We used Staples Electric a few years ago to bring the electrical system of an older home up to date and to install wired smoke detectors throughout the house. An inspector from FFX County showed up and checked all the electrical work, which included a whole new electrical panel and sub panel to a large backyard shed. Passed first time. I will not use any other electrician as long as I reside in Northern Virginia. Very professional. Highly recommended.

Craig Staples was outstanding. I was having a problem with a series of outlets that were not functioning. I thought the problem was a bad GFI, but it wasn't the problem. I sent an email to Staples Electric, and Craig wrote back to me promptly. I made an appointment by email and he arrived on the day of the appointment within the given timeframe. He diagnosed the issue thoroughly and restored power to my outlets.

Throughout the diagnosis, he was very pleasant and answered all my questions. He also charged me exactly what he quoted me for the work, which I thought was quite reasonable. I will definitely refer my future electrical works for my house to him.

We've used Staples Electric several times in the past years, never let down. Craig is a consummate professional and his staff is very caring and thorough.

Top notch service. I e-mailed Staples Electric late in the evening for an estimate on some electric work I wanted to have done. I received a call early the next morning from Charlene and was able to schedule an appointment for Craig to come out to give the estimate. Craig arrived on-time and was very knowledgeable with his plans for the work. He seemed down to earth, honest and didn't try to up-sell or recommend anything that I didn't need. His estimate was very competitive -- one of the lowest of the 6 estimates I received. If you are looking for an electrician, I highly recommend giving Staples Electric a call!

Great service, I felt like I was in capable hands. Diagnosed the problem with clarity, explained the fix, completed the fix like a boss, and then cleaned up. The problem was caused by a slapdash contractor that I made the mistake of using for a bathroom remodel. I just felt such peace of mind when Staples' guy showed up and figured out what was going on and fixed it. Their standard house visit rate is $135 and I think that is reasonable for their expertise.

Had a complicated electrical issue during our basement remodel last year. The first company who looked at the problem said we would need to tear out a bunch of drywall and estimated 8-12 hours of work. I called Staples to get a 2nd opinion. Craig came by in person to discuss the problem then sent an electrician out the very next day. Craig's man fixed our problem in less than an hour without touching a single piece of drywall. Had a another small issue with some 3 way switches this week. Called Staples on Friday and they sent a tech out Monday morning first thing. Their tech showed up on time, was very friendly, and did a great job. Cannot say enough good things about this company. They are friendly, efficient, and honest to a fault.

During our kitchen renovation, we've found reliable and quality electricians, at Staples Electric. Craig and his employees are prompt, courteous, and above all, experts at what they do. Iggy for example, is a fantastic electrician who's circuits look like works of art. Craig, the owner, is very invested in educating the customer in what's available and what he recommends without being too pushy.

They have done a complete rewire of our kitchen and have replaced our electrical panel for our house. Every time they've come they've been awesome about cleaning up after themselves. I would agree with the rave reviews that led me to them.
