Terrific. Anthony, Mike, and Paul were all very professional. I made a few decision mistakes and Rein fixed them perfectly. Finished product is perfect. We own many retail stores, the Rein team has done installations at 3 of them and they are all done as hoped. Really great work.

Paul and MIke were great to work with. Mike came out to review the issues and was able to immediately fix half of the undercabinet lights. The remaining needed to be rewired and required Paul to come back and pull a new wire through the wall to the fixture. Both were very nice, respectful, and clean. They would text updates on their arrival time and were great to work with. I'd highly recommend them.

They gave us a very reasonable (free) estimate for the work which was much better than another contractor. The work was excellent. The two electricians clearly knew exactly what was needed and the installed conduits look clean and professional. We didn't even need to move any personal items out of the way to allow room for them to work. Both electricians were very pleasant and friendly. We passed inspection the next day without any problems.

Having purchased a foreclosure, the amount of work needing to be done at this house is off the charts. We've had tons and tons of contractors come through here, and without question, Rein Electric has been at the top of the list of who we've dealt with. Extremely kind employees, professional and incredibly efficient, fair-priced, quality work. They are my go-to electricians for the rest of my life. We are very, very happy. Great work Mike and Paul and the other guy (forgot his name, but didn't want to leave him out)!

Moving to a new condo and needed some grounds and neutrals separated on my electrical panel and an outlet installed for TV mounting. Rein was responsive to my messages and promptly arrived for the appointment. Super efficient and quality work, courteous professionals. Best of all, the total cost came in under the initial estimate!

Top-notch company throughout the process. Bid was efficient and accurate. Communication with Mike and Anthony was excellent for scheduling in advance. On-site electricians Jason and Paul were great to work with, easily accommodating special requests and working quickly and neatly. They ran new electric circuits into every unit of our multi-unit building just as planned in three days.

Fantastic work, wow. Even in our front room where our front bay window is a bit offset from the center of the room due to an HVAC bulkhead, Paul suggested centering the lights in line with the window for it to look right, and wow does it ever. Very professional, courteous, and helpful with all questions. This is the second time I've used Rein and I'm still a happy and satisfied customer, and we will be using them for some basement work here in the next month or two as well. Keep up the great work.

Response from Rein Electric Inc
This Angie'[Member Information Removed] List member called our office looking for a quote to install 3 light fixtures. We gave her a quote range and our hourly prices over the phone as a job like this is pretty typical for us. She told our office that she was most comfortable with us out of the 3 Angie'[Member Information Removed] List electricians that she spoke with but still wanted an on site estimate. Sure no problem! We booked appointments for her, the on-site estimate and an installation date. When I got there no idea what she was doing or what to buy. The parts she did have were almost all the wrong ones and needed to be returned. I spent 40 minutes with this woman shopping online, picking out all the parts she would need and going over all her options, trying to find the best solution for her budget. At the end of the appointment she started trying to haggle me on the price when she already knew and agreed to the pricing before I even arrived. I explained to her that we were too busy and I didn't care what the average going rate was. (I know we aren't the cheapest but there'[Member Information Removed] several electricians that charge way more than us here) The price I gave her was more than fair. Her lighting project was more of a custom job as the light fixtures she purchased were going to have to be modified to work. Plus all the extra help she needed picking out the right materials. We love to help our customers and I'll shop all day long with you at no extra charge but please don't take our knowledge and expertise and run with it to some cut throat electrician. We run a very professional shop and have well trained electricians that work super hard and make good money. I wasn't condescending, I wasn't rude, I was just firm with you. I find it extremely ironic that you think I wasted your time.

It went great. We weren't sure how they were going to get up to our tall ceilings, but they managed just fine. We had some complicated fixtures too - a series of 18 individual pendants that needed to be artfully arranged. They did great, and had a good process to keep the place pretty neat as they worked. It was a big job, with a total of 6 fixtures, 4 new switches, and rewiring so that what was previously a on/off outlet for a lamp is now a real overhead fixture. We are happy with the outcome.
Description of Work: Installed new lighting fixtures and switches, and replaced some existing. 17 ft ceilings were no problem for them.

Staff was great, easy to schedule , provided text when on the way and actually able to come earlier than planned. Staff was friendly, efficient, patient and helpful in assuring "mom” that all was fine with household and explaining that light switch was associated with outlet and in latter case that surge protector was the problem. Lighting works great and positioned in a manner that we had not considered and looks great, mom reassured all is well and one very appreciative family that would recommend again :)

I was most impressed with Rein Electric. The person who came to do the estimate was very professional, knew the applicable codes and made smart recommendations. Two workers were here to do the work, Paul & Jason. Both were personable, professional, and competent. They took care of the list we had, much of it from the inspection report before we bought the house three months ago. They worked from 9:00 until almost 6:00 to finish all those projects. I will use them the next time I need any electrical work done.

We hired Rein Electric to do various electric projects around our house including removing existing fluorescent lights and replacing them with flat panel LED lights in our laundry room and garage, wiring for and installation of an outdoor light, light fixture installation, vent fan installation, and outlet installation. The workers who came to our house were skilled and very professional. When we ran into some unforeseen issues with a couple of the light fixture installations, we called Anthony Rein and he was very responsive and addressed our concerns right away and to our satisfaction. Overall we had a good experience, and we would hire Rein Electric again.

It went very well. I had requested that Manuel give a heads-up call when he headed for my house, and he did. He arrived promptly on time, looked at the old and new light fixtures, and began work immediately. He knew what he was doing, did an excellent job, and was professional and friendly. I'm happy with the new fixtures and will call Rein Electric next time my house needs an electrician.

Rein team did everything I expected (create doc for permit, accomplish all work, supervise the successful inspection). Anthony Rein was responsive to all my questions, easy to to schedule and quick to make adjustments to the proposal as I requested. The team that did the work came exactly at the appointed time, ready and capable. They were also nice, professional and precise in their work. Rein was also the most competitive bid. I would happily recommend Rein to friends.
