I had called several other places and none of them were as practical as these guys. As soon as the two electricians came by, they got to work by taking the fan up into the attic, finding a good enough power source to create an additional line, and were finished within an hour or so. They were all business, in and out, very efficient. Not very personable, but they did communicate their efforts without running into any difficulties. Definitely Experienced electricians. I would surely recommend this business if you need something installed --and don't want to go through the business of wasting a morning talking to someone else, who will charge you more. Nice job guys!

I had an initial quote from a company charging about 1000 under Alex's price and in the interest of saving money I went with them. In the end the quote was not accurate and the contractor wanted 2000 more, this quote did not even include AFCI breakers at that price which Alex let me know were required for my job. Going with the cheapest quote was inaccurate, not up to code, and now costing me more. Alex spent his valuable Sunday evening to go over how I can resolve this billing dispute with the other contractor.

Ready Electric

I'm so happy I found Ready Electric. I've managed our company's building and facilities for almost…read more20 years, and finding a reliable, honest electrician has always been difficult. JR was professional from the beginning. He arrived on time for the assessment, explained everything clearly, and provided a quote right away. When I had an issue with our original scheduled date, they were very flexible and worked with me to reschedule the job for an earlier day. They arrived on time, completed quality work, cleaned up after themselves, and were very easy to work with. Their pricing was also very competitive. Ready Electric is a great family business, and I truly appreciate their professionalism, flexibility, and help. I will definitely use them again and refer them to others.

I had an emergency situation that ultimately called for a full panel upgrade. We scheduled a visit…read moreto check out the problem the next day, which was not an emergency inspection or anything. He came to check out the problem and give me a quote. Overall, he was thorough in explaining stuff. What rubbed me the wrong way was how after I asked him for a quote and told him I have one other person checking it out to give me a quote, his tone changed. I explained that this is an expensive project and it would be dumb to just get your price and go with it without checking with at least one other company. I'm not made out of money here. He then gave me the quote and it was literally like twice the range of most panel upgrades. I get that you're licensed, but so are most of these companies. I feel like because of my situation (Edison had cut the power to my place), he was just taking advantage. Admittedly, I was desperate to get it fixed, but I'm not going to pay almost 12k for something that costs around 5k. So he gives me the quote breakdown and four options (all way over average prices), and then I say thanks and that again, someone is also going to stop by and take a look and I'll text him either way. He then gave me a guilt trip about how they reserved the day for me and how it sucks that I'm not just taking the job. At that point, even if the second guy wasn't going to work out, I was not going with this company. Fortunately, the second guy (also licensed) that came was able to pull some strings and get everything done --meter checked, permitted--the next day for a fraction of what Ready Electric quoted me. Power is back on and I didn't spend more than I needed to. For those of you needing electric work: shop around. Oftentimes we need this kind of work done ASAP, but companies will definitely take advantage as was this case. 3 stars because they responded quick and did explain things thoroughly. Clarification based on Ready Electric's reply: The quote was $11,600 for a standard panel upgrade. Yes, my panel was in bad shape, but I was not misrepresenting the situation. If anything, to suggest that your most affordable option was $1k when it was really (according to you) not really an option at all (with zero warranty even) and to leave out your main recommendation (the panel upgrade) is misrepresentative. I credit you for going out of your way and explaining stuff, and I would imagine that as a business, that part of the getting business is time-consuming. Apparently there was an inspection fee that was waived, and the gentlemen that came even asked, "how did you get the inspection fee waived?" Well, no fee was ever mentioned upon calling and making an appointment, and had there been, I would have never made the appointment in the first place. You mentioned that you understand people would get a second opinion and that's good; however, the whole reason I wrote my review (which I rarely do) was because of the guilt trip I was given for doing so. It was unnecessary and a poor persuasion technique. If I were to have said I have another guy coming to get a second opinion and you were like, "absolutely, just let us know if you decide to move forward with us," I would have never wrote my review, or I would've written one that praised the thoroughness of your quoting process. Also, the guy I went with was a referral from my brother's current contractor, but he has never worked with any of us directly. So we didn't have an existing relationship or anything. In fact, when I told him what i was quoted, he laughed and said that's just people trying to take advantage. Again, the point of my review was ultimately to warn people to shop around and not go with the first quote you get, especially if you're in a pinch like I was. Another day without electricity is worth not getting ripped off.

