5 Star Electric

I've been using Edwin Merino's little company for several years now. Edwin is hands on and meticulous. He lays down plastic and/or drop cloths so the area/carpet/bedding stay clean. He places ceiling lights, pendants right where I want them. He also disposes of all trash when he departs. These are the 2 key features I look for when hiring an electrician. That and a current license :)
On those rare occasions when he sends his guys, I have NOT been disappointed. On the rare occasion when something didn't turn out as I had hoped, Edwin has been great at resolving issues.

Edwin was superb! I've hired him on two different occasions to replace existing flourescent lights to philips hue and did a wonderful job. I was suprised how fast and efficient he was and price is very reasonable too. Highly recommended I wouldn't bother looking elsewhere!

This review is long overdue.

Edwin hands down is the most honest electrician ever.
Came out twice to our place for two separate problems. Both times I was extremely pleased with his services. Thanks Edwin. Much appreciated.


Prompt. Reliable. Affordable.

I found Edwin on Yelp because my longtime electrician was taking too long to get back to me. This was a blessing in disguise because I have a new go-to man for all my electrical needs.
I cannot say enough complimentary things about Edwin. Among them:
speediness of reply
courteousness
came to asses the job in under an hour, without charging me for it (something none of the other companies I reached out to would do)
gave me a very competitive and fair rate
started the job the next day
Edwin and his crew (a bunch of polite, nice and respectful guys) worked as cleanly and tidily as they could, which was impressive.
They worked quickly but thoroughly.
Edwin did not try and upsell me on anything but made me aware of issues that I should look at to be safe.
As always, lots of problems come up once you go into the walls and even though the job ended up being a bit bigger than Edwin expected, he still kept to his original price.
He did a few more bits of electrical work around the house that were not part of the original job and didn't charge for them.
Now I'm sorry he's done because he's just such a lovely, pleasant guy and so much more than you could ask for from a professional electrician.
He'll be doing all the work in our house as we move forward.
To paraphrase other Yelpers, ""5-Star is correct.""

Edwin and the 5 Star Electric crew just left. I needed two dedicated plugs installed. Not only were they fast (2 hours), but their work was immaculate. Whatever they moved, they put back and they cleaned up all dust and debris. Great price, friendly, and professional service. In addition to the work he was hired for, I mentioned that one of the plugs in my bathroom was broken. He immediately took care of it for no charge. Now that's great customer service. We will definitely use them for our next electrical need.

A contractor recently told me that when you hire someone for a job, you should look to get two of the following three things - Speed, Quality of Work, and Price. So if you get speed and a good price, for example, you might not get the highest quality work. Or if you get speed and high quality work, you might end up paying through the nose. With 5-star electric, I feel like you don't have to sacrifice any of these things!

I recently used Edwin to rewire a few different rooms in my house in addition to installing a new electric box with some additional breakers. It seemed impossible at first to find someone who was willing to do the job and take care of the permitting at a reasonable price (less than $5000), so when Edwin said they could do the job at a price we agreed upon, I was ecstatic (if not a little skeptical).

Needless to say, Edwin and his crew delivered! They were punctual, professional, easy to work with, and handled all of the permitting and inspection on the new box. When one of the breakers was left switched off by accident after they had finished the job, Edwin insisted on driving back over to our house at 9 pm in the rain to fix the problem before we went to bed.

Edwin is eager to please, reliable, and trustworthy - I will definitely use him again when doing future electrical work and would recommend him to anyone (not to mention he is just a nice guy).

Edwin was punctual, professional and efficient when he came to my home to fix a blown dimmer. He had the problem diagnosed and fixed within a half hour, and for a very reasonable price. I would definitely hire him again for larger jobs. He was also very personable and friendly, so he put me right at ease. Thanks, Edwin!!
