Sykes replaced the knob and tube wiring in my home. They had four electricians working for 5 days. Surprizingly few holes that were expertly patched afterward. They also install CO and smoke detectors throughout. Very professional and helpful. I strongly recommend them.

I always try to take the time to write honest reviews, because I myself find them so helpful when I am trying to decide on a product or service. We recently had the knob & tube completely removed from our house. Sykes Electric made what is an incredibly invasive procedure seem far less so. From their cleaning up after each day to their care for leaving as little a footprint as possible, it was very well done (and appreciated). With so many people working the job was done in days rather than weeks. We also appreciated their suggestions for upgrades while "they were there anyway", lol. From the first time we spoke to Glen and Lisa, we were instantly put at ease and confident things would be done correctly. Choose Sykes Electric with absolute confidence.

The Sykes team that attended my 100 year old home were absolutely fantastic. Everything they say on the website is true!
They were efficient,knowledgeable, punctual, friendly and definitely respected my home. I really appreciated how they covered the furnature and vacuumed though out the day as they were finished with an area. It is a big relief to have the old knob and tube wiring removed.

We had Sykes wire a basement renovation for us and everything from quoting to execution has been great. Lisa did such a thorough job walking us through the project and making suggestions that ended up bettering our project. We had Victor come and do the wiring who was timely and polite. He similarly had some suggestions that helped out our project. The quote was incredibly reasonable and no surprises when invoicing occurred. They booked us in for spots and those spots did not change. This is about as good as it gets when dealing with a contractor. Thanks for the help!

Paul Eberling on Sykes Electric

I had Sykes Electric replace my 100A panel with a 200A including new service wires. They had to move my panel horizontally along the wall so it required additional work. They arranged power disconnects and new service conduit including entrance. I am very pleased with both the work and price. Would definitely recommend them.
