The two people who came from Greystone Electric Co were very good. They were very knowledgeable. They were in my house for a while and worked out to find the outlet which was not working. They fixed it. The price was extremely reasonable. One person who was an apprentice worked and the other person supervised the work.

These guys are the best. I this is my second time using them and I wouldn't ever use anyone else. They are super flexible. I ended up throwing them a few "curve balls" since my plans had changed since the original estimate. I called Doug for an estimate. He came over and took some detailed notes on what I was thinking. I told him I was going to supply the fixtures. No qualms. Emailed Doug a few weeks later to pencil me in for a Friday. Then I had to cancel on him only a few days out. He was very understanding. Then when I called to reschedule they were willing to bend over backwards to get the job done within my constraints. I can't say enough good thing about this company.

I could not recommend Greystone more highly! I used them to fix some stuff when we sold our old house in Park Hill, and now I've used them at our new house in the SE suburbs. Last year, I priced them out against the other top electricians on Angie's List (they were competitive) and ended up using them mainly because they were the first to respond. Based on that experience, I called ONLY Greystone this time around-- didn't even bother calling anybody else. Doug and his partner Greg are very courteous, cost-conscious and willing to work with me to meet my requests and my needs. They offer helpful suggestions and put a lot of thought into routing cables, etc. for future expansion. Without me even asking, they made sure the coaxial connections they installed in my attic was easily expandable to other rooms; in case we want to expand in the future. They work cleanly and efficiently; and treat you with respect & patience. I've had 2 wonderful experiences with them so far, and they are now my go-to company for any electrical needs. I don't even bother calling anybody else, because I trust them implicitly.

They were punctual. Gave a good estimate (they beat several other contractors), and did the work quickly. They were very congenial. I will definitely call them again for the next electrical project.

We needed a major electrical overall in our new home. The home was built in the late 70's and the electric panel was the orginal. Needless to say, it had to be replaced. Greystone gave an estimate that approximately half of other estimates yet there was no difference in the quality of work proposed. In addition, we needed some new lighting in our family room and Greystone took care of this for us, even providing ideas of other things we could add to the room that would enhance the appeal. The ideas they provided were great and never presented in a such a way that you could tell they were trying to make more money off you. Their ideas saved us time & money and now our newly renovated room is super functional, electricity-wise. Greg & Doug are both extremely professional and we had no problems letting them work in our home while we were at work. They were even tolerant of our curious kitty! We have several electrical projects on the burner and we will definitely use Greystone in the future.

Excellent. First one of the owners (Doug) came over and walked room to room and listened to what I needed done. Then he submitted an estimate to me by e-mail. A couple days later another owner (Greg) came over with his apprentice and did the work. It matched the estimate. They were on time, polite, and even cleaned up after themselves with a little vacuum cleaner!

Good. Smooth sail. A bit pricey but they did a great job and I am 100% confident the job was done correctly.

They did their usual fine job! Doug didn't have the correct bulbs and lost one of the screws. He said he would return the next day with those materials since he also had to replace a timer for us. We went out to dinner and when we returned after dark, there was Doug installing the bulbs and a new screw!! He said it was bugging him, and he wanted to get it done. This is a great company to deal with. They don't always show up just when expected, but they get the job done, going out of their way to make sure it's done well!!

Doug was incredible. He spent a good bit of time troubleshooting, because the fault ended up being in the power company's meter box. Once he traced the problem all the way back to the meter, he repaired the problem very quickly. He also let us know that, at some point, our breaker panel would need to be updated - without giving us a sales job.

They arrived exactly on time. They were courteous, fast, helpful, and very accomodating. We originally asked them to install 2 GFIs, but when they got here, we asked if they could also do the switches and outlets. They were extremely nice and took care of everything.

