Sam Tee says, "Highly recommend for local residential work, needed them for a super small job. It was as not as cheap as diy.. BUT if you have not put in the time to study/practice electrical safety and work with home wiring please call a friggin electrician. Even if it's a 10min job for the guy.. you can learn something for next time just by watching/talking to them. They get paid a fair wage (although it will feel like a nutty premium for a <30min job, more on that below) and in exchange you get quality parts + work and peace of mind! Ok so for the invoice on this particular job, it was a 15min job at most, if I were to go back I'd ask the contractor to try and breakdown the provided quote (parts, labor, etc). Especially for a quick job. Might just be a flat rate minimum or something plus materials. You might be able to figure out how much of a cut the company is getting vs the actual contractor. Not a big deal, just interested in people getting fair wages and the type of setup a company has with its contractors. Guy showed up on time, they text you when they're otw. I think he's been with them for like 4-7 years or something.TLDR: I'm happy with the service and work."See more

Thompson J. says, "My wife summed it up nicely: "Kas (Mr. Kasimili Leha) is a very smart & considerate man." This is how my wife described him and believe me, she is not easily impressed. Kas traced my main problem to a wire connection inside the main electrical panel in the garage. He figured this out pretty quick. He also took time to explain to my wife how to determine which kitchen appliances she could run at the same time without blowing a fuse. What a nice guy! I've worked with five electricians over the last 20 years. I would say Kas is the most talented and friendly of all of them. His prices are reasonable. Tell him what you need and he's quick to provide a quote with the time it would take to complete the task. He's going to be my "go to" electrician from this point forward :-)"See more

Jim M. says, "I reached out to Dynamic Cabling as a result of my inquiry with your posting service. Edison was the first to respond to my request and worked in a timely manner to clearly understand my needs. He really did his homework upfront and provided a detailed, reasonable estimate within a couple of days and the work was scheduled at a mutually convenient time . The issue involved wiring for the installation of a Verizon network extender in addition to the one I currently have to enhance cell phone coverage in my home. At the time we met, I hadn't had the opportunity to activate the unit with Verizon. When I did, I discovered that it was far more powerful than my current unit (full coverage throughout the house) and as a result, I rally didn't need two extenders so I cancelled the installation with Dynamic. Although this project was terminated, I strongly feel that I would have been very pleased with the end result. Edison's dedication to customer care, responsiveness and professionalism is a testament to his company and the caliber of those you recommend through your service. Should I experience the need for cable wiring in the future, I would hire Dynamic again in a heartbeat and will recommend Dynamic to others."See more

Stefan Zuckut says, "Roy is very responsive and knowledgeable relating to home networking and PCs. In one instance, he did a great job getting my new laptop going. It was very smooth for me as all functionality, bookmarks, and files were transferred by Roy. In another instance, he bridged out ATT router (which is weak) and connected our old Linksys router. So now we use ATT fibre with our Linksys router, which worked very well for us when we had Comcast. Roy is also very good at providing additional advice and insight relating to our home computing operations (we have 4 family members which may be simultaneously using the internet heavily, especially during the work day). Last but not least, Roy's rates are very reasonable."See more
