Recommended Customer Reviews

Mario and his team have been amazing - We have used them for three separate jobs, all requiring lots of reworking and re-wiring. One of them was a heavy complicated, large chandelier. Every job has been done at the highest level of craftsmanship, professionalism and skill. The prices are very fair and his team (we've had Vic a lot) are friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. Feel so lucky to have as our electrician company!

Hired Ground Up Electric to test and replace wall outlets as needed in our 42 year old house. After many years, wall outlets may not secure electric cords as well as they once did. One outlet even sparked occasionally when a cord was removed. Matt purchased matching outlets, tested all outlets and replaced five. He also replaced our doorbell. Cost of service was $285 including parts and two hours of labor, which I thought was quite reasonable. This is the second time we have hired this company. Mario and Matt installed garage lighting for us three years ago and did a great job.

I've had electric added to a few rooms and the customer service is exceptional! I would recommend this company to anyone needing electric work.

The team are friendly and responsive. They provided a quote over email after I submitted photos. I was able to request adjustments to my quote after changing some tasks I wanted done. They came and completed the work as requested at a fair, transparent price. I highly recommend using Ground Up for your electrician needs!

Highly recommend Ground Up. Mario has completed a number of projects over the last few months. Great work and reasonable prices. He explains the situation clearly.

I came home and put something in the refrigerator and it clicked off. This has happened before. I called Ground Up because they were suggested on my local Nextdoor. I was told that they would be here in an hour but it was much sooner. He found out that a number of my breakers were burning out and he replaced them. He also made recommendations for my landlord. I would recommend these people based on their diligence.

Very happy we found Ground Up Electric! Very knowledgeable & fast. They were honest & we highly recommend them for any electric needs. We plan to only use them from now on. Super satisfied with their work! Great team for any job!

If your in need of electrical work, look no further than Ground Up Electric. I had a rather difficult dual chandelier installation. Had been told from two other electricians that it would be difficult and costly to install. Thankfully I searched Nextdoor and found Ground Up Electric was highly recommended. Mario and Matt arrived with masks on and we're able to install my dual pendant chandeliers in no time. There price was half of what the other companies were quoting me. In difficult times like these it's important to work with companies you can trust and I definitely trust Ground Up Electric.

This review is 3 months delayed, but I wanted to make sure that I took the time to write Ground Up Electric a positive review, because they deserve it. I recently had some remodeling done and the general contractor did horrible electrical work, and so I took matters into my own hand to find a licensed electrician. I called a few places to get an estimate, and Mario stood out buy his professionalism, knowledge, his willing to work with your schedule and non judgmental attitude even after he saw what my GM had done. Mario was upfront about his estimate and gave me a vert detailed breakdown of his estimate, he listened to what I wanted done and provided valuable recommendations. They were able to schedule me within reasonable amount of wait time to come and do the work. The day of the work, Mario showed up with Matt the day of the work, and both were absolutely professional, hard working to get the work done. After spending a very long day working on my project, they even offered to help my husband reinstall the wall oven unit because I was useless in helping my husband. I was so impressed with Mario and Matt's work that I had them quote me additional projects and they will be returning for some more work once the stay at home order from the COVID-19 pandemic is lifted. Thank you Ground Up Electric for all the work done. We are beyond satisfied and have already recommended Ground Up Electric to anyone who is looking for a licensed electrician.

We needed to install two overhead lights in our garage and provide power. Also needed to connect an existing extension cord to a multiple outlet box on the workbench. I sent a description of the job to five electricians on Angie's List. Three never responded, but two did. Mario at Ground Up Electric was the only electrician who stopped by to survey the job. We discussed the options and he offered to do the job at a fair price. Mario was also very responsive in all our communications. We are very satisfied with the work and can highly recommend his company.
