Description of Work: we had no power to a wall of outlets in the kitchen. She replaced the GFI switch. Was here on time and finished the job within the initial 15 minute window. Debbie also helped us solve the mystery of our failing lights in the basement and removed a shattered light bulb from one of the fixtures. Professional, knowledgeable, efficient and extremely pleasant!

Description of Work: They corrected some faulty wiring that impacted outlets in both bathrooms and a bedroom. The home is 30 years old and apparently it was just one of those things.

Description of Work: "The work is to be done 3/4/16. I paid $700 today. Great ""customer oriented"". Very knowledgeable ""trade skilled"". Price is the same as other companies BUT Tri-Star gives two inspections and work-up. Most provide one inspection/work-up which is all that is annually required. Yet, a free second inspection is wonderful for older Generators."

Description of Work: Installed under cabinet lighting. Responded quickly to my inquiry for a quote. Price was a little higher then others but accepatable- they were one of the few companies that actually came out to inspect before quoting me a price which was key in selecting them. They were extremely punctual and did a good job on installation. Had offered to adjust a media shelf for me - unfortunately, I realized that after they left they had replaced my coax cable with a longer one (my cable) but did nothing about the too short HDMI cable so I still could not adjust the media shelf. I had also asked them to provide a quote for upgrading my panel box and running electric to a new garage. They indicated that they were late to another job and had to rush out - I never received quote.

Description of Work: Lighting and electric for major kitchen renovation along with hallway and several closets. Dave Crawford (owner) is great at coming up with design ideas and overall the company is very customer focused and great to deal with. Perhaps a bit more expensive than others but the quality is worth it.

Description of Work: Second time I used TriStar. Both times the service was great. This last time I needed the to pull power underneath the kitchen sink so that I could get a garbage disposal installed. They brought the wire up from below the house, installed the switch and capped the line. In and out in about an hour. | |Appointmentvwas easy to setup. They called to confirm and arrived on time. Great job all around. Thank you.

Description of Work: TriStar installed two pendant lights in the kitchen. It went very well. Electrician arrived on time, even delaying vacation to do job for us. She was highly skilled, offered useful suggestions, and did not make a mess. She carefully filled in the drywall after she finished. I highly recommend her and will use her again in future.

Description of Work: They came and serviced my whole house generator. I saw one of their trucks while on I95, and noticed they had an "Angie's List" sticker, and decided to call them. My generator needs to have preventive maintenance done every year. The company that installed it has been unreliable, not showing up, skipping me sometimes, etc., and the result was that at least twice, the generator did not work when needed. TriStar scheduled me promptly and came for the PM, and I have signed up for the annual maintenance plan. They noticed a problem with the conduit and the battery, and they are scheduled to come back for these repairs this week.

Description of Work: I called Tri star because the fan in my rental house's bathroom didn't work and one of the bulbs in the basement kept burning out too fast. Tri star came the same day. They repaired the wiring to the bulb the same day and replaced the fan the next day. I never heard of service that good and at a very reasonable price.

Description of Work: Estimate was done promptly after I phoned. We were putting in six recessed lights in our formal sitting room and under the counter lighting in our kitchen. There was a lot of "fishing" wires through walls and the electricians crawled in the small part of our attic. I got five estimates in total and these folks were in the middle of the pack. The idea that three out of the five estimates were not willing to "fish" through old walls ruled those guys out. Many electricians want to only do work when the walls are down to the studs and still are not willing to retrofit for older homes. Unfortunately, in the DC metro area that is 95% of the housing stock. This electrical company fished through walls and crawled through the yucky part of my attic to run wires for switches and lighting that was well placed in my house (in other words where WE wanted the lights and switches NOT where it was convenient for the electricians). We have done a lot of renovating and of the three elecricians we have hired thus far, these guys are our favorites. They arrived on time, cleaned up after themselves and explained to the curious homeowners (us) what they were doing every step of the way. NO repairs were needed for the plaster 60+ year old ceiling which is unusual if you have had this done elsewhere in your home. We even added one more undercounter fixture (not on the estimate) on the other side of the kitchen and they placed all of these on one switch. The extra work was not that much more $$$ and they had the extra fixture in the truck with them. This add-on ended up being a pain in the you- know -what to install but these guys did not give up. It took an extra hour but now my entire kitchen is well lit with lighting that is on a minimum number of switches. Would recommend these electricians to anyone and we will have them in our home again for our next project- w/o hesitation!
