Efficient, prompt, and professional. They communicated well and worked hard the whole day to get everything done (and even made suggestions to improve the functionality of some of our requests). Pricing seemed fair for the quality and extent of work done. Would definitely recommend to friends and neighbors!

Mr Valentine came in very quickly to see what needed to be done and produced a very specific and detailed estimate. He scheduled the work in a timely manner and two men promptly arrived at 7:30 AM on the date specified. They were courteous, professional, liked dogs and worked non stop for 4 hours. They cleaned up after themselves and were off to their next job. Now, what more could anyone ask for? They are not cheap, but neither are their results.
Description of Work: I had quite a few odds and ends that needed to be taken care of: Installation of a vanity light in the bathroom, an additional outlet, an overhead ceiling fixture, installation of outdoor lights, a timer and new outlets in the basement.

i like it that they send someone out to look at the things you want to do and give you and estimate (rather than most other firms i asked they give you an estimate on phone based on guessing how long the work will take and the hourly rate). price is probably not the lowest but the guys i had was professional, went through great deal to keep my floor clean and did neat work.

I contacted Valentine Electric to install a baseboard heater in our basement. The basement would drop into the forties during the winter as it did not have a heating source. Paul appeared very knowledgeable regarding installing basement heating units and made a recommendation right away. We made adjustments to project to fit within our budget and Paul was very accommodating. After reading the reviews we requested to have Carlos and Evan perform the installation. They were punctual and neat. They cleaned up all debris.The unit works great and and satisfies our needs. I would use them again.

They are a little pricey, but they are extremely professional and did the job very well.
Description of Work: I used Valentine Electric for a lot of electrical work. We have had them do a couple of jobs. Our house needed to be rewired after an armature electrical owner prior to us made their own inventions. We've rewired our house and they have put in generator boxes, added circuit breakers.

They are good. We have used them before and we've never had a problem. They are responsive. We had to pay for permits and the plumber of course was extra. They took care of all the permits and they worked with our plumber outside of the generator as well as the insulation.

Called and left a message with the receptionist the owner called me back with in a few hours and gave me an accurate estimate over the phone. He then scheduled an appointment for the very next morning. His technician showed up on time and was very polite and professional and did a quick and very neat job. We have already gotten an estimate for putting reassess lighting in our living room which was very reasonable and we will be doing soon.

Contacted Valentine electric to schedule estimate. Date & time established, Paul Valentine arrived on time. He was very knowledgeable of what I wanted done. He promised a written estimate within 48 hours and delivered on that promise. The Estimate was detailed and complete. Pricing was fair. After review of the estimate I contacted Valentine and asked for a date to do the work. His staff was very helpful with providing the needed documentation so that I could file for the appropriate permit. A date was scheduled for the work. The electrician arrived on the scheduled date, on time and was fully prepared to perform the job. The work was performed in a timely manner exactly as it stated in the contract ( no surprises). The electrician that was sent (Nick) was pleasant and knowledgeable of his trade. When he was finished with the installation he tested the system to make sure it worked properly; it did. Nick cleaned up the work area and was done earlier that I expected. The work was inspected a few weeks later by the electrical inspector and the installation was approved. I will be using Valentine again in the future.

I've been trying for three years to get an electrician to perform work on an additon we built . Until I turned to Angie' s List for a referral, I couldn't even get anyone to inspect the job and offer an estimate. I contacted Mr. Valentine and his office was very prompt in setting-up an appointment. He arrived as scheduled and performed a thouough inspection of the work I needed. Within a few days after I received a written estimate that seemed very fair. We did not use his services because we found another contractor through Angie's List who performed the work at a lesser cost. Due to his professional conduct and his promptness, I will definately keep Mr. Valentine in mind for any future electrical work we mwy need.

