The entire company was great. From the people on the phone who schedule the services to the service people themselves. Things I loved: they make their policies clear on the phone. They are able to perform services the day they arrive for the estimate. The electricians who came out were both so polite and knowledgeable! The work was done so well. Their people are background checked and certified. They have a policy about leaving everything as they found it! No big messes to clean up after they leave! I will definitely hire them back. It was more expensive than I thought it would be, but the quality of their work was evident.

Great. The only issue was a misunderstanding about price. Bruder agreed to the price as I understood it and I'm a happy camper.

Bruder electric came to my house on very short notice, addressed several issues, educated me during the process, made recommendations for future electrical work without a heavy sell, and charged a reasonable price!

I apologize about the poor response that you received for your quote. Unfortunately I did personally drop the ball on getting your proposal. We did reach out to you and apologized for not getting it to you in a timely manner and asked if you still wanted our quote and you graciously said yes. I want to thank you for at least allowing us the opportunity to present it to you. Thank you for your honesty in this review, we will use this incident to train and make adjustments so that it does not happen again. It is truly our goal at Bruder Electric to provide you with the best service experience possible.

Very satisfied with all these projects. I did review Bruder Electric at the time that this work was done in 2011. I have also used them for minor additional electrical work since then. They are very reliable and professional. Their rates at the time were very competitive and they charge by the task (not by the time it takes).
Description of Work: Electrical upgrades to a home that we had just purchased. Adding exhaust fans to bathrooms. Adding ceiling fans in 5 rooms Adding cable TV & phone outlets in multiple rooms Installing large light fixture in entrance hallway Upgrading basement electrical system to code (GFCI protection) Adding surge suppression to existing 200 amp service

They did great work. The owner is a very professional businessman. They have attention to detail. The people that he brings over are excellent workmen. We would welcome them back here anytime. They're timely. They give accurate although somewhat pricey service. They give accurate estimates. Their workers are smart and they know what to do. They do a good job all the way around. I have no complaints with them at all. It's a fair price but in a high end of the range.
Description of Work: They were here last January to service the generator which they had installed. Every year, they come for an annual maintenance.

When I asked them for some specific costs, the guy realized he was raping me and wouldn't give me the details. That was totally unscrupulous. We parted ways and they never did the work. They ripped through their proposal.

I want to thank you for the review. I had to dig hard to remember a job that happened over two years ago, but most of it came back to me. I do understand how you could feel that we pulled our quote from you because we were hiding something and I apologize if I gave you that impression. We presented you with a complete and fair proposal for the work that you requested. The proposal had the exact amount of your investment if you were to choose to work with us. We have always had a company policy that we do not separate or breakdown our pricing to parts and labor. In past companies that I worked for before I stared Bruder Electric it always lead to more problems than it was worth. Customers would try to negotiate our labor, beat down our costs of parts or supply the parts themselves and then expect us to supply lists and also guarantee them. I actually pulled our proposal due to the parameters of the work changing and if my memory is correct, it was more of a timing issue for us. Both me and my subs felt that we couldn't get the work done in that timing due to the size of our companies and available manpower. We felt it was better to let the job go then to chance not working to your expectations. I'm sorry for the confusion I may have caused you. Bruder Electric never claims to be a "cheap charlie", but we will never as you would say "rape" a customer. We believe that our customers deserve the best job at a good value and we stand behind that with our industry leading guarantees. Thanks again for your review, I will use it as a training tool so that we don't leave a customer feeling like they were being treated dishonestly.

They did a good job. They had to put scaffolding up and they did an excellent job. It was a lot of work and they had to build the scaffolding so that they could do the work. They knew what they were doing and came with everything that they needed. They did the job quickly. They were a little costly, but I got what I paid for. The quality of work was excellent. I would use them again if I needed any electrical done.

It went great. The only issue we had was it was more expensive than we thought it was going to be. We didn't understand what he was saying about the cost and he ultimately reduced his price to what we both agreed on. It was very satisfactory. They did an A job. Everything was the best other than at the very end, there was a misunderstanding of price. They were neat. They seemed to know what he was doing. When we had an issue with the lighting, they came up with an idea that worked. Everything was great. The only issue was the misunderstanding about the cost. The price was a little on the high side. We would use them again.

Technician Tom came out (arrived 30 minutes later) and immediately discovered the problem and fixed it. Turns out one of the outlets on the line because disconnected and all he needed to do was re-connect the wire. My issue with this is he didn't tell me what the problem was or what the repair or cost would be until AFTER he re-connected the wire, at which point he had the nerve to present me with a $295 bill. Almost $300 for 5 minutes of work, not a bad business to get into! Had Tom told me in advance that he would charge me $295 to re-connect the wire, I would have paid for the service call and sent him packing. To charge a customer (a new and potential life-long customer) almost $300 to connect a wire that became loose is borderline criminal. I had sent correspondence to the company owner, Rick Bruder, to express my dissatisfaction but that has, so far, been ignored. Very unprofessional. I will never use this company again.

When I challenged the markup on the generator, Bruder Electric withdrew its bid. They only want naïve customers.

Rating CategoryRating out of 5

Response from Bruder Electric
[Member Name Removed], I apologize for not responding sooner to this. I just saw your review. I totally understand how you would think I was trying to hide something from you with the generator markup. The reason we withdrew our bid wasn't because of you asking for a breakdown of my costs in parts, labor and markup as you did, it was because as time went on we didn't feel that we would get the job completed in the timely manner that you were requesting. We actually have a company policy that we don't break down our pricing and I'm not ashamed or afraid to share that. I would never ask a store or a restaurant or a car dealer to break their products down and I never understood why contractors would do it. We provide our clients with an up front, exact amount for completing the whole job. That price NEVER changes unless the scope of the work changes, even if we run into issues that we didn't foresee. Truly that is not a formula for wanting naive customers, that's being totally honest and up front guaranteeing no surprises at the end of the job. I apologize again for not expressing that to you at the time, but quite frankly that possible scenario never entered my mind. I have always prided myself as being open and honest with my clients, that's why we never do any work without providing the exact amount first. I hope this helps explain things a little better. God bless you. Rick Bruder

Response from Bruder Electric
[Member Name Removed], First of all I would like to thank you for the privilege to serve your electrical needs. I'm sorry that you were dissatisfied with the cost of the bath fan installation. I did go back over the paperwork and saw that our tech did give you a discount of 15% for that particular task. Also, as per our company policy, you were given the exact amount of your investment before we started the work and I see that you approved it before the work was started as well. We never want our clients upset over pricing and that is why we disclose that ahead of time. If you would have asked our tech why it was so much for the work, I'm sure he would have explained what the process is for installing your fan. We have a lot of people who usually think the job is easier than it is and after we explain the procedures they understand a lot better. I'm so sorry for your disappointment, if you ever would give us another chance, I will be happy to give you a 10% discount on your future invoice. I hope this helps. Have a blessed day, Rick Bruder

They're very punctual and very nice. They do a good job. I think they're fairly reasonable plus they're local. I have aluminum wiring and they were very up on that. They knew exactly what to do with it. They were extremely good about that and that's why I used them.

I have been using them for 6 or 7 years so they have done a lot of different jobs for us and every time the work was done right. I stay with them because they are good with service, punctuality and efficiency. Their quality of work is excellent. Once or twice they have not been on time because they have been out on emergencies.
