"Brad did an amazing job at an excellent price. It was obvious that other electricians were charging too much, but Baker Electrical gave us a very fair price. They were truly professional and did outstanding work. I have a few more jobs and Baker Electrical is the only electrical contractor I will consider hiring. I highly recommend Brad and his team, they were a pleasure to work with."

"They were amazing. The lights and vent came out great. Mr. Electric of Chesapeake went above and beyond in our project. Mr. Byron was the technician helping and he was very informative and had great communication with us during the project. I had to be in class and let them in the house they were honest and respectful of the house. Thank you again for a great job."

"Norva Electric act quickly when I told them that half of the house didn’t have electricity, He was very understanding, he did trouble shoot the problem with the breaker and a socket and re- wired a outdoor light fixture. I was very please with his work. I t didn’t take long at all. I would definitely be calling Norva again for future work."

"Mr.Josh Caterbone is a Master Electrician and his skills are top notch. You can complain about his prices but I want yâ all to know, you get more than what you paid for. Josh is a true stalwart electrician and person. When he tells you something that he will do, he does it and completes the job effortlessly. He provided me a new service hook up& install on my new metal building. This is the electrician I enthusiastically recommend you hire himâ ¦. You will not be disappointed!"

"E C Electronics did a great job installing our 65" OLED TV. Hid wires, to the AV system up and running, etc. They also took our ceiling fan down, mounted two Ring Door Bells (ran electric for one of them, mounted a Ring Flood cam and a few other misc. items. They communicated very well about everything. I would definitely hire them again!"

FAQs for electrical service projects in Portsmouth, VA

Always start by confirming the pro’s license number, insurance coverage, and experience level. Visit the electrician’s website, scan recent customer reviews, and verify credentials with your local labor department. Request proof of liability insurance and at least two references that you can contact. These quick checks take only a few minutes but go a long way toward ensuring safe, code-compliant work and protecting your home in the event of an issue.

Grouping several electrical jobs into one appointment means you pay a single service-call fee and one set of travel expenses. Instead of asking a pro to return three separate times for outlets, switches, and fixtures, have everything tackled in one visit. The electrician stays productive, and you avoid extra trip charges, often shaving a sizable chunk off the final bill without compromising quality.

DIY electrical work can be dangerous and, in many areas, illegal without a license. One miswired connection risks shocks, fires, or expensive damage. Licensed electricians carry the right tools, follow local code, and know how to shut down power safely before they start. Hiring a pro may cost more upfront, but it protects your home, family, and insurance coverage in the long run.
