Reviews
What customers say
Customers praise the crew’s professional manner; one customer also found them friendly and easy to work with. The team returned with new conduit to get a dead outdoor lamp post working after it could not be reached on the first visit. In a separate late-Sunday emergency, electrical-box parts were replaced and light and heat were restored after a power loss.
Customer Reviews
Amanda
After needing an emergency fix late on a cold winter's Sunday, Goodnow came to the rescue! With no power and dark approaching we called around and couldn't find any place that could help get things going before the following day. When we gave Goodnow a call, Bret had one of his guys come over and help us out. David came over, checked things out, replaced some parts in our electrical box and we had light (and heat!!!) back again! While we only found Goodnow after we were turned away by others, we felt very happy that they all said no. Otherwise, we wouldn't have found Goodnow and their team. We have a number of electrical projects we need to get done and we will be calling Goodnow Electric for all of them! So kind, helpful and a real life saver during emergencies!
Chris Cantara
Absolutely a fantastic experience!!! Had a complicated request for them and they didn’t even flinch to do the project!! Employees were on time, polite and engaged. I’m retired but wish I had had employees like Brett’s when I was in business!!!
Thanks to all!!
Draven Walker
Brett and team did a great job installing some lights, switches and outlets in our home. Brett’s team was professional and worked with me to figure out the best locations, size, and number of lights to install in our home. They go above and beyond to make sure the customer is happy. I had a dead outdoor lamp post that I wanted fixed but told them not to worry about it unless they had time. They weren’t able to get to it the day of. So, they came back, ran new conduit, and got the light working! They were also very fair on the cost. Great company.
