  Cole Electric Inc

  Cole informed me that they did not service our area. Your first question needs an N/A as they did not do any work but at least responded to my phone message informing that they do not service my Yorktown area...please note that their website indicates otherwise.

  Harold's Electric Co.

  Harold did a fantastic job of re-installing my circuit breaker panel and trouble shooting issues afterwards from poor installation from the original construction of the house. He was very professional and the job was completed to a better condition than when he started. I would not hesitate to call him again for all my electrical issues and highly recommend to anyone looking for professional and honest electrical work.

  Everything Electrical

  Jason called me right after I made the Angie's list inquiry and came to fix the issue the same day. He was punctual, polite, and effective in solving the problem. I would definitely call him for any future electrical needs.

  Gault Electric LLC

  I think the true test of any business is how they respond when the job turns out to be more difficult than expected. I've seen other service professionals take advantage of such situations but Gault did the opposite, worked with the situation until the troubleshooting produced perfect results. What was most remarkable is that they stayed cheerful and polite in what had to be a frustrating situation. Great work by Paul and Robert - Gault Electric is the company I will call whenever I need an electrician. As a bonus, the administrative assistants who answer the phone and handle scheduling are top notch, efficient and very courteous which is unfortunately getting rare these days.

  Total Home Improvements

  Extremely well. The work was very professionally planned, performed, and managed. The Total Home Improvement staff and sub-contractors in addition to performing excellent work were extremely reliable and trustworthy. We always felt very comfortable with the professional staff Total Home Improvements had performing the work in our home whether we were home or not. The work was started and completed on schedule.

  Asbury Electric

  It started out impressively and then went downhill fast! I received a text with a pic of the electrician saying he was on his way and he arrived in a timely manner. He was very professional and friendly. BUT.....that is where this review goes sideways. It took him a good 45 minutes before he even got around to my problem. He did a "safety" check of my house and tried to sell me a yearly electrical service and tried to sell me new smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. When he finally go around to getting ready to diagnosis the problem he presented me with 4 options all of which increased in price depending what he diagnosed. It took him all of ONE MINUTE to discover that there was no power coming to the house and that it was a problem with the power company. He then charged me over $350 for that!!!! I have never had a service technician come to my house, take one minute to discover the problem and then charge me an outrageous price for one minute of work. I expected to pay for him coming to my house, but this was just outrageous. I will NEVER use this company again and I am letting all my friends and neighbors know what happened.

