I scheduled an electrician from Helping Hands to come out to my house to give me a quote and hook up 5 new electrical outlets. They gave me a 2 hour window to wait for them; from 8-10AM. I take off the time from work and wait for them until 10AM rolls around with no word from them. I call their main office, only to be given the excuse that they got caught up on their first job of the day. What is the point of giving a 2 hour window if you are not even going to text or call me to let me know you're going to be late or have to reschedule? I just wasted a half day of work for nothing. Would not recommend this company as they don't seem to care about their customers time.

He seemed like a nice guy, but he was 45 min. late in coming out for the estimate and didn't contact me that he was late. I never received an estimate. Too bad since they had gotten a lot of good reviews

Okay. There were a couple unexpected screw bottoms extending from the fixture that weren't noticed initially. Not that big an issue but they should have been snipped off.

I had a breaker that was switching off unexpectedly in the basement after adding a new pinball machine. I called Helping Hands to see if they could come check things out. They did a very comprehensive evaluation over the phone and were able to diagnose the likely cause and gave me suggestions for mitigating the problem without doing any new electrical work. I have a lot of toys in the basement, and will likely need to hire an electrician to add some dedicated breakers in the future - Helping Hands will definitely get the call when that time comes and for any other electrical work I need.

Great ! See above description of my interaction with Helping Hands
Description of Work: I had a minor electrical issue in the kitchen and called Helping Hands since they did work for us before. When they called back Ader asked me a few questions regarding my problem and was able to diagnose and solve my problem over the phone, there by saving me a service call and fee. I have always appreciated his good work ethic and honesty. I highly recommend this company.

Ader did an excellent job and was a pleasure to work with. Even though I made things inconvenient for him by changing the specifications and making him wait a long time for me between the rough in and final installation, he took care of everything in a very professional manner. Ader also paid considerable attention to detail, for example by aligning pendant lighting perfectly above the island. Pricing was fair and was actually lower than a few other quotes I had received. Thanks Ader!

I submitted a review shortly after the service and don't know why you don't have it on record already. I don't remember how much it cost, but it wasn't free (as I typed in the box now). It was over four years ago and I don't remember all the details, just that he did what was necessary and we are pleased with the results.

Working with Helping Hands is a great experience. Ader and his team kept in excellent communication on the progress of the work completed throughout the process. This was a large and complicated project and the strategic planning both before and during the process was done remarkably well. Both units were occupied during the project, they did an impressive job of cleaning up after themselves daily. I developed a great working relationship with Ader and Raphael, couldn't have asked for better service and quality of work. I highly recommend this company and will continue using them in the future.

We called Ader when we were in a pinch - last minute decision to add some outlets and lighting before the drywall went into our remodeled family room. He came promptly and spent so many hours doing what turned out to be a complete re-wire. He worked into the evening on a couple of occasions so we'd be ready before the next contractors came, but he didn't charge us any extra for the inconvenience to him. He and his brother were always polite and easy to work with. He also communicated by text, which I really appreciated! We felt the work was high quality and the price was reasonable. We'd definitely hire them again!

Ader was very responsive with my initial contact. He even talked to me about what I wanted while grocery shopping! On the day of the appointment he called earlier in the morning to let me know that his appointment before mine had ended early and that he could come earlier if I wanted. I initially purchased the special deal for two hours of work because I thought all that we needed to do was to change the way the outlet was wired to accommodate our dishwasher, and I wanted to tack on the light fixture if he had time. Unfortunately my initial guess on the work was wrong and it ended up being a bit more complicated. While Ader was there he kept me informed of everything he was doing and made sure I was ok with it before proceeding. He was very nice to stay much longer than either of us had anticipated to get the work done. He also did a very good job of cleaning up after the work was completed. I asked for input on any red flags he might see that may need to be fixed in the future which is when he mentioned the outlets by the sink. I decided to have him take care of it while he was there. He also suggested that in the future we would need to switch to a larger electrical panel. I intend on calling Ader when we are ready to do that! Overall the work was excellent and Ader was very professional! The only issue I had was a miscommunication of sorts where he didn't relay the prices and his hourly rate before continuing with the work outside of the deal, and I didn't think to ask. The rates were not outrageous, we just didn't intend on paying that much at that time. In the end it all worked out and we are very happy with the work that was done!
Description of Work: Ader moved an outlet for our dishwasher and put it on it's own circuit. He also upgraded our outlets by the kitchen sink, and he installed a light fixture in our dining room.

Ader was very polite. He listened to what we wanted to have done and had VERY good prices. The only minor complaint was that we asked for everything to be separated price-wise and the quote we received had everything lumped together. I'm sure he would have separated it if we had asked, but we had already decided to use another contractor which had similar prices.
Description of Work: Ader came out and gave us an estimate for various work we wanted to do around the house.

Got a response a week after inquiring, responded back with no estimate (just saying that that is a service that they can do) and we have not heard anything since. No service, Horrible communication. Looking for someone else.

This contractor was by far the best of them all through rebuilding after the tragedy of a fire. We had some limits on access to the home and he respected it completely. Some of my own wiring needed to be replaced and his customer care is exceptional. I always knew when he was coming, what he was coming to do, and he danced well with plumbers, insulating crew and drywall installers and painters. I had no need to coordinate these as he did it so well. Probably the most noteworthy was his communicating with throughout the project progression. I hope his company prospers.
Description of Work: After a fire several circuits needed to be rewired. While remediating fire damage I took the opportunity to upgraded by adding more kitchen lights. Contractors suggestions on switches and placement was spot on!
