Excellent, called ahead and arrived on time, reviewed requirements and explained necessary repairs, friendly and professional at all time, completed work in a timely manner, explained final repairs, and payment process. Generally cared about protecting our flooring as they were moving throughout the house and maintained COVID-19 masking requirements. Will hire them again and recommend them to friends and family

The salesperson that came to look at the job/s was extremely professional. He helped me fix and overhead light and changed all of my kitchen recessed lights during our meeting. The price he quoted was $700.00 less then Mr. Electric. The work was completed the next day. They electricians were great. The only reason I didn't give an "A" on quality is because when they replaced a GFI with a new bright white switch, they left the old dingy ivory switch plate on it. It is a totally eye sore. i would have paid the extra for a new white switch plate. I didn't notice it until they left. I would have certainly said something. Great job over all. I would use again!
Description of Work: 1 light installed. 1 GFI replaced. 1 switch changed and 1 overhead light looked at.

Things went well. Russ Piper came out and met with me - to see what the project entailed. Meeting went well, I fully understood what they were going to do. I got a quote back quickly and moved forward with it. When the plumber (Plumb Crazy)came out to see what needed to be done, I had some options . I decided to have a higher service line brought into the home - now BGE is involved. Without further stories - it took many weeks to get BGE to install the higher service, Throughout, this process, Benfield and the plumber where checking in with me for progress. And when the inspections where all complete - they came right out and finished the installation.
Description of Work: Installed a whole house generator. I had already purchased the generator, so he needed to install it to the house and do all the electrical, install a new sub-panel, set the generator level and supplied a gravel pad, took care of permits. Took care of contacting a plumber.

I am a BIG fan of Benfield Electric. I have used them at my prior home for more than 14 years. In fact, they installed an outside generator at that house for us and maintained it through the years. I only wish they serviced the area we now live in because I have such trust in their workmanship. I highly recommend them!!!
Description of Work: We were prepping our house to put on the real estate market and needed all of the roof lined outside flood lights replaced. Each corner of the house had a device attached it. The one device worked also as a motion detector but was broken. They replaced that fixture, tightened all of the other fixtures, put in new bulbs and confirmed that everything worked properly.
