"First of all, Greg Emert answered the phone on January 2nd (New Years Day observed holiday). He was honest about his workload and called back later in the day when he couldn't make it. He showed up early today as promised, and quickly isolated and repaired the problem. He charged me a fair price and didn't try to make it into a large project. Very decent guy, very professional. I'd hire him again."

"Booked an appointment on Sunday and Travis came out the following day to install two outdoor lights. Great customer service and talked me through the steps. He completed a home inspection to highlight areas of need for future projects. A little over priced but due to it being electrical, I rather pay the money needed to get the projected completed safety."

"We really wanted to give Wisler Plumbing an excellent review because Brian Wisler and every worker was very likable, considerate, and courteous. We were impressed with Brian's professionalism when presenting the proposal for our MBR renovation. He provided an itemized list of materials, detailed scope of work, and daily timeline. His quote was in line with the other estimates we received. We appreciated Brian's willingness to accommodate specific design elements we wanted. He offered valuable advise and suggestions in the design process, and spent a considerable amount of time assisting in the selection of fixtures and tile options. However, there were certain issues encountered during the renovation which we felt were not up to the standard of excellence which we expected.
The Wisler crew was usually punctual and communicated sufficiently throughout the project. They covered the flooring throughout the work area with a quality protective covering. The demo process went fairly smoothly, except several drywall screws were pushed out of the adjacent hall and closet walls, which was later repaired. They did a satisfactory job with the framing, rough-in plumbing and electrical. The drywall/plaster crew's work was less than satisfactory. They mixed drywall compound in the bedroom (splattering compound on the walls) when they could have mixed the compound in the bathroom where mess was not an issue. In our contract, we specifically requested to skim the walls (with plaster.) They skimmed the walls with drywall compound (softer than plaster); subsequently, every time something bumps into the walls, the compound chips requiring patching and re-painting.
We were very impressed with Nathan, the tile installer. He was meticulous, offered experienced advice, and did an excellent job with the tile installation. He even worked through the weekend to maintain the work schedule. The tile looks fantastic and I would highly recommend Nathan for any tile work.
We were also impressed with Roanoke Glass, who fabricated and installed the glass shower enclosure and mirrors. We specifically requested obscured tempered glass for the shower, but the wrong glass was ordered. The gentleman from Roanoke Glass was very accommodating; and although his time and material was wasted, he exhibited considerable patience and professionalism. 
Another issue was that after the tile installation, the existing door frames were 1/2" above the floor. When the original floor tile and underlayment was removed and replaced with Schluter membrane and new tile, it left a very noticeable gap between the tile and door frames. They filled in the gaps with caulk, which was an easy and reasonable remedy...but considering the cost of this project, it doesn't reflect superior quality work. 
The concerns we had with Wisler's performance was a result of their carelessness and inattention to detail. We don't believe they do inferior work, but they often neglected to follow specifications in the scope of work. The schedule was disregarded near the end, therefore the job was not completed on time (2 weeks over.) To his credit, Brian addressed and attempted to resolve the issues we had to the best of his ability; but some issues (like the drywall compound skimmed walls) could not be repaired. Overall, we are satisfied with the renovation...but there were certainly some unnecessary complications along the way. Although the Wisler crew was very cordial and courteous, we will probably consider other contractors for future projects.

FAQs for electrical service projects in Salem, 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.
