Excellent, Walter Nowicki has done work at my house twice and will be coming back to install a Nest Thermostat. He is highly knowledgeable and fast to respond to my calls. Highly recommend.

I couldn't be happier with Walter's work. A true professional with very reasonable prices. I would not hesitate to use him again.

"This work was performed in 2013. Why so long to to express dissatisfaction? Why did you not call me? We have had a long standing business relationship and have always worked well together."

Very nice guys helped solve a couple minor problems replacing a switch in the kitchen and looking at a bathroom light. We called to have the dishwasher disconnected and they will be back to connect the new one next week.

Walter and another electrician worked very quickly and efficiently. They came up with way to replace a bathroom fan installed in a tight spot - allowing the job to be done at lower cost. Will definitely use again.

Walter is a great guy--skillful, professional, punctual, responsive. He always works quickly and well on both large and small scale jobs. Cannot recommend him too highly.

I've hired Walter Nowicki a few times over the last 2 years and he's always fantastic! He's very professional and his services are reasonably priced. In this instance, he ran into some challenges pulling the wires through the ceiling of our condo due to duct work. He took it all in stride and found a way around the issues without much trouble.
A lot of contractors also leave a huge mess when they are finished. Walter is not one of them. Not only does he respect the environment he works in, but he cleans up the job site when he is finished. I would hire Walter Nowicki again without any hesitation!

WJ Nowicki Inc were fantastic! They did the work in two parts. They installed a relay system for the TV, cable box and all the cables to be concealed behind closed doors. You can work all of them with the doors closed, so you don't have to see all that stuff. It is really great and I had no idea they did stuff like that. He told me that when he came the first time. On that visit he hung a flat screen TV on the wall, and hooked up all the stuff there. He installed an outlet over the fireplace for the gallery light we had on a picture on that wall. He also installed a couple of outlet boxes for us, and a switch. He was very professional, he worked with a younger guy. He was here on time, it was done for the price he had told me it was going to be. It was a really good price for all the stuff that he did. They were clean, he knew his business, they came and did it and was gone in a flash. We have been suffering not having this stuff done for quite a while and he is my guy from now on. That is another thing. It was a little job and we got somebody to come!

Service was excellent.  Work was done professionally and for the price quoted.  I would not hesitate to hire again for future electrician needs.

Several things were easily fixed on the first visit.  The cause of another problem became clear after the first visit and was repaired on the second.  Walter and his assistant were prompt, friendly and professional and cleaned up after their work.   I was very happy with their service and communication.

Walter's quote was second best, but the lowest sounded sketchy. He showed up exactly when promised, and did the work very quickly and competently. I did not care for the switches he used, so he swapped them for the next day with no additional charge. I asked him to also check on a chandelier I was having a problem with, and he showed me that what should have been a three-way dimmer was actually not, and had been incorrectly installed by the previous owner. He installed a new three-way dimmer, which solved the problem. His hourly rate sounds high, but it includes both he and his assistant, and since they both know exactly what they're doing the work is done very quickly.

It was a great experience overall. When I called for an estimate Walter was out the same day, and they were able to come back and do the job a week later. The service upgrade install went faster than I expected, I was only without power for ~3-4 hours and they provided temp power during that time. They are very neat and professional in their work and use all high quality components (siemens breakers, etc). Very friendly guys and are happy to answer questions and explain the process as they go.

From start to finish, these guys are great. Walter Nowicki is one of the best out there. Very knowledgeable, courteous and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them and plan to use them again for my electrical work. Walter provides superb service at a fair price and is extremely reliable.

They answered the phone quickly and were very pleasant. Offered to come out same-day and arrived early. Very neat, clean and professional. Provided a free estimate, and then were available for service immediately. Very thorough, and gave good explanations of the work as they were doing it. Final costs fell within the estimate, despite work being done beyond initial specifications.

The first time we called the company, they responded with a date and time to come to our house to perform the work. They showed up on time, and the owner was very friendly and professional to deal with. The work was done efficiently with no hassles or problems. We would certainly call them again for electrical work.

We bought a light fixture and one electrician said they couldn't install it. This guy was able to do the work. He has very reasonable. He always shows up on time to do the work.

QUALITY OF WORK WAS GOOD, BUT SLOPPY IN CLEAN-UP. SERIOUSLY EXCEEDED TIME FRAME TO COMPLETE WORK. BIGGEST COMPLAINT WAS TIMELINESS.
Response from WJ Nowicki Inc
"THIS PERSON IS USING THIS FORUM AS A LAST DITCH EFFORT TO JUSTIFY TAKING 2+ MONTHS TO PAY A BILL. WE HELPED THIS CLIENT OUT OF A TIME PROBLEM, AS THEY HAD NO CONTRACTOR TO WIRE THEIR STORE. WE INSTALLED LIGHTING THAT WAS PURCHASED BY THEM, AND WAS DEFECTIVE OUT OF BOX. THEY CONTINUALLY EXPANDED THE SCOPE OF WORK AND EXCEEDED THEIR SCHEDULED TIME, AND WE HAVE A TWO WEEK BACK LOG AT ALL TIMES. ALSO, WE WERE TOLD TO "LEAVE THE MESS" AS THEY WERE UNWILLING TO PAY OUR RATE TO CLEAN UP. THEY SIGNED A CONTRACT, AND THEN AFTER TWO MONTHS OF NO RESPONSE TO BILLING, THEY DECIDED TO DEDUCT $250. APPARENTLY, THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO SATISFY THIS CLIENT. THINK TWICE ABOUT WORKING FOR THIS CLIENT IF THEY ARE ACTING AS THEIR OWN GENERAL CONTRACTOR AGAIN, OR AT LEAST, CHARGE FOR THE HEADACHE."