  Total Home Improvements

  If you are concerned about the safety of your family by electrical work performed without permits or inspections leading to violations of the electrical code, then please read this review. I signed a contract with Total Home Improvements. They started a bathroom remodel on 4/19/18 with a pre-construction meeting. On 8/9/18, the owners told me they are breaching the contract and will not honor any of the warranties, because the subs do not like when I inspect their work. In my remodel, they did not follow the electrical codes or the manufacturer���s installation instructions. When I brought these issues to the project manager, the job resulted in delays. The job was started 4 months ago and I still live in a construction zone with a leaking toilet and electrical fire hazards that do not meet the code. I feel that they put my family���s safety in danger by installing a new heated floor in the bathroom without getting a permit or inspection. After they said they would not come back, I asked the county electrical inspector if a permit was needed. I asked this because if there was a fire in the heated floor the insurance may not pay if a permit was needed and not obtained, especially if the fire was caused by one of the safety issues. I am lucky the inspector came over anyway, because the 6 items he found not to code were safety issues and were serious. I would not have known about these issues until I had a fire in the house. After the inspector came to my house, then total obtained the plumbing and electrical permits. Of course they got electrical and plumbing violations for not getting a permit, and for not requesting an inspection. The inspections revealed that there were at least 6 items that did not meet the electrical code. These are serious issues. 1. There was no caulking in the fire stops. 2. There was no ground wire in the floor heating panel. 3. The wires were not secured in the attic and crossing near the access door. Wire was run over the floor and the ventilation ducts. The wire was not secured anywhere in the attic. This is both a safety hazard and a tripping hazard. 4. Metal 4��� square box needs to be bonded. 5. Tile heat circuit not labeled 6. Vanity lights were not secure. Total ran a new circuit for the heated floor, which requires a permit. The electrician turned the floor over to me and demonstrated the operation. He then said it is all yours. Total���s excuse for the violations was that they were not finished. If total was not finished, then when would they finish? They already left the job and said they were not coming back. They did not get a permit so there was no inspection required. If there was no inspection, then I would have had to live with these safety issues. The owners of Total still insist in an email ���No one gets permits for a bathroom remodel unless a fixture is getting relocated, however, once you start questioning the county officials they want to cover their rear ends and asked us to get permits. I suppose it may be a gray area in the codes, but it is unheard of with a remodel unless fixtures are being moved. If we were to have pulled a plumbing permit the inspector would have come out and asked why he was there. Now with that being said, if you ask the county if you need a permit for anything they will say yes because again, they want to cover themselves. There would not be enough inspectors if everyone remodeling a bathroom pulled permits. Where would it end, getting permits to change your faucet or toilet? No water lines or drain lines were changed. Now with the electrical, a permit is supposed to be pulled although again, it���s very rarely done for something so small.��� This job required a permit because they installed a new circuit from the electrical panel. Since they had so many code violations, how many of the other jobs in the past also required permits, and how many safety code violations are left unknown in other people���s houses? Only after they were issued code violations did they want to come back after quitting. Total now wants to fix the code violations using their contractors. There were problems with the shower bottom retaining water. The owner stated that I should not have picked the flat stones if I did not want water to stay in the shower. After contacting the manufacturer, I received an email that stated the floor was not installed correctly. The contractors did not follow most of the manufactures instructions, which voids the manufacture warrentee. This is true of the tile, thinset, waterproofing, floor heating, Durock cement backer board. I took some pictures during the work and forwarded them to the manufactures. The response for all the products used was that the work was not done to manufacture specs and voids the warrantee. The manufacture of the waterproofing band also told me that the job will most likely fail in the future. There was about a 4 x 4 inch spot where the waterproofing band was pulled away from the wall behind the tile with no thinset support. The tiles are 12 by 12 inch. Total���s answer is they do not need to follow the manufacturer���s installation instructions, and their way is just as good. I do not see how covering the back of a shower tile with 50% thinset is as good as 95%. The goal is to get 100% coverage. The project manager pulled one of the questionable tiles off the wall to repair the waterproofing band, but chipped the tile next to it. The cement board was damaged during the removal of the chipped tile. He cut out most of the damaged Durock, but now I have no waterproofing band, and some damaged Durock cement board. I do not see how this is just as good as the manufacturer���s installation instructions. In the contract it specifies what tiles should be heated, and most of those tiles do not get warm. They said it does not matter. They say it will get heated from the radiant heat of the other tiles. During a three hour test, the tiles did not heat up at all. These tiles were in the contract for a reason. These tiles were the entrance to the bathroom, entrance to the toilet area, and partially in front of the toilet. The owners told me that the tub was installed wrong. They said the tub would fail because the bottom of the tub does not touch the ground. They blaimed me because I wanted tile under the lip of the tub. When I talked with the project manager, we discussed putting tile under the lip of the tub as it was originally. We agreed that would look best. When the tile under the lip was installed, they had to use several layers of tile to raise the tub enough so that the water would drain away from the tub, and toward the shower. If this was wrong, then why did they not mention it before, and why did the tile contractor raise the tub even more? There are many other examples I can provide of improper installation. The owners stated that they met minimum standards and do not have to do anything better. I do not feel that this is quality work like they advertise. I do not feel that it is not reasonable that a 3-5 week job should have a lot of work left after more than 4 months. I also do not feel that it is reasonable to let contractors perform work that will later be hidden, and not be allowed to inspect their work. Once it is closed up than the discrepancies will be hidden. If you want a job done to minimum standards, and not industry best practices then sign up with someone who states that all work shall be performed in accordance with the performance criteria as established by the ���Residential Construction Performance Guide���, as published by the National Association of Home builders, Remodeler���s Council. This document provides minimum standards that are low. For example, it allows molding joints to be open the thickness of two American quarters. I believe that this document is written by contractors to limit their liability. If you want quality work, then find someone who uses the standards for quality, such as the ���Tile Council of North America Handbook���. This document is best practices, and protects the consumer.

  Yorktown's Handyman LLC

  Josh and his assistant did a wonderful job putting our kitchen back together after a water leak. Many repairs were needed and they did it all! They always showed up early each morning to get the job done. Josh is professional, friendly and most importantly does really great work. I felt at ease that the job would be done right. I was very pleased with the services provided and would recommend them to anyone needing small or big jobs done right.

  Price Electrical Inc

  No complaints. The job took several hours. They had to go in the attic to run wiring. Thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. I'm very satisfied with the results. This is my 2nd time using Price and I highly recommend them. I only wish I had been able to see the under-cabinet lights on display beforehand. The lights are very white and I was trying to duplicate what I had in my previous home which was a softer effect. It is good for task lighting, but not as cozy for ambient lighting.

  Mr. Handyman of Williamsburg and The Peninsula

  The work was performed wonderfully! The price was very fair for the amount of work I had them do, they did a great job, the fellow - Bob - who came over to do the work (or the only one I happened to meet) was very friendly and very capable, and they were punctual and kept me informed via email what their schedule was and asked if the schedule worked for me. For the exterior work they let me know that I didn't have to be home for them to do the repairs. I've recommended them to some friends at work and because they have been doing such a good job at a truely fair price, I felt compelled to place this review on Angie's List.
