Aaron

I’ve contacted Kato twice for some electrical work in my apartment and both times have been a great experience. This most recent time I had new ceiling lights, fan, and dimmer switches installed. It was completed in a timely manner from the initial quote to the service date. Andrew was great. Professional and good communication.

Kato attended residence for estimate. Provided written quote. We asked for some additional details and were promptly provided clarification in writing. Accepted proposal and was able to select a short turnaround for the work to be completed. Electrician was punctual on date of appointment and installed the electrical equipment needed. Site was left clean and debris free. From the beginning of the process to completion of work I was very satisfied. We had other electrical companies provide quotes however, Kato was the most prompt, clear and professional of the group. Based on our experience with Kato, would recommend for residential electrical projects and will call them again if future work is needed.

Kato New Westminster is responsive and communicates well. They arrive when they say they will. They work with you to define the work and they discuss pros and cons before finalizing the work and the invoice. Pricing is fair for the value of the job. I have been very pleased with their professionalism and the quality of their work.

We highly recommend Kato Electrical and Jonathan has been just excellent on a basement renovation project. He was always on-time, worked extremely well with a couple other trades on the job and his work was super quick, efficient and always tidy and offered ideas and inputs on elec. and lighting to make the end result just fantastic. Thanks for the great work!

I needed help with replacing a switch with an outlet in Vancouver and quickly found that not all contractors want to take small, simple jobs like that. Timothy from KATO Electrical came in and quickly identified what the issues were and rectified them. Fast and efficient.
