RETTER ELECTRIC

It is a hundred plus year old building and he did a great job.

The provider was on time and very personable. He immediately figured out the problem and had the part to fix it. He answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. Since the job turned out to be easy he asked if there were any other electrical issues since he charges a set fee for the service call. While he was there, I got an estimate for another upcoming electrical job. When we are ready to do that project, we will definitely use this company.

Marty was excellent. he arrived and did the work at the times he said he would be there. he was professional. he made several suggestions as to the type of bulbs to use under the circumstances and was right on with his choices. I have already told someone else about him and would recommend him to anyone looking for an electrician in my area.

Marty was prompt and professional in his response and in his quote. One of the best aspects of this interaction was his reliability and responsiveness. He responded promptly and showed up when he said he would. We bought a 40 year old home that had not had any care of its electricals and we wanted new lights and fans installed. Effectively we had a laundry list. Marty was quick to respond, provided an appropriate quote at a fair price and did quality work. He provided expert opinion and suggestions about our projects but didn't get in the way of our making a decision - just provided reasonable information and suggestions. His attitude was clearly to get us what we wanted but along the way give us his expert feedback so that we didn't get things we didn't need. Much appreciated. His work was excellent. He has definitely won us over as loyal customers and we recommend him strongly to anyone undertaking electrical projects/repair.

Actually showed up early for quote. Finished the job right then and there, we did not have to wait for another visit. He explained all he saw in the junction box, while not up to his standards, was acceptable. Explained the possible failures based on visible signatures of how the lights were operating poorly. Did troubleshooting and fixed all 3 fixtures (one relatively new one had a bad ballast that we did not suspect). Already planning on more work to be done by him in the near future.

Marty was punctual, professional and personable. He will certainly be the electrician of choice if ever I am in need of electrical services again. I have already recommended him to 2 other families.

Marty lived up to his other Angie's List ratings. He responded to my late-night e-mail within about 30 minutes, and scheduled an appointment for the next afternoon. He arrived when promised, confirmed his suspicions of the problem, had the parts on hand, explained how they worked, showed me how and where they were worn, cleaned up the connections, replaced only what needed to be replaced. He was professional and personable. He's my go-to electrician now. Glad I found him.

Very timely, professional and knowledgeable, gave us an assessment of breaker box- circa 1976- and advised on best course of action after inspection pointed to likely problem and solution. Would call him again.

We gave Marty a laundry list of things we wanted to do to our home. What Marty did with that laundry list is what was most impressive. Instead of taking the list and simply executing it, he came, provided a quote for the list, then provided some suggestions on ways to accomplish our desired goals with different, less expensive options. Then, in the process of executing those options and learning in more detail the specifics of our house's grid, he realized that he could accomplish the same goals with even less expensive options. The result was a very professionally executed project which delivered exactly our desired outcome, with an 18% reduction to our original estimates. THAT IS VALUE. The guys were on time, under budget, excellent work, personable, and responsive. We'll be going back to Marty in the future without a doubt, and the Angie's List rating is well deserved.

Marty came to the house to see work to be done and make an estimate. On time and knowledgeable. Added conduit as needed to new outlet location. Arrived on time and reviewed work to be done then completed work in good time and left all work areas clean and well finished. Very pleased on all accounts and will certainly use him to do work in the future without hesitation.

Marty came on time and completed all of the requested services as well as I could have hoped. I was able to schedule him to come within days and get everything done. Retter electric will be the first call I make the next time I need an electrician.

He came to give an estimate, was exactly on time, and gave us the best possible advice. We were contemplating have new LED outside light fixtures installed. His advice: our current fixtures are working perfectly and emit a bigger pool of light than the new fixtures would. He also did a cost analysis and leaving well enough alone, even though it did him out of a job, was to our advantage. We appreciated his honesty and would definitely call him again as a result.

A+ service all the way around. We'd recently had a bad experience with a different electrician (who had fewer and more ambiguous , but nevertheless positive reviews on Angie's List and Yelp) who never showed up, so we were wary. I called Marty and we scheduled an in-home estimate -- he arrived promptly and was very personable and knowledgeable. He quoted a fair price. We scheduled service, and sure enough, he showed up (a few minutes early) and did a tremendous job. He was very good about communicating with us our various options and what their cost/benefits were. He was tidy and good-natured. I recommend him very highly. He is a professional and a good guy; he should be your go-to electrician.

