Where other companies just assumed a generic installation, Walter Electric spent a lot of time planning a customized arrangement that worked best for our particular layout. They gave more options and suggestions, and it made all the difference in the end. I would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking about lighting installation!
Response from Walter Electric
"Thank you for your review [Member Name Removed]! Lighting is such an important element of our experience in our homes…and our company is passionate about bringing life to your living spaces! Well-designed lighting can create “spaces” or “zones”, which is especially useful in today’s more open floor plans. As you mentioned, instead of a generic type layout, I suggested a design that would complement the existing areas well. Please let us know if there’s anything else that we can do for you! It was a real pleasure working with you…"

First, Keith Walter worked really hard putting together a quote in the midst of the Corona Virus pandemic. Having two immune compromised family members living here, Keith assured me him and his workers would talk all the precautionary measures to protect me and my family. Keith was able to work out a estimate via email and video calls which was very reasonable and all without stepping foot on my property. Alan was the lead for my project and did an outstanding job. Alan and his crew wore all required protective gear and took proper precautions to ensure the safety of my family. End result, I am very satisfied with the customer service and professionalism of Keith and his employees. I can’t say enough good. I spent 26 years in the active duty Army and our establishment is built on trust and respect which doesn’t come easy. Walter Electric has earned my trust and respect.

I LOVED the work that Keith and his team did for me. It was so easy from start to finish. The entire team was professional, respectful, and communicative. They absolutely went above and beyond. I have an OLD house and the entire wiring needed to be redone. This seemed daunting and Keith not only walked through the whole process but even had amazing ideas for improving my current lighting situation. We replaced all the fans and lighting fixtures, added canned lights, provided updated switches that dim, added motion detectors for outside lighting, added a plug wherever I wanted and added a new heater/fan for the bathroom. Keith also outlined everything they were doing, the labor costs, and the cost of the materials so everything was so clear and there were no surprises. I am so happy with the results and truly am so appreciative. My house looks so great now!

Keith and his worker Alan were very professional. Keith listened to my needs and spent time explaining in detail what the job would entail. He took time to answer all my questions and address my concerns. Alan was a great worker, punctual, competent and hard working.

Keith is such a delight! He is incredibly reliable and honest. He took care of all of our needs at the studio and I feel so lucky to have found him on Angie's List. He is now my go-to electrician for anything home or business related :)

It took a month to get it all done. We had issues with being able to be around for them get into the house. We negotiated it to make a schedule for the three of us. The best part of the experience were his vision and our vision for getting the project done and keeping it realistic. It was great to be able to dream with them and still be able to come up with a fair pricing and a good project. I will absolutely use them again.