This review is long overdue…read more My husband and I bought our house in 2022 and the first things we wanted to do was install our car charger and have someone look at our old electric to figure out if we needed to prioritize upgrades. Primo was the third company we reached out to for estimates and we chose them off of good vibes and competitive prices. I'm grateful for it. These guys are solid, honest people and won't recommend things you don't need. In fact, if you have a wild idea for something that is unnecessary or costly, they'll tell you up front so you know in advance. In addition to doing things the right way, they're respectful. I've chatted with a few companies about various house projects and David and Jesse treated me (a woman) like my input matters just as much as my husband's. It signals competence, excellence, and professionalism when, even though I say "my husband is the boss," a contractor checks with me just in case. And, it prevents arguments down the road. We've rehired Primo for light fixture swaps, outlet adds, new switch fixtures, and we plan to hire them for our upcoming upgrades because they're all around good people who do good work. Primo is a business that you root for, and are proud to support as a customer. We'll continue to work with Primo on our electric needs for all of these reasons and more. Thanks, guys!

MDM Custom Remodeling

I reached out to MDM back in early 2025 and met with Mike right away so he could look at my…read moreproperty and walk me through what my wife and I wanted for our project. Throughout the entire process, Mike was very professional and the level of expertise he exhibited was obvious. Before Mike, I had met with 3 other contractors to compare services and quotes but what sealed the deal for me was the 3D render service Mike offered. It was affordable and it would be free if you end up going with MDM for your remodel. Mike was able to get the renderings to me very quickly and made adjustments whenever we wanted to change something. Seeing the details of the renderings really brought what we were envisioning to life and helped with the design process. Fast forward to beginning of demo/construction, Mike's employees were impressively fast and efficient at their jobs, but what really impressed me was how clean they kept our property after each day of work. And that stated true throughout the entire process of our 7 month renovation. During construction, if there were any last minute changes, Mike would always try to cater to our needs whenever possible. Even if subcontractors made mistakes with anything, Mike would make sure it is fixed and perfect right away. Keep in mind, you can't rely on Mike for everything (as much as you might want to). You really do have to do your research (in terms of design, finishing materials, sourcing those materials, and getting them delivered on time) and know exactly what you want and how you want it, that way, Mike can plan and put into action what needs to be done. After this entire process, we are extremely happy we got this project completed with MDM. What really sets them apart is the quality of work, dependability, and the great people that work for MDM. Shoutout to Mario! They really respected our home and were very considerate of us during construction. Even after everything was finished, they guaranteed that they would come back and fix anything that needed fixing. Cannot recommend them enough if you want to improve or build your new home!

I contacted HandyLion on the same day and received a prompt response within five minutes, accompanied by the most competitive quote for the requested services. My needs included the unboxing and setup of a television console, a dropped-leaf kitchen table, and a 65-inch television. Two individuals arrived at my residence, exhibiting professionalism and punctuality. They adhered to hygiene protocols by wearing shoe covers, which they removed when exiting the premises and replaced upon re-entering. Additionally, they utilized gloves throughout their work. Their dedication and focus on the assigned tasks were commendable, and they successfully completed the project within my 570 square foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) without any difficulties. I have no reservations in recommending HandyLion. They demonstrate a high level of professionalism and offer their services at a very reasonable price. read more

I got a quote, there was a little confusion when the worker came out about the work that was supposed to get done, fixing my door, frame, trim and threshold - but we worked it out. The worker completed the frame and as we agreed. That's the extent of the work that was satisfactory. The work he did to fit the door, frame and new threshold were truly awful. Slapped a piece of wood onto the bottom of the door to make it fit the new frame and a lazy sloppy paint job, and then the door would not close correctly. The worker returned another day to fix the door, it closed correctly for maybe a week, then would not close correctly. I asked them to come fix the sloppy paint job and door, the worker returned at night and somehow did an impossibly worse paint job and the door still does not close correctly. They came out a 3rd time, door does not close correctly. I asked them to come fix the job AGAIN, and they insisted I have to pay them now to fix it - a third time - THE DOOR THEY JUST INSTALLED THAT WON'T EVEN CLOSE. That's tops on the list of what I want a door to do ya know? ON top of all this they used wood for the threshold on an exterior door - not metal, and painted it white, so it immediately got destroyed. The trim around the door is already coming apart off the wall, the shoddy threshold is warped and has separated from the ground. It was just not a good job , and the worker was so indignant about how the job was underquoted and how hard it was etc etc. I think it was his own incompetence and they just didn't posses the skills to do the job correctly. If they didn't feel comfortable using the existing door and building the new frame, they should have passed or used a pre hung door. I will never hire them for any work again. And to top things off the worker demanded payment from my wife for the "completed" job while I was away at work - because it took so long to finish I had to leave - she paid them not knowing any better...Everyone lost here , they felt like they didn't get paid enough, I'm not happy with the work and will have to spend more money to get it fixed...ln the end these guys were only a Mighty Headache.
