at a moments notice.  I called one day and he was there the very next day.  He was on time and completed the project timely.  Zach works very fast and efficiently.  He was a nice guy and very easy to work with.  I would definitely use him again.

Fast and reliable. Had them come out to install a new line for my car's charger and they were faster and less expensive than everybody else I got a quote from. My electrician and his apprentice did a great job!!! Took about half an hour and they went out of their way to fix the holes in my garage from ANOTHER electrician. Amazing service.

5 stars is not nearly enough for Varsity Electric and Justin! I called Varsity Electric and spoke to Ryan with a huge ask of getting an electrician scheduled within the next week for a kitchen remodel that was starting. I had a short timeline because I had just received the schedule from the company we had doing the kitchen. Ryan said I was asking for a miracle and I said yes. He made it happen! Justin came out as scheduled with safety as a top priority during COVID. Justin came out and learned what we needed to do and helped us figure out the best timeline and he worked it all in to his already busy schedule to make sure we got everything done on time. We switched two lights from recessed lighting to pendent lights; he had to redo the wiring so that the pendants worked with the same switch. We had lights placed under our upper cabinets, two new chandeliers, and he even fixed our other chandelier that my husband and I put up but had an excess of chain and wiring on it. Justin finished up the project with Cody and we could not be happier. We will be calling Varsity Electric and Justin for any and ALL of our electrical needs. They are true professionals and are dedicated to delivering the best customer service. Thank you so much Varsity electric for making our kitchen remodel experience a better experience!

I have no first hand knowledge about this business, as we don't live in the area, but just wanted to add that they went to Washington DC to install audio equipment to the DC Eagle's Nest last year (this is available live on line 24/7). Looking (or rather listening) to the result, they seem to have done a great job.

So we know that they are likely animal friendly and involved enough to travel across the country and working 60' - 80' up a tree where the nest is located assisting with the eagle conversation project & US Fish & Wildlife Service. They must be good people, and that would count to me if I needed an electrician in this area.
