"Nelson Electric is the best electrical contractor I’ve used in my thirty-eight years of owning and updating my homes. It is difficult to find an excellent contractor who is willing to take on a major remodeling project in old construction, and who handles it efficiently, cost-effectively, and with perfection. This time we were remodeling a 110 year-old bathroom. When we got down to the studs, joists, and rafters, the plans were worthless because of all the surprises. Unphased, the crew was able to trace every hidden wire to destination and source, re-route them as needed, install a new, larger, circuit breaker box, pull wire through neatly, clearly identify and label everything, and finish beautifully the lighting, overhead heating, floor heating, and exhaust fixtures, making for a beautiful bath. Thank you, Scott!"

"Hristo did a wonderful job! I’ve never hired an electrician before but he came out and installed ceiling fans in all three of my bedrooms, most of it done in one day. I would definitely hire him again and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs electrical work done. Thanks Hristo, you’re the best!"

"Save yourself a lot of time, effort and frustration by calling Eddie first. He is fantastic! He returned my (Sunday) call within 20 minutes, scheduled me within a timeframe that met my needs and arrived when he said he would. Eddie comes prepared, is ultra competent, extremely conscientious, friendly and his work is flawless - everything you want, and more, in an electrician. In addition, his pricing is very fair and he is an absolute pleasure to deal with. Thanks a million, Eddie!"

"John is not an ethical person. He doesn't care about the client or the job, only wants to make sure he covers his butt. For my job he actually hired a handyman! John is not a handyman. He's all about writing up the contract and buying the materials. He planned to finish trimming out a window in a shower using wood, with no water proofing. I googled some waterproof solutions, but because they were more complicated and intense, he wanted out. Do not hire this guy, he could care less about you and your project!"
