Highly recommend. They are responsive even to emails unlike other companies. They installed GFIs & updated electrical panel. Receptionist & Electricians are all professional. Mason even remembered our panel when we called the first time for a quote.

The whole experience was excellent. From scheduling the appointment to the moment the work was completed the Cole Electric team was friendly and extremely professional. I had a plug installed in my garage for an EV charger and they did excellent work that was within the original quoted range. We have some other projects around the house and I won't hesitate to contact Cole Electric again to complete them for us.

This group did a big job for me, their communication was great and they were very professional. Everything was online/texting, I was able to send pictures to them while we were discussing the project so they could get a better idea of how large it would be. I will use them again.

They were very honest about their prices up front. A house call no matter what the issue is $150 for the first hour. They solved my electrical issue in 5 minutes I wired my light wrong. still were nice and professional.
