Service Upgrade

I heard Newman Electric on the radio and wow what a find. We are doing a renovation that included bringing down walls and moving light switches, as well as replacing the fuse box with a new distribution panel and providing new wiring to install lighting on a concrete ceiling. They provided a quote which was very fair and were excellent in doing the work and providing further information and help as to our wiring needs. We will definitely be calling him again for further work in stage 2 of our renovation. The electrician also had great suggestions as to lighting which we found very helpful.

Broken promises and rude staff

Electrical work done was -in my estimation- sloppy and lazy, I believe it is up to code, but it did not wow me. The electrician promised me a receptacle next to my new panel, but when he didn't deliver, I followed up and was told he didn't have to do it. The Electrician also carved a jagged hole in my brick facade with a drill bit he 'Dug Around' with and then joked that he 'should have gone back to the office for the proper hole saw'. While at my house both the electrician the his apprentice disparaged the company's estimator/salesman and said he didn't know what he was talking about. My experience with the company afterwards was even worse. What began with surly, ignorant, and rude service from the bookkeeper, was extended by their dispatcher. They were paid as agreed when the job was estimated with the exception of $50 missed by the lawyers (on a $3,800 job). The treatment that ensued was nothing short of rude, acting as if I was some sort of deadbeat. Saying things like "You haven't paid us in 4 months" when they received 90% of the money inside 30 days and the other 9% within 60 days (Standard mortgage rules for home improvements). My personal experience with this company (Both electricians and office staff) ensures I will never ever do business with them again.

Home rewiring and upgrading

This was the total for the three different jobs they did for us. Professional, easy to deal with. Quote was exactly what they said it would be, and when they said they would be there, they always were. I would highly recommend them to any homeowner looking to have electrical work done in their home.

Electrical service

When we had a problem with an unknown power outage, we called Newman Electric and they were very prompt with their service. The electrician who came to our home was very respectful and professional. Thumbs up!
