I discovered this morning that I had a circuit that kept short-circuiting, and as someone who's…read morealways been nervous about electrical issues, I went straight to Google and Yelp for help. I found Harris Electrical, saw they were a local DC company with great reviews, and decided to reach out. I texted the numbers listed and learned they're brothers, Mike and Max Harris, carrying on the business their dad started. I texted them at 6 a.m. and got an immediate response. They asked for pictures of the breaker and the issue, diagnosed it quickly, and offered same-day service. Communication was incredibly easy and clear, all by text. Max arrived right on time, identified the short, and fixed it efficiently. They were professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and honestly just great to work with. I can't speak more highly of them. This is exactly the kind of trustworthy local business you want in DC. Highly recommend Harris Electrical.

I rarely leave reviews but José really left a positive impression and I'd highly recommend his…read moreservices. José tackled several complex jobs in our home, including 1) a tricky kitchen island outlet installation that required fishing wires through multiple cabinets to a transformer box under the sink, 2) adding an upstairs bathroom outlet for a bidet, and 3) installing 5 ceiling lights on 9- and 10-foot ceilings while troubleshooting some imperfect rough-ins left by our builder. José was exceptionally friendly, positive, and informative, going above and beyond to answer all of our questions while remaining completely upfront and honest about his expertise and pricing. What really set José apart was his incredible flexibility and efficiency. I work from home and frequently had to step away for calls, and he seamlessly oriented his tasks around our schedule to ensure zero disruption to my workday... He completed everything efficiently and at a very fair price. He furthermore cleaned up various dust/debris and followed up the next day with some recommendations for new devices. Overall left us with high-quality work and a great feeling that we hired the right guy. Would absolutely recommend José and work with him again!

Mr Nathaniel Sims was able to come out on the same day I called to remove a ceiling fan from my…read moremaster bedroom. My husband, who is has very high standards for service providers said "Nate definitely knows what he is doing!" Apparently our ceiling fan connection connection made removal a little difficulty but Nate figured it out and completed the job in no time flat! He was very responsive and let us know what time he would arrive and he was right on Time. I will be using this company to install several ceiling fans in my new home. Hopefully, they will send Nate again!!!

Nathaniel of Wired Connecting the District is my go to electrician! I had him upgrade my panel and…read morerewire my entire 1940s house to make it safe to live in, which he completed on time and on budget. He also installed lighting throughout the house and advised on best placement and color temperature. I also had him complete new electrical for a kitchen renovation on short notice. Nathaniel is incredibly responsive and honors his Warranty. In December, my new disconnect failed and Nate fixed it within 24 hours, handling communication with the electric company in the interim. Nate is a wonderful person as well, going above and beyond when he witnessed a package being stolen from my house and a peeping Tom on another occasion. Nate has also been incredibly gracious when dealing with a difficult general contractor while I was going through health issues. I will be using Nate for all my future electrical needs. Nate is worth every penny - you will not regret hiring him.

Wow, I've had a totally different experience from the person below. ARJ has been my general…read morecontractor for two of my properties and did a two-floor remodel for my friend. Raj is extremely responsive and will usually get back to you the same day. He's often able to get the work done within a week or two if you are in a rush. In my main home, Raj completed my Kitchen and front bathroom remodel. There was a hiccup when we opened a wall and found the vents flowing through but we found a solution that only tacked on I think $800. But, things like this happen when you start to tear a house apart without the blueprint. When we sold eventually sold our home, he was able to also do a lot of small jobs to get our house on the market. In my condo in Laurel, Raj's team was able to replace the bathroom faucet. He also replaced the broken patio door. I won't disagree with the previous review regarding the level of work. There were times where you could clearly see flaws or poor workmanship. However, once the work is completed and you alert Raj, he will send someone to complete the work to your liking. He really does try to work with you. His prices are beyond reasonable. If you want the work permitted, he will do it, it will just cost slightly more. Hope this review was helpful. Feel free to ask me a question. I would love to help him grow his business. He has definitely helped me a lot!

Mike did an amazing job repairing our leaky basement window! I reached out via email to show some…read morepictures of the damage. He replied back with an estimate and some times he could come out. He showed up on time, examined the window with me and laid out a plan for the repair. After working on it for a bit he brought me back down for an update: there was a lot more water damage than we expected. We made a new plan to replace more of the frame. There were a couple more surprises that kept expanding the job (more rotten wood, an old rats nest in the wall above the removed window, brick damage caused by the rotten beam bowing and not supporting the bricks above the window properly). The job ended up being a lot bigger and more expensive than expected (2.5 day job rather than 0.5 day; billing is by the hour and very straightforward), but I couldn't be happier with the work and the process. Rather than a quick patch job I ended up with a solid, long-term fix. Here are a few more reflections on working with Mike: -Great communication. Mike gave me frequent updates, walking me through what he found and what the options were. -I never felt like I was being upsold. Mike was very collaborative and empathetic when showing me problems and discussing solutions. -Mike's knowledge and skillset goes deep. If this had been a simple window sealant job with a frame board replacement I'm sure he (and probably lots of other handymen) would handle it great. But as we peeled back the onion and found more complexity it became clear how well he understands houses and how to make them work the way they're supposed to. Mike and Renaissance will definitely be my go-to for future handyman / painting / renovations needs. Thank you Mike!
