I accidentally cut a wire to my outdoor lighting while trimming a bush in my front yard today. When I went back into the garage there was no power in there, 2 freezers, 1 refrigerator and 2 garage door openers. Needless to say I was panicking! I checked the breakers, called PUD and they verified it wasn't a system problem. I called Bayless and explained the situation and one of their service techs called me and walked me through what to do. It only required pushing the reset button on one of the outlets in the garage and everything worked again! I am so grateful for the help I got in this situation and should I need any work in the future I will definitely call them again. Thank you so much for helping me out! read more

Greg is a genius. With a wife and daughter, when bathroom outlets don't work, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. I called and within 20 mins Greg called back. He had me take a few photos of both electrical panels and he was able to determine inappropriate labeling thus identify my problem and all in under 10 mins. So grateful, life is good again :) read more

To start, I know zippo about electricity so when my garage plugs quit I was at a loss. I called Bayless Electric and within minutes Greg returned my call. He listened to me and told me what to do. It didn't take but two minutes on the phone but this was time out of his busy day. The GFI needed resetting. This is what customer service is all about. He gained a lifetime customer. You'll be glad you did if you call Bayless Electric. read more

Greg and his team did superb work on a very difficult, multi-faceted electrical rebuild that ended up being even more complicated that any of us realized. We needed to replace 55-year-old panels that had been put into our old house by an amateur and were very unsafe. This also entailed putting new lines in from our house to the electric pole down our mountain road and working with the power company to minimize our time without electricity. In addition we wanted to install a whole-house generator because we live up in the stormy North Cascade Mountains. Greg gave us a fair bid for all of this, and worked with us on the timing and scheduling. As soon as his team started the work, he realized that our wiring was a disorganized, unlabeled jumble of wires pushed into every nook and cranny of one wall of our garage - all obviously tinkered with by many people, including the amateur owner, over the 55-year life of the house. Greg and his team eventually discovered that all our switches were on a separate and even more disorganized low-voltage system, that also had to be completely redone. The past owner had been a tinkerer who put 3-6 switches in every room and hallway and not one of them was labeled. It was overwhelming to even look at! Greg and his team patiently worked through ALL of this, spending much more time than they originally expected, without complaint, until every single system was redone, replaced, organized and clearly labeled. We were exhausted just watching them go through all of this work, and I can't imagine how they had the persistence to do it themselves! Not only did they work through it all, but Greg is a perfectionist who checks, rechecks, and re-rechecks everything until he is certain that everything is exactly as it needs to be for safety, usability, and for the next time an electrician needs to work on our system. We now have a brand new, PERFECT electrical system that we know is safe and solid, with panels and a low-voltage system that are labeled and easy to use, with wires neatly organized and put into boxes where they belong, and with an automatic whole-house generator installed and ready for our next big storm. And, last but not least, unlike so many other electricians, Greg did not add any additional charges for all this extra work. He honored our original contract. We are so grateful to Greg and his team for cleaning up our disastrous electrical mess! We found Greg on Yelp and decided to go with him because he was listed as the top Generac expert in our area, but he will be our only electrician for any kind of electrical work from now on! Thank you so much Greg, Jasmine, Zack, Caleb and Sarah!!!!!!!!!! You're the BEST!!!!!!!!!! read more

Amazing service from this group. Greg was great to deal with upfront and then the crew did amazing work to replace 3 junction boxes and check the power levels in a couple other areas. Highly recommend read more

My GFI blew and after replacing it still wouldnt work. I'm no certified electrician mind you. 1. He actually answered his phone. 2. Once he found out how simple it was he walked me through potential fixes. I was able to fix it on my own and save 198.00. ( that price is cheaper than everyone else BTW) highly recommend. read more

Thank you for coming out quickly and getting the job done. This is a company that I would recommend to anyone with electrical work needing to be done. read more

