The electricians took their time to replace the old electrical panel we had and replace it with a new one. I would definitely use them again.

PK & Altman was the best! They visited my home within two days of my initial contact to give me a price quote, and scheduled and completed the job within two days after that. They showed up on time, their work was high quality, and they held to their original price estimate even though they encountered a couple of challenges during the job. I recommend them highly!

The electrician team was on time and very helpful during the inspection. The DOB inspector removed the 25 year old violation (from a previous electrician) as the result of the team's efforts. I would recommend them. Service: Panel repair

I hired PK and Altaman for lighting fixure and outlet fixing. Original appointment was at 9-AM. At 10.30 AM, no show. I called them - a lovely receptionist stated that there is an emergency and the tech will be here at 2 PM. AT 2.30 PM - no show. I call again - another receptionist says 'there is an emergency - he needs to make a stop somewhere else first'. Here I am took the day off (which I don't get paid btw) and pregnant and aggravated.
This was an unnecessary stress for me. I had paid them 50% down payment for the work ahead of time. As of now, no work done. No courtesy call that there was a delay. Never would recommend them to anyone. Hire someone else - but not them.
