Rick Brown Electrical Contractor

Great work! I know first hand. Rick is very knowledgeable not only in his trade, but knows quite a bit in all trade fields. I also wanted to mention Rick is very innovative, comfortable planning and executing custom projects, and very budget minded for his clients. I would recommend RIck to anyone I know. Keep up the good work!

Rick was quick to respond when called. He made an appointment but cancelled ten minutes before the appointment. I was a bit annoyed since I was waiting at the job site which was 20 minutes from my home. He told me he had ""sick chicken"" he had to tend to or it would die but ......he would call me back to reschedule. I left him a message the next day but he didn't respond. Rick's not one I would recommend. Really? A sick chicken?

Man, I hate to be the one raining on the parade here, so I'll start by saying that Rick definitely knows his stuff.

My experience with him, though, was weird. I had him out to my house (which my fiance and I recently inherited, so we don't have much documentation on and we're still figuring out the quirks of) to take a look at the electrical system and provide an estimate for what it would take to update it.

He went through the place, and seemed impatient. He kept making suggestions that I wasn't into (he was rather insistent on monorail installations instead of recessed lighting like I wanted, because he didn't want to open up the ceiling, which I was perfectly willing to do). There are two sections to the home, an original house and an addition. The electrical in the addition was not as much a priority for me as it was closer to current standards and was not knob and tube, which was the stuff I really wanted to get rid of.

At the end, he gave me a rough quote on what it would take to do the whole house (which I said at the beginning was not my priority) and when asked about the stuff I really wanted to do, he said he would provide a quote later in the week, and I never heard from him again.

He seemed scattered and not a good fit for me (he forgot his toolbox by the door on the way out and had to come back a few hours later to reclaim it).

I ended up going to Todor at Electro Integrity who was incredibly helpful, flexible, and did an amazing job. He ended up rewiring the whole first floor for me and installing all the components (recessed lighting, etc) that I had asked for.

Rick assisted me over the phone with selection of a new bathroom fan or fixing the old one. He took time to explain what each would mean financially. Once i purchased the fan, he installed it for less than his estimate and in a shorter period of time. I appreciated Rick's honesty and professionalism. i would not only call him again for any question or advise, I would recommend him any chance I got. Thanks
Rick!

Rick is great. I own an Edwardian house (1906) and old houses always have issues. Whether it's fixing a light socket, adding a network cable outlet, or fixing old wiring, he really knows what he's doing. Prices are reasonable, work is quality, and Rick is really nice. For large jobs or small ones, he's the guy to call.

Can't say a bad thing about Rick. Had an issue with our hallway light circuit and after trying a few things, the only thing I was sure of, was that if I kept screwing around, I was going to electricute myself. Called Rick and he was able to come right over, identified the problem, and my hallway has light once again! Friendly and straight forward, he gave me a few tips about my light switches as well. Nice guy, good job, what more do you want?

Finally, a professional electrician who knows his stuff and gets the job done! We've been reticent about electricians b/c our prior experience wasn't done properly and cost too much. Rick to the rescue! He changed out our faulty dimmers, fixed our garage sensors and advised us on some wiring issues, which he'll resolve on his next visit. I'm stoked with his work and knowledge. He even is going beyond and offered to bring us the proper lightbulbs when he picks up parts for the next project we're having him work on.

He came highly recommended by our mother's group, was great working around my kids & pets, and I would only recommend him now to everyone I know who has electricial needs. You won't be disappointed. He's the ultimate professional electrician and a down-to-earth friendly guy!

Rick recently completed a number of small projects in our home. And we are considering a number of medium projects for Rick also. I can recommend Rick without hesitation.

Rick understood what we wanted to do and came up ways to get it done at reasonable prices. Rick returned my phone calls, arrived on time and the work was done efficiently and professionally.

I normally wouldn't give 5 stars, because no one is perfect. But I can't find anything to criticize with Rick so 5 stars it is.

I've hired Rick to do a number of projects in my Victorian home and have been delighted with his work. Rick is communicative, good and patient at explaining issues and project scope, and is reliable and on time.

Rick came highly recommended from a cabinet designer maker I was using for a project because she had worked with Rick on previous projects. I've now referred him to friends of mine as well.

Overall, I highly recommend Rick - I think he does excellent quality work, is easy going and comfortable to work with, and really knows his stuff! He's installed outlets, new fixtures, and fixed fixtures in my house for me and I'll continue to use him for all of my projects moving forward!

I call Rick based on 1 Yelp review at the time. I needed a solution for dim lighting in my new home, and also wanted two new connections to be created for TV's, without wires running along my walls--i.e., a lot of drilling and fishing. Rick replied immediately, came by and gave me an estimate, and then showed up on time and did a superb job for me, with a final price about 20% below his estimate! The lighting solution he proposed was practical and inexpensive, and worked, and the wiring was hidden behind the walls and looked great at the plug. I'll certainly use him again.
