ABSOLUTE FIVE STAR! I am happy to say that I received excellent service from Yesser of Dora Electric. I had a HUGE job which I was worried would be costly. 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! :) read more

Dora Electric - Yesser of Dora Electric organizing Dominion to move the electrical line. - Electricians Near Me - Lorton, Virginia

Bottom Line Up Front: Yesser is unethical, unprofessional, lacks the ability to perform quality work in a reasonable time (104 days to finish a 2 day job), does not understand customer / business relationships, and is the messiest person we've had working in our home. 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. read more

Dora is a lifesaver! On a Friday night at 9:00 p.m. I discovered that earlier in the day workmen had somehow blown circuits in my apartment and I had no idea how to fix it. The fridge was out, and I was in a jam with prescriptions that have to be kept cool. I tried a couple of "name" home-repair services (that had "24-hour emergency service" on their sites) but was told either that I could expect someone by Sunday afternoon or that emergency services were only available to existing, not new, customers. And then I called Dora. Yesser was polite and clearly explained their service policy, including fees. He was at my door within 20 minutes, and while it turned out that the fix was easy, I was still happy to pay for the call - I couldn't have done it myself, and he gave me some pointers about what had been done badly in a previous rewiring, so that at some point in the future we can get it fixed. He's a real pro. read more

I should have wrote this review a few weeks ago. I contacted Dora Electric on really short notice. Calling on a Thursday and needed 3 new light fixtures installed Saturday morning before the arrival of friends and family. Outstanding workmanship and a very high level of professionalism. Pricing was more than fair and I was impressed. They commented on other items I may need to look into. I recommend Dora Electric and will use them for any future electrical work I need. read more

I had an excellent experience with Dora Electric. The work essentially was to have the socket for my cooking range installed in a different spot than it originally was. It was a bit urgent as we were in the middle of remodeling the kitchen and quite a bit of other work depended on getting this electrical work finished quickly. Yesser responded quickly to my request. He arrived punctually for our appointment. He had all the parts needed to reinstall the socket. He finished the work thoroughly and made sure that I was fully satisfied with the job. I feel lucky to have stumbled into him and plan to use him for all my future electrical needs. read more

Saw the good reviews so I called and they were able to come to my house the very next morning. The electrician was very polite and professional. He was able to fix the problem I had made for myself after I had installed a dimmer switch. He worked fast and didn't overcharge me for the simple fix. Would recommend to anyone else with electrical problems. read more

I have used a few electricians in the area over the past few years but plan to continue with this company! His work is excellent, he shows up on time and worked very hard on my project. There was no problems of any kind and no attempt to charge me more money at the end of the job- which I've encountered from other companies. On the first project we just completed, he changed out a few outlets (GFIs), added a new bathroom fixture, rewired a bathroom for a fan (with a new switch), and did 7 new recessed lights. I plan to have him do some more major work soon. He seems capable of both the big and small projects and his price is better than the others I've used. I highly recommend!! read more

I can't say more about Yesser and the type of person he is. Such a humble friendly gut that treats his clients like family. Every time we have worked together he has taken the time to thoroughly diagnose the problem and makes sure I understand what is happening. I look forward to working together again. read more

We had a great experience with Dora Electric - they installed three ceiling fans as well as a bit of rewiring. As part of our package, they did a flawless job of repatching and repainting any holes that were necessary for the rewiring. The price was extremely reasonable and they were able to finish the job in three days. Not to mention that Yassir was very knowledgeable, friendly and personable. Thanks, Dora, for the positive experience and we look forward to using you again as we update additional rooms in our new home! read more

Called for a basic repair on a ceiling fan light, and he was able to do it right away. He came in the timeframe promised, even gave a call when he was on his way. He did a great job. Not sure how this guy could get a negative review. A local small businessman, and a top notch electrician and gentlemen. Would highly recommend. read more

I found Yesser on Yelp when a fuse blew and called him for some help. Within 30 minutes he was at my door and fixed the problem, that day! He couldn't be nicer about explaining the problem and how I could prevent it next time. I couldn't have asked for a more prompt, professional, and helpful experience. - recommended! read more

