Northside Electric

Great experience overall. I called on a Thursday and was able to schedule for the following Monday. Mark was very friendly and responsive on the phone. Chad showed up right around the scheduled time. He completed the work in under two hours and was very responsive to my questions. The price was less than I expected. I will definitely use these guys for my future electrical needs.

Mark was very responsive to our initial call - we scheduled him to come out to our condo building and see the work we needed done. I spent about an hour showing him the building and explaining our needs. He was very polite and said the work looked manageable. Then we never heard from him - not a bid, not a call, nothing. I followed up by phone three times and by email twice. Six weeks went by with no response! When I called and he answered the phone, I told him we needed the bid that day or we would find someone else. He promised it by end of day and again, never sent anything. Such a disappointment and a huge waste of our time. He's clearly very unorganized and does not have a system for tracking work. Each time I called in, I had to give my name, phone number and email because they could never find it in their 'files'. Get a computer and get with the program!

I must say that Mark and Chad were absolutely fantastic. Mark has a very upbeat, outgoing personality so it was actually fun to have them here to work on this project. Everything was done exactly as contracted plus a few extra things were thrown in. I was very impressed with their knowledge and skill-they clearly know their stuff. If I recall correctly, It took them about 2 1/2 days (spaced apart) to complete everything.

Got a great vibe starting from the estimate. He gave me several options - from very inexpensive to quite expensive - and then proceeded to explain why I probably wanted to go with with the most inexpensive option. I loved having a set of options and some information to actually make a choice. On top of that, the quoted prices were much better than the other two estimates I received. From my understanding the work done was pretty standard and uncomplicated. That said, the work was completed promptly and to specification. I was able to plan for a half day of installation and actually have the installation take up only that scheduled half day. I was very satisfied with my experience and will most certainly look to Northside for future projects.

EXCELLENT! Northside was the highest rated on Angies List and I got bids from the top three rated electricians. Northside came in the least expensive and their service was fabulous. Mark explained some of the complications with knob and tube and made recommendations for future work, but no hard sell. I highly recommend them.

Helpful, explained everything, best price of 4 quotes, nice, did a good job.

Mark and his team did an excellent job--they replaced our old, scary 1927 knob and tube wiring and replaced a few light fixtures. We were kept updated through the whole process, and they were careful to make as few new holes as they could manage. They cleaned up after themselves, and didn't mind our old friendly dog on the occasions when he got curious and visited them. I will absolutely call Northside again for any electrical work we may need in the future.

I called on a Friday afternoon. We made an appointment for Monday morning. Mark appeared on time. He worked rapidly and efficiently. He also explained exactly what he was doing as he worked.

Easy to work with, everything went smoothly.

Service was excellent. The guys took time to explain me the different options as well as the different scenarios that could happen while performing the work. The came right in at where they quoted the job. They took the time to clean up after being done. Excellent work!

They provided a free estimate and explained what the work would be. They arrived on time and didn't take any longer than needed. The work was scheduled a couple weeks out and they arrived right on time. They estimated the power wold be off for between 4 and 5 hours and got it back on in 3.5 hours. They were very efficient and gave me warnings about when the power would be going off and when it was back on. They did a good job of cleaning up the work area when done.

Last visit was the fourth time we worked with Mark and Chad - they are great to work with: great technical knowledge, professional and genuinely nice guys. I highly recommend them to anyone having electrical issues.

Answered all my questions and did an excellent job.

All staff were very courteous and friendly. Very promt response from initial request for a bid to scheduling return visits to fit our schedule over an approximately six week kitchen remodel project. Staff were careful and cleaned up any debris. We were very happy with the work completed.

We had a time crunch due to impending house sale closing and work was performed promptly to meet house inspection contingency.

Mark was an incredible help in finishing a project that a handyman left undone. Beyond being professional, taking the time to educate us on the project and being - simply- a "good guy"...he called to share he would be 5 minutes late AND came to help restore light to our kitchen on Christmas Eve morning. We were so delighted with his customer service and attention to detail that we asked him to come back for another project this week of New Years which was finished in a brisk 3 hours at a very reasonable rate. I wish we could hire Mark for EVERYTHING. Now.. what else needs electricity work?

Went great! Came promptly at 7:00 and was done in less than a 1/2 hour. Very courtious and professional.

It’s a small operation with just two people. One person did all the work while the other, who I think is the owner, came later, and they worked together for a short time. They were capable and very friendly, and cleaned up very well afterwards. Everything works fine. I am very happy with them.

They did a great job. They were on time and went above and beyond. Their price was fair. I would absolutely use them again.

Mr, Blankenship was personable and professional. He left saying that he would prepare an estimate and get it to me in a few days. I never heard another word. I left several messages on his answering machine and, finally, wrote to him asking that he contact me. I have never gotten a response.

The person who answered the phone and the technician were friendly, courteous and professional. The technician arrived promptly at the appointment time and efficiently troubleshot the problem. The fee seemed reasonable for the time spent.

When we asked for bid, Chad explained reasons for problem and our options and was able to replace fixtures and found reason for problem and fixed that as well.

I spoke with Mark Blankenship and set up a time to first get an estimate for several light fixtures that were flickering intermittently. Mark gave a tine that fit my schedule well. About ten minutes prior to his scheduled arrival time of eight AM, Mark called and said he was running late and would be arriving at five minutes after eight. I appreciated this update. He arrived and quickly diagnosed the problems as a faulty switch and a carbon scored connection. He gave me and estimate, which I approved on the spot and he got the work done in less than a half an hour.

They were friendly and prompt in setting up an appointment for the estimate. The verbal quote was the most reasonable of the three I got. They were apologetic about not having sent the quote out when I called them. They have lost my business because they have not followed through and made sure I got the quote. If I have to ask them repeatedly for the quote, what will it be like to get the work done?

First ceiling fan went in like a charm and worked beautifully. Second room had no ceiling fixture, so required patience in going thru nasty attic to first get power and fixture to hang it from into the room. Unusual fan so needed patience in figuring out how it went together. Got fan up and it wobbled badly. The fan housing was bent so badly, there was no way it could be balanced. We called Hunter and they agreed readily to replace the whole fan. Two weeks later after new fan arrived, returned and put the new fan all together and got it up. It worked great, except for one thing I discovered, which was that I couldn't get the fan to reverse to blow air down. I called and asked for help, fearing another defective fan part, but it was a simple and quick fix as this fan had a quirky mechanism to switch directions of blades. Reasonable charges and great patience with the idiosyncrasies of the defective fan and its replacement. No charge for what Mark called "their error" with the weird switch to reverse blades. Best electrician I've had work on house and I'll keep using him.