He is the most knowledgeable electrician I have ever worked with. He did all the work himself because by doing so he can maintain the highest quality of workmanship. He interacts very well with me and I can be sure we are on the same page before he starts each task. His work is of the highest quality and I have complete confidence in his judgement. He often makes excellent suggestions that have led to an even more satisfactory outcome than I had anticipated.

Retter Electric arrived right on time. Came in and performed the work efficiently. The Electrician was courteous and got the job done without any issues I am very happy with this service provided and would definitely call on Retter Electric again

Marty was on time and knew what to do.

The experience with RETTER ELECTRIC was smooth and easy. We will use him again!

I called Retter Electric because of the good reviews on Angie's List and made an appointment with the owner, Marty Bush. I had a couple of plugs with six wires that needed to be rewired. My sister had planned on rewiring all the plugs and switches in one room, but these two turned out to be too complicated for her. He carefully taught us how to pigtail some of the wires so the plugs could work without using the less desirable "quick wire" method. He was very willing to pass along his knowledge and "tricks of the trade" to us. He is conscientious about his work. What had been a jumble of wires shoved in an electrical box, was put back in a very orderly fashion. He also changed four thermal sensors on my Halo lights, two of which were on vaulted ceilings. These are old Halo lights and the sensors are not in a convenient location to reach. He is a very professional, pleasant person who wants the job done right - no short cuts . If I were building a house, he would do all the electrical.

I found Retter Electric by searching here on Angie's List and sent an email message to the listed contact, Marty Bush, on Tuesday evening. I received a response within a few minutes. After trading a few email messages, I had an appointment for the following day. Marty is the owner. He arrived on time I wasn't at home when Marty was there but my wife was, and she said that he was very friendly and professional. Marty explained what he was going to do and then told her what he was doing while he was doing it. He was careful with our furniture and cleaned up after the job. The fan (and switch) look great. We could have asked for more prompt and professional service. We have found a great electrician and we will call on Retter Electric again for future projects.

We have a family home in San Francisco that was bought and upgraded in 1977. Though I've never lived in that home, I visit often and supervise any repairs that are needed. Several months ago the kitchen panel switch kept blowing whenever small appliances were being used in three (3) different kitchen outlets. I started contacting electricians prior to visiting. The first electrician switched some wires around, then reported to me that I had about one month before the system would fail again and that my only option was to completely upgrade the house electrical panel. He gave me a quote of approximately $5,000 and that it would take 1 - 2 months to complete the repairs with involving City and electrical inspectors. I started calling other electricians, who all told me they didn't think that would be necessary. When I arrived to the family home, I called all the electricians I had been in contact with. Marty Bush, who is Retters Electric, had a cancellation and was able to come to the home directly. Marty saw what the other electrician had done and corrected it. Marty then returned a day later, after purchasing the replacement parts needed and replaced the electrical box switches to a none damaged track area of the electrical box. The only thing that took time was for Marty to call around to different electrical supply places to find which of them had the replacement parts needed. Marty was great. Not only did he understand the whole problem, but was able to step me through everything he was doing, so that I understood. I am so pleased with his work that I have invited him back to do some additional electrical work that, according to Marty, really doesn't need to be done, but will make the electricity in the kitchen area even more efficient. I was delighted that Marty was able to save me so much money and time. Marty is very proud when he is able to save his clients money. Marty is very knowledgeable electrician and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs an excellent, honest and very professional electrician.

The overall experience with this company was great. Marty came to my home, identified and fixed the problem. Good experience. Nice guy!!!

Marty came to my house the next morning and did the job. It took about an hour to do it. I was totally satisfied with the work done and I plan to have him come back to do other electrical work I need done.

See if you can get the respondent to talk you through a series of diagnostic tests.

Martin arrived on time, did the work in a professional and efficient manner. He first cut and mounted the conduit, then fished the wires, then attached the outlets. My garden hose holder was positioned where he wanted to run the conduit, so he remounted it to a spot about a foot over. Before installing the 220 plug, he checked to see what type of plug my washing machine required. He had given me an estimate of two hours maximum for the job plus materials, and he finished in less than 2 hours.

Martin was really great. He rearranged his own vacation to come to my house on holiday so I didn't have to miss work. Together, we figured out the route that was best for conduit and plug locations. When I had a good idea about what might work, he listened and used it. When there was a problem with an idea I suggested, he told me why it couldn't be done that way. When I thought I had good ideas, he sometimes made them better with his experience in houses like mine. So he actually listens and uses all info available to do the best job he can. I'm happy with his work and will use him again (when I will need to expand my panel in my 1937 house)
