As a Property Manager and Facilities Manager, I have used Wilcox Electric multiple times over the…read moreyears for the commercial and residential properties that I represent. I have always been very happy with the quality of their work. If you are a Property or Facilities Manager, Wilcox is an excellent partner that will leave you looking good! My experience is that they do high quality work, offer appropriate pricing, easy scheduling and are staffed by professionals in both the field and in the office. This review is because I recently had them do work at my own home and I am beyond happy. I've used them for small personal projects in the past but this time I brought them in to do larger work including a 200 amp heavy up and adding a dedicated circuit for a new stove. They knocked it out of the park! When our home was inspected for purchase 12 years ago, the inspector mentioned that our panel could be a concern. It took me this long to address it. A few months ago Dale performed panel maintenance and helped me understand so much about the power in my home that I decided to have Wilcox come back to do a 200 amp heavy up. Jermaine and Daniel did that work and did a fantastic job. I am so happy with the outcome. Lastly, Nick W came out and installed a dedicated circuit to install a new stove and did a wonderful job. Since I'm a curious customer who asks a lot of questions, he showed me all the components inside the panel and explained what they did. Now, for the first time since we bought the place, I feel absolutely confident in the safety of the power in my home. Based on my recent experiences, I'm planning to have them come back later this year to add some outlets to the exterior of the home and also run power out to my shed. Everyone I have dealt with from scheduling with the office to communicating about estimates and the onsite visits have been top notch. Their staff is professional, knowledgeable and have helped me understand the process at every step. You can rest easy if you choose Wilcox Electric for your project. They're great!

Competent but very expensive. I had them move my home's electrical panel. They underbid the other…read moreoutfit by half, but then took almost three times as long as estimated, ending up charging more than the competing bid. The complex project was accomplished successfully, on the other hand. More recently, I called them up about troubleshooting a couple flaky GFCI breakers. The owner came out immediately (an hour later!) and I learned a lot from him about breakers. On the other hand, he came out without any spare breakers and had to make a run to Home Depot, so I ended up being charged 1.5 hours at $237 an hour (usually time past the first hour is something like $70 extra), so much more expensive than alternatives. So a solid outfit, but not my first choice.

I've used his services on two occasions, each time, he demonstrated incredible knowledge in resolving my electrical issues. Most recently, yesterday - 12/16/20 when I lost power in my basement, with snow coming down. I called him, and he told me that he will be at my house in 90 minutes. Of course, he showed up, social distancing measures - mask, wore booties (quality ones), came in and immediately identified and fixed the source of my electrical issues. In the process, educated me about what the issue was. Most importantly, fairest prices you can find - no gimmicks!! Richard - thank you for being an exceptional electrician and servicing my issues. I look forward to using your services for the big project soon!!!

Constantin is a master electrician with a lifetime of knowledge, and Jose is a very bright apprentice, who was extremely helpful at figuring out a couple of complex problems. They are both very genuine and honest people who anyone will feel comfortable having in their home.

Ariel was knowledgeable and pleasant to talk to, he had someone out the next day to take a look at the house. Afterwards Ariel throughly explained the entire process and how they would pull the permits and schedule the county inspection after the work was complete. Three electricians arrived to replace my service line and clean up the previous wiring done by a less than capable electrician a few years ago. Additionally they re-wired my panel and properly grounded it according to county code. The guys were all very professional, methodical and neat in all of their work. They graciously explained everything they did and answered all of my questions. Afterwards they checked all of the circuits and outlets in the house ensuring everything was correct. Precise Building Services is very organized! Ariel uses a computer system to create and email estimates, send invoices and collect payments. I was very impressed with the quality of work Ariel and his company perform and highly recommend them for any household electrical needs.

I had a brand new electric panel installed, and I even had the outside meter and main line MOVED to an entirely new area of my home. Used to be smack dab in the front, ugh! Now it's well hidden on the side of my house! MORE THAN THAT, Yesser dealt with all permits and working with Dominion electric to facilitate the approvals which all went completely seamlessly and extremely fast. Immediately after the large job was done I had several other small projects that I would only trust with Yesser. So he did a bunch of other things for me for such a good a price. Costs: Cost was extremely reasonable to the point where I know I would have paid much more. I feel like with bigger companies you have to cover their advertising budget ha ha! Skill: All I can say is that I was very impressed with the work. I know very little about electric, but the neatness alone with how things were laid out and done showed me that Yesser is a perfectionist. I checked out his credentials. Master Electrician. Fully licensed and certified in DC, MD, VA. Super nice guy, always explaining what he's doing, loves a friendly chat! :)

