I started my journey in the electrical field as a teenager. At 30, I decided it was time to establish my own business. I attended night classes to grasp the legal requirements of being a contractor and completed the State Examination, earning my Electrical Contractor license in February 1985. I chose the name Interwest Electric inspired by a communications company (Interwest Communications) based in Denver, CO. I have been leading this company ever since.

Recommended Customer Reviews

I am so lucky i was able to find this company! So professional and the prices are so fair. other companies tried to make up other ""tasks"" they must do in order to do the job in order to justify their inflated prices. This company was honest, reliable, smart, and fairly priced! 5 stars from us!

I called Interwest Electric for a rental property. Dean called back right away and contacted the tenant immediately after talking to me. He fixed the problem on the same day! The tenant was very happy with the prompt professional quick service, which makes for a happy landlord too!

Response rate is inflated, will respond just to say he is booked, what about offering to book pass Friday.

If I could, I'd give Interwest 6 stars! I had an electrical problem come up and not that it was a super emergency, it was causing a lot of inconvenience. I called them at 10am and Dean said he could come out that day at 2pm. He actually showed up at 1:50. He promptly checked out my problems, gave me a very reasonable quote and had ALL problems solved within an hour!! Dean went as far as checking other possible problems and asked me if I wanted him to take care of them. They were safety issues but he didnt make me feel like he was ""upselling"". Just possible future problems. Oh, and during that hour, he left to go pick up a different color outlet for me. Interwest will now be my go-to for all electrical jobs!!!

Interwest showed up within 90 minutes of me contacting them. José was polite, friendly and immediately got to diagnosing the problem of why our lights were flickering. About 19 minutes later, service was completed and he recommended I do a few other things that could alleviate the problem. Thanks for the fast service.

The doorbell ended up not working so Dean sent Frankie out to troubleshoot. Turns out there was an issue with the outlet and it burned out the transponder. Even though Dean indicated it was an issue with the outlet and nothing his crew did, he did the work free of charge. This is an honest company with a good reputation. They stand by their work and bend over backwards to satisfy their customers. You can call Interwest and rest assured you are getting the best service. Thanks Dean!

We found Interwest on Yelp and Dean was very responsive and available. He gave us a quote based on pictures and then came out in person when it was convenient to talk through some options for panel replacement and overhead light/fan installation.
Jose and Juan were our crew for the day. Super professional, polite, pleasant and interactive. They took their time to strategically plan where to pull the electrical from to minimize the drywall damage for us since we were installing new overhead lighting. They provided expertise on where lighting and fan would work best in our space. They worked hard throughout the day and finished the job on time and completely cleaned up after themselves.
We couldn't be happier and will definitely use them for any future electrical needs.
Thanks Interwest!

I used Interwest to install an electrical outlet. Frankie and Luis were extremely knowledgeable and limited the drywall work as much as possible. They were on time and worked very quickly. Scheduling the appointment was easy with Dean over text message. The price was competitive with other offers. I would highly recommend them for any electrical work.

I called Interwest Electric this morning and was pleasantly surprised that they were able to get me on their schedule on the same day. Dean promptly showed up and was able to determine what the problem was. It was complicated, but he could tell within a short period of time what the cause of the problem was. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, hard working--a true gentleman--and a craftsman who takes pride in his work. The added plus was how reasonable his prices are. Needless to say, I'm sold on Dean and his company and will most definitely call him for future needs.
You can't go wrong with Interwest and Dean. Give him a call if you want the best!

Great service! Electricians were professional and made sure my home was up to code. Would highly recommend them and if I have in the future would call them again.
