Vets did a great job working within our timeframe. We just purchased an investment property and the detached garage needed a lot of updating as well as a few things inside the house.

The price was very comparable to other quotes but the reviews here did it for me. They even moved up the work date due to a bigger project being slid back.

Overall I highly recommend them for your electric needs and services. Cassie is great to work with and replies to correspondence almost immediately. Great job!

I struggle with this review...  how many stars?  Jesse came out for an estimate more than three weeks ago.  He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful, including mask and social distancing compliant.  Vet's has great reviews with lots of positive comments.  I really liked all those things and looked forward to receiving an estimate.  He noted that Vet's Electric is neither the most costly nor the least, and I confirmed I was looking for quality work rather then cheapest cost.  Later during the walk through he said something about 38 for a sub panel, and then before he left he gave me a rough guess of the cost and said at least 6 and told me he'd follow up with an estimate.  

At this point I still felt really good about Jesse and his shop but the beginning of doubts were forming.  I had done research beforehand which told me the services I was looking for would be on average $1500-$1800.  With all the madness going on this year driving cost increases in many industries including construction; I figured his estimate would be from there up to maybe 2x that.  And so I start wondering...  what did he mean by 38 and what did he mean by 6. Thousands?  Hundreds?  Neither number is remotely close to what I'd expected.  All good and well...  I'm a patient person and can wait for an estimate.  

So I checked in five days after he was here, sent a text asking when I could expect to receive an estimate.  No response.  So several days later, I called, and spoke with Tiffany.  I asked about the status of the estimate.  I get that we were in the holiday season.  I can wait...  but...  if they want me, or any customer, to wait a matter of weeks, for an estimate after a visit to the site they need to communicate that clearly.  She told me she'd look into it and call me back.  We confirmed that she had the correct phone number and my correct email address.  

It's now been about two weeks since I spoke with Tiffany.  No call back.  No estimate received.  I have no idea what happened.  Maybe they didn't want to do the job I had, maybe they forgot, maybe they're too busy?  

I did seek competitor quotes.  Those quotes were provided the same day the site visit was performed.  Emailed to me within hours of the visit.  I wish I could speak to try actual amount of the quote from Vet's Electric but I have yet to receive it.

These guys are great! I had Jesse, one of the owners, do  my estimate and  the guys who came out to do the work knocked it out under budget!! I will be having them back out to  put 220 in my garage as well and add several 110 outlets.

I'm telling you from first hand experience that Veterans have an awesome work ethic and get the job  done!! They are mmy  go to  Electricians from now on!!

Thanks Vets Electrical!

They called me again and were able to fit me in earlier, which was great. The guys who came out were fantastic. They figured out what was going on with the insane wiring in my garage and made my porch lights work.

While I maintain that scheduling with them was problematic, the actual workers themselves were wonderful.

I highly recommend Vets Electric for any electrical needs. They are professional and efficient. We had a miscommunication re: a billing issue, and they resolved the issue promptly. Look no further for your go-to electricians!

Honest assessment, well priced, and high quality work.  I had them do some electrical work on our newly purchased home, was very pleased with every aspect from initial call to final product.  They offer great rates for military as well.  Using them again for another project.  Definitely my go to for electrical needs.

We are really happy with the work done by Vets Electric.  Dave visited out house on three occasions and completed a great number of tasks in our older home.  He was personable, professional, and proficient.  In each case the work was done quickly and cleanly.  We will definitely recommend Vets to our friends and family. Great high-quality work!

I cannot speak to their work, but I was told I would receive a quote in roughly 48 hours after they looked over my home and it took three weeks to get that quote. The price seems fair and the warranty options aren't the best I've seen (that distinction goes to the company I am accepting the bid from) but they aren't the worst warranty options either. I am not suggesting that anyone not use Vets based on my experience but I want to be sure that they understand that their lack of communication isn't going to reflect well on them and I hope they improve in the future.

Going on 24 hours with no quote. It's a small job. Sent pictures to Cassie and STILL nobody contacted me. I'll pay someone else to do the job or I'll just do it myself. Veterans are NOT a priority obviously.

I recently called Vets Electric and they came out within a couple of days to look at my garage power being out. John called ahead of schedule and asked if he could come early, which wasn't a problem. He arrived shortly after the call and was very friendly, but spent less than two minutes here when he walked into my garage and hit the GFCI reset on my wall and restored the power. They didn't charge me for this visit, this is a company that operates with integrity and I really appreciated them taking care of me.

I went onto Yelp to find an electrician and requested a quote from 5 companies.  Vets Electric got back to me with a quote online before other companies even set up a date to send someone to give me a quote.  After discussing with several people the quote, everyone agreed the price was reasonable for the work.  A week later Aaron and a coworker came out and in less than 4 hours had the work done.  It looks great.  The work being done was upgrading a 110 volt 2 person hot tub to a 240 volt system.  Wiring had to be run from one side of the house to the other.  They did their best to make the wiring look inconspicuous.  The work space was all cleaned up and you would never know they were there except for the new wiring.  A side bonus was a military discount.  I appreciate that.  Thanks Vet Electric.

I contacted these folks (via yelp) on 5/15 about a new property that had a few pings on the inspection report. They responded almost immediately and set a time to call me to chat through the projects the following week. Got them out to the place, they did a bid on the spot, told me a bit about the company. While we ended up not doing the work for a few reasons I'd recommend these guys for sure.

What a great decision we made going with Vets Electric to upgrade our electrical box and have it generator ready!!! Crew was professional and knowledgeable as they explained everything  that was being done.... Will definitely have them back out for other projects.... Best part about this decision was we paid exactly what Jesse quoted us... Highly recommend for all your electrical needs....

