The entire job was completed quickly by Brian and his assistant. I was surprised at how quickly the lights were installed. Instead of suggesting that we place 4 recessed lights in 3 of the bedrooms, he honestly recommended that we just use 3 because of the size and configuration of the bedrooms. Another contractor had suggested that we use 4 lights in each room. The 3 lights in each room that Brian installed look great and provide more than enough lighting for the bedrooms. The installation of the new outlet, cable and phone jacks by the fireplace has greatly improved the appearance in our bedroom. We no longer have cables running along the carpet and floorboard. Another contractor had quoted a price that was nearly twice as much as what we paid Land S Electric. Overall two thumbs up and will use again.
Description of Work: Supplied and installed 13 recessed lights and 4 dimmers in four bedrooms. Ran new outlet and moved cable and phone wires from inconvenient location in bedroom wall to location above fireplace so that phone and cable wires did not have to run along floorboard.

The work went very well. He was on time and spent a considerable amount of time working in the front yard to identify the problem with the landscaping lights. I was prepared give up and we would just continue not to use the lights. He utlimately found the problem after considerable effort and hard work. The recessed lights were installed quickly and they greatly improve the lighting in our basement bedroom.
Description of Work: One-half of our outdoor landscaping lights would not work. Brian inspected and tested the lights, searched for the faulty wiring with a monitor and manually pulled up the wire running through the yard, and ultimately found that the original builder had used an inside plastic wire connector which had deteriorated under ground. He installed the right connector and fixed the lights. Brian also installed four recessed lights and a dimmer in our basement bedroom. He also installed a ceiling fan in one bedroom. The cost for the repair and installation work was well worth it.

The guy went above and beyond for his work. He found some sockets in the wall that weren't secured. He actually took out his own materials to fix and secure them for us. That was for no extra charge since it was part of what he did when I asked him to fix the rest of the sockets.
Description of Work: He installed GFCI sockets in our kitchen. He also fixed our polarized sockets.

We've used Brian of Land S Electric before and were extremely pleased with his work and price then. This time was no different. Simply put, Brian and his assistant are exceptionally good, so much so, that we chose to use them instead of our contractor's electrician. Brian gave us an estimate, returned when the bathroom was gutted and ready for wiring, and returned again to finalize everything. He made solid recommendations, which we acted on, was punctual, reliable, and a genuiine pleasure to work with. His work is meticulous and excellent. He even performed some extras without charge. He gets booked up quickly, so we recommend you line him up early!
Description of Work: Complete electrical work for renovated master and hall baths, including all wiring, installiion & material. Master bath: included 2 recessed lights over vanity; recessed light in shower; 2 sconce lights which we bought; dimmer for sconces; 3 toggle switches; timer for fan, 2 outlets, one on wall & one inside cabinet (GFCI). Hall bath: included 1 recessed light, dimmer, new fan, timer for fan & toggle switch.

It was probably the best experience I have had. I was very happy with them. The workers were incredibly efficient. They were very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. They let me know what had to be done. They were very informative and helpful. I would use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used L & S Electric Inc in last summer, probably seven months ago. They installed an outdoor motion light. They modified the location of an outdoor light as well.

Tony is a class act. He came out within a day of calling the office to fix this outlet. We needed our dryer ASAP so he came out as soon as he could to replace the dryer outlet. He also found a problem after testing the dryer and really worked with us to get through the problem. The problem was that we needed to get our dryer vent cleaned and he recommended a quick fix until we could get that done. The dryer would have burned up had he not tried it before leaving. He had the forethought to try the dryer before he left. Thank goodness. He is a caring, family man that wants the best for all of his customers.
Description of Work: Tony had to replace an old dryer outlet because we bought a new dryer that did not fit in the old outlet. He also had to replace the amps in our electrical box. He did a great job. He was quick, efficient, kind and friendly. Highly recommend this business!

Overall, we were very pleased with everything! I called about a month before to set up the appointment (rather than just having them come out to give me an estimate.) I was given an arrival window of 9:30am-10:30am, and they arrived right around 9:30am. They looked over the area to confirm the problem, talked me through the best way to fix it, and then described in detail what they were planning to do, what materials they would use, and about how long it would take for them to complete the job. They ran a new underground wire to our lammpost and placed this underground wire in a protective hard plastic tube so that accidental landscape digging wouldn't cut the wire. They were very careful so as not to disturb too much of the existing landscaping, and any holes that were dug in the grass were repaired and watered. They tested everything to make sure it all worked and had me come back out to inspect the completed job and asked if I had any other questions or concerns. (They also mentioned that we may have to add a bit of grass seed to some of the disturbed grassy areas, but overall it looks fine.) They were very professional and a pleasure to work with. I would definitely use them again and would HIGHLY recommend them!
Description of Work: We needed a new wire run under the ground to our lamppost at the end of the driveway. (The old wire had been cut.),and we needed a new photo sensor installed on our lamppost. We also needed a new outdoor GFCI socket installed because the old one had blown.

The work that they did was fantastic. They are great guys. Not only do they do lovely work but they are really precise and they tidy everything up. One time I had them in the house and I mentioned a little problem that I was having with the electric in my old kitchen and they fixed it for me because they were there. They are really nice guys to have. The only problem I ever have with them is that it can be hard to get them because they are always scheduled far in advance. I would absolutely use them again in the future.

We have used Land S repeatedly over the past few years for a number of complicated electrical jobs. Brian and Tony are terrific in every respect. They not only do the work but think on their feet, coming up with solutions and ideas. Some of their ideas have been really quite elegant. We went through a number of pretty lousy electricians before we found Land S. It's take a while to get an appointment but it's worth the wait. We can't imagine there is anyone better in the DC area.
Description of Work: L&S installed lights, kitchen fan, video intercom, repaired electrical work, updated fuse box, etc.

It went extremely well. Tony performed the work and was able to quickly diagnose and correct the problem with our outlets, and he did a great job installing the Blu-Ray player. He is personable and friendly, and made it clear that customer satisfaction is his number 1 goal. The fee charged was very reasonable, and these guys are very honest and straightforward with estimates and pricing. We will continue to use Land S Electric for our electrician needs and I highly recommend them to others.
Description of Work: L&S Electric came out to: 1) trouble-shoot several electrical outlets that were not working properly; and 2) to install a new Blu-Ray player and hide the wiring as they did when they previously installed a flat screen LCD TV on our wall.

They showed up on time, consulted with us appropriately, were responsive to our questions and gave valuable advice. Excellent work and cleanup afterwards.
Description of Work: They installed ceiling lights (regular, recessed, and a ceiling fan) in bedrooms that had no previous light fixtures, added two new electrical outlets, and changed current outlets to be "hot" rather than connected to a wall switch. On a later date, they also installed an attic fan and installed additional recessed lighting.
