Sabrena T.Professional, reliable, creative. I'll definitely contact Rich again when I need an electrician.
I give GRT Electric and Rich my highest recommendation! Rich has done small jobs (garage rewire) and large jobs (new service panel and whole house rewire). All were done efficiently and professionally with highest quality workmanship! I have recommended Rich to my neighbors and their results have been equally as impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend Rich for electrical jobs, big and small! His workmanship is outstanding and he stands behind his work!
When power went out on our panel I called GRT Electric late afternoon/early evening and Rich found a time the following morning that worked great for us. He was prompt, friendly, fast and efficient. I recommend GRT Electric to anyone needing residential electrical service, and they are my my go to next time the need arises.
Bill M.We had a pretty quick turnaround job and Rich was right there to save the day. He came out, assessed the electrical needs for an outdoor power source. Then he ran a clean line to the main breaker and it looks so professional. I know this wasn't a huge job, but I just don't dig messing around when it come to electricity and now I don't have to for future jobs! Also GREAT customer service and communication via text with his arrival time and estimated completion! We are already thinking of the next job or two to have done inside the house and you can be sure that I will be calling Rich back to assist!
Rich is the best electrician I've found in 40 years. He has solved problems in my business and my home with quality work, done on time and at reasonable prices. He is a pleasure to deal with.
Michelle S.Rich was awesome! Responded very quickly and went and inspected the electric in the house I am in escrow on by the next day. Gave very thorough and honest inspection/quote. Definitely will be using GRT when we close to do our electrical work!
Rich does all my electrical work. I'm a gate contractor and we do many automatic gates. Rich is a specialty electrician is that regard as pipe needs to be in accurate locations. Highly recommended company.
daniel P.We used these guys at our business to run some hard conduit from a breaker box to a phase converter at our die cutter, and to relocate some hard wired lighting in our warehouse. Rich was in good communication upon first contact (we found him here at Yelp actually) and he was able to give us an estimate based on our conversation and the images we texted him. He was on time, he was knowledgable, and Rich helped us problem solve the best strategy to get the job done. We are very happy with the work and we'd absolutely use GRT again.
Jimmy C.This company is the very best!
Excellent quality work and the best price.
Mr Richard is so very knowledgeable, polite and professional. I will always use this company and never waste time or money with others again
