Decker Electric

Decker Electric offers superior, responsive customer service. Our company, Corporate Lodging Consultants, started using them a year ago and with each visit they have exceeded our expectations. One notable service was a next day install needed for a migration project. We could not have completed our work without it. Their electricians and data techs are knowledgeable and communicate their process every step of the way. I recommend Decker Electric to anyone who needs professional service done right the first time!

I tasked them with installing additional kitchen, and bathroom lighting in a top-floor condo unit. They misplaced the holes in the ceiling for reset lighting , which can still be seen (they never properly patched, or outsourced a drywall professional to repair their measurement mistake.)

Worse yet, they cost me hundreds of dollars as they ran all new electric through my HVAC return vent system, creating massive holes in the duct box to the attic, permanently leaking air into the attic space above. So basically, my closed HVAC system is now open to the attic and my electricity bills are 200+ per month in the summer months, as I'm trying to perpetually cool fresh hot attic air through the holes they put in my HVAC return system. It took me a long time to figure out the cause of the holes, it was the electrician. The only electrician I hired to install new lights in my bathroom and kitchen was Decker Electric.

Reid and his team have done great work at our house. They are on time, incredibly knowledgeable, and work until the job gets done. I highly recommend them!

I called Decker Electric at about 9PM Friday after that big storm the night before. Reid answered and set up an appt the very next day. His brother came out on time, gave me an estimate and got working. Thanks to them, I had power in my house within a few hours. They came out again Monday to finish the job. Reid and his brother were nothing but professional. I HIGHLY recommend them. I called about 4 electric companies and he was the only one that called back that night (the rest called back Monday).
Synopsis: Great guys, reliable, stuck to the quote, came out on father's day weekend. They found themselves a new customer!

We have been using Decker Electric exclusively for about 10 years. The reason is they always show up on time, they are very polite, dress reasonably well, always clean up after their work is done. Their work has always been done correctly, they do not cut corners. The biggest reason is that the whole crew is so honest that I can trust them to be alone in my home without me having to watch them. I would recommend them to any of my friends.

Reid gave me a written estimate that was reasonable and better than the other estimate I'd received, including giving me some assessments on what work actually needed to be done (that is, he talked himself out of some money). He came out, did the work, and cleaned up very well after it was complete. He was very personable and easy to talk to. I am totally satisfied and will not hesitate to use him in the future.

I hired him last week to install 3 sensor lights and originally he quoted me approximately $150/light. Well the job went smoothly, ""even better than expected"", yet he billed me for $746. I talked to him about it and he said that it was fair as he had 3 electricians on the job, and did not even charge for his time.

I had used Reid before, but never again.

I called Decker Electric about a rental property of mine after searching for electricians on Angies List. My tenant said the power had gone off and one of the breakers in the box was buzzing and/or sparking. Reid Holm was responsive when I called, and quickly went to the house to check on it, the same day in fact. He told me that the entire service needed to be replaced. It's an older house and so that didn't seem too far-fetched to me. I asked him how much it would cost, and he told me $1,200. Interestingly, I had gotten an email from Angies List the day before with a deal for 200-amp service replacement for $1,343.00 from Efficient Air Conditioning. So, $1,200 being less than $1,343, I thought that what he was quoting me was a fair price and told him to go ahead and do it. He took care of scheduling it with the city and replaced it as promised on the scheduled day.
This is where the problem started. He called me and said it was finished, and I gave him my credit card number to pay for it. Later that day I got an email receipt for the invoice for $2,300, almost double the $1,200 he had quoted me. I contacted him and he said he never told me it would be $1,200, he said he had told me it would be around $2,000. I, of course, think this is ridiculous. When I first found him on Angies list I printed out the info page, and when he told me $1,200, I had written it down on the paper, and also told my wife this was going to cost us $1,200. It makes no sense that I would agree to a $2,000 job when I had just gotten a coupon for $1,343.
Of course he disagrees, and swears that he never said $1,200.
I have no real recourse, because if I stop the credit card payment he will just put a mechanics lien on the property. I have to take a good bit of the blame since I was dumb enough to actually trust a contractor, and never asked for a proposal in writing.
As I wrote above, he was responsive and punctual, and at least as competent as any electrician should be. But I feel like he took advantage when I didn't ask for a written bid and just went ahead and did the work and overcharged me, knowing that I wouldn't have any choice but to pay him.
So, if you want to give him a try, I HIGHLY recommend you make sure you get a bid in writing first, and make sure that when you are paying him the invoice matches the bid.

I had Decker complete two jobs in my home. And while I trust the work that they do, I believe they are slower than average, which is a problem when you're paying by the hour. Jobs that were quoted at 1/2 - 1 full day typically took more like 2 days.

Also, this is not the electrician to call if you want a nice finished look for your plugmolds and outlets. They are just nice guys with no sense of aesthetics.

Called several electricians for quotes. Reid was the first to call back and also the first to come out to to give us a quote .

Then quote was very reasonable and was also well under the competition.
Reid and his crew completed the work in a timely manor and they were very professional. Reid was also very patient while answering our abundance of questions.

Based on my experience with Decker electric I would highly recommend them to others.

I would not bother calling another electrician at this point.
