Colonial Electric came out to assess our house fixtures and outlets. Ed was very friendly and fixed our problem immediately. We are very satisfied and added them to our list of contacts for future home issues.

It went great. Ed came out to see what we needed. Got back to me with a quote in a very reasonable time. We spoke to schedule a date and time. He was there on time. Very Professional. The work looks good. Ed and his employee were both nice. All messes were cleaned up. I will be using Colonial Electric again for any electric work that I might need in the future.
Description of Work: I needed panel work done and a line run for a swimming pool filter.

Fine. Nothing remarkable. Just did the jobs in rotation neatly and efficiently. (We have a long history of good service from this provider.)
Description of Work: Replaced five ceiling fixtures, including a chandelier, 2 wall switches, checked a number of others. Replaced florescent tubing in a ceiling fixture. Reviewed other electrical needs per owner's request. Employed an assistant, and both were efficient, neat and courteous.

A neighbor referred Ed and he responded promptly and professionally. Although Ed's estimate wasn't the lowest, he was the only electrician who said he would patch up the holes in the ceiling that were required to run the wires. A quick sand and paint and ceiling looks good as new. We had him come back to install new lighting in the kitchen a few weeks later. Both times he was professional and courteous and his work is excellent. Sometimes it's hard to find a good, reliable and professional contractor--but I can say we've found one in Ed. We would (and will) use him again. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Installed recessed lighting (1st floor) and installed 3 ceiling fans

Fantastic. I work from home and it was amazing how quiet Ed was while working. He did a fantastic job quickly and thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. He was efficient in scheduling and very reasonable on price. I would trust Ed in my home alone to do work when I am not around. He is a great person and we are happy to have found him.
Description of Work: Took out over head lights and replace with canned lights. Ran wiring and hung ceiling fan on deck. Ran cable line and electric for tv in kitchen, ran electric line for gas stove

Polite. On time. Efficient. The owner, Ed Kramer, and his assistant worked hard. Everything was clean; no mess.
Description of Work: Worked to adjust, clean and repair as needed 6 ceiling fans, including one vaulted on a high ceiling. Installed 2 light fixtures, one needing an electrical box installed in the ceiling and Installed 2 new duplex outlets. The work was well worth the money, the ceiling fans especially had lots of problem that they fixed..

Ed Kramer made an estimation visit with a contractor that I use. About a week later he and another man came over, and the two of them worked together in terrible weather. They were polite, well dressed, put down sheets and used shoe covers to keep from tracking in the snow, and they cleaned up. He explained everything to me and gave me his card.
Description of Work: 2 projects: a de-icing cable along two stories of roof, each about 20 feet long and a surge protector on a breaker box.

He was just incredible. He goes above and beyond of what he needs to do. He sticks by his estimate. One time my lights weren't working and he came out as soon as he could. If you're in a pickle he'll get there.
Description of Work: He was installing lights in my studio and office. He also put in a circuit breaker.

IT WAS A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH THEM. FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW THEY ARE THE IDEAL COMPANY TO WORK WITH. THE WORK WAS DONE EXTRAORDINARILY WELL! THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THEY ARE NOT PHYSICALLY CLOSE TO PERFORM SMALL JOBS.