My garbage disposal is operated by a vacuum switch in the countertop. The switch is powered by an outlet under the sink, and next to the outlet in the same fixture is a rocker switch that also controls the disposal. The other day the whole system stopped working. I checked the voltage at the receptacle: Zero. I tested for a GFCI tripping with no result. Other outlets and fixtures including the dishwasher were working just fine. Baffled, I called Bayless for advice and anticipated a costly service call. First, he had me go to the breaker, which I cycled. No result. He then had me turn on the switch and the vacuum switch at the same time. BINGO! So no need for a service call. Problem solved. read more

Greg and his team did an amazing job on my home generator. In this age of difficult supply chain, difficulty getting anyone to respond, and the "great resignation" it is a breath of fresh air to have a craftsman who is competent, responsive, kind and gives a good value for the money. Greg and his team did a fantastic job as well as communicating well and letting me know what to expect and win. Now if the electric goes out I will have reliable generator backup for my home. Thank you Greg and team! read more

I rarely take time to do Yelp reviews unless service is truly bad. BAYLESS Electric's service for me truly qualifies as really bad, My advice is to stay away from this very unprofessional company. 1) Poor communication and follow through on making the appointment in the first place that took close to six months and several phone calls and reminders. 2)Unagreed elements of cost being included in a cost plus contract (significant drive time from off island location and hours of an apprentice on site without adequate supervision to complete the work). 3)Poor execution and inefficient work practices. They sent out an apprentice who was unable to execute the work without the journeyman. The journeyman arrived several hours late while the apprentice waited. 4)Poor communication in the administrative matters of getting questions answered regarding issues with billing. 5)Poor communication and sloppy billing procedures (no mailing address included on your bill) inability to pay by phone. They sent a workmen showing up unannounced to collect bills. I told him I refused until my billing questions were answered. The then asked me to deliver checks in person to job site where employees were working. I did this and the employees had left the job site. SO UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Greg installed our Generac generator earlier this year. Greg was very reasonable. We were very satisfied with his work. Greg always answers his phone or quickly follows up whenever we tried to contact him. Highly recommend!! read more

Unprofessional and over priced, no recommendation, just stay clear of them, no one needs the grief.

Greg was kind, friendly, knowledgeable and picked up the phone at first call. My floorboard heaters are working now.

Though I didn't use them, they were very prompt and thorough. If not for the other bids I received I would have gone wit's Bayless. Very passionate about his work read more

I needed a quote for an electrical issue in our bathroom. While several other companies told me they couldn't do anything for me without coming out to see the house. Bayless Electric helped me trouble shoot through direct message on yelp and ended up fixing the problem without even stepping foot in my home. I didn't end up needing them to come out but if I did I would trust them with my business! read more

For the longest time I thought my outlets weren't working in my kitchen. Craig, over the phone, walked me through my situation and solved my electrical issue. Now it works... Thank you so much.. read more

I needed an electrician the week after New Years, and for some reason everyone I called was booked. Greg at Bayless said he was busy but would fit me in later in the week, so I confirmed with them. He didn't show up, and he didn't respond to texts. When I called he said he would come on Sunday. Guess what, he didn't come on Sunday either, altho he offered to fit me in next week. Too late, learned my lesson, I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. read more

Bayless electric installed a permanent generator for our house recently. The price was great, the work was done well but also quickly and efficiently. They took care of everything from start to finish and communicated with us all along. I will definitely use Bayless Electric for all of my future projects. read more

