This was my first time hiring an electrician and I chose this company based on all of the positive reviews about service and cost. I had a great experience with Andres. He replaced my dryer outlet and then did a check of my electrical system. We recently bought the house and the home inspector noted several potential issues. Everything Andres found matched what our home inspector noted. He took the time to explain it all thoroughly, and provided quotes for future work. Overall, happy with the experience!
Roger came to do a same day install of our ring camera pro which required new 24V wiring to replace a previous low voltage doorbell. He was quick, kind, professional and asked questions along the way to make sure that the end result was exactly how I was hoping for. Thanks!
I had a great experience with Terrapin. Within minutes of submitting a request for an estimate, they reached out to schedule an appointment.Asahel did an excellent job understanding my vision for improving my garage. He clearly explained what he could do, along with alternative options and the pros and cons of each, which helped me feel confident in the direction we chose.On installation day, Asahel was extremely thorough. He checked in with me about height and placement before starting, and his work was professional, neat, and precise. His knowledge and attention to detail really showed.I highly recommend Asahel and the team at Terrapin.
Roger was great. He was patient with my questions and gave me advice without pushing. He offered to replace our ceiling fan the same day for a fair price. He was friendly, efficient, detailed, and professional. Before and after photos included. Recommend!
Highly recommend Terrapin !! Needed an outlet installed in our bathroom and found them on Thumbtack. Scheduling was a breeze- they were able to have a tech come out a couple days later for a quote, which was A LOT better than the other quotes I’d received for this project. The tech Asahel was super great - knowledgeable and SO fast. Great experience overall!
