Lamont H. says, "Dealing with a contractor can be very intimidating. Especially if your like me and you know nothing but the difference between a Philips and a flat head screw driver. Rick and his team rescued me from a nightmare situation! I hired a “family friend” to do a bath room renovation… 6k later the “family friend” took my money and ran off and left me with a non functioning bathroom!!! My wife and I took to the internet and decided to do some thorough research to find the right guy for the job. We landed on Castro builders as the work and reviews speak for themselves. I got in contact with Rick and he was very honest and upfront about the situation I was in and what it would take to get out. Rick not only was a saving grace but he also educated me on how to handle situations like this in the future. Rick stopped by my house to take a look at the job. The next day I received a detailed quote and a timeline which I accepted. This is where the magic truly happened as thorough the remainder of the process Rick kept me well informed and involved with everything. The timelines he gave were tight and he gave me, the customer, money control. Contractors will say parts cost a certain amount and ask for it up front. Rick was sure to give receipts every step of the way and was even finding innovative ways to save me money. My bathroom is coming along fantastic and while rick and his team are working they are strictly business at the same time their customer service is A-1! My mother and grandfather keep raving about his patience which means a whole lot especially since we just got out of a horrific situation. We could not be happier with our new bathroom and my only regret is that I didn’t find him sooner!!! If you have a project that requires a contractor’s skill set well look no further Rick is your guy."See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What do I need an electrician for?

Electricians can help with a variety of electricity-related jobs around your home. If you have a new home, they can install new wiring throughout. Or if you have an old home, they can help with wiring repair. 

If your lights keep flickering, circuit breakers seem to be faulty, or outlets don’t have any power, electricians can assist in sorting out the problem. Your house is full of electrical circuits, wiring and sockets that may need repair or updating. These tasks can be safely completed by electricians in your area.

How much does a licensed electrician cost per hour?

An electrician’s average hourly rate is $75, but this price can range from $45-$120, depending on the complexity of the job and the materials needed. The total cost will also vary depending on how long your job takes and if the electrician charges for travel time.

Your location may also be a factor in determining the hourly rate of performing electrical work on your home. To get an accurate estimate of how much electrical work will cost you, contact the best electricians near you to receive free quotes.

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?

Yes, it's usually worth it to hire an electrician instead of doing the work yourself.

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.

What questions should I ask an electrician?

Here are a few questions you should ask any electrician you’re considering hiring:

  • Are you licensed or certified? A professional electrician should have this information ready and up to date. 
  • Do you have any references? Ask for references to learn about their work history from previous customers. You may be able to look online at reviews, but it’s also good to speak to someone to find out their experience with this electrician. 
  • What types of services do you offer? Whether you need repairs or installation services, make sure the electrician can perform the work you need.
  • How long will the job take? This will help you set expectations and rearrange your schedule (if needed).
  • Can you send me free estimates? Request a job quote or estimate. This will help with comparing different electricians. The numbers may vary, but be sure to factor in the experience of each person, as well as the scope of electrical work you’re asking about.

Reviews for Chester electricians
Tamica J.
Taquean and his partner were very very professional, prompt, and cleaned up the wiring that the builders of my house, T.J. Properties, did not complete. Taquean and his partner installed a GCIF socket and connected the wires back to the socket that were not connected. I am so excited because they were prompt to respond to inspect the job and completed the task the same day with a better GCIF socket! I will be hiring them for more electrical work in my home in the next couple of days and in the future! Their price was reasonable and their work quality was exceptional and professional!!! Please Hire This Team of Electricians!!! Beware of T.J. Properties!!!