Doug was prompt in coming to our house. He installed a ceiling fan in our master bedroom. There was already electrical hooked up, however, the wall switch was a real mess and he fixed that to make it work properly. A ceiling fan in another bedroom was really messed up, had to have light off to run fan or had to have another light on to run fan on medium speed. Doug rewired the fan and switch, now it works perfectly. We thought we were going to have to buy a new ceiling fan, but he saved us money on that. The bedroom we use as our guest bedroom had no ceiling light and no wiring running to ceiling to even install one. Doug ran the wiring and installed a lighted ceiling fan, which works great. In AL, we were used to having lighting in all of our closets. In this house there are no lights in bedroom closets (except for the Master closet). So, Doug ran wiring, installed lighting and a switch outside each closet. It looks and works great. Finally, we needed a boost to our breaker box, so Doug added us more voltage in the box (I'm not sure I'm explaining this correctly, but what he did will protect our house from fires, surges and blowing fuses). Doug is so professional. He cleaned up very well and left everything immaculate. We will definitely use Doug and Greystone again when we remodel our master bath.

I thought it was a wonderful experience. He was very nice and explained everything to my husband. He also took time afterwards to go over some other issues on other things with my husband.

We had quotes from 3 different companies. Greystone's was in the middle, far cheaper than the highest quote, and a little over the lowest quote (which was obtained by the seller of the house, from an unlicensed electrician). From the beginning, Doug was extremely honest and straightforward, explained everything very clearly, and he never tried to sell us anything we didn't need. We had a list of issues the inspector had found when we were buying the house, and Doug went over every item with me, explaining each one. He even recommended against fixing a couple of the items, as he said he didn't think they were necessary or cost-effective. He scheduled the work very soon, at a convenient time for us. His partner and another employee showed up right on time. A little after starting work, they discovered that there was a wiring hazard that the utility company needed to fix, and so they couldn't continue that day. Doug arrived almost immediately and contacted the utility company. He made sure they came and fixed the problem that same day, and we rescheduled the work. The guys turned up right on time again, and they were very polite, friendly, careful and clean. They spent a whole day working, and had to schedule another half-day to finish (Doug had warned that this might be necessary). At all times, they were very considerate of our schedules and comfort (they were even careful not to let our cats run out when they went in and out of the house!). They installed a security-light, which stopped working the next day. When I called, Doug scheduled a visit that same week, and they replaced the light with a better brand. The final price was exactly as quoted, even though they spent a lot more time than originally estimated, because of the utility company delay, and the return visits. Everything is now working perfectly, and we feel secure knowing that our wiring is safe. I recommend Greystone without any hesitation, and will call them again if I ever need more electrical work.

We lost our electricity and they were able to come out and get it started. They went to my house and did the job for me immediately because it was an emergency.

I called Doug at approx. 1215 and he was very responsive and nice. I liked that I was able to contact him directly instead of having to go through a snotty receptionist. He said that he would have Greg give me a call when he could come over, either later that day or the next. Greg did call, at about 1.45 and asked what time would be OK; we agreed on 2:15 - 2:30. He arrived on-time at about 2:25 and he and his assistant Tony performed the services described above. They were exceedingly professional, talkative but not chatty, and more than willing to explain what was happening. They fixed everything and cleaned up after themselves. The work was completed in approx. one and a half hours.

Over the course of the next few weeks I called and emailed multiple times to set up a return appointment for that new GFI and ceiling fans to be installed but have never received a response.

Great! My sister was having trouble with an outside electrical outlet that kept tripping (it was the connection for her satellite dish, computers, etc.), so she had no service. I first tried another company, but their technician was unable to make a service call before the holiday, but they recommended Greystone. I called on the Friday before Labor Day & they were able to come out early Saturday morning. The technician arrived a few minutes early & checked the outlet. There was a loose wire causing it to trip; he replaced the outlet & added a weatherproof plastic box cover. Since he had some time left (the minimum service charge is for one hour), he checked a few interior outlets for her as well. One in the garage was causing the wall get hot, so he checked the wall wiring (it was fine), and changed that outlet as well. He took the time to explain everything to my sister in laymen's terms and she was thrilled!

It was a great experience!. They were a little late for the initial appointment, but when I called, Doug was very apologetic, and then came out right away. He explained that they had just started a new computer scheduling process, which resulted in my appointment being missed [He was very sincere, and I believe this is what happened]. He then gave me a significant discount on the price, more than I feel was even necessary. The electricians from Greystone worked very hard to figure out the source of my problem, and to restore my power. I am very grateful, and was astonished at how reasonable the price was. They were also very professional and friendly. I would definitely use them again!
