I went with Edison because of the good reviews. Joe was fine--the work was quality, I'm sure, and…read morehe was both friendly and thorough. There was no up front quote prior to the service fee being charged, and while I expected I might pay a premium, it would up being over 50% more than another quote I got. I would consider the company itself to be opportunistic and somewhat manipulative. The service fee does not roll into the project itself as it would at a mechanic, but does make you feel committed to them. That fee includes a whole house eval, which was then used to try to sell me every kind of upgrade possible. Since I paid the fee, I used the opportunity to ask about some electrical codes for things I'm considering doing myself, and there was no hesitation to price it out for me in case I wanted the work done. When it came time to present the potential options, they were presented as financing options--definitely a sales tactic to get me to commit to spending on these extras projects, which would have been triple the cost of the one thing I called them for. My idea of a good contractor is one that presents options with honesty and warns me when something is a problem, and this was opportunistic. I'd look elsewhere.

I can't recommend Michael highly enough. We needed to replace very old/ancient wiring for a ceiling…read morelight, and after having other electricians look at the job, it seemed like wall and ceiling damage was inevitable. This electrician found a smart, creative solution that others didn't, avoiding damage. That alone was impressive. What really stood out was the communication and follow-up. From the first interaction, everything was clear, timely, and professional. He showed up fully prepared for multiple scenarios, which made the whole process efficient and stress-free. Michael is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly takes pride in doing things the right way. There was zero pressure or upselling--just honest recommendations with real integrity. You can tell he's focused on long-term safety and quality, not quick fixes. Michael was also clean, respectful of our home, and left the space better than expected after the work was done. On top of that, he went above and beyond to make sure the final result was done exceptionally well, not just "good enough." (And he was so kind and patient with my dogs!) If you're looking for an electrician who is skilled, thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about doing excellent work, this is the one to call. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again or recommend them to anyone.

Scheduling was easy, they showed up when they said they would, and the technician took the time to explain what was going on and what the options were before starting any work. The repair itself was done quickly and cleanly, and the quality is obvious, everything works perfectly and they left the area in great shape. What really stood out was the pricing: it felt genuinely fair for the scope of work, with no surprise add-ons or "gotchas" once they were on site. Professional, transparent, and high-quality. If you need a plumber in the Twin Cities, I'd absolutely call Randy's again.
