Hired Borges Electric to install a bathroom fan vent. They didn't vent the fan through the roof or through the soffit. They just buried exhaust line in my insulation. This caused mold buildup and eventually destroyed the fan. A real hack job.

Best contractor ever! We needed electrical work (wiring and outdoor panel) for our new hot tub, and Alex and his team were responsive, knowledgeable, punctual, accommodating, and efficient. We've had to deal with many contractors, and Alex, by far, was the easiest to communicate and do business with. He provided a reasonable quote and answered all of our questions. Even better, Borges Electric showed up when they said that they were going to show up to do the work. Highly recommend.

when Alex arrived he was very professional in his suggestions -we had wanted a dual fuel range but it wasn't a real necessity-and being that the power cord had no juice it would be a total redo of the electric-he suggested we would save a lot of money if we just went gas totally-my wife and I discussed it and Alex was right-it wasn't worth all the extra cost-so he did not get the job-but his free advise helped us make a good judgement decision

Alex did a great job explaining the issue to my Mother. Her English is not so good, so he took the time to explain the issue. He went to the store and purchased a new light fixture and installed it. He was great and the price was excellent. I would definitely use him again.

Highly recommend Alex and his team. They were punctual, efficient and got the job done in a timely manner. Alex is super responsive, explains all work that needs to be done upfront, and is competitively priced. Definitely would hire again for future electric work that needs to be done.

Bottom line: great work, shortest lead time possible, lowest price, nice guy to work with We had multiple companies come out to give us quotes on do the electrical work in our kitchen. We started with a company out of Princeton, recommended by a friend, and were shocked by the price. We called another company out of Princeton who was even higher. Still searching, we tried an old local company near us. They were still out of the range we were looking to spend, but we were starting to get used to the idea that we might need to spend the kind of money these people were asking for. We decided call in an electrician from Pennsylvania, figuring they might be cheaper. They were higher still. We were going to give up, but somehow my wife found Alex at Borges Electric. He came over, gave me the lowest quote (by far) had an opening early the week (!!!) and gave me the sense that the job would be done right. I hired him and the work was done well and when promised. He was accommodating, not overcharging for some additional work, but was very reasonable in working with me when some aspects of the job were simpler than expected and some were more involved. I get the sense that many of the other companies would have taken a hard line on some issues and charged significantly more. I think Alex’s company will grow quite a bit over the coming years. Get him while you can!

We called Alex for an estimate and he was able to fit us in right away at a time that was convenient for us. He was very honest, even told us we could hold off on upgrading instead of trying to upsell us. He explained in detail what the job would entail and gave us a quote for the job- not an hourly fee. He is extremely professional, personable and always responsive. His work was perfect, even the inspector was impressed. We confidently recommend him and will call him for all of our future needs.

I confidently recommend Borges Electric. Scheduling a day/ time for service was a breeze, and Alex was very professional. He worked quickly and neatly, leaving my home just as it was before he came. He explained the process as he worked, which only solidified my thought that I went with the right company. I will definitely use him in the future and recommend him to my family and friends. Thank you!

Mr Borges was able to meet the challenge and he replaced the wires and other faulty electrical conditions. The electrical inspector from our town knew that Mr Borges was a very good inspector and trusted him.
Description of Work: We had a fire due to the electrical wires getting over heated. Our house was built in 1810 and there were many challenges to repair the electrical system. Furthermore, the wires were in a place that was not accessible.

Fantastic! Alex Borges (Borges Electric) was punctual, professional and did quality work at a great price. He purchased the outlets from Home Depot, and without even being prompted by us, actually showed us the receipt and charged us the face value of the parts. Not an experience I've often had with some service providers, who can upcharge. He also offered an estimate for the job, not by the hour, which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely be using him again as our go-to electrician.
Description of Work: We needed to start replacing outlets in our home that were no longer holding plugs. Tried doing one myself, but with 3 coaxials coming into the box, felt getting in over my head.

Description of Work: Alex wired all of the electric when we finished our basement, ran a dedicated line for a window unit air conditioner, as well as removed track lighting and put an overhead fixture in an upstairs bedroom.

Alex headed up all the electrical for our basement finishing and then some ceiling fans in our kids' bedrooms. Excellent work, cleaned up, and we felt comfortable having him in our home when we were away. Pricing seemed very fair. No surprise costs added on even though he had to put in a few extra hours and get some extra pieces. The inspector asked who did the work and said that it all looked very good. We highly recommend and will certainly be turning to him first in the future.
