Thank God for their early recognition, but the company is so thoughtful and professional they cleared their calendar, ordered the material, completed the repairs, and installed my EV charger within the same week of noticing the problem.

We hired this company because we saw their trucks in our neighborhood and were VERY impressed with…read moretheir service! We needed them to fix up some electrical issues uncovered on our house during a resale inspection and they were honest, professional and did a great job! During the estimate process we covered everything we had issues with in person. They walked us through the steps they would take to fix the issues and gave us a fair estimate as well as options when available. They were clear to explain the options in terms we could understand with explanations of why they preferred one to another. On the day of the work they ran into some unexpected issues that could only be uncovered while the work was on-going and were VERY quick with alerting us, letting us know what options we had at that point and then moving forward with the work. I appreciated how up-front they were with us at every step along the way. It was great working with them! They were all professional and did a fabulous job cleaning up after the work - you wouldn't have known they were ever there! We were very impressed with how thorough they were. Their work was great, they have friendly electricians and we love being able to use a local company! Kudos to McDermott Electric for a job well done - thank you! :-)

We have a 35 year-old house, and many of our outlets and switches need rewiring. These are repaired for free because we have a contract with NOVEC Solutions. However, every time the electricians come to our house, I ask them to install new fixtures as well. The electricians are outstanding, and the prices are extremely reasonable. Last week, for example, they installed 5 light fixtures for $125 after completing the NOVEC Solutions repair. Capable, efficient, polite, knowledgable, and fast describe the electricians--and the service given by the person who answers the telephone and Mr. McDermott, the owner of the company.

Found the issue quickly and explained to me that it was a loose connection. They fixed the issues fairly quickly and their fee is more than reasonable. Reliable folks, we will definitely ask them for help in the future.

We've worked with Meyer Electric on several projects, most recently a major electrical upgrade…read more(heavy-up) to support two new induction stoves and a heat pump water heater. They've also handled kitchen lighting and other electrical work throughout our home, and every experience has been excellent. Nikola and David are exceptionally careful, knowledgeable, and thoughtful in their approach. Their pricing is fair, and they are great problem-solvers--always finding ways to minimize disruption to the rest of the house. They're true artists when it comes to pulling wiring, managing to make complex connections without opening up walls unnecessarily. They were also incredibly helpful navigating the complexities of the D.C. permitting system, offering clear advice and handling details that could easily have become stressful. They were competitively priced. We trust them completely and highly recommend Meyer Electric for both major upgrades and detailed electrical work.

My Pepco meter box needed re-attaching to my house after a siding repair. Previously, the box was…read moresnugly attached within a frame on the siding. The Meyer electrician carelessly re-attached the box more than a full 2" below where it was, at the top of the frame (see photos). The box's misplacement now interferes with waterproofing the siding of my house, so I am now taking bids from other electricians just to raise the box. Upon seeing the photographs after the repair below, a contractor of my acquaintance commented, "That does look a bit shabby." I sent Walt Meyer an email with the photographs, with the comment that nobody should be proud of the job. His only response was to send me my paid invoice. Shabby is part of the company ethic. One review starts with "Don't do it. Just plain do it." I concur. The company takes no pride in its work. You may get lucky, but the company is cheap because it does not stand behind its work.

The work required was for three soffit lights installed in the 3 peaks of my home. Received quote very quickly with a discount of $50 per light from $400 to $350 per/ light and a very professional scope of work to include insurance information (my requirement was licensed and insured). I thought everything was good and attempted to make first installment. Quinn declined and told me to wait (1st redflag)-weird - who turns down $$$? Tim Eddings arrives on Friday (9/23/22) @4pm to commence work thinking that all I needed was bulbs changed. What?!!! Did you not read your own scope of work? I showed it to him and the cost went up by $450 from $1,113 to $1563. (2nd redflag) . Quinn Marcel is on the phone and states that he (Quinn) doesn't know this type of work - well how can you price it Sir? Once Tim realizes what the work entails, he then reschedules to 9/29/22 and states he will have help. I had already sent a picture of my house to Quinn - not certain if he shared it with Tim. Tim and Moses arrive at my house and ask me, "Do you have the lights?" No I don't - the quote states that you all will provide materials, labor and supplies. Tim then says, okay. I'll go get them - home depot. He comes back with floodlights VS soffit lights. (3rd redflag) . . eventually I'm going to stop counting the flags because there are too many . . SMH! Tim comes back with "acceptable" lights - his partner (Moses) is busy running wires through my attic and there are two hanging out waiting for light installs right now. Scary part(s) - my husband, at work, but calling with questions had me go outside and ask how they plan to seal the holes being drilled into our home to prevent leakage from rain. Tim laughs and tells me that that is not his line of work. Really?! and he proceeds to drill right through the BRICK of my garage which is 2 feet below the peak of where the light is supposed to be. He tells me that he can't reach the peak but didn't ask if this was okay to install the light 2 feet lower than my request and outside the scope of work! I told him this is UNACCEPTABLE and he informs me he needs a taller ladder. My husband tells him, he will pay for the rental of a taller ladder from Home Depot and Tim calls and finds they don't rent them anymore. Today is 9/30/22 and we are expecting the remnants of Hurricane Ian for the next 4 days (rain) so work cannot be completed until next Wednesday (10/05/22). Tim thinks he has another 3-hours of work ahead of him to complete this job. I currently think this job was too big for him and now I cannot reach Quinn Marcel or any other person at their "headquarters". Tim also asked me, if I believed in Conspiracy Theory? What? Not when my home is being hacked and drilled in areas that I cannot see! Very unprofessional. Update: After providing feedback to the contractor, we went in another direction and had the job completed by another contractor within 3 hours and they UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT.

I had a Fairfax County inspector come in to see what had been done so far. It failed. The inspector asked if I was sure the person who did the work had been licensed. Some places he had used too small a cable, other cables went back and forth between boxes, and in some places he'd put three lines where only two should go. I hired a new company and they also asked if a licensed electrician had done the work they were so incredulous. It's cost me almost $5,000 to redo the poor work City Lights had done. And then I found out that when he pulled our meter in April he had put it back in UPSIDE DOWN. We have an old meter so it will let power flow while upside down but will not register any use. As a result Dominion thought we were trying to steal electricity and pulled the meter without warning. It took me hours of phone calls, the intervention of our new electricians, and $1500 in cash to get our meter restored. Of course that left a black mark on our credit report. This was to date the single worst experience I'd even had with a contractor. And yes, I have photos and documentation.
