Very pleasant small business with which to work. Everything was done exactly as promised. Very straightforward. Crew showed up on time and worked until the job was complete. Did a particularly nice job from a cosmetic perspective; made sure that cuts through drywall and routing of wires were done as efficiently as possible. When they left, there was nothing for me to patch or paint which was a very pleasant surprise. No problems with any of the deliverables. Very nice crew as well.
Description of Work: Install subpanel and electrical wiring for outdoor hot tub, add outlets to exterior, fix small electrical issues in house.

Arrived on time, got right to work. They are professionally expert and personally friendly, and determined to provide excellent service. They are proud of their good work. The same company did a larger job for us about eight years ago and we were equally delighted then with their performance, in every respect. If you are a homeowner looking for a reliable, expert electrician for repairs or a new installation, call Contract Electric. They are outstanding.
Description of Work: Our problem required some detective work to figure out just where the problem lay. Norm and Dave are real experts and they identified and corrected the problem within an hour.

I've used Contract Electric multiple times, and they are terrific. Gordon, the owner, came out to do the estimate, and then came the day of the job to explain it to his 3 employees who did the work. Very friendly and professional. Final cost was exactly as estimated. I haven't priced out work with other electricians since Contract Electric was recommended to me, so I don't know if they're absolutely the lowest cost out there, but I am completely satisfied, and I really like being able to support a small, mom and pop business. Highly recommend them and will absolutely use them again!
Description of Work: Ran electrical hookups for new dishwasher and garbage disposal, replaced many switches, plates, etc, troubleshoot problem with outlet, miscellaneous other items.

The firm did excellent work in all respects. They explained each and every step, and provided a comprehensive written estimate. The owner of the firm came to our home on the day of the work to confirm the scope of the work. Three employees of the firm performed the actual work. The work took all morning but they quality of the workmanship was excellent. We intend to use the firm for other electrical work in the future.
Description of Work: Contract Electric installed three light fixtures, two bathroom exhaust fans, recessed lighting, electrical socket and repaired a non-working recessed light.

The work went extremely well. They were very responsive to our requests and came out exactly when they said they would. The owner had a sense of electrical design and knew where to put in fixtures. It is a family owned company; wife, husband and son all work together which I very convenient. They are very prompt and they use very good quality fixtures and lights. Overall they are very pleasant to work with.
Description of Work: Contract Electric put in recess lights and changed some light fixtures about three weeks ago.

They had to run wiring in the ceiling in order to install several recessed lights in the family room. Contract showed up right on time, did the work required, and cleaned up after themselves. They even installed a dimmer switch to handle the lights. When we had concerns later about warmth around the switch, Contract was there within the hour and measured the heat generated. They determined that the level was normal.
Description of Work: They installed recessed lighting in our family room.
