Wiring of basement bathroom and third floor reno

I would hire Gord again for any electrical work in my house. He did the wiring for a new basement bathroom and for a third floor renovation. For the third floor renovation he added a light switch at the base of the stairs which made all the difference in going up the stairs safely. I appreciated his input when making decisions about where to put light switches and why. For the basement reno, he put a light in a bathroom closet, which again made all the difference in finding things in that closet. His company name is indeed appropriate.

Kitchen Reno

We were really lucky to find Gord prior to our kitchen renovation. It is stressful renovating and finding excellent contractors in who you have faith isn't easy. We found Gord's prices to be more than fair and he was very accommodating to our schedule.

I'm not actually sure that Gord needs any recommendations since he is already so busy. All of the electricians from Gem Electric were a pleasure to deal with.

Electrical upgrade/knob and tube removal

We needed someone to re-wire a 100+ year old house in the Beach, and were referred to GEM Electric by a friend in the construction business. Gord and his team gave us a competitive quote and were able to work with our timelines and coordinate with a floor refinishing contractor and a plumbing contractor who were in the house at the same time. GEM pulled off a ton of work in a short space of time and we were very happy with the result. Old houses like ours are full of surprises, but Gord kept in contact, completed the work on time and stood behind their work - returning without any fuss or requests for additional money to fix one minor issue we noticed afterwards.
A great experience and would recommend to anyone.

Rewiring entire house

Gord and his crew showed up on time and made incredible progress in a short time. Part of the house was knob and tube and there was considerable additions made for our Reno. They are also adding a new 200 amp panel to accommodate all of the additional electrical and allow for future growth.

Emergency call

We were having new floors installed. They could have interfered with the plugs in our basement. So we called Eric in to advise and we're glad we did. Eric was a lifesaver.

Knob & Tube Replacement

This G.E.M. is a diamond!! Gord, Eric and Tim were a skilled, friendly and trustworthy trio that worked wonders in replacing the knob and tube in my home. Watching the G.E.M. team at work, I quickly realized that I was in good hands and my stress and anxiety levels dropped dramatically. As my home is completely renovated, I had been very concerned about the size and number of holes that would be required to complete the job. I need not have worried. Thanks to the skill and experience of the G.E.M. team, the project was completed quickly and with far fewer holes than I had anticipated. I also very much appreciated the regular communication with me to let me know of any unanticipated issues encountered and to ensure that plugs (I added a few) went where I wanted them. I would use G.E.M without hesitation for any future electrical services I require, and I would be happy to recommend them to anybody considering hiring G.E.M.

general contractor support

Dobkin & Associates Inc. (general contractor) has been using the electrical services of Gem Electric for many years. Gord and Eric have been extremely knowledgable and professional in all their work on my projects. Everything from service upgrades to precision location of electrical fixtures was performed with perfection. Their insight and suggestions have been a major contribution to the high quality of my finished projects. Our clients are always asking for their phone number to get other work done in their homes or to refer them to family and friends.

Knob and Tube Replacement

Bought in Davisville Village and had to get Knob and Tube replaced to get insured and needed up to date outlets, lights, etc. I had 3 quotes and Gord and his team instilled confidence the minute I met them. Knob and tube experts clearly, and their work showed it. Price was very competitive as well. More importantly to me was the job getting done right with minimal damage to our original gumwood throughout the house and GEM achieved that.

Overall, professional honest guys and the work will get done right (value for your money). Instilled a great deal of confidence from the start especially when it came to knob and tube retrofits - really came across as experts on the K&T retrofit side and not just electricians. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone and will use them again.

Fixed a blown outlet promptly and with care

Eric fit me in the morning I called, and phoned to let me know he was running behind schedule. when he came, he was very friendly and nice, and fixed an outlet that had blown very quickly. He knew exactly what to do and I felt confident when he took care of the problem. Didn't try to push me to do any work that wasn' tneeded to fix the issue. Very happy with them, would use them again or recommend to anyone.

House Reno - All New Electrical

Gem Electrical are fantastic. They re-wired our entire Victorian house (replacing the old knob-and-tube), plus a new panel, and new service to the street. They were very professional, quick, clean, and did an excellent job, all at very reasonable cost. I am an architect and work with a lot of trades, and I would highly recommend Gem.