When we moved into our house in April of this year, we discovered that our house is pretty much ALL-ELECTRIC! The heat, hot water heater, refrigerator, freezer, oven, and everything but our fireplace are all powered by PSE (Puget Sound Energy). When the electricity stops flowing here it will be a disaster. In fact, a few weeks before we arrived the power did go out here for a few hours. So, after we unpacked a million boxes, our first order of business was to find a standby generator - and someone to properly install it. But since the state of Texas JUST experienced a major power outage and a huge disaster because of it, we were sure it would take a year or more until we could have a generator installed at our house. We contacted Greg Bayless anyway, hoping to get in line for a generator. Long story short, in less than 30 days after my first call to Greg, he and his crew had our new Generac 22kW generator installed, balanced, tested, and up and running! Now, I don't know if Greg has any more generators on hand right now. But I do know that he is only one of a very small number of factory-authorized Generac Generator dealer-installers in this area. And, he is a highly skilled professional electrician who is well-versed in the Island County, Washington building codes. And he and his crew are extremely easy to work with. In addition, Greg Bayless is honest and dependable. His work is absolutely first-class. When he was finished he left no trash, tools, or packing materials behind. And now my wife and I have an excellent, properly installed whole-house backup power generator that will protect us and our home when the power from PSE is interrupted. Greg will be back here soon to put some new ceiling light fixtures in our downstairs entertainment room. He doesn't just install generators. And he answers his phone when it rings! Thank you, Greg. See you soon. read more

Bayless Electric - Power to the people! Our new standby generator has a great ocean view. - Electricians Near Me - Stanwood, Washington

Highly recommend. Fantastic - responsive and knowledgeable. Whole house standby generator working like a dream.

I was in need of help for a time-sensitive issue. Not only did Greg, go out of his way to help me - but so did his wife. The job was priced well, beyond what I expected, legal, and safe. He will get all of my future business, I will stay with a local. Thanks. read more

Had to get an outlet installed on very short notice. After reaching out to several electricians, I was sad to learn that everyone was booked for months. But Greg and Sarah found time between bigger jobs to come in and complete the job quickly and efficiently. They were really cool to meet and talk to and I will definitely be using them again the future! read more

I'm from Kansas City and looked for a electrician to do a outside service hookup at my sons home in Snohomish, Greg was the only one to get back to me quickly, quote me the cost and get the job done quickly for my sons Christmas present. I'm a remodeler here and find his work to be top rate in quality from his pictures and work he performed at my sons home. He won't short cut to save money and leave you with a potential hazard. You get what you pay for in quality work. You don't need to worry about your house burning down from lower skilled electricians Can't go wrong with Greg read more

I used Bayless for a permitted upstairs "down to the studs" remodel (2 Bed, 1 Bath). Work involved removal of existing non-grounded wiring (house built in 1945) and install of new circuits pulled directly from panel. They worked extremely fast, rough-in done in one day. Came back when remodel work was done to do trim (outlets, switches, smoke/CO2s), again working extremely fast, finishing trim in a couple hours. Work also included installing a Nest thermostat and adding a new outdoor service outlet for the new upstairs ductless units. Greg is very knowledgeable of electrical code, which I appreciated, and overall I am happy with the outcome. read more

By no fault of theirs, we chose the electrician that originally worked on our home. I will say, however, that the positive, speedy, response to our request for service was much appreciated. They're extremely polite and were willing to come the next day. I will definitely keep them in my rolodex. Kyle read more

They helped me over messaging without even having to physically be there. It was also free of charge as it was a quick fix, but most others were asking for $150 just to show up to do a check. I would recommend read more

This is the company to call when you need 24 hour COMPETENT, RELIABLE, RESPONSIVE electrical assistance. I feel very fortunate to have found Greg Bayless via Yelp. Although I live about 40 minutes from him, Greg responded immediately. A little background: I have not had very positive experiences with 2 other electricians I have used in the past. They were WAY too expensive and not quick to return a call or respond. On a Sunday in January, when I was out of state visiting family, the temperature at home was below freezing and no heat was on in my house, Greg answered my call from distance and within an hour had arrived at my door. He was pleasant and dropped whatever he had planned for the day to take care of my issues quickly and knowledgeably. I will DEFINITELY be using Greg as my first choice electrician from now on. I recommend Bayless Electric with no hesitation! read more

