I've been working with Rudolph Electric for the past year and it's been such a positive experience. Tim and his team are knowledgeable, personable and all-round top quality! They've installed an electrical panel, outlets and fixtures. All done with excellent service and reasonable prices. If you need an electrician, call Rudolph Electrical.

I was very pleased with their work. He explained before he started that he doesn't do drywall repair so I would need to take care of it if needed. I said no problem since I used to do some remodeling (I was a carpenter). All his work was done better than expected. I'm a detailed person and was impressed. Only two drywall repairs which I did since I've done drywall. Done faster than expected. I added a couple of things which was still done before expected. I would highly recommend Tim. Rudolph Electric made sure every fixture was what I wanted. Again, Rudolph Electric is the best choice you can make

I absolutely recommend Rudolph Electric and TIM specifically. Although we are still in limbo on MY end, he is more than efficient in getting all of my questions answered and concerns taken care of. I look forward to utilizing his services for all of my electrical needs. -Nicole O

I wish I could write a better review for these guys, they came recommended by a friend, and were very friendly, but I'll explain briefly why I wasn't particularly pleased with the service.
I called Rudolph to get a couple of non-functional outdoor outlets up and running again. In fairness, the outlets weren't functioning because of some wiring my father-in-law did last year that was the cause of the problem. In any event, after getting Tim to come out on Saturday morning at 10am, he found the problem within about 10 minutes, and explained to me what he'd need to do to fix it. He took off to Home Depot to get parts, and was back fairly quickly. He noted to me though on the way in that he was going to hustle through the job because he had a funeral to go to around noon. I didn't think anything of it, banking on the fact that he was a professional and that the job would be done and done right before he left. That didn't happen. What DID happen was this. After about 45 minutes, he asked me to come back and look at the 2nd outdoor cover he was going to install (having taken care of the first one with little trouble), whereupon he noted that he didn't have screws long enough to accommodate the cover. He'd have to get them from a specialty hardware store, and gave me the name of the store because Home Depot and Lowes didn't carry such an item., which wasn't true - I went to Home Depot and found 4"" screws with toggle bolts for $1.98 that worked just fine. Then he gave me two options: he could either a) come back another time (leaving the job unfinished) and take care of it or b) I could find the screws myself and take care of it, which as I said, I did. I conceded that I didn't want to wait until he could be available again and would just do it myself.
Long and short is that I paid $285.00 for 1.5 hours of work, some of which I had to do myself. Also, Tim was apparently in such a hurry that he failed to replace the breaker cover panel on the breaker box before he left. Not a big deal, but unprofessional. Just left me shaking my head.
Again, if you read all my other Yelp reviews, they're 5 stars. I just felt like I was little more than an inconvenience for Rudoplh/Tim this morning, and now I wish I had waited for my regular electrician (who was booked out several weeks). I won't make that mistake again.

UPDATE: I had a conversation with Katelin at Rudolph after I wrote this review, and I explained to her that after a week or so, the outlets that had been ""repaired"" were not functioning. Wasn't anything simple either, reset the GFCI, reset the breaker, didn't help. Katelin agreed to offer a partial refund, to which I acquiesced. I received a check yesterday which offset the financial inconvenience a little (not a full refund, which I wasn't expecting, since two outdoor outlet boxes were installed), which is why I'm bumping this up from 2 stars. I appreciate that Rudolph at least made a concerted remedial effort. Not all businesses would do that.

We had Rudolph Electric replace our main electrical panel, and Tim, Leonard and Katelin were all fantastic to work with. They were always on time, extremely friendly, clean and very fairly priced. When we need future electrical work, we're going back to Rudolph Electric.

I am a painting contractor, and have had the pleasure of working along side Katelin Rudolph on a few projects. I highly recommend this business to my clients. They are professional, knowledgeable and have exceptional customer service.

I called Tim at Rudolph Electric this morning and explained my problem. He made time in his busy day to come out the same day and fix what a previous worker had messed up. He had the problem solved within 15 minutes. Very reasonable and a really nice guy. I will never call anyone but him for our electrical needs.

Tim did a great job, made sure the aluminum wiring in my new home was spliced safely to the copper wiring and also installing ceiling lights in the bedrooms. He is very professional and is concerned with doing things correctly. Before hiring him, he came our and gave us annaccurate quote and even fixed small things while he was there. I highly recommend him.

Katelin were very helpful with scheduling my island BBQ hookup, she was very quick to respond to all the questions I had. When it came to doing the work, Tim was on time and worked with me to ensure that all my needs were met with the install. His work is on point and looks great. I cant wait to cook my first steak on it. I'm definitely calling them for all my future electrical needs. Thanks!

I had Tim and Lennard install wiring and raceway in my garage for LED lights. They did an outstanding job and were very pleasant and fun to work with. They were very careful in cleaning up and took the time to make sure everything was lined up nicely. A problem outlet on our patio was also fixed and brought up to standard. This was a fairly large job which took most of the day. I'm very pleased with the final outcome. I highly recommend Rudolph Electric. I will definitely use them again should I need it.
