Alex did an incredible job installing and updating a new 200 amp state-of-the-art Siemens Box on my house AND at a very fair price to what others wanted to charge. Highly recommended.
★★★★★
Highly recommend and I'm in real estate so refer often!
Been using them for over 10 years now and they have not let me down once.
Conistently the best electricians in our area.
They are honest, experienced and most of all won't oversell.
They will be honest if they don't suggest something even if it means less money in their pockets.
You can’t go wrong calling these guys.

Please, please, please, go with Alex, if you find a quote lower than his just know it will probably ballon up and cost you more than what Alex would've done. I had an initial quote from a company charging about 1000 under Alex's price and in the interest of saving money I went with them. In the end the quote was not accurate and the contractor wanted 2000 more, this quote did not even include AFCI breakers at that price which Alex let me know were required for my job. Going with the cheapest quote was inaccurate, not up to code, and now costing me more. Alex spent his valuable Sunday evening to go over how I can resolve this billing dispute with the other contractor. I am sad I did not go with him, he was the most accurate quote, knowledgeable and said the extra work I was charged for was likely unnecessary. I really appreciate Alex taking the time and I am mad I did not go with him to complete my work.

Their crew did a great job last year. On time, efficient and passed permit and inspection easily. The replacement panel work was required by new insurance regulations. Today the new insurance company claimed an error- Alex responded in minutes with pictures and the invoice- the error was the inspector took a picture of the wrong meter box. Thank you Alex- even a year later you were quick to respond and save the day!

I used Alex for a very large residential project and would definitely use him again.
--- DETAILS BELOW ---
Reasons:
- He is trustworthy. He did what he said he was going to do and charged what he said he was going to charge. When I went over the invoice with him, we discovered a few *minor* places where I was charged for things I should not have been, and he took them off. He actually said he likes it when they discover an issue, in the sense that it means they can reduce their client's bill! Some of these billing inaccuracies were things that I could not have verified, myself, so he had to verify w/ his crew, and he came back and did the right thing by correcting the bill even though I would have been none the wiser if he had lied. For other things, I clarified to him what was done, and he made the necessary corrections. To be clear, these were *minor* oversights. His crew did a large residential project for me and there was a *lot* to keep track of.
- He spent probably 2-2.5 hours with me over the course of 4-5 phone calls, planning and explaining the project to me to help me make the best decisions regarding what work to get done, when to do it, and how to do it so as to minimize impact on the tenants.
- He was ok w/ periodic phone call check-ins (this was a large project and I was not living on-site).
- He communicated well, enabling me to coordinate with the person doing the patching
- Covered everything, including the floor, with plastic/etc to minimize the dust that got in the house
- He was *close* to meeting the timeline he gave for the work (details below)
- As far as I can tell, his crew did quality work, and went beyond the 'bare minimum' required to pass inspection, in terms of grounding the wires, if I recall correctly. Since the final corrections, the tenants have not informed me of any issues.
Work done:
- installed dual service panel and subpanel on main house
- rewired all cloth wiring (> 50% of the house)
- added 15-25 of outlets, and moved a few
- added 22-28 recessed lights, replacing some existing lighting and removing some
- added light switches and bathroom fan switches
- installed electric car charger
Room for improvement: this was a large project being done on a rental property and the crew took the project down to the wire. They finished up as the tenants came back from a multi-day trip. Due to rushing at the end, they did not manually verify all the outlets were working. The tenants discovered some were not and then Alex's crew came back and addressed everything (free of charge, of course). They could have been better with their time estimate, or finished earlier.
