Family business. Accommodated my schedule and diagnosed the problem quickly. (Many outlets weren't working in my house when I moved in.) Electrician and receptionist/scheduler were both great to work with. Prompt, efficient, and I think he left the work space cleaner than he found it.

the electrician figured out the problem, more of a dummy move on my part. The charge was very reasonable for the time, and he made me feel a LITTLE less like an idiot. Will keep in mind for future projects

Work was excellent. We have had them in our home several times. They are safe, clean and they do quality work. Pass inspection with no issues. Unfortunately, their communication was less than ideal. While we had agreed on a bid, they determined the work required time a material and didn't communicate this information acceptably to us. The price came in at slightly double their estimate. This should have been communicated much more clearly. The bid was obviously way off, so not a good guidance as to final cost. They avoided/delayed communication with us when we sought to discuss the cost. Make sure you or your contractor are staying current on cost. We got a big surprise.

Wettsteins was great to work with from start to finish. I had not yet moved into the area when work started, so I had to coordinate via Skype, email, and phone. Communication was excellent and I always felt that I was informed about the work being done. They were also great about coordinating with my other contractors. When I finally did arrive in La Crosse, everyone was equally friendly and helpful in person. The bid for the project was detailed and specific, which helped me budget for it, and it was completely accurate. The work was excellent quality - they took care to do a thorough, excellent job and I couldn't be happier. I'm 100% pleased with the work done and recommend them highly.

The work was done in one day as planned. WBE worked with me to collaborate a date when my electric company had planned to move my outside service. They were flexible in the scheduling process, but I also provided them 3-4 weeks of planning notice. The work was done well. The workers showed up on time and were very respectful and nice guys. They also rerouted a couple electrical lines to my dryer and washer that werent in the original contract. The price was competitive.
Description of Work: I am putting in an addition to my home and a change of electrical service from 100 to 200 amp was needed, plus a move to my incoming electrical service location.

Beautifully. Two service men came and both were obviously competent. They had all the tools and parts needed to do the job with them. They worked very well together and respected each other. They cleaned up thoroughly when finished. They even got excited when they solved a problem that one often encounters when trying to wire a house built in 1903.
Description of Work: Installed track LED lighting under kitchen cabinets. Installed light/vent device in basement bathroom. Installed under-cabinet light in laundry room and wired all laundry room lighting through one circuit. Converted switch in kitchen that controls lights in basement to 3-way switch so lights can now be controlled in basement also. Installed ceiling light in root cellar. Replaced two outlets in upstairs bedroom.

Everything went well. The electrician showed up on time, he explained what he was going to do and made recommendations for the best way to do the work. The garage took longer than expected and the inside work was rescheduled. The same electrician came again which was great because he was already familiar with the house. The electrician was very professional and made sure to clean up after his work was done. I want to mention that I had to postpone the work for a year from when I received the quote. Wettsteins was very understanding and the original quote was honored. The quote and work were easy to schedule and the office staff was great to work with.

I called several electricians, and this one was the only one with a live receptionist that was able to set up an immediate consultation. I received one other local estimate and I instantly knew that Wettstein Brothers Electric was the company we were going to use for our remodel-- I was impressed with the professionalism, friendliness, and knowledge of the representative at the initial consultation. The representative went out of his way to give us suggestions, pictures, and even a personal tour of his similar attic remodel. The day after the initial walk-through, I received an estimate and additional information about the company. We plan on using Wettstein Brothers for our remodel when we do go ahead with the project in the near future.
Description of Work: I received an estimate for the following: adding a new GFI in the kitchen, a total upstairs remodel, upgrading our service and relocating outside meter and service panel to meet code, adding 4 more outlets and a 60-AMP subpanel to the the garage, and a few more incidentals.

I liked their services. I liked how fast they got here and took care of it. The price was good. It was reasonable. The guy that came here was nice. I was impressed with how fast they got here. It was on a weekend and I called the emergency line and they got here somewhere within half an hour or an hour. To me that was well worth it. The quality of their work was good. The first guy who worked at it couldn’t figure out and he didn’t know exactly where it was; he knew it was in the back. He said he would send another guy and told me that the other guy knew the systems a lot better. I thought it was pretty good of him not to guess. He sent another guy who took care of it. I would definitely use them again in the future if necessary.
