Phil with Black Dog Electric was prompt, friendly, and provided high quality work. He installed an extension to an outdoor outlet, changed out a chandelier, and replaced 2 outdoor light fixtures. He showed up at the scheduled time and cleaned up the work areas. Would use this company again.

Details: Outlets • Lights • 8 - 10 feet (standard ceiling) • House

Black Dog Electric was awesome! We have had a couple of electrians out to our older home that has needed electrical updates and other projects. Black Dog pricing was competitive, if not less, than other companies. They we fast and CLEAN and do fantastic work. My husband and I are very happy and will be hiring them again.

Details: Yes, there is existing wiring • Install switch or outlet • Replace switch or outlet • 5 switches or outlets • Rooms without water access, like a bedroom • Plaster • House

Phil and Ryan did an excellent job of a few minor electrical repairs plus installation of a ceiling fan. Five Stars for Black Dog, and I will definitely use them again

Really appreciated the quick response time to my initial inquiry, and the follow up after suggesting I check with the electric company first before paying for an electrician. Used their own foot covers to protect my floors from the snow/salt outside, and no pressure to upsell when informing me of other work we'll need done in the future (but isn't an immediate need).

Details: Inconsistent power • Lights • 8 - 10 feet (standard ceiling) • House
