Called Jesus and he was able to come the next morning. He was right on time, did the work, cleaned up afterwards and gave a reasonable charge. He was friendly and professional.
Description of Work: In this visit Jesus installed a CGFI outlet, but i have used him before to install ceiling fans, and to move an outlet and wire newly installed bathroom fixtures.

From start to finish the job was done in a professional manner. Jesus was a pleasure to work with and I will recommend him to others in addition to using his services again.
Description of Work: Jesus installed two ceiling fixtures. One fixture was in a stairway 15 feet high and Jesus approached the task with ease. Jesus answered my email promptly and gave me an estimate. He arrived on time, was neat, fully prepared and able to solve a minor issue.

This is the third time we had Jesus fix things in this badly wired condo, and the third time we have been extremely happy w/ his expert knowledge, care, and abilities. We are going to bite the bullet and have him replace the whole box.
Description of Work: Jesus came on very short notice to fix a broken circuit breaker box. He recommended eventual complete replacement, but very carefully explained he could do a "workaround".

The project went well. Jesus and his team worked on Saturdays to accomodate our work schedules. They showed up on time and stayed as long as it took to finish their work. They cleaned up after themselves. Jesus was very responsive to our questions and concerns.
Description of Work: Jesus and his team installed recess lighting in our living room, installed two outside lights, moved TV and telephone cables.

Jesus and his crew dropped everything and came right away when we had an electrical emergency that robbed power to furnaces in a three flat I own. They did the work quickly. He made it very easy for me. After I paid him, he stayed on top of Com Ed until the job was completed on their end of things. After working with several electricians over the years, Jesus is my guy, I would highly recommend him.

The owner, Jesus Solario, was punctual for the estimate, communicated well, and had some good ideas for changes that hadn't occurred to me. He emailed an estimate within a couple of days. His prices was significantly ($3,000!) less than the two other bids we got. We had very specific start and end times for getting the work done. He arrived early the first morning with two other employees (both also named Jesus!). The work was done quickly, efficiently and well, and they finished the job early. They were good about working around things where some people were still living in the house, and did some quick patching work as well. They forgot to do one small part of the work, but when I called them they came back the next day and finished the job. The most amazing part for me was that we paid exactly what they estimated, which was not our experience with other contractors doing large electrical jobs in the past.
Description of Work: Sol Electric did a large rewiring job in our 100+ year old Victorian house to replace older unsafe wiring.

Jesus and his guys did a wonderful job. They arrived early every morning and worked all day. They were courteous and professional. They explained exactly what they were doing and why. The little added personal touches were greatly appreciated, i.e. a light by the breaker panel and replacing the outlet covers. They made suggestions that were very beneficial. The estimate that Jesus gave was very precise, which I appreciated. It had everything that we had discussed.
Description of Work: Replaced existing 60amp service and installed one 100amp service, from house point of attachment to breaker panel. Installed new electrical ground from cold water service to the breaker panel. Installed one new electrical ground next to electrical meter. Installed one wall mount switch for light in kitchen and master bedroom. Replaced bad light fixture in foyer, master bedroom, kitchen and pantry.

Jesus was great to deal with start to finish. He required just a day or two to prepare the estimate. He and his crew arrived on time, and completed the job within two days. He supplied the fixtures, and I was quite happy with how they looked. His crew was neat, and they even did a nice job patching holes (a different contractor kept that work out of scope). He's responsive and a pleasure to work with.

Guys did a terrific job from start to finish. Jesus was very prompt with the estimate and he was able to arrange for himself and his guys to start as soon as they could to ensure project was done on time. They work really quick, don't mind long hours and clean up after themselves, the result of their work is just as I expected. Job well done!!! Will use them again and again.
Description of Work: Jesus and his guys ran 2 inch conduit for low voltage applications (to comply witch city codes) in an office building along with some electrical work- a few outlets, light relocation etc.

Jesus came to provide an estimate for the project. He was the only contractor willing to present an approach to remedy the moisture problem. The other contractors shrugged their shoulders and gave variations of the "not my job" response. Jesus and his crew showed on time and worked to minimize the time we were without power. They were finished on time and power was restored when they predicted. They also identified and completed additional tasks that could enhance reliability within the budget. After they had left we discovered that there was an outlet in one of the units that was shorted out during the work. I called Jesus that evening and he returned the next morning, Saturday, and cheerfully remedied the problem. The service and project were both very satisfactory.
Description of Work: Replace a 4 meter electrical connection box and address excessive humidity/moisture in utility room.

I called to get an estimate on moving our electrical box on the outside of our home. That same day Jesus came out to look at my concerns. He was friendly and professional. He told me that some of our previous electrical work was not quite right and the system wasn't grounded properly. Before he did any other work he would have to correct that first. He called me two days later with an estimate. We decided not to do our original project, but had him come back to ground our electrical system. I called him to tell him our change of plans on a Wednesday and he had two of his workers come out on the following Monday. The workers were friendly and cleaned up any materials they had used or needed to discard. I would definitely use them again.

He replaced the fixture but first made sure that the fixture (600 watts) did not need to be put on a separate circuit. I had thought for certain that it did need a separate circuit but he checked it out and concluded that the addition of new circuit was not necessary. He could have told me that I needed a new circuit but he did not.

My call was returned within the hour. I described the work and Solerio gave me an estimate over the phone. We set an agreed upon date and time and they arrived exactly as planned. They worked quickly and carefully bringing the equipment up in the elevator and assembling the scaffolding. Everything went very smoothly but I felt that the chandelier should hang a bit lower which required some rewiring. The men called Solerio to find out how much more this would cost and when I agreed to the price, they completed the job, cleaned up and even took the fan to storage for me.
Description of Work: Removed a transformer and multiple lights, removed a huge ceiling fan from the center of a 22 foot high ceiling, using scaffolding that they provided, rewired and hung a chandelier in place of the fan, and changed the fan switch to a dimmer for the chandelier.

They were great. Jesus returned my call same day and came out a few days later to look at the work. A couple of days later I got a quote through e-mail as promised. It was significantly cheaper than another quote I had gotten (about 50% of the price the other company wanted that did not include the outside work). It took a couple of calls to arrange the date but him and his two guys came as arranged on a Tuesday morning. A quick chat with me then Jesus gave his final instructions to the guys and he headed out. The work was done quickly and professionally. To cap it all, they were here when a huge thunderstorm hit and suddenly came to tell me that there was water in my basement. We had an idea what was happening and the three of us(well mostly them) managed to prevent a disaster. Close on 7 hours after they came, Jesus returned and I paid him happily. About 30 minutes later the guys finished and cleaned up before heading out.
Description of Work: Moved a chandelier from one room to another, the new room had no ceiling fixture. Installed fan where chandelier had been added 2 outside double outlets.
