We bought our home in the fall of 2018, a 100+ year old colonial with great bones and a lot of small projects to take care of. The house had been in the same family since it was built, and we had some older wiring techniques that our home inspector said should be addressed right away. Bill and the folks at Hillcrest Electric were great to work with, fast, and super friendly. Bill explained all of our options for each wiring issue, and gave us some detail about what needed to be updated, what didn’t, and why. They even came back without charge when a small secondary issue popped up a week later. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Someone came out and surveyed the work I needed done prior. This allowed them to provide me with an estimate. Once the estimate was received, I booked an appointment. It was a bit far out from when I booked it (Booked June, work done Aug.) but the work I needed done wasn't urgent, so that was fine. Prior to them coming, I emailed changing some of the things I needed one. They were very prompt with replying. The day of, one of the electricians was sick, so I only had one. He warned me he might not get everything done as a result. Turns out it wasn't a problem. He accomplished everything I needed done. He cleaned up after himself and checked with me when certain jobs required him to have to open the wall (only a very tiny bit).

Repair necessitated finding a junction box hidden under vermiculite insulation in our attic, and subsequently using a saw to cut a floor board to have full access to the box below. It was not obvious how to solve the problem, and where to find a junction box that might be the answer to the problem.

We've always liked them. My son uses them and my sister uses them now too. We've been happy with them. It was a huge chandelier. He was very, very careful. We had towels and a box. He took down 4 chandeliers. My sister paid the bill because she was executor but she said he was very reasonable. Very good. They give you a time and they come between that time.
Description of Work: He had to take down the chandeliers. I have yet to put them up. My husband doesn't want them. I've got to have them back again.

I had Bill install a pole light in the driveway and a heavy duty light fixture in the house. He and his assistant came when he said that he would, cleaned up all debris and did an overall great job for a reasonable price! I highly recommend him and his company.

As with previous projects, Bill and his team were professional, knowledgeable, fair, and a pleasure to work with from initial inquiry to final clean-up. I will call Hllcrest for all future electrical work and recommend them to friends.

Bill was very prompt to provide an excellent estimate. Unfortunately we could not close on this house ... the deal fell apart (because of other issues) but we will definitely contact Bill for any electrical work we need . We are actively searching for our new home and hopefully will find something in next couple of weeks.
Description of Work: We are trying to buy a house. Had an inspection for a house and we contacted Bill for an estimate for converting fuse panel to Circuit Breaker and convert some of the 2 prong outlets to 3 prong.

I never heard from him again, despite emailing him the cable clip measurements the next morning and following up with another email and at least one phone call. I wouldn't have had a problem if he'd told me after seeing the jobs when he came to the house that he didn't want to do the work, but I can't understand someone telling me he'd send me an estimate (and accepting my offer to take the measurements on the roof in order to give him more details) and then failing even to let me know he wasn't going to give an estimate. All he had to do was hit "Reply" on one of my emails and tell me that. Instead, I was left waiting until I finally realized I wasn't going to hear from him.
Description of Work: The owner came to give me an estimate for two jobs, installing snow melt cables on a flat root and providing a generator. We discussed both jobs in detail, and he gave me helpful information about them. Since the roof still had some snow on it, so we didn't want to go out on it that evening, I volunteered to go out on the roof the next morning and measure the locations of the cable clips that a roofer had installed and send him the measurements (which I did). He said he'd send me an estimate for the jobs.

They were okay--half of their work was okay and half was sloppy. They had to put in a cable receptacle in one of the walls and it required them some carpentry skills. They chipped a lot of the wood and their work turned out to be bad. They showed up on time and did fine on the electrical part of the work though. Their prices were relatively high but not unreasonable.

We think they are wonderful. They were on time for their scheduled appointments. They were very friendly people. Their quote was what the bill was. They were very thorough. They helped us think about how we wanted to pick our lights for our new kitchen. They were just wonderful wonderful couple of guys that were there. We spent a couple of thousands with them, but that was because our house needed to be upgraded. I would grade their price, responsiveness, punctuality and professionalism as "A+."

The entire experience was positive and I would use them again. Their quoting was professionally done (and competitive), follow-up relatively punctual, and actual service met expectations. They offered good advice on choice of bathroom fans, showing they knew what they're talking about. They seems very candid and forthright. There was a bit of a wait between acceptance and execution of the job, but I think that reflects that they are busy... and must be doing something right.
Description of Work: Installed 2 bathroom fans, 1 ceiling fan, 1 ceiling light fixture and repaired an outlet.

We've used Hillcrest several times in the last year for various services: installing chandeliers/dimmers, relocating outlets, and creating new outlets. We've been pleased every time as they have been easy to work with, efficient, and professional. The prices we've paid also seem very fair. We plan to hire them more in the future.
