"I had a great experience with Baker Electrical. He called me back very promptly after I submitted my request and discussed my issue with me, setting up clear expectations of prices prior to coming out. We had a few different issues and he helped us figure out the best solution. He's knowledgeable and very helpful. We will definitely be returning for business in the future."

"Cole Electric has good communication with the customer from your first inquiry, email & text follow up . They requested photos of what I need to address so they understand all aspects of the job. The office contacted me to say the electrician could arrive early. The 2 electricians were professional knowledgeable and addressed my concerns. The ceiling fan installed by someone else was missing screws on the down rod as well as other things not done correctly. They replaced the missing screws, rebuilt the fan and reinstalled it. No more wobble. The 2 under cabinet light fixtures were installed perfectly, no extra cables showing. You get what you pay for and Cole Electric electricians do the job right the first time. I recommend this company and will use them again."

Customers say: Quality work
"Levi and his team were very professional and did a great job of diagnosing, explaining, and fixing the issues I had. We were able to have a conversation about potentially upgrading my electrical wiring/service, and he was upfront and honest about the alternatives and what I actually needed. He took the time to explain things, and did not try to push me in a certain direction. I highly recommend!"

When it comes to electrical work, you need installers with the skills to install lasting surfaces, and our team can help you customize your home or commercial property.

In some states and municipalities, licensed and registered handypersons can change a light fixture and do minor electrical work. However, you should check with your state and local licensing boards before hiring a local handyperson. In most cases, it’s safer and more practical to hire an electrician for this job. It may cost more, but hiring a licensed electrician means they’ll get the work done to code.
Special light fixtures, known as damp-rated light fixtures, are recommended in bathrooms, particularly if they're near damp areas like showers and over the bathtub. However, in most locations, they’re not a strict requirement. For safety and longevity, damp-rated fixtures are a better choice. If you work with a lighting contractor in your area, they may be able to recommend the right kinds of fixtures for your space.
Yes, it’s possible to run a second light fixture to a switch, meaning the light switch would control more than one light fixture. Several factors can impact whether it’s possible and how much it will cost. In many cases, it may be easier and more affordable for the contractor to install independent light switches. Talk to your electrician about your idea to get their feedback.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
