"I received a call back immediately after submitting my inquiry for the installation of a car charger for my new electric vehicle. Saul met me at my house later the same day, and he was able to do the work the next morning. Great customer service, very knowledgeable, great work quality, competitive price and a really nice guy to work with. I ll call Saul and Three Brothers for all my electrical work in the future."

"Richard Reid was extremely courteous, professional and did an outstanding job on this request. I had him in the next week to restore power to a receptacle so that I could replace my lamp post outside the house. I had a number of others look at it and he was the only one who was able to make the repairs. He also discover an outlet in my garage that was actually burning through the wires and fixed it as well. His charges are extremely reasonable. I would and have already highly recommended him to friends."

"This firm was one of three I reached out to regarding installation/repair of electrical fixtures. David from Lilly called me promptly while the other two called after 1-2 days. On the day of the appointment, Bob came early, did his job and left a positive impression. Also, their prices are very reasonable. I recommend them to anyone who likes great service."

"The electrician was very fast to respond to my request, he came on the same day and installed the outlet. Unfortunately, I did not have the cord with me, so we did not realize it at the time, but the outlet was upside down. He did end up coming back to change the orientation of the outlet, which I appreciated. The outlet works well and our car is happily charging in the garage."

"I just built my house a year ago and needed to add an EV charger to my garage. Trish called me within an hour and set up an appointment for Hugo to come out the next day. There were two additional parts to the job I needed done as well, and one of them was a bit more expensive than I was expecting... but honestly, I had no idea how much to expect for the third part of the job so I can't blame them at all. There was no pressure at all to complete the more expensive portion of the job when I told them I'd have to pass on it at the time. The actual job was scheduled for the following week, and Tommy and Kevin showed up on time and were done in less than 3 hours. They gave me a few recommendations for drywall repair as well since there were three small holes that needed cut to run the new circuit for the EV charger. Highly recommended... Hugo & Kevin were extremely knowledgeable and helpful with all questions from a new homeowner like myself."

"I hired Stifflers Electric Service to rewire motion detector lights on my home to fix improper wiring install from the previous owner. Mr. Stiffler definitely knows what he's talking about. The price for the job was very reasonable. David completed the project promptly and the result exceeded my expectations. David also gave me good advice on other electrical work and saved me some money when recommended a remote switch for the future instead of installing a hard switch which would be more expensive. In addition, Mr. Stiffler also promised to come back and replace a blown light in one of the motion detector lights for no charge."

"I mean... read the other reviews! He consistently does top notch work. I got 3 quotes for a 220 volt charger for my incoming Tesla Model 3. James called and came to my house same day to give a quote. He plotted a couple of different routes from the breaker box to the garage, taking care to respect the aesthetics of the interior/exterior of the house (ie not running the wires in a haphazard fashion that may look ugly). Others either had me describe how the wiring should run, or said they would drill and run straight from point A to B, damaging crown molding or whatever else was in its path. On installation day, he and his partner took a little time to again plot the course, discovering that they could run an even more efficient and cleaner route to the garage. I really appreciated the professionalism exhibited from initial point of contact through scheduling permitting with the county for me. A+ service!"

"Nothing but positive things to say about J. Gill construction. The craftsmanship of their work is top notch and they are highly efficient in executing the project plan. Beyond the aforementioned positives, for my basement reno, what I appreciated most was the fact that the team was ALWAYS on time. Often, they would be waiting in the driveway by 0630 and they would always start working by 0700. This level of consistency makes life so much easier to plan around home renovations! One additional tidbit of import: I had to part ways with another contractor that was doing sloppy and slow work on a hardwood flooring install and kitchen renovation upstairs. I inquired with J. Gill and they were not only able to take over the work from the other contractor, but they completed the remaining flooring install (cleaning, prep and install of 850sq feet) within 24 hours. For comparison sake, the other contractor took 96 hours to install 150sq feet. Needless to say, not only are they professional, but they are also lifesavers! I have already recommended them to a couple of my colleagues at work and will definitely use them for renovation projects I have in the future! Very happy in Laurel, MD!"

Electricians do a fair amount of larger remodeling and new construction projects but also common residential projects including:
For cost information related to the above tasks, visit our Electrical Cost Guide.
A truly skilled, well-equipped professional with a truck full of parts that charges $100 an hour can be a much wiser choice than an inexperienced hack, working with inadequate tools and no parts, but charging much less. Often, more experienced professionals get the job done quickly with warrantied work.
2. Compare Travel ChargesRates reflect travel times. Travel charges can have a big impact on your costs and are in some ways easier to compare than hourly rates. Many electricians spend a third or more of their time navigating traffic on their way to a jobsite. Every contractor must find a way to pay for the expense of driving each day.
3. Bundle Repair Jobs TogetherWhen you feel it’s time to call a pro, review your list and then conduct a mini-inspection of your home. Look for faulty switches and dysfunctional or crowded outlets. When the electrician comes, you’ll save money and time by getting everything taken care of at once.
4. How to Prepare & What to Know Before the Electrician ArrivesSilver Spring Electricians are rated 4.7 out of 5 based on 863 reviews of 863 pros.