I recently had a Generac standby generator system installed. In retrospect I wish I'd selected Bayless for the job. Greg quickly responded to my inquiry (he is a designated Generac dealer so you will be referred to him when you call their 800 number and you live in Northwest Washington state). He soon visited my home and quickly provided his bid. For various reasons, I decided to use another company and they have been excellent. However, I now realize there was a major difference between the two companies. Bayless would have completed the entire project from start to finish. My chosen company did the installation and then left me with a list of items that need completion before they do the final hook up and tests: order propane tank; then, order tank site inspection; then, hire landscaper to dig trench for fuel line; then, order tank and fuel line installation; then, request inspection from county bldg dept; then, order filling of tank and their final hook up; then, get landscaper to close fuel line trench; then, arrange for installer to do final hook up and testing and instruct me on operation. Now, none of this was difficult or problematic...it was a learning experience and I had the time to devote to the project. I will never know the bliss though of other single women who say, "I just hired someone and it was all done"! read more

Greg is awesome. He knows his stuff and worked diligently when I had to use his services a couple of years ago. During the memorial day weekend, I have my power out in a portion of the house. I called him and he picked up right away and told me to prioritize. Just the right attitude and somebody knowing what he is doing. Highly recommend. read more

Quality service from a local company. Called on a Monday and had the problem sorted by Wednesday midday. Our garage breaker kept tripping, turning off our refrigerator and freezer, for seemingly no reason. Even though I called late in the day (after 6 p.m.) they answered the phone and did a great job assessing the issue, even requesting photos via text to help with troubleshooting. Bayless was able to respond midday Wednesday, and replaced the breaker. They even did a quick review of our (old) breaker panel and made recommendations that will help prevent future electrical issues. If you're looking for an honest, down-to-earth and professional electrical company, Bayless is a great choice. read more

Just wanted to shout a big thanks for the incredible work performed by Bayless. Professional, prompt, and great attention to detail for every phase of the job. The underground power was incredible as everything was put in place. Very happy and appreciate this great service. If you're still looking for an Electrician then ensure Bayless is on your list. read more

I had an electrical panel that was dying and my heaters were shutting off in Jan. I had read a recommendation for Greg & Bayless electric on Nextdoor so I gave him a call. Greg responded immediately and was very helpful. I was lucky he had some time to come out and fix my issue as quickly as he did. Great prices. Great service and I'm asking him for a quote for some additional work. I highly recommend Greg & Bayless Electric. read more

We are new to this area and it's always hard to know who to call when looking for competent businesses. We were fortunate to have found Bayless Electric! Greg just recently completed installing a standby generator at our residence. He set the generator on it's pad and installed a new electric panel to accommodate the changes. They even installed a light fixture inside our home after a very long day with the generator install. From start to finish he made it a pleasure. He is very personable, efficient, professional and does a great job leaving the work site as clean as he found it. Best of all, his rates are reasonable and accurate. We highly recommend his company for exterior as well as interior work. read more

We blew the power in some of our rooms during the winter and called Bayless to schedule a visit. After hearing our infant's room was impacted, Greg fit us in the same day and fixed the outlet that caused the problem. When the same problem happened a few weeks later, he again fit us in the same day and fixed a different outlet. He did a thorough check of all of the outlets throughout the house and fixed any issues he found. He was informative and great to work with and we really appreciated how responsive he was! I will definitely use them again! read more

I appreciate Bayless Electric Greg is good. He did what I asked him to do and more. He was able to do it in a timely fashion and answered every phone call that I placed to him. His email responses were right away. His work is the best and this was a big job. He had to remove cables and put new cables in and I would not hesitate to hire him again. And I could not be more pleased with the work. It is rare anymore to get good communication out of someone and good work. You cannot go wrong with Bayless Electric. read more

Greg is fantastic! He is very reliable and his work is top notch! Would recommend highly.

If you want a job done right, you go to Greg and his team. We threw the biggest curveballs you can throw in a home rewiring job. They went above and beyond to make sure that not only was the home safe, but that it was better than they found it. When he comes in he gives you the straight up information and then sticks to his quotes. You will not be disappointed if you bring Bayless in to do your job. read more
