Electrical for Home Addition or Remodel Installation
Richard signed a contract to install outlets, switches, LED lights, a smoke detector, and wires for a fan for our spare bedroom. He collected almost all the payment upfront, but performed only half the work. He then refused to complete the project claiming that the company has closed. When I asked for a referral to whoever has taken over the company, he hung up my phone. Richard is now blocking my phone calls. In short, Richard collected payment and abandoned the project half way despite signing a contract.

Rick provided a very clear and competetive estimate on our remodeling electrical works. His electricians are very professional and did a great job. Our foreign-built fridge doesn't work initially, as it was not complaint to the latest us code. Rick and Mitch helped us on diagnostic and make it work with no additional charge. Highly Recommended.

No need to to look any further. You have found your best choice with Rick. He is competent, reliable and affordable. He was the only electrician willing to take over my remodel and fix the poor work that was done prior. Not only did he still price the job aggressively, but he also looked for every opportunity for me to save me money. He was crafty and. quick on sourcing materials I needed that was otherwise impossibly to get or had a 6 month wait. He is well versed with code requirements and what is and is not necessary. He gave great suggestions and was not offended if I didnâ t take all of them. He knew the inspectors and carried a good reputation with them. He is a no BS man and expects to be paid on time considering the pricing is so very reasonable , I was more than happy to do so every time. Itâ s important to respect someone that makes you feel like they are on your team. He is organized and thorough yet still admits if he made a mistake. He has since done many jobs for my clients and each time he was both the most knowledgeable and least expensive. Canâ t thank you enough man!

They did a great job re-wiring a three-family building for us. They are competitively priced, and they meet their commitments. The team is very competent and easy to work with. We highly recommend them, and we are looking forward to working with them in the future.

Local Electric was refreshingly easy to work with. President Rich Melino has a lifetime of experience; his evaluations and estimates were spot on. The two electricians assigned to my kitchen wiring project were highly experienced, professional, efficient, and their workmanship was absolutely top quality. My father was an electrician, and I know quality electrical work when I see it. The city electrical inspector was impressed with the work. The price was fair. I highly recommend Local Electric.

Rick was quick to respond and to put together a quote for me. We had 2 of his team over, who did an amazing job tidying up my panel as well as a handful of jobs around the house. 5 star service, great quality of work, and the whole team were extremely friendly throughout

Rick Merlino, his journeymen electricians, Joe and Bill, and their apprentice did a first-rate job installing a new meter box and service cable on my house. Rick answered my request right away, talked me through the options and gave me fair pricing. I know because I checked in with other contractors. Joe, Bill, and their apprentice came out in cold weather at 7:00 a.m. and quickly removed the old meter box and service cable, installed the new one at my preferred location and laid in grounding rods and wire. They made sure to minimize the time I would be without power. When I asked Rick to make one cosmetic revision after the job was done, he sent Joe to take care of it the very next morning. Excellent service, quality workmanship. I highly recommend Local Electric.

Mr Rick, the owner of Local Electrical Services, quoted me a very reasonable price to remove all the knob and tube wiring from my Victorian home. The electricians, Mr Bill and Mr Chris did great work on my home with very little damage to the walls. And all of the holes they were required to make were rough patched. The job took longer than expected but I always felt comfortable with Mr Bill and Mr Chris in my home. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to remove knob and tube wiring or any electrical upgrades in their home.

I recently purchased my home and during the inspection process, I asked Rick to come out and have a look at some electrical issues the home was having. He explained everything that needed to be done and recommended that if we were considering 200A service this would be a great time to take care of that since much of the same equipment would be replaced. After purchasing the home, we hired Rick and his team. They were easy to work with and did a great job. Price was reasonable and as quoted. I will definitely use Local Electric again the next time I need an electrician.

Richard immediately responded when I put in request through Home Advisor. He personally came to my house to bid the job. Started the job within days. The team was thorough and professional. Richard provided updates throughout the job, ALWAYS answered the phone and responded to email. It's rare to find a contractor like this, I would highly recommend. Price was fair and work was done RIGHT! Thank you Richard.
