After some initial miscommunications about the job, things didn't quite turn out the way I hoped, but Luis, the company owner came out himself to make sure things were resolved. And even though the scope of the project increased, he insisted on completing the job at the original rate (although I'm not going to let him, because the scope had increased substantially, and that is clearly my own doing). When working with someone new, it's always a toss up on how things will go when unexpected difficulties arise, and I'm very pleased in how Luis does business. Six-stars! UPDATE: the job is done and we are awaiting inspection this week. The pictures speak for themselves. We are extremely satisfied with our Tesla Wall connector Gen 3 installation. Luis went up and over our garage with EMT to get to the nearby panel. He had to upgrade a breaker to a double pole 60A breaker and also had to update the breaker that goes to the subpanel in the main panel to 100A. Tesla had sent us a bad wall connector the first time around and advised us remotely that the electrical work done was perfect and that all power levels were as expected. Luis insisted on coming out himself anyhow to double check everything even though I assured him it was Teslas wall connector. Sure enough the wiring was perfect and when the new wall connector arrived I popped it on and everything worked like magic.

Excellent communication and initially a fair estimate…read more However, the following day the technician arrived an hour late to do the work. I was quoted $200 to install a Blink Wired Floodlight Camera and Blink Video Doorbell. Then, upon realizing there was no power to the light switch, the technician just left my old wires exposed after removing the old outdoor light fixture. Just moved in, so I wasn't sure what was going on with that switch. So I asked if he could fix it, while he was here. His response was "he had to call his boss to get an estimate and that it had to be done another day because it was too late." At this point the technician offered to install the Blink Video Doorbell for $100. I guess in his mind, it was half the work, so half the price... Again, I was given an estimate in person, the day before for installation of both. The Video Doorbell is maybe 1/8th of an inch off center. He did a decent enough job. For $100 to drill two holes, I would've liked it dead center. Then the next morning I received an email with an estimate for $525, to fix the power and install the floodlight.

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.

Victor's quote came in a bit below some competing offers, while he was also able to get us booked within a week of confirming the quote. The crew was friendly and professional, cleaning up as they go, with minimal collateral dust or damages. They patched up behind them and left us with a very easy few finishing touches for the painters. Overall, a fantastic value with quality that exceeded our vision and we are incredibly pleased with the end product. VAR has definitely earned their 5 star rating and we are happy to contribute to their rating all the same!

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!

They have helped us completely renovate two bathrooms with custom showers, cabinets, and non standard tiles, retiled and painted our basement, painted our staircase wooden railings, and installed marmoleum flooring in our kitchen. Each time, David came up with creative and viable options for us, advised and accommodated us on any custom requests, kept us up to date on timeline, and made sure to check in with us on any decisions as the project evolved. David's crew is also very skilled, professional, courteous, and meticulous. They all have a very high sense of quality as evidenced by how well the tile fitting and flooring came out (we live in an old row house so nothing is straightforward). David also has a network of special contractors that he pulls in for special tasks (like installing a glass shower door). Their pricing is also reasonable , especially considering the value and peace of mind you get with David and his crew's professionalism.

I literally can't say enough good things about him. Not only did he fix all my electrical issues, he reattached a vaccum holder to the wall that we had to remove for him to get through the wall. He literally did not have to do that at all. He just went above and beyond. Extra mile. I'm SO SO glad that I found him on Yelp. Believe the hype.

Because I had already incurred that cost, I decided to move forward with an additional service, which appeared to be completed well. The technician was quick, responsive, and completed the work thoroughly, which is why I'm giving 3 stars instead of fewer. My biggest recommendation is to communicate pricing clearly before the appointment, especially the $250 minimum diagnostic fee. If I had known that in advance, I would have been much less surprised by the final cost. I also have a hearing impairment, so verbal communication can be difficult for me. While Emerson did a thorough job, communicating estimates and pricing through Yelp messages or text would have made the experience much smoother.
