Bruce H. says, "He was here 15 minutes and found a contact problem . Made electrical contact socket adaptor which he straightened. Made electrical contact so I could turn on my garage light at the switch. I must have disturbed the contact while screwing in a light bulb. This is something I could have fixed myself so it makes me irritated that this was something I thought was a much bigger problem and also the fact that I was charged $175 for 15 minutes work. I pray that all my neighbors can be spared the need for an electrician." Read more

Sam C. says, "Juan and his son came to work on my house. Gave them five stars. Would recommend them to others. My only recommendations for the future... Power screwdrivers are your friend. It would be a good investment. (Power drills don't quite do the same job). A second recommendation is modern wall anchors are also your friend. Finally, for drywall, drywall screws are also your friend. Plus a spring loaded center-hole punch would make leveling and wall mounting stuff so much easier. Can get one at Harbor Freight for a buck or two. I thank Juan and J. Samuel for their hard work." Read more

How do I find a nearby electrician to hire?

  • Compare at least three free estimates from reputable electricians.
  • Select electrical companies that are licensed, bonded, and experienced.
  • Verify their insurance, worker’s compensation, and bond guarantees.
  • Look at their reviews on HomeGuide and Google.
  • Ask about their warranties and guarantees.
  • Ask for a written contract, warranty, and detailed estimate.
  • Be cautious of cheap electricians as quality may suffer.

After asking questions and verifying their credentials, hire the most qualified and affordable electrician near you.

What questions should I ask a local electrician?

The best residential electrical contractors are licensed, bonded, insured, and provide free estimates.

When looking for the best electrician, ask the following questions:

  • Are you licensed?
  • How long have you been in business?
  • Is your electrical work insured or bonded?
  • How much will my project cost? Can I get a written estimate?
  • Do you offer a warranty or guarantee?
  • Will you be performing the work or someone else?

Can I do electrical work myself?

Doing your own electrical work without a license is not recommended. Even small, simple electrical problems can be dangerous and lead to harming yourself or your home. Licensed electricians have specialized training to perform work safely without damaging your home.

Big thanks to this company! The quality of work, customer support, and communication just outstanding!

From day one, The Handy Helper did amazing work on multiple jobs at our house. From remodeling bathrooms to difficult reconstruction of structural defective areas we could not have been more pleased with the meticulous high quality aspects of the completed work. We experienced only super friendly, honest, positive and creative professionalism. As we proceeded with much of the work, we were guided constructively and always given feedback and ideas that made us comfortable and confident to proceed. In summary, The Handy Helper provided solutions to problems that were well above and beyond the scope of work planned. We would not hesitate to use the services again, and highly recommend for any project.
