We are so pleased with the lighting plan that you designed. It was definitely superior to the sketchy plan provided by our architect. In addition, your guys are terrific! They're great to be around, knowledgeable, hard-working and dependable. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome or better professionals.

The electricians arrived on time and were very professional. They worked quickly and efficiently, and left no mess. They were the best company I've dealt with in terms of answering the phone, returning calls, scheduling work, and arriving on time.

He did a heavy-up and brought my old house's Edison era wiring into the 21st century. He also did a lot of internal re-wiring, installed smoke detectors and put in cable and high speed internet wiring.

We were very pleased with every aspect of our interaction with Hyman Electric. They came to give us an estimate in a timely manner, underbid other contractors who indicated that the work required was very complex, did a fine and professional installation, and the electrician who did the installation was very courteous and accommodating. We would give them an A+ on every aspect of this job!

Fabulous! Bill Hyman was very accessible during the estimate and proposal process. Plus, Bill even took a call from my father who knows electrical work to review the proposal prior to starting the job. On day of service, the crew was great - very personable!
