Dennis and his team are fantastic. I have had Emerald State Electric come out to our house on multiple occasions to help get new outlets installed for everything from ceiling fans to new kitchen construction. They have been responsive to requests, show up when expected, and their work has been consistently excellent. If and when I need electrical work done again, I'll be calling them back.

We couldn't have been more pleased with the way the job went. Brady responded to our initial outreach immediately and met us at the site later that same day. He quickly grasped the scope of the project and our need for a speedy completion. He started work the day before he predicted he would and finished the job on the day he promised he would. The work was done in a very professional manner. I didn't have a chance to meet Dennis, but did have occasion to deal with him on the phone and through e-mails. We was also very professional and very good to deal with.
Description of Work: We needed to make some electrical repairs (New panel, new mast, a number of new outlets, etc.) in order to sell our 55 year old house. We were pressed for time, as the closing date was looming near

The electrician Brady, showed up on time each day or let us know of any delay. He worked hard while on the job. He was very careful not to damage the walls when he was replacing the wall boxes and running wire. He let us know of any damage or areas of concern. He also made sure that we had power in the house when he left for the evening. The job was completed on schedule and on budget. Brady did an excellent job while working and cleaned up after the job. There was a concern about the wiring when we had people come to insulate our house, Dennis & Brady responded the same day to the concern that there was still live wire. Brady tested the circuits and those wires were dead. I have already told others about the excellent service Emerald State Electric did for us. I would not hesitate to call them again for any electrical work. We have had issues with other contractor before. They exceeded our expectations and were pleasant to work with.

They gave me a fair estimate. When they came out it was more work than what was anticipated. The employee did a nice job with the extra work, with no extra charges. I was very happy about that. They did a wonderful job.

We were told by another contractor that our electrical box was shot and would need to buy a new $5000 electrical box. The Emerald State contractor (Dennis) we dealt with said this was not necessary. He said all we needed to do was to replace and reroute a few breakers. He did this for us at a fraction of the cost of the new electrical box. Thank you Emerald State Electric, You are my go to guys for all electrical problems.

Emerald City Electric has been absolutely fantastic to work with. I recently purchased a home with some electrical issues and Dennis took the time to walk me through the options that I had to improve the safety of the existing wiring, as we continue to work through the process of rewiring this home. For the work itself Brady has been phenomenal. The panel replacement took two days due to the age and construction of the home, but Brady worked to ensure that we were not without power overnight. His work was clean and quick and professional. When the new electric panel didn't fix the dead outlets in the laundry room I had Brady come back to add two circuits and replace a few outlets in the rest of the house. Again, his work was quick and professional, and he called to check to ensure that he was okay opening part of the ceiling to run wire for the overhead lights in the room. We have quite a bit more work to do in the house, and I won't hesitate to call Emerald State again.

The first visit appeared to fix the issue but after 2-hours it popped again. I was able to contact the owner directly (he also makes the appointments) and he promptly responded that he, himself, would come the next day to figure it out (at no add'l charge). He spent 1+hours of his own time to make it a satisfactory visit and we found the real issue. He was hospitable, explained what he was doing to educate me as the homeowner and REALLY got customer service!

we thought it went great until my bathroom contractor practically electrocuted himself taking the drywall off the bathroom wall which is next to the kitchen, where emerald installed outlets. seemed when they were putting the wiring in from the attic in between the two rooms, they missed. i have been showering with this for three years and had no idea this was happening the junction for the wires is on the bathroom side of the wall, rather than the kitchen side. we now will have to hire an electrician to go over the work sheet emerald performed, which was approximately 3500 dollars worth of work i wish i could upload the picture would show it all. i have tried to contact dennis via angies list, with the picture and i've just messaged him via text. we would never have known had we not needed to gut our bathroom this year

Emerald Electric charged a $300 service fee at the time the appointment was made. When the electrician showed up on time, he showed me an estimate of an additional $208 dollars for 1 hr of labor and supplies. (There were 2 guys standing there). Once the job was started, they needed some additional conduit for inside the spa and left for 1 hour to get the parts. When I asked if they were going to charge me for that hour, he agreed to reduce it and include his lunch break during that time. They completed the work which was professional & complete (excluding the conduit run, 1 hr. of labor). The problem was the charges. . .the bill was for 1.5 hours of work now x2 for both of them! So it went from the quote of $150 of labor to $450! The cost of the additional wire & conduit was minimal. When I mentioned that I used Angies List, he gave me a 10% discount off the labor (5% less than what the scheduler promised). Although the work was an 'A' rating, the quotes both over the phone and in person were misleading and the billing practices for labor. . .well I give them a deserved 'F'. Come on guys, $900 to connect a new spa to a pre-existing hook-up?

Can't say enough great things about this company. Brian and Brady were fantastic. Fast, friendly, and very responsive. Brian helped me plan the electrical layout for the upstairs renovation of our 1917 craftsman, and it couldn't have turned out better. I will definitely be using these guys for the rest of our upcoming renovations. Highly recommended!
