"Matt is very responsive which I value very much and transparent about cost. He also showed up when he said he will and got the job done."

Additions and Remodels
"Lou and his team did a great job on my chimney. They took before and after pictures. The quality of the work was outstanding. Lou searched all over to match my shingles, he insisted that he find the exact match and drove into Boston to find them which was way out of his way. Lou also came over at the end to inspect himself and make sure I was satisfied w the work!. I highly recommend Loy and his team for any home improvement projects you may have!!"

"Wilmer was absolutely stellar in his project to replace my old oil boiler with a a gas one. I shopped around heavily and Wilmer provided me the best quote and walked me through my setup to help me understand it before I ever committed to giving him the job. He was incredibly friendly, honest and knowledgeable. He provided communication throughout the project and was quick to get back to me on any questions I had. The work got done in 3 days as he promised. His team showed up on time, worked hard and cleaned up after themselves. The quality of the work is top notch. I am a very happy customer and would absolutely love to do business with WR again."

"Carmen was a pleasure to work with. He is responsive and knowledgeable. I hired Carmen to do an electrical service upgrade to my home. He visited to look at the job in person and provided an accurate quote and time frame for the work to be completed. Even though Carmen ran into some unexpected surprises left by the previous owner he still kept his word and worked extra hard to complete the job in one day so that power could be restored to my home. His work is neat and he left the whole job site meticulous. I would recommend Carmen for electrical work and plan to hire him again for some additional work at my home."

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.
