Giudici Electric

I utilized this electrician to install a new double oven. The two people they sent to complete the install misrepresented their arrival and departure times by about a half hour (apparently they call in their times to the main office at the time of arrival and departure), which of course, at $195/hour, added up. They didn't know how to actually install the oven and couldn't comprehend the instructions (in the owner's manual) and so, I had to Google some youtube video for them to watch, which they did over and over again for a total of about a half hour (again at $195/hour). They finally completed the install, which in the end was satisfactory. However, a few days later I received a bill for $390 based on a 2-hour install time, which should have been based on just over an hour. When I called to request that they adjust the bill based on the actual arrival and departure times as well as the half hour that was spent watching the google video on how to install an oven, I was told by "Chris" that watching videos on how to install appliances is sometimes necessary, even at $195/hour on my dime. This did not seem reasonable. I would personally not use this company again or recommend them to anyone. If anyone decides to use them, I suggest they clock in the arrival and departure times and have the electrician acknowledge the time in writing. I would also make sure that Google is available for some on-the-job training and be prepared to pay for the time spent while they educate themselves. Chris also advised that customers are charged for an additional hour if the electricians go over an hour by even a few minutes. Apparently it's always rounded up to the next hour, another $195 in their pocket. Finally, I will add that "Chris" was very arrogant on the phone and difficult to speak with. It was very evident to me that he had made up his mind well before getting on the phone with me and stated that he couldn't care less if I write a negative review on Google. I've used them before and always paid in full and timely. This did not seem to matter to Chris and the extra $100 was apparently worth it to him, even at the expense of losing my business.

Perfectly. On time, on budget, with great professionalism; easy to work with; responsive; well-priced; very knowledgeable.

These guys are professional but they charged me three times what was reasonable. If you use them get a firm fixed-price quote up front or you will be in for a major surprise.

I thought he was a nice guy, but he and his workers were nasty, and irritable. He cut my TV line and the clothing line my father made as a carpenter before he died, and claimed no responsibility. He left grounds in my yard that he did not tell me about, and I tripped over one of them. I called him about the grounds he left, and he laughed and yelled at me that he's doing me a favor yet he didn't even finish the job!

We lost power in the middle of the night and woke up to a very cold house. Odd thing was only half the house was out (of course, that half covered Heat, Fridge, A/X Heat Pump...). Called Guidici, they're local. They had a crew here within 2 hours and we they found the issue almost immediately. Very professional crew, we now have an electrician!!

Chris came out and gave me an estimate on a Generac Generator. He was a gentlemen. Glenn and the installation crew are really nice and accommodating. They did what they proposed and I am very happy.

They went to work quickly and made sure everything was cleaned up before leaving.

Worked 20 min. finding out the problem in short circuit and dis-conected the wiring from the switch. Charged for 45 min. Upon complaining price was reduced to by $20 as one time favor.

We took a 55 year old house to the studs, every inch of wire and electric is new. They were very nice, and once they were near end of project they were very fastidious about cleaning up and the like.

I found them to be very professional and very straightforward. They arrived on time and went to work right away. They worked hard and accomplished the installation quickly without any delay, despite a very challenging wiring route necessary for the built-ins.

Short version: The Giudici crew arrived on-time. The work was completed and the work area was left clean. Long version: After a timely arrival, work began on replacement of the exterior lighting fixtures, which was completed in a short time. Then, the roof heating coil (which prevents ice dam's from forming on a particularly troublesome part of my roof), was replaced, also in a short period of time. The work then began on moving the exterior electrical box for our outdoor Jacuzzi (to bring it up to code). The wiring was re-routed through the basement ceiling, then out an exterior wall. Next, the wiring for the up-light for the flagpole was run from an existing exterior light post. I now have 3 lights illuminating my 25' flagpole. In all, the work took approximately 6 hours. In conclusion, I would like to add that I have used Giudici electric for approximately 15 years. They have an excellent work ethic, extraordinary skills, they're reliable, listen to my needs, help with design, and stand behind all work completed. No, they are not the 'cheapest' electricians on Long Island. But their workmanship is of the highest quality.

Reinstalled electric service which had been ripped off the house by a falling tree branch. Insurance company accepted their estimate. They arrived on the scheduled date and completed the job in a professional manner with minimal down time for our electric service.

Very professional. Steve came for the repair and did a neat job! He also repaired additional electrical items. Will use again.

Work was done cleanly and efficiently.

The guys had been to my house twice, and after changing lots of things which didn't fix the problem, they identified the line was bad. I had no problem with them nor their work, but the root cause problem still existed. I called and spoke with Chris to discuss the issue. He was also the guy who gave me the estimate to refeed. My beef is that I wanted the first visit credited, or at least a portion, toward the job of actually fixing the problem. He refused claiming that and quot;we didn't cause the problemand quot; and and quot;time is how they make their moneyand quot;. The first point is obvious, but all of their time spent changing things which didn't identify nor fix the problem, were ultimately unnecessary to solving it. While changing out the tape splice, a new switch, a new breaker and a new weatherproof box were all and quot;improvementsand quot; to what was there, they were not the source of the problem. Pardon the pun, but rather than poking around in the dark changing things and quot;just becauseand quot; and charging me all the time, I think it would have been much fairer to credit me for that time and cost toward the actual fix. Since he wouldn't yield, I said thanks but no thanks, paid the invoices for their work and got somebody else to actually fix the problem. These guys don't see the big picture. I'm about to sell this house and move to another house. I don't want to spend unnecessary dollars on the house I'm leaving. I want to spend it on my new house. So instead of accommodating me, he only gets his and quot;timeand quot; paid, but doesn't get the bigger job and won't get anything on my new house!

