HUGE 5 STAR!

I recently purchased a home and had a number of electrical issues come up in the inspection. I contacted Red Beard to come out for estimates. Matthew was on time, extremely friendly, and wrote up a professional estimate.

The team then came out to complete the work. Again, they were on time, professional, and kept me updated all the way throughout the process. In fact, I even sprung a few additional requests at them last minute and they were more than happy to accommodate them.

Everything was completed to very high standards, fairly priced, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

If you need electrical work done, I would HIGHLY recommend Red Beard.

Not just a great electrician but the best experience I’ve had with any contractor ever. Matt gave me a reasonable estimate for a bigger job when others were sky high. The work was done ahead of schedule and on budget. He went above and beyond and took care of more things than we initially expected, while causing less damage to the walls than he said he needed to in order to reach the wiring. Always returned my calls, always showed up on time, and kept me updated every step of the way. Won’t be calling anyone else for our future electrical needs!

Matt and his brother Brandon installed new under and over cabinet lighting and can lights in my very dark kitchen. I told them to bring the core of the sun into my kitchen and they did! I am overjoyed by the new energy-efficient LED lighting and the very reasonable price!

I would recommend Redbeard Electrical to anyone looking for a professional, neat, and excellent lighting company, and I will certainly use their services again.

They also installed a challenging ceiling fan in my second bedroom and it is perfectly balanced and so smooth. Matt was very punctual to all appointments, which is very important to me. Thanks, Matt and Brandon for a great experience!

Very professional, fast, and affordable! Can't recommend highly enough.

Matthew went above and beyond to help us out... on a Saturday... when he already had a full schedule. It was one of the coldest days this year and (due to some old shotty aluminum wiring) we lost complete power to our furnace. It was a weekend, so (of course) we could hardly find any electricians to even take our call. Then enter Red Beard Electrical.

Matthew answered on the first ring, he was so kind, quick and well-informed. He advised me to call around as he had a full schedule that day, but told me to call him back and let him know if I was able to find someone. Well, all I was able to find was one place that wanted to charge me a $200 emergency fee (and that would be on top of the work). So, I called Matthew back to let him know. Even though he was booked up, he added extra hours to his work day to fit us in.

When he got here he was worked quickly, explained everything that was going on (in terms I could actually understand), and didn't charge us an arm and a leg. I seriously can not recommend him highly enough. Not only did her get us out of a total bind, I feel like I have officially found "my electrician" we will certainly be using him for all of our future electrical needs and I hope you do too!

Added Bonus: Matthew and his colleague where just really nice and kind guys with a great sense of humor.

Matthew and his assistant, Brandon, came to our home on a weekend to repair an issue with a circuit on our first floor. They were both extremely professional. The issue was identified and resolved quickly. They explained everything to my wife and I. Both men were very friendly, approachable. Great prices too! We would recommend Red Beard Electrical to our friends and family.
