Jim Gangi came out and diagnosed the issues, conveyed his opinion and suggestions. No pressure and communicated his findings very well
5-star experience! Easy to make an appointment, great communication, excellent work from knowledgeable, experienced, friendly electricians. Site cleanup was perfect. Will definitely hire Dawson’s Electric again! Thanks, Jonathan and Mason!
Great and Friendly Service!
Jim was so helpful and proactive. He made sure that everything was cleaned. He came prepared with parts I didn’t have and he was absolutely pleasant to speak with! Ive always had awesome service with Dawson’s. I highly recommend them for any electrical work you need done.
Great service!
Tim is top notch. He and his partner were efficient, thoughtful, and laid out multiple price options for our service needs. He generously threw in a couple additions at no cost. Very nice guy as well. Would highly recommend.
Jonathan Baker did an excellent job of explaining options for my electrical system. He worked quickly and efficiently and was patient in explaining how my new gear works. Much appreciated!
Johnathan and Michael were very helpful
Jim did a really great job for us! The recessed lights he wired up in the living room just sparkle and we could not be happier. He also did excellent work in our garage and made sure to replace as much drywall as possible to cut down on our repairs. We would hire him again!
Will use them again
Professional, fast, and took great care to make our new fixtures look great!
The entire process was seamless with great communication. From schedule the appointment through all the work being done. Professional, courteous and job well done.
work done quickly and am satisfied.
Really great service. Very knowledgeable electrician
My experience with other electric companies, have been fairly poor. Dawson’s Electric was easy to make an appointment, they were on time, they looked presentable, they did a great job, they were quick, and the electrician (Jim Gangi) was the politest person. I was extremely impressed. As a woman, it is important for me to feel safe with the people that are working on my home. Jim was respectful, honest, and professional. I have multiple jobs in my upcoming new home and I will not hesitate to call Dawson’s Electric for all my electrical needs. Thank you!
Mr Torres was puntual, kept us informed at all times of his arrival. Listen to my needs and provided a clear responds to what it will take to get it done. Price was fair market value. Will use the for my next project. He completed the job promptly and did it very well.
Jonathan and Nathan were professional, thorough, knowledgeable and competent, as well as timely and clear at communication. What more could I want? Thanks for your help.
John did an excellent job and was a pleasure to work with.
Jonathan was awesome. I called to have someone dispatched and he was here in 30 minutes. He was very knowledgeable and provided great customer service. I will call Dawson for all of my electrical needs
Jonathan was on time, his estimates were good, they worked efficiently and cleaned up the job site afterwards... I could not have asked for a better experience.
After moving into our house a year ago we finally made two improvements we had been meaning to do along thanks to Jonathan and Micah from Dawson’s Electric! We now have a beautiful hanging light in the stairwell to replace the standard one that came with the house. Jonathan also did a panel check and a smoke detector check. We knew our smoke detectors had run the course of their allowable lifetime but hadn’t made the call to have them replaced. Thanks to Jonathan we now have five new smoke and carbon detectors that are up to code. So nice to check both of these projects off the list!! Thank you! From call to job completion the entire Dawson’s team have been fantastic. Love the alerts and prompt service and reliability! Thank you all!
Jonathan resolved two issues for me, one of which was difficult to diagnose. He was very persistent and resolved it more than satisfactorily. I will certainly higher Dawson’s again!
Great service, friendly staff
