Brady & Son Electric LLC

A socket at one point blew out, and I also needed two more upgrades to the sockets around my house. HEY STEVE, I DEFINITELY TESTED THAT LIGHT SWITCH BECAUSE I'M NOT AN IDIOT. By the time Steve got here, a full month of scheduling out later, somehow the socket was working again. Instead of being a real professional and finishing the work I had hired him for, he promptly and rudely left, saying "You always do this." Very professional; to be clear I do NOT always do this. I'm NOT a very handy person, but the FACT is I expected you to finish your work, and you did not. You were rude, and frankly have been rude since the first time you worked at my place.

Steve came out to evaluate an intermittent problem with flickering of recessed low voltage halogen lighting in an upstairs hall. We were immediately impressed by the fact that he brought with him equipment to cover the carpets and that he removed his shoes when he came in, saying that our carpets looked "super clean". He evaluated the lights (which were not flickering today), light switches, and the electrical junction box, and could not find an obvious cause for the problem. He felt that the flickering may be due to overheating caused by the halogen bulbs in these 20+ year old fixtures, and suggested that we try low voltage LED bulbs to see if this resolves the flickering. We were very impressed by his systematic approach to the problem, his suggestions, and the fact that he didn't simply recommend replacing all of the fixtures (an expensive undertaking) unless the flickering persists after changing the bulbs. We will definitely call him again for any electrical needs!

All of the positive reviews about Stephen Brady are consistent and true. First of all, he is a sole proprietor, so you will not get some random person from a huge company. He does all the work himself. It is also true that he is honest and will not try to sell you something that you don't need. He even suggested alternative solutions to my electrical problems but did not require him doing anything. How refreshing, "if it ain't broke don't fix it"! This is the man you want to doing electrical work in your home. I will hire him exclusively for all my home electrical needs.

I've hired Steve for a ton of jobs through two different houses, he is always very professional and does an excellent job.

Fantastic. The electric was run for the lights with minimal holes put in the ceiling, and they repaired all the holes that they did make, leaving us with just having to put touch up paint over those small spots. The lights look great, placed really well, and Steve was great with recommending sizes, number, and spacing. He was super familiar with our area and what others have done in similar houses as he’s local. This was the best experience I’ve had hiring someone to do work on my house, and they will be my preferred electricians going forward.

TRUSTWORTHY, HONEST, REASONABLY PRICED! You need to hire somebody to do your electrical work, right? It should be Steve. Here's why, I hired a handyman to do a lot of electrical work in my first house. By the time I caught on to his mistakes, it was too many projects in and I forgot everywhere he had touched in the house. I spent literally about 3-4 years learning/fixing as much as I could which was done incorrectly. I wasn't satisfied that between the handyman and myself, that my house was electrically safe. I knew I was likely going to have to spend some money, so I bit the bullet, researched and found Steve. I went with him because he is a master electrician, needed somebody on top of their game, was reasonably priced, honest and trustworthy. I got 3 quotes in my area and nobody could touch all of those qualities. Steve has them all. I expressed my concerns about feeling my house was entirely electrically unsafe now and was potentially ready to re-wire the house. Steve flat out told me not to waste my money. In my situation, wiring was of a modern kind, so all I needed was a new panel with AFCI breakers, checking a few things in the house to see what I was so concerned about and basically some deep discussions so I could see why he thought it was still safe and to trust in him. That I did. Even with all my research and trying to do electrical myself, most things are not easy to do and have the peace of mind afterwards. I will be calling Steve next time. **Special THANK YOU to Mario, who works with Steve and did a magnificent job performing many of the tasks.** - Pete

Steve and Mario are great at what they do and it’s always a fair price. They go above and beyond and it’s nice to finally have my go-to electrician.

Steve and his crew are professional in all ways. He stands by his estimate (or does better if possible) and does his best to keep his prices reasonable. For our re-wiring job, his estimate came in considerably lower than a competitor. Steve gets out to do the work quickly and does clean, excellent work. We are happy to trust Steve with any of our electrical work.

They were always on time. The work was exactly what I needed to get my house ready to sell. Charges were extremely reasonable and I feel they were very trustworthy. I would definitely use Brady & Son Elec again and have already recommended them to neighbors and my realtor.

I am very happy with Brady & Son Electric. I’ve called them on several occasions for different issues and they were always quick to respond, on time for appointments, friendly, thorough, and reasonably priced. I’ve got more plans for our house that we’ll need an electrician for and I will definitely be calling Brady & Son again.

They came out looked at job said I would get price in two or three days. Never contacted me or returned to do job. Very unprofessional if they didn't want to do job should have said so!

