John C. says, "I posted on thumbtack to fix two light switches and install an outlet. Kevin was very responsive at first. He called within 15 mins of posting and offered to give me a free quote. The price was reasonable and he attempted to perform the work on the same day. However, he identified that one of the light fixture broke and suggested me to order a replacement. He would then come back to install it. However, when the light fixture arrived, I texted him. He promised to come on Thursday and then he never replied to me that day. I then followed up on Monday since Friday was a holiday. He replied me text in the morning and promised to come. I texted him a few times to ask for eta. He didn’t show up again and He texted me at 5:30 that he wasn’t able to make it. He offered to come on Wednesday and I agreed (because I already paid!). On Wednesday (today), I texted him multiple times to try to get an estimates but he did not reply texts or phone calls. I can’t wait for him at home everyday and just hope that he will show up. Update: he was sick that week and was able to perform the work on Thursday. His work was attentive. I gave him inaccurate information about existing electric line so he wasn’t able to perform the installation. He was patient and offered to come back without additional charge."See more

Cindy S. says, "I can’t say enough good things about Osman and the work he did at my house. I was looking to do a bathroom refresh but it was more involved for most people to take on all the work as it involved some demolition, tiling, woodwork, plumbing and installation. Osman came with all the right equipment/tools and his workmanship was impressive. He’s not only talented in all these areas but he’s extremely professional, hardworking and reliable. He offered great solutions and asked all the right questions to make sure the final product was what I was looking for. I’m completely happy with how my bathroom turned out and am planning to hire Osman again for more work."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Do electricians do free estimates?

Yes, they do. Whether you’re looking for new electrical work or wiring repair, the electrician should offer you a free estimate. 

Go online to find the best electricians near you. After researching and finding a few pros who seem qualified for your job, go ahead and request a quote to find out how much those electricians will charge you.

How do I hire an electrician?

Go online to find a list of the best electricians in your area. View each individual electrician’s profile and learn more about their services and expertise. Then, read reviews from satisfied customers as well as any issues they may have encountered. This will help you find one with the right experience to work safely in your home.

You should also spend some time researching what qualifications and credentials they have. You might find information about their license on their profile, or you might need to check your local and state government’s website to verify their license. 

Once you’ve done a bit of research, ask to receive free estimates from several electricians in your area. Ultimately, hire the most qualified electrician who can complete your project at a reasonable price.

Is it worth it to hire an electrician?

Electrical work can be very dangerous. The pros spend many years working and studying before they become licensed and certified. That knowledge and training can help them work safely and perform the job without harming themselves or your home. 

Even a small wiring repair job can be unsafe if not done correctly. Hiring someone that has specialized training on how to do each specific job is the safest choice.
