It's hard to find words to describe this company other than predatory or extortionists. I was getting an inground pool put in and requested an estimate for the electrical. I did need it on a relatively tight timeline. Specifically, I needed bonding and grounding for the pool, wiring of 1 light, 120v auxiliary outlets by the pool, pool heater, pool pump, and salt water system. I suggested putting an outdoor sub panel in by all the equipment (immediately next to the house with an easy run to the main panel in an unfinished basement) to simplify the job. The trenches were all already dug by the pool company so there was no digging involved. For the job, they wanted nearly $16,000. I honestly thought it was a typo at first and that they maybe put an extra 1 at the beginning by accident. This quote made no sense. I called to check in and they confirmed that indeed, the cost was nearly $16,000. I ended up doing the job myself for under $1,500 in materials and about 2 days work. I have absolutely no idea where they came up with that number. When the electrical inspector came out to check my work he almost threw up when I told him what was quoted. Disgusting. I've attached a screenshot of the actual quote (non-itemized because I guess it's easier to rip people off that way). Steer far away from this company. VERY far.

Very professional about answering the phone, keeping appointment, and doing the work neatly and efficiently. They are a bit pricy, however. I agreed to the estimated price in order to get everything done the same day, thinking it must be more difficult than I had figured. Turned out not to be complicated and it took just under two hours for 2 technicians to complete both the estimate and the job.

They were prompt, worked efficiently, and cleaned up afterwards. They had me test all the outlets and lighting and explained all their work in detail. I now have new electricians. A+. Thanks Mike for your crew - Randy, Peter and Chris!
Description of Work: Mike came and gave me an estimate and suggestion of the work that I needed for my basement. I had a renovation that was bad and the contractor had removed outlets and cut wires. B&K Electric installed 7 new outlets, recessed lighting, secured all the cut wires into boxes, fixed the misplaced thermostat into a more appropriate place, installed new lighting and switch for the unfinished part of the basement (they added this in the job for free), installed a closet light, put the outlets on 2 circuit breakers knowing I was planning to use part of the space for craft projects, installed a GFI for my laundry area (another freebie) and more.

The technician arrived on time. He was very polite. He is a knowledgeable and skillful person. He replaced garage light bulb, and replaced two electrical outlets. We worked together to get the electric box labeled, but he made too many trips back to his truck to get tools and accessories which let me feel he was not efficient. If I have electrical work in the future, I will still consider to hire them.
Description of Work: I purchased a “big deal” ($79 for one hour of electric work) through the site. They responded quickly, and the scheduling was prompt. The technician labeled the electric box, replaced garage light bulb and replaced electric outlets.

Mike and his crew were extremely responsive to my every wish, and the job was done with minimal interruption to my electric service. The resulting equipment was really nice, and seemed to be a great value. I can be a bit demanding, and I get the impression that Mike and his company are anxious to see that I am satisfied, and they will stand behind their work. I have read the few recent less-than-great reviews his company received (which are not reflective if the majority of the reviews). I feel that they do not fairly portray either his work or his attitude. Mike and his company do fine work, and they want to make you happy.
Description of Work: Upgraded my electric to 200 amps, replaced meter housing and outside wiring, and installed a 40 circuit breaker box to replace my ancient fuse box.

|Showed up at 10am, shook hands and agreed on price of $1200. Said could be done now, take all day. I went x-mas shopping, left check on door in case I wasn't back by 3. They called at 2:30 stating work done. Told them check on door. Got home at 3pm but no receipt or itemized bill of work done. Waited 2 weeks, nothing in mail. Called and left message. Waited 2 weeks, nothing. Called and got someone that said the bill was $250 more and that the guy I shook hands with on price should not have done that. He said he would talk to his brother-in-law and send me itemized work done to my email...month later...nothing. I needed it for taxes. I missed out on tax deduction. (a loss of $400)

Response from B&K Electric
Hello [remove member name], We wanted to respond and apologize for how you felt about the overall experience you had with B&K Electric. There was an agreed upon price of the $1200 but that was just for the labor and did not include the materials. All jobs that we quote upfront is just labor and does not include materials due to not knowing what they will be upfront. The electrician Chris you had spoke to did leave an invoice exactly where you had left the check. We apologize for the emailed invoice that you never received from us. After researching the email that was sent we had a letter off on the email address you had given. We should have caught that mistake but unfortunately did not. We are happy that you did like the work we had done for you and do hope that you will understand the other mishaps that occurred. As a family business that has been around for only 3 years we strive to make our first time customers our life time customers and take these negative reviews very serious. We do not want to make excuses for our mistakes and take all negative experiences as a way to improve our business. We enjoyed the time we had working for you and appreciate the business you provided. We hope that you consider us in the future for your electrical needs.