He may be wonderful at changing out a lightbulb but he is incapable of performing large-scale work. I would never recommend him for any work and plan to file a complaint with the County based on our experience with him. Found Dora Electric on Yelp. We needed our two panel boxes combined to one, leaving open breaker spots for future electrical needs. We also needed four (4) dedicated lines run down the hall to the basement wet bar. Tuesday, April 26, 2016 (day hired): Yesser quoted to get the job done in two days for $3,000 and guaranteed his work would pass county inspection. Thursday, May 19, 2016 (23 days since hired): Yesser showed up around 11:00am but didn't start any work. Friday, May 20, 2016 (24 days since hired): Yesser had the power off all afternoon and it wasn't restored until around 10:00pm. He wasn't sure when he'd come back to continue/finish the job. Monday, May 23, 2016 (27 days since hired): My wife contacted Yesser to ask when he was coming again. His response was "maybe today but maybe not." Tuesday, May 24, 2016 (28 days since hired): Yesser said he was busy this week. I expressed concern due to family coming to town on Saturday. He agreed to finish the job on Friday, May 27. Friday, May 27, 2016 (31 days since hired): Yesser finished installing the four (4) dedicated outlets and installed the two (2) grounding rods. He left 13 holes in the drywall and said he doesn't patch the holes. He then asked me to pay him $4,700 instead of the $3,000 we agreed on. I paid him $500 (total $2,000 to date) and said I would not pay any the final $1,000 until the Fairfax County inspection passed. Yesser requested to schedule the final inspection after Ramadan. We agreed to support him even though only the inspection remained. Friday, July 15, 2016 (80 days since hired): Yesser didn't show for the inspection and his work failed the inspection. Yesser cut a wire where he cut a hole in the drywall and blamed us for doing it. He also blamed us for the other holes in the wall yet he was the only contractor hired. Yesser agreed to return that day and fix the failures but never showed. Wednesday, July 20, 2016 (85 days since hired): Yesser stopped by for 30 min then left for the day. Tuesday, July 26, 2016 (91 days since hired): Yesser arrived (late) to repair the issues failing the inspection. He asked to be paid $750 but was reminded of our agreement to pay after the final inspection. Yesser berated my wife, called her a liar and claimed we were treating him harshly because he is an immigrant. My wife stated we just wanted the work done so we could pay him and have our home back. Yesser said he scheduled an inspection for the following morning. Wednesday, July 27, 2016 (92 days since hired): Yesser said the inspection was cancelled and rescheduled for Friday. Friday, July 29, 2016 (94 days since hired): Yesser said the inspection was cancelled and asked to do it the following week. Tuesday, August 2, 2016 (98 days since hired): My wife contacted the Fairfax County Inspector's office and scheduled the inspection for Friday. Wednesday, August 3, 2016 (99 days since hired): My wife told Yesser via text the inspection was scheduled for Friday. He was not happy and said to have a check ready for him. Friday, August 5, 2016 (101 days since hired): The County Inspector cancelled the inspection. We found out that Yesser never scheduled any inspections other than the one that failed. In short, Yesser had been lying about scheduling and the cancellation of inspections. Monday, August 8, 2016 (104 days since hired): Inspector showed up and passed the work pending fixing two open wires Yesser cut (but blamed us for cutting). Yesser wanted the $1,000 paid in cash. We refused and said our bank would issue a check delivered to his home address. He yelled at my wife and said he was to be paid $4,700 instead of $3,000 and accused us of being liars. He continued his rant until my wife began to video the conversation. He stopped yelling and drove off our property, leaving his tools in our driveway.

We first used them for an issue with our AC because they are 5 minutes from our house. The tech was pretty straight-forward about diagnosing and repairing the broken motor. The only weird thing was the dude went around our house when we weren't looking putting their A Action stickers on several of our appliances, as if they were the ones that installed all of them. I had to go peel all of the ugly stickers off of things like our washing and drying machines and plumbing fixtures. The first experience was fine, so when the AC was on the fritz a year later we called them again for a repair. The tech comes out and says the motor capacitor is broken. He quotes us $500 to replace it with a "high-performance" capacitor. Then when the work is done, bills us for $900. "Well, the $500 was just for the parts. The final bill includes diagnosis and labor." For a 45-minute visit. I checked online after and we could have had the same generic part delivered to our house 3 days later from a local supplier for $55. I get that there is a premium for having the part on the truck to fix it right then and there, but a 1,000% markup for a stock part that I can replace myself is over the top. We called them again for an estimate on a new plumbing installation. We get told estimates are free. The tech shows up and looks over the work that needs done. Then he says we owe him $100 before he leaves. "I thought the estimate was free?" "It's for the diagnosis, not the estimate." Then they never even got back to us with a quote for the project. We'll look elsewhere from now on. We've worked with other licensed techs in this area for less money that are just as professional and responsive and don't change prices on you after the fact.
