They arrived on time. They listened to me as I prioritized the tasks and described my budget for the project. They helped me save money my showing me a way to use the lighting fixture I had instead of buying a new one. They did the work within the allotted time. They were professional and courteous.

Gowdy’s team was professional, prompt, and prepared. They are my go to electrical company for scheduled as well as emergency electrical work after hours. From tenant buildouts to parking lot lighting they handle it all. I recommend them to everyone.

The team from the office to the tech all the way to the head of the company was great. They came out and knocked out the projects I had lined up. They were very professional and cleaned up once they were done. I would definitely hire again!

Gowdy Electric is a great team of folks from the owner (Scott Gowdy) to the scheduler (Ashley). The technician (Jason) that did my work was the best. Friendly and personable, while at the same time professional, thorough, and efficient. I was performing as the general contractor for the remodel of a rental property into my primary home. Scott and his team were very helpful and patient with me on a job that took multiple visits to complete. This is definitely the "go-to" team for me on any future electrical needs.

Outstanding- John worked had to install the video doorbell, couldn’t get to work? Had the Ring Tech folks on the line w/him for 30 minutes! He checked lines, voltage etc. way beyond the call of duty! Ring determined the kit may be defective! He still installed everything to enable me to merely switch out the kit once it came! Very professional, efficient and kind! The system came on line by itself 4 hrs Later!?

Some materials they didn't have and I wasn't thrilled with the wiring set up that was done but it was better than what we had before so I was just happy they came and helped. The tech was professional and punctual.
