Fix ceiling fan. Greg Drone came over soon after I called. He is in the Alexandria/Arlington area. He tested the fan and I decided I wanted it removed. He did that quickly and put on a plate to cover the hole in the ceiling. He cleaned up any mess. Because my place was built in 1978, I want to have Allegro inspect the electrical panel and recommend updates. read more

The team at Allegro did a phenomenal job installing our recessed lighting and ceiling fans. They were courteous, timely, and affordable. I'd highly recommend them and will use them again should the need arise. read more

I just finished a complete renovation of my tiny Parkfairfax kitchen. Greg & his crew did a great job and were very easy to work with; the cost was reasonable and well within the range I expected to pay for the scope of the project; and everything was completed without any avoidable delays. I am very pleased with the final product. read more

Most responsive, professional and knowledgeable. Allegro (Greg) assessed and repaired a botched and complex wiring job involving multiple circuits/switches. The repair was completed within a day of my initial text. Allegro's rates are very reasonable, and Greg is an asset to the Parkfairfax community. Thank you. read more

Greg installed a brand new box in our unit back in the Spring. We've been having some HVAC issues that we've been trying to troubleshoot whether it is electrical (breaker or wiring) or the HVAC. Greg has been very responsive and incredibly helpful as we figuring things out and try to avoid a full HVAC replacement. Definitely recommend!! read more

I called Allegro to come in and take a look at my bathroom. The guy saved me a bundle because he takes a look and says, "Nope! Here's how the job should have been done in the first place!" He then walked me through the entire process of how it should have been done, who should fix it, and how to get it handled through the appropriate channels. I got the referral from someone who recommended the company as capable, excellent, and honest. My experience only reinforces it. Call Allegro! read more

Greg Drone is a master electrician in Park Fairfax. Since we live in Park Fairfax, it's quite convenient to have a competent electrician so close. He works on the weekends and will come in the mornings. He often comes early so be aware of that. He has fixed the light in our kitchen and the light outside our door. Both instances took less than 30 minutes so he is quite quick! I can't speak to price since our landlord paid the bill. read more

My rating is based on customer service only and not the quality of this company's work since we didn't get that far. So I just called to obtain pricing information and was asked a series of questions about where I lived. The website says they serve Alexandria in the surrounding area. I live in Alexandria AND have the same zip code as this company, so I'm not sure why this was an issue. However, after determining the name and location of my condo (which is literally 1.5 miles away) I was told that I should look at my condo's newsletter (of which we have none) to find a contractor that's familiar with my building. How familiar do you need to be to install track lighting?! Needless to say, I won't be working with this company and they don't seem to be be interested in new business. read more

I called Greg regarding a few electrical issues in my historic condo. After leaving a message, he promptly called me back and we scheduled a time for him to come out very soon thereafter. Greg was quickly able to solve the do-it-yourself electrical problems I ran into. He was also very knowledgeable about the particular electrical issues common to my development and was happy to explain to me issues that I should be aware of if I do any renovations in the future. I'd highly recommend Greg for anyone that needs an electrician in the Alexandria area. read more

Greg and his crew did an outstanding remodel of a unit we purchased at Park Fairfax. He has extensive experience working with the units, understands the innate challenges of old construction (historic properties), and the condo association's regulations. His good reputation made it very easy for us to work with the association's main office for remodeling approvals. Greg also gave us excellent suggestions for flooring, window, and even asbestos abatement contractors. As work progressed, the crew discovered previous work which was not up to code or was VERY badly done (fire hazard bad). They corrected all of those previous inconsistencies and had their work inspected by the City, as required. Greg was responsive to additions we made to the original remodeling plan and addressed any concerns right away. This is a very professional, well-respected contractor with integrity. We highly recommend Allegro. read more

Greg Drone of Allegro installed two baseboard heaters with a thermostat in my formerly very chilly ground floor condo in Parkfairfax, as well as two closet lights. The new heating system works very well. He arrived with his own "moon suit" and went down into the crawl space to run the wires himself, instead of my having to make arrangements with the condo association (something I wonder if other electricians would do). He also offered to fetch and install my interior storm windows from my storage unit (at no charge). When the weather turned colder a week or so later, he contacted me by email to find out how the heating system was working. Sally B's comment that he is "knowledgeable, realible, honest, and very personable" says it all. read more

