The electrician (Lanny) arrived on time and was very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. He was respectful and wore shoe booties to protect the carpet in my home and also removed and discarded the packaging materials. I would absolutely hire again!

No work was done because I went with a lower estimate for the work required. I want to say though, that Chuck provided me with an estimate in the time he promised. When I needed to change a few items he came back with a prompt revised proposal. I will always consider him for any future electrical projects I need an estimate for.

Two very knowledgable guys showed up at the appointed time to diagose the cause of 60% of our 25 year old landscape lights not functioning. It was a few weeks before Christmas so timing was important as the these lights are an important part of our Christmas decorations. They diagnosed the problem, developed an estimate of cost, and promised to be back within a week once parts were procured. True to the promise they came back and within a few hours replaced some faulty underground wiring and several water damaged terminal boxes. The two guys worked extremely well as a team, were very courteous and the job was completed on time and per the estimate. I would definately call Valleywide again to do future electrical work

Great! The electrician showed up on time, was friendly and polite. They completed the work in the time frame the estimated it would take
Description of Work: I have an older home which doesn't have a lot of outlets in the bedroom so I needed an additional one installed. They provided a free estimate verbally & then mailed me the estimate in writing. I called to accept the estimate & they came out a few days later (on time & completed the work in the amount of time they said it would take). The electrician was very nice & friendly. The cost was $150 but the Angie's list coupon gave me $15 off (10%) so the final cost was $135. They accept credit cards & all I had to do was call in my card # to the home office once the work was completed. I would definitely use them again!

I bought my house about two months ago. The existing electrical panel had 24 circuit breakers all of which were full and in several cases were "double tapped" which is dangerous. I decided to have a new 42 slot panel installed since I plan on upgrading the kitchen and will need the extra power. I called Valleywide based on the recommendation of my realtor and finding them with an "A" rating on Angie's List. Chuck called me back within an hour of my original call. He schedule a walk-through to provide an estimate. He was right on time. He knows his stuff and walk me through what was required. There was a couple of items that he needed to check with the Township on to confirm what they would require. Valleywide handles the permits, which is a great help. His price quote was about what I expected based on the work that was required. It took a while to get the permits, which Valleywide blamed on the Township (I have no reason to believe or doubt their statement based on my lack of experience with them). The install was scheduled and they arrived 20 minute early - since it was going to be a hot long day without power and AC I did not mind at all the early start. The installer looked like he was still an apprentice, but he worked hard and appeared to know his stuff. Chuck was there at the beginning to talk him through all the requirements and another guy came in around lunch to help finish out the job. The finished around 4pm. They took all the old stuff away and left the job site very clean. An added bonus was that Angie's List has a coupon that I used to get $100 off the job. Overall, a very good experience. The only thing that I was unhappy about it that I have only 3 open breaker slots for future use. I was hoping for several more. This was not Valleywide's fault

We had a relatively complex install for our center kitchen light. It went from one ceiling hole to three. The electricians from Valleywide were meticulous in their measurements and the fixture turned out beautifully. Would definitely recommend. We had worked with them before and also had good work done then. Estimates timely, work punctual, good clean up after work, and they help in ordering fixtures so as to help you get the best prices. We did not get competitor bids this time, and while their price was moderate, it seemed fair for the amount of work we had done. This was our second time using this contractor.
