Reviews

What customers say

Customers praise Brennan’s accessibility and the team’s willingness to explain project decisions. One customer also appreciated candid pricing and said Coffey did not try to sell a generator beyond the home's power needs; that customer said the team talked them through generator troubleshooting by phone. Another customer said Coffey sent a technician within a few hours after a contractor nicked a wire and got things running safely again.

Customer Reviews

Coffey employs the best people. I recently had surgery, and I have not yet been cleared for any exertion. Our sidewalk had not been cleared yet, so when they pulled up, I started to shovel the walk leading to where the generator is. Azadeen (not sure of the spelling of his name) was aware of my surgery and took the shovel from me and proceeded to finish the job for me. What a blessing that was. He is truly a kind and considerate person.

In a world where so many contractors are seeking to rob and defraud clients, dealing with Brennan and his team was absolutely a Godsend. I recently took on a full gut project in Troy and from the onset to completion Brennan and his team were the absolute best. They took there time to understand what I was trying to accomplish and came up with an affordable game plan that was perfect for me. The team did a great job and Brennan was very accessible whenever I had questions. He was even kind enough to answer some questions that pertained to a project that he was not being paid for. I truly appreciate Brennan and his team. I only wish that all contractors were as trustworthy and reliable.

Toni Riggi

I hired Coffey Electric in May to do the electric work at my wine bar in Downtown Schenectady, The space we renovated was formerly a hair salon and we had a fair amount of changes that needed to be made. These included the addition of a security system, outdoor lighting, a speaker system, and of course additional outlets. As someone with no prior construction experience, it was important that I found a team of professionals who were willing to answer all of my questions, and take their time to thoroughly explain the reasoning behind each decision that was made. Carlos and Brennan were transparent and honest when explaining the scope of the work. They took their time and most importantly are well versed in the NYS Code requirements. They have a good relationship with the City of Schenectady which was valuable when it came to ensuring inspections were completed in a timely manner.