The Valentine estimator as well as the installation team arrived on time and completed their work quickly and efficiently. The estimator's knowledge and experience were obvious and inspired confidence in the contractor generally. Unlike estimates from other contractors, the Valentine estimator took a number of pictures of the prospective gas line routing, electrical panel site and generator site. He also provided a follow-up detailed, multi-page description of what would be done and the costs involved. I negotiated a separate contract with the plumber (E. J. Behrens) for $1,750.) The installation team completed their work with minimal disturbance and cleaned up at the end of the project. Following testing, a brief explanation, demonstration and orientation in system operation was also provided.
Description of Work: Provided free, detailed home inspection and estimate, installed new emergency generator, upgraded my electric utility service to 200amps, arranged for excellent plumbing contractor to install a natural gas supply line, coordinated and assisted in obtaining all government permits and inspections. Installation team was very knowledgeable, capable and professional; office administrative coordinator was also very professional and provided excellent communication. Entire operation was very professional and I would not hesitate to use this contractor again. Highly recommended.

To begin with, I liked the professionalism and responsiveness of the Valentine Electric people with whom I spoke. The work done (see above) was completed in 2 visits as something was forgotten during the first. Not a problem - I contacted Paul Valentine, explained the problem and scheduled another visit. During both visits, the 2 electricians who came were polite, careful and efficient, and wore protective footwear so as not to damage the floors; protective covering was also placed across the bed so that no dust wound up in my bedsheets. In between the 2 visits, I received an email from Paul apologizing for the confusion regarding the electrical work and stating that Valentine Electric stood behind all work done for customers. I also received a personal phone call from him after the second visit to make sure I was perfectly satisfied with the work done. I was really pleased with the communications as (1) I don't think I've ever experienced that with a contractor and (2) it seemed the definition of "customer service" which seems to be a forgotten concept in business these days. Paul, I would absolutely recommend you to anyone searching for an electrician.

Response from Valentine Electric Inc.
Valentine Electric Inc., Prides itself on being a quality electrical contractor at a fair and reasonable price. We always tell our customers that our minimum residential service call rate is $150.00 plus sales tax. That rate includes up to one hour of work at your house. That service call rate includes us sending a New York State Approved Journeyman Electrician who has completed a five year apprentice program which includes both classroom and on the job training. This Journeyman will take a fully loaded van from our office to the customers house, preform the service call (up-to one hour) and then has to go to the next job or return to the office. Our company has been in business since 1992 and we have a full office staff. We carry all of the proper insurances and licenses as well as being bonded. We stand behind our work and we will be here and available if something does happen to go wrong. You get all of this for $150.00. The fact that our men were able to identify the problem and make the repair within the first hour should be a good thing. I cannot be expected to discount our minimum service call rate because of the severity of the problem. I still have to pay the men, office staff, insurances companies, bond company, workers compensation, etc. I'm sorry if this customer does not feel it is right, but they were fully aware of our cost before we sent our men. I still believe that you get what you pay for, and quality has a price and in our case I think it is a small price. "Just because we are more efficient and knowledgeable does that mean we deserve less?"

Two workers from Valentine came within the time frame they told me they would. They were professional and friendly. The identified the problem within five minutes and began work to correct it. The job was completed within 45 minutes. The cleaned up after themselves even after I told them I would do it. I couldn't be happier with the work and their service.

Valentine Electric is top-notch every time I have used them. They have previously installed a generator and lighting at our house. They are very professional, and in this instance, assisted me in getting most of the cost of our repairs covered under warranty rather than leaving it to me to try to coordinate with the manufacturer. I highly recommend them.

Carlos and Evan were punctual, very professional. When they arrived Carlos took the time to review what work needed to be done and carefully listened. He provided me with an estimate of what it would cost to replace some parts. The actual cost was a little bit lower. Their workmanship was excellent and at the end of the job the place was clean and tidy and every thing worked as expected. With the 15% off coupon from Angie's list it money well spent. I would definitely use VALENTINE ELECTRIC INC again.
