They are always prompt, professional and provide quality work. They're not necessarily the cheapest, but the value you get is unsurpassed. They are "our electrician"!

Was referred by a great friend and electrician who didn't have time to help me with my project.    Emailed them and Brian immediately got a hold of me and was SO helpful!   As it was last minute he didn't have any of his crew that could come (they were booked out a few weeks) and he said he'd personally come out and do it himself but he was just on his way out of town.   We talked a bit and he said it sounded like something I could do myself, and told me exactly how to do it and what materials I needed.  He was amazing!  I will use and reccommend his company ANY DAY.  Went above and beyond and it was much appreciated.

They solved a mystery right away, figured out what needed to be connected inside my rats nest of a wiring box and installed a couple of GFI outlets. I usually do simple wiring tasks myself, but this one was beyond me.

The electrician showed up on time and worked fast. He knew what he was doing and had the parts I needed to complete the job. I was pleased with the quality of the work, and the project cost was reasonable. I would recommend Kemly.

My husband and father in law worked with Mike to get an estimate and schedule the work. They both spoke highly of Mike and preferred to work with him due to both cost and professionalism.  My interaction with the crew was limited but the guys I met were very helpful in explaining the work being done, pointing out problems and potential solutions, and even apologizing for having to put so many holes in the walls to get the work done.  The end result is terrific.  Everything works just as it should and the cost was very reasonable considering the large amount of time and materials that went into the job.

This is my first time using the company, and everything has been going well.  They don't take shortcuts, they're highly knowledgeable, and they get the job done.

Kemly was very responsive in coming out to review my projects. They were slow to get me an estimate - took a week and a half after a couple of calls and an email. Once I got the bid, they were quick to schedule the work and even found an earlier date to come over than originally expected! Two electricians came over. Both were very professional. They got the job done in a half-day. I was expecting two days, so I was happily surprised. I will certainly call them again.

They are excellent. The price is always reasonable. They always get the job done on time and they are always fair with their pricing. I wouldn't use anybody other than them.

It was great. We had two other bids that seemed scared of the scope of the work. The two electricians were timely and worked around my schedule. We lived in our house the whole time, took about a week. I feel so much better having my electricity up to code.

Within an hour of my call James appeared and was able to immediately
diagnose the reason for a non working switch, light and outlet. He
cheerfully moved a heavy bookcase bolted to the wall to reach the
outlet, repaired the burnt wires, explained exactly what he was doing,
only changed the first half hour price despite staying over that time
and provided a senior rate. He was pleasant and fair and competent and
solved the problem! I would call them again in a minute!

They were wonderful workers and great to have in the house.  It was an expensive job but that's electrical.

Kemly Electric has been to our home on 2 occasions.  They are responsive and professional and seem to have all the knowledge needed to complete the job the first time.  We have a 40-y/old home that has some electrical issues, likely due to the previous owner's DIY.  Kemly is somewhat pricey but in the case of Electrical work, you don't want any short cuts (or short circuits...).  We will hire them again when we're ready to tackle the next project on our list.
