I can't say enough about this company. Everything from estimate to scheduling the work was pleasant and professional. Very responsive to giving estimate in a timely manner. I had electrical and plumbing work done. My electrician Mike really knew his stuff and completed 5 different jobs in one day. Outstanding work and really communicated well. Explained everything he was going to do and answered all of my questions thoroughly.
He was a great guy. The plumbers are finishing up tomorrow. All the work done to date has been top notch and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend this company for all your electrical and plumbing jobs. You won't be disappointed and can rely on quality work. Update: Jeremiah finish the plumbing today and did a great job. Going to really love the shower addition to the powder room upstairs in the bedroom.

All I can say is we had a fantastic experience with this company. Justin Hinkley was outstanding. Nicest guy. Fast, polite, knowledgeable and very personable. My fiance and I had to leave for an appointment and my mother came to the house to watch our daughters while we left and even my mom told me what a great guy he was. He knew exactly what he was doing we have old electric in our home (built in the 50's) and he hung our new chandelier in the dining room and told us more about our wiring than anyone else has known.
The pricing was totally fair considering the amount of work that had to be done. He even called on his way to see if we wanted coffee. I just can't say enough about this experience it was all around 5 stars!

Tim gave us an estimate to replace 3 bathroom fans that were original. Tim was very professional throughout the process. Very impressed. The companies follow up is great, which a lot of companies do not do. When he arrived he put on booties and went right to work. Very neat. When he was done reviewed what he did with us. This is a great company and staff for residential and commercial work. He also fixed a shower head that needed tightening.

Nichols Electric & Plumbing and Hess Harden are the very best! We called after hours on Monday evening, and received an appointment for Tuesday morning! Hess arrived on time, and made everything right within 30 minutes! He took care of a faucet problem & a water heater problem for us. Hess accompanied me throughout the house, to make sure that all our faucets were working properly after he turned our water back on. Professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and courteous! We'll have Hess back to do a couple of plumbing upgrades for us soon. Thank you Nichols & Hess for all your help!

I am very pleased with the service that I received from Nichols Electric and Plumbing. Joe Brennan did an excellent job with plumbing repairs that we needed done. He called first and arrived during the time period that I was given when scheduling the appointment. Joe was professional, knowledgeable, and very clear on his explanations from start to finish. He also had no problems with our big dog being around. Would definitely recommend Nichols Electric and Plumbing and will use again in the future.

It can be difficult playing phone tag with contractors, so when I saw that with Nichols you could just pick a time and date online and the visit is all scheduled, it was such a relief. The convenient and quick booking is great and the guy that came out, Mike, was really nice and did a good job. Might cost a little bit more, but it's worth it to not have the headache of waiting for other companies/contractors to call you back. This was a smooth, professional experience and I'll be using Nichols again in the future.