Greg was a great help! We randomly lost our heat in the middle of January and while most electricians in the area didn't have availability to come out right away, Greg called back on a Saturday and was here on a Sunday. He was very professional, courteous and helpful. We live in Park Fairfax and since he has serviced quite a few units here, his knowledge of the complex was particularly helpful. While he was here he also helped fix our recessed lighting which had been broken for over a year. He took care of everything in under an hour and gave us a very reasonable price as well as provided a quote on some other much needed electrical work we have to do. We will definitely be calling him again in the future and referring him to any friends in the area. read more

Greg was a huge help! My baseboard heater was not working properly in January in the middle of negative degree temps. I called him in the morning on a Friday and he came out that afternoon! He gave me multiple options for fixing my problem and answered unrelated questions about a problem I was having with my oven. He also gave me a better understanding of my condo's electrical layout. He was very friendly, professional and honest (his recommendation to solve my problem didn't give him any extra business!) I will definitely be calling him any time I have an electrical issue! read more

I am finishing up my kitchen renovation and I used Allegro in the process. This company was the best I have used, and this is my 4th home that I have renovated! Excellent work, honest, and provides excellent suggestions. Look no further...this is the contractor for you! read more

Allegro is at the very least a 4 star contractor. I met Greg when he did the electrical work for the contractor who installed my Mitsubishi HVAC. He is knowledgeable, reliable, honest, and very personable. He installed the connect for the HVAC, a GFCI outlet by my back door, an exterior light fixture with inside switch, a wall sconce with switch, a wall receptacle, and lights in two closets. He is a licensed general contractor and also removed my existing through the wall air conditioners and filled in the drywall hole. Greg will go the extra mile to ensure that your work is done to your satisfaction and on schedule. read more

I found this gentleman to lack integrity and pride in his work. Perhaps he lost it since some of the earlier reviews. We needed just one simple toggle switch. He came to the Fairlington unit unprepared.The replacement switch was located in a double plate and was in close proximity to an existing almond switch. He left and when I called to question, he stated that he no longer stocked almond. I requested that he come back to match the two, and he said that he would call and make the correction without charge because it had been his error. Several days later we had to call him and now there would be a $20 charge for parts. We purchased the toggle switches at Home Depot for $3.00.He still charged for labor. And left small bits of electrical wire and bits of paint and rubber on the floor below where he had worked. This debris was discovered by my cat - fortunately I was able to sweep it away before it harmed her. read more

I had Greg come and fix up my electrical box in Park Fairfax, and he was wonderful.. He showed up exactly when he said he would, was fast with the work, and reasonable with price too... Everything you'd want from your electrical contractor! He also happens to be licensed and highly recommended in the community, and that's really what puts him over the top. I recommend using him as well!!! The negative reviews are ridiculous and in my experience with renovations, repairs, and home building, since my fiancé works in the biz, these people didn't get the answers they wanted and just reviewed negatively to "stick it to the man"... The issues I read were not issues that any other contractor would've handled differently or dealt with in any other way, so don't judge based on those.. In my experience, and from talking to others who have also had work done by Allegro, anything less than 5 stars would be nonsense. read more

I hired Greg of Allegro to take care of a bathroom outlet that was noted as an issue in a buyer's inspection (I'm selling my condo). Not only did he fix the problem, but he was also able to give me helpful tips with a better understanding of the problem as well as how it was fixed. Extremely valuable information. He also answered follow-up questions from the buyer's agent. I highly recommend Greg, especially if you live in Fairlington. He knows the area well. Extremely professional, quick service, and very friendly. read more

Greg did an outstanding job! I had some rather urgent electrical repair work that needed to be accomplished as part of the sale of my home. Greg was PROMPT, KNOWLEDGEABLE, and EFFICIENT. His work was done quickly and professionally. As a bonus, he was polite and a pleasure to chat with while working. His quoted price was fair and accurate. I would call Greg again if I need an electrician. read more

Greg was excellent. Quick and effective. I will call on Greg for all my electrical needs in the future.
