Brian does excellent work at a reasonable price. He is in demand so there is a wait time until he can begin your work.

Great. Brian came up with a great solution for installing new outdoor light. Also had great idea of installing timer on later. Was very punctual and cleaned up areas after work. Would definitely use his services again in the future. However, he seems quite busy so took some time to schedule appointment.

Better than I ever could have imagined. Brian was on time as usual and did a fabulous job as usual. Avoided my having to pay to have a new light pole installed (in cement). Instead he sanded, primed, and repainted my rusting existing light pole. It looks brand new and this work saved me lots of money! And it was easy-peasy for him to add new lights to my townhouse, even through the brick wall. AND as a courtesy to me, since I live in Brian's neighborhood, he even helped me with my front door and the hardware!!! I have had Brian and Tony work for years on my townhouse and condo. I simply can't say enough about them. It's like having work done by your own family members whom you trust, who have your best interests at heart, and who deliver even more than they promise. When they mention something that will save you money, it is not because it is some crazy, cheap, scotch-taped temporary solution. They only do things the right way and they stand by what they do. Once, I had one light switch out of about 25 go bad a year later after they worked on it. They showed up and fixed it for free, no questions asked. So I recommend them to everyone I know. Their prices are very reasonable for the high quality of the work and the trust you can have in the solution. Everyone should be so lucky.

It went exceedingly well! The lighting/fan unit that we wanted replaced used florescent bulbs which were nearly impossible to remove and replace. I therefore had bought a replacement unit for Brian (with L&S Electric) to install. However, due to Brian's creative thinking and expertise, he was able to replace the lighting unit within our existing device and convert it into a simple, intuitive LED lighting unit. By doing so, I was able to return the new unit I had purchased for a full refund, and now we have the best of both worlds: the excellent fan from the existing unit, as well as the ability to now burn simple LED bulbs in that same device. Again, this was a wonderful solution which I wouldn't have even known was a possibility without Brian. Not only did he save us a bunch of money by enabling us to return the new unit we had purchased, but he charged us a very reasonable amount for his labor. We have used Brian for years, and he is an outstanding electrician who looks out for the customer's best interests first and foremost. I can't recommend him highly enough to anyone seeking an honest, highly-experienced, skilled electrician.

Brian and his assistant was very professional, fast and courteous.  They took time to answer questions and suggest really good solutions to problems.  I hired them to do several electrical work in the master bath, master closet and kitchen.  They moved a light switch in the master bath and had to remove a medicine cabinet in order to do that, patched up the hole and had it paint ready for me.  They also removed old light fixures and installed new ones.  I also needed an additional  light in the master closet so they crawled up in the attic to install a new junction box.  Brian had an excellent idea of using an existing master bath light fixture for the master closet instead of buying a new one....great idea!!  as I was going to throw out the old master bath light fixture anyway.  He also suggested a great idea for additional light for above the kitchen sink.  The former owners had installed a makeshift light over the sink that had live wires, not safe, and ugly.  I've asked 3 different contractors what to do and no one had a good solution.  Brian came up with a great practical solution with minimal damage and repair, it was the best solution under the circumstances and I couldn't be happier.  It gives off so much light, it is fantastic!  I really appreciated Brian's consultative approach and problem solving.  Would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone.

This is my second time working with the guys at L&S. They are a very professional crew and set clear expectations about the work to be performed. They arrived on time and spent time with me to understand what I wanted and to provide creative options and different alternatives. They were careful to move the furniture out of the office and cover the built-in shelves with plastic to keep the dust down. Before they left for the day they vacuumed the room and put all the furniture back. The job required a few cuts to be made to the wall to run wire and they patched the holes and left them for me ready to be painted. The project was completed exactly as I expected. I will definitely work with L&S again.

The team showed up on time and did a great installation job. I have always used Land S Electric for my electrician needs - both for my home and rental properties. They perform quality work at a fair price - will continue to use them.

Land S is great. I've been using them since 2007 when they installed recessed lighting in my living room. They are the only company I call when I need an electrician because of their professionalism and quality of work.

All the work went very smoothly. Brian came to our then recently purchased house to provide a free estimate, and I was immediately pleased that he was very personable, knowledgeable, and professional. When I raised questions about a couple of things that he thought did not warrant paying for his services, he told me just that and advised me what to do. He also provided me with written notes on exactly what type of LED bulbs with which to replace our then-numerous incandescent flood lights in recessed ceiling fixtures. Land S's pricing was very competitive - higher than others on some items and lower on others. The deciding factor was really Brian's professionalism - I knew he would be easy to work with and felt confident that he would treat us fairly if we added or change tasks. All that proved to be true. Though we had to wait several weeks to get a place on their schedule, Brian and Tony arrived at the appointed time and date, went to work and finished ahead of schedule. We had another contractor working in the house the same day, and they not only worked around each other, but actually helped each other out with minor materials. Discussions during the first work day led to having Land S return to install and connect a dedicated circuit for our central vacuum, which in turn solved issues we had with frequently tripping the breaker on the circuit where the vac had been installed previously. We also had them back a third time to resolve an issue with wiring for lights in a wall unit installed by a home office contractor. Our experiences with Land S have been very positive, and we have found their pricing very reasonable. You may be able to find an electrician at a lower price, but in this case, the value of Land S's service more than justified any minor additional cost we may have incurred. We will call them back for any future electrical work, and highly recommend them.

I would recommend them to anyone. It went very well. They came to our house for probably four times. If they put hole on your walls, they patch it.

Brian and his colleague did fast, excellent work. He was able to quickly provide a complete estimate and schedule the work when he got back from vacation. The quality of work was spot-on and the price was better than other estimates I received. Good guy to chat with before, during and after the work was performed. Highly recommend.

Tony came out several weeks in advance of installation to walk through my "to do" list and give me an estimate for the work.  At that time he disconnected the old attic fan switch so that the roofer could install the new fan.  Tony arrived in the mid-morning and began work on the bathroom switch and fixed the broken exterior light, as well as connecting the attic fan wiring.  Brian arrived a bit later and the two of them installed the recessed lights and new switch.  The new switch wiring required some work up in the hot attic (sorry Tony!). All of the work was completed by about 3:00, including cleaning up.  Brian also did the drywall patching where the old ceiling fixtures had been, so that I could do the touch-up painting.  I've used L & S Electric on jobs previously and while they may not be the cheapest in town, their work is outstanding, they arrive as planned, and are very pleasant to work with.  Thanks guys for another great job.
