What Our Customers Say
When was the last time you had an electrical contractor sweep up dust?
Since purchasing my house I have had occasion to use Raleigh Electric Company multiple times – everything from replacing a few gfi’s to reconfiguring from a pool to a patio with ambient lights and kitchen to trouble shooting several lighting fixtures. ALWAYS prompt, courteous, professional, thorough, and reasonably priced service. (When was the last time you had an electrical contractor sweep up dust and detritus after their job?!?). As a homeowner I feel very secure knowing that I can call on this company for top notch service.

(He was) very clear about the work he had done explaining things and showing photos.
I had a great experience with this company! Josh was friendly, very knowledgeable, and did great work. He was patient with my questions (including investigating something that wasn’t initially on our list). Josh was also very clear about the work he had done (explaining things and showing photos) and made sure everything was checked off our list before heading out. I’d recommend Josh and Raleigh Electric Company to anyone needing electrical work!

And arriving at a price (quote) that stays put.
Dealing with Brandon during the estimation phase of the project has always been easy, he is quite helpful when it comes to exploring various options for a project, and eventually arriving at a price that stays put.
The work done by the electricians has always been high quality. I haven’t had any problems or required any do-overs for anything, and am happy with the results. Ethan in particular has shown a lot of skill dealing with the various glitches common to any home improvement project. My photo of the recessed LED lights might not do them justice, it’s hard to capture the entire project, but I have to say that these replacements for old-fashioned can lighting look really great. The plug in my garage may not be glamorous, but it is just what I needed and is doing the job without any fuss. Raleigh Electric will be a great choice for your next project, I highly recommend them.
