Recommended Customer Reviews

Knowledgeable tech was able to solve our problem over the phone! Also, they are up front with pricing. Thank you!

I just had a question bout some electrical and spike with Clint. He was very affirmative and made sure I knew exactly what I needed to know. Would definitely recommend this business. Thanks for the help.

Only negative was lack of masks. The guys were knowledgeable and friendly. Educated me as to what happened and what they were doing. Coordinated with MID. Made our power loss in the recent storm less stressful.

I had an issue with my electric service panel and Layman Electric was recommended to me. They came out the next day to see what the issue was. Brandon was great! He took the time to find a buss bar that would work in my panel since it was an older model. They could have easily said they needed to replace the whole panel, which was my fear. He came back the next day and fixed the problem. He made sure to clean up after he was done and took great care to explain to me exactly what he was doing and why. I was surprised that I didn't have to pay right then and there. Instead, they put together an invoice and had the electrician verify it was correct. I was pleasantly surprised at the very reasonable cost. They will be my electricians from now on.

Very helpful, punctual, knowledgeable and reasonably priced electricians. I very much appreciated Jerry's communication skills.

Half of my outlets at my duplex stopped working and this.l company came two different fridays to fix it. They were very friendly professional and helpful they had to go in and out a lot And I have two cats and when they were done they even made sure both cats were still inside. I am super thankful for this company would recommend to anyone and will definitely use them again!

This company is seriously the BEST! I called to inquire about getting an estimate for repairs. The woman who answered my call was delightful! She transferred me to Brad. He couldn't have been nicer. He was also extremely professional! Brad prepared a bid in a very short amount of time. If I could give 10 stars I would. These guys are exceptional!

This company is amazing. They are professional, courtesy and know what they are doing.
I was having difficulties with my well pump and Circuit Board. Come to find out, I had a wire that was buried underground not sending any power to my well pump. I contacted Layman's Electric and according to their office assistant, the company was 2-3 weeks out due to projects. I voiced my concern and the assistant was able to connect me with Paul. The next day after work, Paul came out and spent the time to trace the bad wire that was hidden underground to the pump. On the following day, Paul and another worker came out, and replace all new wires from my Drive to my pump.
Paul is man of his words. His work ethics are exceptional and his knowledge is unmatched. This gentleman knew exactly what he was doing and did the job efficiently and professionally. I highly recommend this company to anyone seeking electrical work done to their residence. Ask for PAUL.

Fast, efficient, communicative. These are the ones to call. Spoke with Jerry and he was able to get a couple really astute electricians out to our home within a few hours, and they solved the mysterious electrical problem. This is a professional outfit, will definitely be using them if we encounter any more electrical issues.

We have used this company twice for repairs. Their prices are fair and the tech was polite and professional as well as competent. I would not hesitate to call them again should I require electrical work.