I hired Brady and Son to install a new electric service line to my home. Steve was a pleasure to work with from the start. He promptly returned my phone call and scheduled a time to stop by to take a look at what needed to be done. I received an estimate within a day of his visit. Steve and his employee arrived as scheduled to complete the work. They were friendly and professional. The work was done as quoted. I have no complaints and would hire Steve again with no hesitation. Most importantly, the price was right and a great value.

Steve confirms all work day ahead, he advise on a near specif time, and on the day of provides an eta that has been spot on every time he's done work. (Additional visits as the residence has lots of work, not at all for rework or corrections). He is spotless in his work leaving my residence cleaner than when he arrived. He confirms and checks in with all aspects of the job and as my outlets were many and we were not sure if already grounded or needed grounding he checked in on the status of each. The bill was exactly what he estimated before work was done and I have already planned on additional work and this will be done by Steve Brady. It must be noted that I had an electrical concern (for work done before I purchased the residence and not done by Steve Brady) and Steve talked me through it. He suggested I take pictures and send them to him. He reviewed and advised that all was ok, but knowing my concern regarding electricity he stopped over to see in person and walked me through everything he was seeing. I highly recommend Brady Electric, even if it means Steve gets busier and I have to wait longer for an apointment.

Excellent! Two outlets had shorted out and these were repaired promptly. I also had two new outlets installed--one in a downstairs powder room and another in a closet

Brady and Son's came thru and were quick and efficient. The pricing was competitive and very nice guys to talk work with. I felt I could trust them. In fact I recommended them to a friend and he saved her $5K on work that did not have to be done that was suggested by another electrician. I highly would recommend them.

Steve arrived on time and the work was completed in a fast efficient manner. He was neat and cleaned up all areas when complete. His work is high quality and the price was fair for this type of work.

Steve's price for the work was significantly better than the other two proposals I got, so based on that and his great ratings I accepted his proposal and plans were made to do the work about two weeks later. Steve and his assistant Mario arrived on time and got right to work. The kitchen and living room jobs went fine and the work looks good. In the shower, however, the installed light was placed far off from the center of the shower, making it look odd. Steve said that the placement was due to a joist in the attic that passed very near the center of the shower. However, when I went into the attic I saw that the light could have been placed on the other side of the joist, in which case it would have been much closer to the center of the shower. I'm guessing that he was rushing to finish the job in one day, so he didn't take the time to check this out. I also had an odd interaction with Steve when I asked about installing a second light switch on the other side of the kitchen, where there's a second entrance. Instead of discussing the options and costs, he just asked me if I really needed it. I interpreted that to mean he didn't want to do that job, at least on that day, so I dropped my request. To contrast that, I'll mention that when the original light installed in the shower seemed too bright for the space, I asked Steve to get a less bright replacement, which he brought by the next day without complaint. Additionally, he is prompt in replying to emails. My overall rating would have been an "A" if the shower light had been placed on the other side of the joist. Because it was not, and because of the strange interaction described above, I'm unsure if I would hire Steve again. If I did, it might be only for work that would not be visible.

This was a small job, but Steve was very responsive.

Quick response to my phone call. Scheduled job for 2 weeks out. On time. Work done quickly and professionally. Installed improved product on outside.

Excellent work. Very professional. Good pricing. Overall great job.

AMAZING. Steve and Mario showed up on time and covered all furniture and carpet and got to work right away. They are fun and easy to work with - this is the second time I've used Brady & Son and I really enjoy their candor, their eye for design and give and take sensibility when making such important illumination changes to our home. They tested everything before they left, explained how the new switching would work and how the remote for the ceiling fan and dimmer would work. I would highly recommend Brady & Son and I'm certain they'll be back for our next upgrade.

Great. Steve is responsive, courteous, reasonable and always does excellent work.

I contacted Brady for the replacement of some knob & tube wiring. Steve wrote back and we exchanged a few emails and he said it's just too messy of a job for him as a smaller contractor. I appreciated the candid explanation of "this isn't my thing" and he even suggested other local contractors he would recommend that are a bit larger and could handle the work. I just want to let others on Angie List know that he surely comes across as a reputable contractor and I valued his candor and honesty about what types of work he does and doesn't want to mess around with.

Steve came out to give an estimate for a very small need. He was responsive and prompt, and there was no charge to come out for the estimate. After looking at it, he offered to just do it then and there. Since it was such a small job, he offered to do it as a courtesy. He spent about 15 minutes out in 95 degree / humid weather. Seemed like a great guy. Got the impression no job too big or too small. He just wanted us to take some business cards, but I insisted on forcing a few bucks on him. Other places would have charged $70 just for an estimate. We really liked his sense of business, and we will definitely use him again.

very smooth, very professional. Don't know what else to say but the website won't let me submit without including more information
