We needed two outdoor outlets and a smoke alarm installed, and Steve did an excellent job. He arrived on time, charged a fair price, and completed the work to a very high standard. I would highly recommend both Steve and this company.
Needed a new light fixture hung in our front foyer, and most importantly needed a 20 foot or more ladder. William and Ricky with Bretco came out and had light fixture installed and old one taken down in less than 1 hour. Could not have done this myself. I've never seen a bigger ladder!! Very pleased with Bretco.
My experience with Bretco Electric was good ?? ??. They were on time, and super knowledgeable. The two gentlemen worked so well together. They kept inform on how things were going.If you need some Electric work ,GO BRETCO ELECTRIC.
If you need electrical work done, Call Bretco Electric! These folks fixed my electrical outlets, overhead fans & installed my automatic carport lights!! So pleased with their work. Very reasonable price!!
I don't recommend this company if you would like to try to budget or have any idea knowing what you will pay for a service. I had Bretco out to install 1 outlet and some other work. I tried to get a price. Was told that I could tell them my budget and they would stay near/around it, so I made the appointment. When tech arrived, he said he couldn't do that. I called the office again, she reassured me she would relay my budget to the tech. They also told me the price was $140/hr for 2 people (an electrician and assistant). Only one person showed up but I was charged $140/hr including 1 hour of drive time (even though they are 15 min away). I had them out previously and while expensive, the techs were great and the work was professional. Again the tech was great, and I'm sure the work is professional but all in all they weren't willing to make the poor communication right and stick to my budget. The final bill for ONE outlet was 506.65. When I went back and forth with them they gave me a senior discount. So I paid $470 for one outlet.
