Steve Woolf, owner of Woolf Electric - Licensed Contractor License #430834: - I called Steve Woolf a licensed electrical contractor after reading his reviews. Steve sent Ryan, his son. And when I asked Ryan if he was a licensed electrician, he stated "I'm the face behind the name" never revealing that he was not a licensed electrician. - When questioning Ryan about the position of an outside motion light he installed, he referred me to Steve Woolf stating that he was only a handyman. When talking to Steve Woolf he indicated that Ryan was a licensed electrician. However, when I asked him for Ryan's electrical license number for verification, he did not provide Ryan's electrical license number for verification. - After talking to Steve Woolf regarding the matter of where the motion light was placed, neither he nor Ryan made the correction of the electrical work in question. read more

Hello Yelper's: This will be a classic. If you're looking for an Electrician, look no further. This father and son duo are a godsend. It's almost impossible to find a reputable Establishment and/or individual these days in business that you can use such words as: * Honest * Integrity * Passionate * Trustworthy * Fair * People Friendly * Respectful They offer great pricing for quality dependable work. I know it's unheard of yet, Woolf Electric went above and beyond my expectations from my first inquiry for services. I am very happy with the services they provide which was reasonably priced! Synopsis of my prior three-week electrical nightmare: before I contacted Woof Electric. I was looking for an "Electrician" to work on three electrical outlets in my kitchen. 1st: (Everybody hit the floor, this is a stick-up)! After calling Express Electrical Services @ (213) 626-4277, (I don't remember the guys name but let's call him: John Dillinger, lol) he arrived and started with these Harry-Potter-Wand, theatrics': Which, I have characterized the experience as the Electrician waving his Green tipped, beeping light-saber (electrical voltage sensor) stating: "somethings wrong here!" Walking numerous times from my kitchen to the dining room area. "oh, there's most definitely something wrong here with your wiring: see, see, it's not supposed to do that". Long-story short, "he sates you need a new 200 amp. panel (@$12,000 Plus), or we can rebuild your existing one (@$6,000 plus)". The kicker was toward the end of his performance: (oh it's your garbage disposal outlet). And, he had the "gall" to ask me with a straight face "how much do you think this will cost you? Give, me a number!" Yeah, this man wanted to charge me $475.00 to change out a single electrical outlet (which costs $2.00 @ Home Depot, & the covers was not included). Finally, he stated "Oh, I cannot guarantee changing the outlet will fix your problem, because; you need a new electrical panel as I have priced you from our set-pricing book". He should be in movies from his performance and theatrics'. I paid him $89.00 per his service fee and sent him packing (just wow). 2nd: Anji's List (w/Incompetent Service Pro's). I called and scheduled for one of their Electricians. My initial assigned services pro (more like service knuckle-head) cancelled 1/2 hour before he was scheduled to start my project. He phoned me at to say "I don't do electrical!" I was thinking...really dude? You, were scheduled almost 5 days prior. And, now you called to cancel. Moving on...So, Anji's rescheduled a new (Knuckle-head) to replace the 1st flaky-Procrastinator. Ugh, this: New Tony dude was an unexperienced (four hour) nightmare. Subsequently, I believe Tony was not properly vetted by "Anji's List" before sending him into my residence to do my electrical job. Fact: Just because you own a voltage meter and some wire cutters doesn't make you an electrician. In short: Tony ran from my home in frustration leaving open outlets, wires exposed. Lastly, frying the mother-board of my refrigerator by using his voltage meter incorrectly while testing dual (hot) open posts of an: on/off electrical switch, which; inadvertency fried my beautiful stainless-steel refrigerator. He spent 3-1/2 hours trying to fix his errors in judgment and lacking skillset. Ugh. Note: any time a so-called experienced professional has to look on: YouTube/forums for step-by-step instructions how to problem solve is dangerous and/or momentously inexperienced. And, just possibly you shouldn't be servicing the public under the false impression using the title: Electrician. At the end of the day I have "Woolf Electric," now on speed dial for all of my future electrical needs. read more

Super pleased with Steve and Ryan Woolf. No long waits for an appointment and our Electrical issues were resolved quickly and efficiently. Great customer service from both of them. I trust their knowledge and expertise. Thank you! read more

Ryan is an exceptional ambassador of Woolf Electric. He was prompt courteous and provided great service. He resolved our electrical situation with authenticity and transparency. While I don's want to deal with any electrical challenges at our home, if something does happen, we look forward to working with Woolf Electric again. Gregory Warren Long Beach, CA read more