Requested a quote on Yelp and they were able to send a technician out the same day! Technician John came, super nice and professional.. didn't have the breaker I needed on hand but went out and got it. Job was done within an hour. Will definitely be using Vets for all of our electrician needs!

Replaced an old Panel and added new wiring for new circuits, Guys are great, kept to the Quote, and then scheduled them less than a week later, showed up on time, worked hard all day, cleaned up and tested everything.  Was very impressed.  Would use them again for any electrical work.

Great service, very customer friendly and they did great work. Jesse, Alex, and Cassy all listened to my concerns and needs. The work done is perfect. All appointments were met and on time.
Everyone made sure I was well informed and I'm extremely happy with their work.
It pays to hire a Vet, and it shows. I'll definitely call them back for future work.
Thanks!

The customer service from these folks are exemplary. Let's just say - I am not a handy person at all. I am more of a work in progress on that front. So when I needed to install 2 motion sensor lights I reached out to the Yelp community for consult. I ask for rates by telling other businesses what I was wanting to do. Without exerting too much effort asked me more detailed questions about the job. They provided me with an estimate and explained why. Rather than spouting off numbers or hourly rate. It did turn out my, what I thought was a simple inexpensive project became too cost prohibitive for me to do....I didn't use their service but they really directed me to what I needed to know. While others were more busy about getting the business...these guys were more focused on educating their customers. Great Job!

We contracted with Vets Electric to do a number of odd electrical installations. A couple of the requests were difficult: for example, installing a sconce that sits above a staircase to the basement and a large circular LED fixture in the dining room. They completed all the work quickly and efficiently. Everything looks great and they finished in record time. Great job, guys!

Awesome people! I'm a real estate broker and a general contractor and I used them on a closing that I had recently for client. We needed somebody to get the job done quickly because of the closing date approaching and the previous electrician did not get the job done, so we hired Vets Electric and they went above and beyond and got the job done and we're more competitively priced.

Vets Electric sent over Brandon and Alex and they were exceptional in their customer service and troubleshooting skills.  We had an entire wall go out after plugging in a portable heater and they were able to correct some faulty wiring issues, that had been done by the prior owners. We will Highly Recommend them to all our friends or anyone who encounters electrical issues.

Kevin and Jesse were awesome! Kevin gave me a call half an hour before the schedule time to let me know he's on the way. They walked me through the options for installing a new dedicated circuit and plug for our new over the range microwave. Also explained the pros and cons for each option, and what they would do personally. Also, the quoted work was much less than what other companies were quoting. Will definitely use them again.

They responded quickly but their availability timeline was not within the guide lines of my HOA so I did not use them.

Found Vets electric through Home Advisor.  I scheduled an appointment for a bid to upgrade our main electrical panel and to provide service to an auxillary building and greenhouse.  Jesse called to inform he was on his way as scheduled.  As we walked the project area Jesse asked questions and provided input that resulted in a detailed estimate of the project.  After I accepted their bid I worked with Cassie, at their office, to schedule the project.  She did an excellent job working within my time requirements to have the job scheduled.  On the day of the project Vince and his crew arrived on time. We walked the project areas and reviewed the bid documents.  This extra effort resulted in a complete project with no issues to be resolved.  The crew was courteous, respected our request to keep the gates closed to corral the dogs, completed all the work requested and cleaned up the their work areas.  A numbers addition and permit issue came up but both were immediately and satisfactorily resolved by Jesse and Cassie.  I will definitely use Vets Electric for any future electrical needs and would gladly recommend Vets to family and friends

I recently needed some electrical work done and called around to a few different places before landing at Vet's Electric. Jesse and his crew know their stuff and are priced very competitively. Not only do they do great work, they do it with integrity and everything they do comes with a warranty. A good electrician is hard to find and I'm glad I found Jesse and Vet's Electric. Highly recommended!! Plus they make hiring vets a priority -- give them a call today!

I called Vets for a project no other electrician was eager to take on--the modulating switch for my propane fireplace.  Happy ending is that the switch is now installed, for the price quoted, and with a pleasant professional crew who appeared on time and prepared to undertake the job. We also had them install another electrical outlet elsewhere in the house. Everyone from the office staff, to the person who quoted the job (Jessie, the owner), and the crew led by John were helpful, knowledgeable, careful and cautious with my home, and a pleasure. We will call upon them again to assist us with the installation of some new under cabinet lighting when our project is ready. I highly recommend Vets Electric.

After buying our first home, we needed to have some electrical work done. Jesse, the owner, was prompt in returning my emails and scheduling an appointment. Alex and Damien arrived on time for our appointment, quickly completed the work, and then provided us with options and a thorough explanation of some additional work that needed to be completed so we could have a new water heater installed safely. They answered all of my questions and were great to work with. They will be our go to electricians!

I used Vet's Electric to replace and upgrade the wiring in my 1944 townhouse. Everyone was wonderful to work with!  Cassie was awesome, and Jesse and Dave wonderful as well.  The work was done very quickly, and Dave made a point of staying late on the last day to finish up, giving me useful electricity safety pointers and explanations of what he was doing and the work they had already done.  They all made an intimidating project very approachable and I appreciated their timeliness, professionalism, and approachability. Again, wonderful to work with, do a quality job, and would highly recommend them. I will definitely use them again if I ever need additional electric work done!

Kevin was very thorough and professional! He listened to my needs/wants and provided feedback. I had 3 new outlets installed in the kitchen - price was comparable to other bids that I received.  I was kept up to date throughout the entire process and have already scheduled and job!