The best electrician ever! I called him for a consultation, and he was over at my home in a couple of hours! Yesser is very friendly and professional. He diagnosed the problem with our kitchen lighting in a matter of seconds. He uses the latest tools, and fixed everything in less than 30 minutes. He offered me a good price too. I am very happy with his service and definitely recommend him. read more

Dora Electric is a company that works hard to please their customer. They were very helpful and reliable! They did leave quite a bit to clean up, but it wasn't too big of a deal. read more

Yesser is awesome. A Master Electrician who really knows his stuff with very reasonable rates, and a nice guy to boot. Highly recommend.

Yessir has been my go to electrician for over a year now. Being an office manager of a small business, yet large facility, it is integral that we have professional, ethical, and efficient business contacts for repairs and projects and Yessir meets all of these requirements and more! read more

Mr. Bellagha installed porch lights on the front and back of my townhouse, plus timer switches for each light. He kept me informed of his schedule and actually managed to fit my job in a day earlier than planned, to my delight. He is clearly a master electrician who knows what he is doing. I couldn't be happier with the results. He gets my highest recommendation. read more

Came on a Saturday! Professional, personable and helped my husband out of a bind! Yesser did a fantastic job and we recommend him highly. We have scheduled him to do other another job when we get back from vacation. read more

Dora Electric could be great for a simple electric project---installing a ceiling fan or a basic change of light fixture. My experience was one of the worst exchanges I've had in recent memory. The quote changed from $3000 to $4700 arbitrarily. GFCI outlets weren't installed near water sources (Electricity 101) and required remediation. Site protection was minimal, leaving a layer of drywall dust throughout the house. Drywall and wire clippings were left where they fell. The first Fairfax County Electrical Inspection failed. The 2-3 day project lasted a miserable 4 months. And lastly---to make it brief---my honest, simple questions were met with "I don't have time to train you on electricity." The first line of business is to educate customers so they know what they are receiving, and why. I'm sorry this project went so poorly. I learned a lot about contractors, and won't make the same mistake of hiring without every item outlined and accounted for in writing. Additionally, I've hired a new electrician for a follow-on project, and the panel we had installed by Dora needs to have surge protection added. read more

I called Yasser in a bind. During kitchen renovations the coax cable running into the house was cut and not replaced. Running a new line in the same place would have necessitated settling into our brand new cabinets. He recognized this and came up with an alternate plan which works better anyway. He was timely and hard-working. He managed expectations, telling me everything he was going to do and why. Perhaps most importantly, my wife felt really comfortable with him and he was great with my toddler daughter. read more

They were here within ten minutes and quickly and accurately resolved the issue. The electrician was very kind and professional and explained exactly what the issue was as he fixed it. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend him to others! read more

Mr Bellagha answered our service call the same day we contacted him. As requested, he called us as he was on his way to our house and arrived precisely as scheduled. He quickly diagnosed the problem, an improperly installed circuit, and fixed it. His fee was reasonable. We will call on him whenever we have electrical issues and I'll recommend Dora Electric to friends and neighbors. read more

I found Dora electric in yelp by chance so I called them. Very friendly and right on time. Yesser offered to install my recessed lights for a very competitive price. I will recommend them to friends. read more

Yessir replaced a panel, grounding wires, and installed a backup generator transfer panel for our house. He did a great job, made sure the job was done correctly(including scheduling the inspection while i was there), was very competitively priced, and even threw in doing wiring for a new bathroom exhaust fan. The only reason for 4 vs. 5 stars is that it took a few trips for him to complete the work. Overall great experience with Dora electric and will use them again. read more

Yesser has being doing terrific work for me over the past year, mainly fixing up botched work done by the previous electrician (when I think that the previous electrician had installed outlets behind sinks and recessed lighting without wire connection), meaning a lot of rewiring and rerouting of cables. Very professional, efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. Not only does he make sure that you understand all the issues, but also he will frankly tell you if this is not something he can do. Reasonably priced too. read more
