Rico and Mariano came to install two pendant lights in my ceiling. We talked through two options and settled on a ceiling cover with existing light box in place instead of more holes in the ceiling and beams and someone patching the ceiling. They were on time, efficient, helped get them level and adjusted to the height I wanted. They also put them on a dimmer. They cleaned up afterward. I thought they were great. Max Electrical was also responsive to my inquiry and I had a quote in days. I will call them back for other electrical work.

Our insurance requested we replace outdated electrical panels in the basement and Max Electric clearly has done many replacement jobs and is familiar with this request (they even handed us a printed brochure outlining EXACTLY what we needed as a service they cover). Work seemed professional, everyone we interfaced with was responsive and great at answering questions, explaining what needed to be done, and was polite and friendly. Our only complaint is that there were a few blips in communication around what time the technicians were arriving and what exactly they had left to do. Other than that, it was smooth sailing. Would recommend Max Electric!

I found Max Electric online so I know positive reviews have an impact. I was renovating a home to put on the market, that turned put to be an eight-month project due to my decision to do a full-on renovation maybe two months in. Max’s job was to upgrade the home electrical systems to current compliance from 1950’s era knob and tubes. Also, to install new fixtures due to the renovation. I interviewed three electrical contractors. I went with Max as he had a detailed estimate and was matter of fact and accommodating to any questions. He was also the most realistic about the work involved. I understood what was going on. Max and his team are professionals and genuinely nice people. We passed inspections with no issues and budget to actual was accurate. I highly recommend Max Electric. The house was listed and sold under a week above list price. Max’s work was a big factor. Thanks Max Electric.
