Multi-year Angie's List Super Service Award winning company that specializes in re-wiring projects and panel upgrades.
Bentley Electric was established in 1950 by my Dad, Vernon Bentley. While in high school in Corvallis Oregon, I started helping out with the family business to make extra money. Working as an electrician’s helper, I began to see the “trades” were a good way to make a living, but was not so sure about doing the same work as my Dad. Wanting something different, I proceeded to get my associated degree in HVAC.
Well, it turned out heating and cooling work was not for me. I entered the electrical apprenticeship program, and in 1984, bought Bentley Electric.

Description of Work: Everything! We decided to put a house on top of our house. In retrospect it was a much more intense job than we imagined. The vast majority of the contractors we hired (architects, structural engineers, concrete, plumbers) all s*** the bed in one way or another. We fired our first electrician. He was a good guy, but the bid made no sense. This is where Bentley stepped in. The entire bid for a second floor addition was planned out and itemized. I knew what every single outlet and switch was costing me. In the end we re-did the entire house with Bentley and we could not be happier. It was a massive job and Jay and Patrick killed it. Thank you guys!

Description of Work: I had them relocate two switches from one wall around the corner to another to allow for installation of a new bar. I also had them drop in a new GFCI receptacle from a junction box. The electrician who came out was the same electrician who came out when I first found and used Bentley Electric on an Angie's List deal. He arrived a few minutes early, finished quickly and cleaned up (vacuumed and wiped down the wall). They are a class business and highly ethical. While I wish all electricians' prices were lower, Bentley is on par with the electricians in the area.

Description of Work: Installation of bathroom fan. I had an Angie's list coupon for $129 for two hours. When I made the appointment. I explained the house was a 1950s house and that the fan would be put in the ceiling through the attic. I was told that it would be a couple of hours. The person who came out did not seem to be knowledgeable about "older" homes and at least 10% of the time the electrician was talking to the owner and determining what he could do and how to do it. The electrician at first determined he could not install the fan because of the old wiring and it was complex (after talking with the owner). So I was going to have him put in another outlet and have him check some wiring. After about 45 minutes and talking more with the owner, he said he could put the fan in, but it couldn't be where the light fixture was the old wires were too brittle. I really didn't understand why the wires to the light fixture could not just be replaced since he ran the new wiring from the attic. I finally said for him to go ahead. When he was done, he only had a metal plate to put over where the light fixture had been. The light on the fan goes on and then dims and the fan, which is a quiet one, is load. The fan casing can move when pushed. He also did not know I had an Angie's List coupon and had to call the owner about pricing. |The owner did call by trying to remedy the situation by saying he would come to look at it. The same guy called to come out ... so I said no thank you.

Description of Work: Hired Bentley Electric on 6/20/14. I had them replace 5 outlets inside the house, a dimmer switch, a smoke detector. Outside the house, I had an outlet replaced and two outdoor lights replaced. In the garage, I had three outlets replaced and had wiring checked as well. I would give this company a "A" and I most definitely would re-hire them.

Description of Work: I had a full panel replacement (during bid found that my panel was banned and hazardous) plus added outlets and fixture for a remodel.

I called Bentley Electric to finish installing a ceiling fan after a handyman I'd hired to do work around the house got in over his head and was unable to complete the job. John, the electrician who came to do the install was very polite and professional. While the install didn't go as smoothly as I would have liked (due to defects in the fan I'd purchased) I was not charged more than the original quote (which was very reasonable). John really went the extra mile to ensure that I was happy with the finished product. I would use Bentley Electric again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Installed fan box and ceiling fan.

When I first contacted Jay, he returned my call later the same day. He made an appointment to come out the next day to give me his bid, and he arrived on time. When he arrived the day the work was to be done, he was about 15 minutes early. We spent about 10 minutes discussing where the new lights and wiring were to be placed in the barn. He did not waste any time. While we were talking, he was already dismantling some of the old wiring. I had to leave for an appointment, so I left him alone for about two and a half hours. When I returned, he was almost done in the barn and it was an amazing transformation from the old wiring that was there before. He finished up in the barn, and we discussed where the gfci would be placed for the new spa and where the new 50 amp wire would go through the side of the house for the best aesthetic. He was very accommodating when it came to understanding that. He finished up about an hour later, and cleaned up after himself. He walked me through everything that he had done, and how everything worked. It was the first time that I have ever had to hire and electrician. I am glad the process went so smoothly.
Description of Work: They installed a 50 amp circuit, wiring, and gfci for a future hot tub, and a whole house surge protector for the house breaker panel. In the barn, along with bringing the existing wiring up to code, they intalled a 30 amp circuit, new lighting, a new outlet, and new switches for the new and existing lighting.

He provided us with a detailed quote over the phone, understanding what was needed and was familiar with the brand of lights we purchased (Juno). He was able to schedule the job within a few days and did an excellent job on the installation. This was a fairly simple operation but I wouldn't hesitate to call Jay back for a complex job (and probably will when we do some more remodeling we're planning).
Description of Work: Jay installed three recessed lights for our living room (attic access), rewiring a amateurish installation of pendant lighting by a previous homeowner.

I had an old breaker box in my basement that had become a fire hazard. So I contacted Bentley Electric to install a new one. They were reasonably priced and professional. There was a little bit of miscommunication in regards to the initial quote, but they took care of it. They're cleaning was adequate. I would definitely have them back again. They were short a breaker and I was impressed that the installer came back in the evening on his own time to install it.
Description of Work: Bentley Electric installed a new power distribution panel in the basement of my house.
