Electrical Rewire

Excellent5.0 Based on 63 reviews from review us onChris GriffithChris Griffith ★★★★★ We had a great experience with Dollens Electric—they helped us replace old wiring, install new outlets, and install bathroom fans in our home (including adding the vents through the roof). They were very personable and easy to talk to, and it was easy to see that they put a lot of care into their work. We're looking forward to working with them again soon!Matthew McCormickMatthew McCormick ★★★★★ This is the second time we've used Dollens, first being when they upgraded the wiring to the entire house. This time they installed an isolated circuit in our garage and some can lighting. Even though it was a smaller job, they treated it just as importantly as the bigger job.They answered all our questions, let us know and talk through our options and didn't do any additional work without letting us know and approve the price difference for our requests, rather than telling us at the end of the job.A+ work!Response from the ownerThanks Mathew. You and your wife were great to work for. I still want to steal your dog! js_loader