First, for the estimater they arrived exactly on time. Very knowledgeable. Received emailed estimate the next business day. The day of the work, they arrived with 5 minutes of the appointment. They replaced 4 hihats damaged where a tree fell on our home from storm Sandy - approx 1/3 of the cost of the job. New hihats with existing wires, placement looks perfect. Work was clean, just a litte insulation dust as the ceiling has not been sheet rocked yet. We have a Gentran box in our basement. Before we had to drag a 50 foot heavy cable from the box out the garage door to the generator. We would get exhuast fumes in through the garage door that would not close with the cable in it. They installed an inlet in the garage and wired that to the Gentran box, they also added a circuit and changed a circuit for the Gentran box and supplied the a new cord for use between the inlet and the generator (the old was not configured correctly and not reusable). They started the generator and fully tested their work. The next night we had 60 mph winds and the power was off in the morning, it now took about a minute to start the generator, run the cable to the inlet and flip the swithches on the Gentran. We hat lights in our den, kitchen, freezer, refrigerator and heat.

I had a bad circuit leading to my kitchen microwave, as well as intermittent outages on other circuits. They were able to trace the problems to a bad ground to my water supply system, as well as a bad circuit breaker and an under-sized line to my microwave. Both issues were repaired quickly. The guys were very professional, found the issues quickly and repaired them quickly. They cleaned up after their work was completed as well. I do not know the bill as yet, it will be sent out from their office. I will update the cost when I receive it. They are also going to quote me on a hook-up for my new generator. I have used them in the past as well, and highly recommend them.

The crew assigned to our job was prompt - they arrived within 15 mnutes of when they said they would arrive. They surveyed the work to be done and explained how they were going to go about it. The work was initiated and completed in a very professional manner and they were extremely NEAT!!!!

My Mother is elderly and was without airconditioning on a very hot day. When I explained the situation to Giudici's office she promised to try to get someone out here the same day. It was very busy because of the holiday weekend. She stayed on top of it and was in constant communication with me. She was courteous and attentive as were the 2 electricians. Great service!!!!!

Chris was professional in his giving an estimate and researching the fixtures needed for the job; easy to reach for any questions. THe two electricians who performed the work were top notch.

They are always very professional, neat and clean. They introduce themselves when they come in. They clean up after themselves and they do great work. They are all pricey, but I would pay that because they are worth every penny. So, the price evens out.

OMG! My husband smelled something burning in our room while we were sleeping. He was up all night but couldn't find the source. Having had a LOT of electrical work done in our house (thank you Guidicci!), we got paranoid. I called Glenn and he was over within the hour. After checking EVERYTHING...he found our ceiling fan motor burning out!! The motor was disconnected and I went shopping for a new fan (always hated that one!). A few days later, my fan was installed. While I had them here, I had my son's fan changed since it was broken. Thank God because it was an accident waiting to happen (kind of knew this from the quality work of the previous owners). This is the first contractor who has actually done exactly what he said they would do and beyond. The workers are professional and clean. I absolutely recommend them for any electrical work and this is a first after being screwed by so many contractors in the past. 2 for 2!!! Thanks!!!

I was amazed at how prompt and professionally everything went. There were no hidden charges, everything was done as discussed and within the time promised. The workers were very curteous and did a great clean up job when done. All my questions were answered so that I could understand them. Very pleased with the job.

DO NOT CONTRACT THIS COMPANY. They advertise a 5% discount for seniors on their website, but when I proved they did not stay the full 3 hours they billed me for, I was told, "I gave you a courtesy of 5%, now, since I will take a half hour (HAH!) off your bill, you wont save a thing because I'm taking that courtesty back. You won't save a thing." The men who were sent could not find the "source" of the driveway lighting electrics, so instead dug up my fixtures, used "line finders", told me I had "too complicated wiring", then ultimately "discovered" there was a direct lighting application to my 4 driveway lights in the garage (which I showed them previously). This direct application needed no new light/wiring digging. Needed NO new wiring. I was still treated rather poorly by the billing folks. I can be contacted at [email protected]. The team that was sent to my home were chain smokers, as well. AND I HAVE ASTHMA. Be aware when a team is sent to you unapologetically smoking cigarettes and "warn" you that your "wiring is just too complicated".

We wanted to install high hats in our living room and all bedrooms since we have a high ranch and it seemed very dark. In addition, we had outlets that were not working and some were fire hazards that needed to be covered. We wanted lights in the garage and sensors in the backyard for security reasons. We found Giudici Electric through Angie's list and called which they responded right away. Chris Giudici came to the house within two days of the call and we explained what we would like to do. He made suggestions and walked us through the process and said that he would have an estimate for us in a day or two, which he did. We received an estimate of the total job and set up a date to start the work. Mr. Giudici's team came 8a.m. sharp as promised and worked all day. His team is punctual, courteous, and professional and very pleasant to work with. Since I had to work, my wife stayed at home while they completed the work in two and a half days, also as promised. She felt very comfortable with the team and was impressed in how quickly and efficiently they accomplished the job. They cleaned up every day as they finished each job for the room they worked in. They left the house spotless and you would have never known they had just worked in that area. We feel the price was fair for the amount of work that was done and the results were great! All worth the money. We would definately recommend Giudici Electric to anyone and would use them again in the future.
