I saw the great reviews and contacted Vlad. I already had 2 other estimates in hand, and Vlad's came in the middle. Although I had a lower estimate from someone else, I didn't feel as comfortable with that provider. I had a good feeling with Vlad when he showed up for a free estimate. He was courteous, knowledgeable, prompt, and the plus is that his team also does patching and painting (for a fee). The other 2 estimates I got, those electricians told me that I'd have to find someone else to do patching and painting. The electrical work came out to $1,800 and the patching/painting came out to $400. $2,200 total.
On the day of service, his team was scheduled to start at 9 AM. Three guys came up, lead by Steve. Vlad showed up in the middle of the job to inspect how it was going, and to provide some last minute guidance, but Steve was the main guy for the actual job. They started with the bathroom fixtures, swapping them out for 2 new ones. Easy. Then they started on installing a new light fixture in my office. Initially, I wanted a 2 gang switch by the door to replace the 1 gang switch there. But upon further inspection, Steve said it would be a lot more work. He recommended using the second switch by the closet, and installing a 2 gang switch there to replace the 1 gang switch. I liked the recommendation and said 'go for it'. He had one guy work on that while Steve and the 3rd guy did the track lights. I had 2 track lights, both by WAC. One was a curvy solo rail track light, which they did a great job installing into the cement ceiling and then adding my Lutron dimmer switch. Then they did the straight mono rail track and added another dimmer for that as well. They did a great job patching, painting, and cleaning up.
They were done and out the door by 4 pm. All in all, I was extremely pleased with the quality of work, the fair pricing, and courteous nature exhibited by Vlad, Steve, and team. I absolutely recommend Community Electric and will recommend him to my friends. If I have any further electrical work, he's my guy.