Pros all the way. They did rewiring on a kitchen and bathroom remodel. Also installed a generator transfer switch. All good work and fair prices. Think about hiring a cheap non licensed electrician and it will cost you more in the long run. Highly recommend! read more

It is rare to experience love at first sight but with this father and son duo that's what happened. Great customer service....came out the same day....diagnosed the issue in 2 minutes and repair was reasonably priced. Ryan offered great advice and is extremely knowledgeable about the world of electrics. I have found my "electrician soul mates"! read more

I'm fairly handy with electrical work, but when I couldn't get an outside light to work, I discovered an open neutral (a neutral wire not connected to the circuit). I looked around for a couple of hours, to no effect. Finally I called Woolf Electric (recommended by Angie's List). Mr. Woolf came out and in about 20 or 30 minutes (including moving furniture to get access to the wall outlets), he found and fixed the problem. Mr. Woolf is friendly and informative, not to mention very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Woolf Electric. His service is excellent and his prices are fair. read more

This company installed ceiling lights in whole house and I was very happy with the job. Price was very fair too . I will use them again for the next project in my house ...thank u read more

Stephen was great on the phone, looked at pictures I sent him and gave me advice about what I was trying to do. Turns out it would be more trouble than it was worth, but I surely appreciate the free advice and saving the cost of a house call. Thank you Woolf Electric! read more

A relative recommend Woolf to do some work around my mom's house (out of area for me so I didn't know who to call). They did really nice work, installing a complex lighting system during the kitchen remodel and also adding/upgrading generally because the house really hasn't been touched since it was built in the 60's. My mom now reco's Woolf to others. read more

Highly recommend Steve Woolf -- competent & professional. Steve did great work for us a few years ago. Then, this week, we had a weird thing happen where we lost power in two areas...but the panel was on. My husband is a talented handyman, so he pulled out voltmeters and whatnot to address the problem...to no avail. We needed to bring in professional help. I called Steve Woolf and he was able to deduce and fix the problem -- over the phone -- for free. I can't understand the negative comment someone else left -- unless they've mistaken this electrician (Woolf) with another local electrician that has a similar name (Wolfe). Or maybe it's some random person who enjoys dishing out generic negative labels. Either way, those words don't accurately reflect the electrician we know. read more

I contacted Mr. Woolf on Tuesday morning and bam there he was on my doorstep next afternoon. I had recently replaced some light switches, but now they were not working. I checked everything I could think of and dreaded calling an electrician. I could just see the dollars flying out the window. But not only did Mr. Woolf fix the problem in literally 5 minutes but he took the time to show me what I had done wrong and how he fixed it. The fee was more than reasonable for such great service. I would recommend Mr. Woolf any time!!! read more

Very flaky doesn't return calls doesn't keep steady work bounces around from job to job

I have to say that i was very happy with the job this company did. They are very professional and price was also very affordable. I would definitely recommend them. Great job! read more

Woolf Electric is AMAZING! I am a single woman who oftentimes feels like I take my chances in being ripped off when I am in need of household/automotive repairs. With Steve and Ryan at Woolf Electric, this is never an issue. I have used them for the last 15 years and they are honest, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and they take wonderful care of my electrical issues/needs. Recently, while working on another project, they discovered a very unsafe (not to code) problem with some outlets near my pool. I am very appreciative and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Woolf Electric! read more

Excellent!!! Came in and fixed/redid horrible electric done by another contractor. Steve does it RIGHT the first time. BEST OF THE BUSINESS!

The Einstein of electrical. Quick, reasonably priced and ridiculously knowledgeable. Fixed everything that needed fixed and methodically went through the process to diagnose and correct the faults. Great guy(s) great company. Will use again and definitely would recommend. read more

I never give reviews, but in the case of Woolf Electric I have to. We've had an on-going electrical problem for years rendering the front portion of our house to have no electricity. We used an extension cord for power. We finally decided to get the problem rectified, and went with a company recommended by friends. Well after several attempts lasting hours, the first electrician couldn't find the problem. By sheer coincidence we happened to meet an electrician from Woolf, who was not so elitist, you know the type, I'm an electrician, and my work will cost you millions. Well we scheduled an appointment with him, and he came out to the house. He must have spent 2 to 3 hours up in our attic and he couldn't find a thing. He went back to his boss/father and discussed the situation, and they came up with a solution. He came back out to our house went up to the attic, and discovered the problem within 1 hour. He could have charged us a fortune, but they didn't. If you want honesty, and people who enjoy the delight of helping others hire Woolf Electric. read more
