I contacted several electricians and CoreTrade was the lowest. Their electricians arrived on time and after explaining what we needed they completed the work within a half hour. I'm very happy with the service received and I would recommend CoreTrade Electric Company to anyone who has electrical projects.

I interviewed a few electricians before settling on CoreTrade. John was the only one that showed up and took notes on what I wanted done. We’ve done a full kitchen gut and remodel. I had mapped out what electrical work I wanted done. He provided some advice based on his experience, which was appreciated. The quote he provided covered everything I asked for. The guy that didn’t take notes didn’t remember all the work I wanted done. Because we were doing most of the remodel ourselves there were several months in between the start and finish of the electrical work. John and crew were very accommodating. Our house is old and it wasn’t easy work. The price was very reasonable. Every time they showed up when they said they would. John was very helpful overall. There was a point when one of the installers was making claims about the electrical and John came by that day to look. He confirmed that the electrical was done right and explained how the installer needed to work around it.
Description of Work: It involved everything from new outlets and lights to grounding (previously ungrounded) receptacles. Full Kitchen remodel

The team was awesome. Way above expectations !! . Communicative, knowledgeable, punctual, professional , resourceful. They had all the tools, new parts, covered the work area, cleaned up after work. Very efficient, communicative, follow all safety standards. It is a high performing team. I did not have to arrange anything They got the permits, licences, insurance, contacted the county for the inspection, etc., the whole works!! And their price was CHEAPER than the discounted bulk price that "CAMP" (= Community Association Management Professionals ) my condo management's vendor quoted. I was very impressed

John and Core Trade are truly awesome. Our builder used them for our entire house, and as we have added things or changed things over the years, we’ve continued to use them. They are wonderful. Very communicative, practical, and easy to work with. I usually have a million questions and they always have answers. We had one situation where the heater they installed for us (we picked it out, not them) had manufacturing defects and they went out of their way to spend the time needed to figure it out, even setting up a call with the manufacturer to get to the bottom of the issue. They’ve done it all for us — wiring the whole house, installing lighting, extending power underground to a backyard patio, adding wattage to outlets so we could install a sauna and heaters, installing fans and lighting, changing out light switches, etc. They go above and beyond and we truly trust them at every step. Don’t give it another thought. Just hire them and you’ll be very happy!

I needed my media enclosure swapped for a much larger one so I could put the modem and network switch in the enclosure, plus some wire re-routing. The owner of CoreTrade reached out within a couple hours of my request, and gave me a quote one business day later. They were able to fit me in only a few days after that. The electricians that did the install were prompt and professional, and did an excellent job. We encountered some difficulties due to warped studs and wires in the way of the box, but they were able to think on their feet and quickly arrive at a solution. Before they left they cleaned the area thoroughly, and the whole time they (and I) wore masks. Overall, from quote to payment the whole thing took less than a week and I'm thrilled with the result! I will absolutely use CoreTrade again for any electrical work I need in the future.

The team actually showed up a few minutes early, so that by the estimated start time, they had already moved themselves and their tools into the house and were begining to work. They were clean, polite, well-organized and worked within the guidelines we established (careful to mask and social distance, content to work with doors and windows open to encourage through-ventilation). They finished the job quicker than we thought possible, but all the work looks great, and we're very pleased.

John from CoreTrade Electric did an amazing job. He and his assistant were friendly and courteous, and were able to think on their feet when an unforeseen issue arose. Pricing was very reasonable and they were available to come out within a couple days of my request. Worth noting in the COVID era that they wore shoe coverings and face masks the entire time they were in my home. Absolutely will be considering them before any others for any future electrical work!
