Reviews of local pros in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey

Good, honest Guys. Fair price , hard-working , knowledgeable, trustworthy

Please avoid. They don't have time and patience for complex issues. Their agenda is to come in, do simple stuff, charge service call fee of $150 and defer any complex troubleshooting (citing appointments, busy period etc.). Of the 2 people, I saw one writing up the invoice even before the main electrician finished unscrewing the switch!

I called Chris on Friday and he came the next Thursday with is son, Chris- makes it easy to remember, and a helper. I wanted to install Alexa dimmers switches. The wiring is 80 years old. They had a difficult time but the three of them persevered for a few hours and finally got it going.!! Really good clean up and nice people. I highly recommend Chris. Thank you.

Chris and his team were excellent. They were on time, professional, and clean. I have dealt with many contractors and they are by far one of the best. I would not hesitate to recommend MEC for any electrical needs!

MEC Upgraded the service from 100 to 200amp the Crew arrived on time, finished the job in 1 day, Everyone on Crew was very nice and neat and left the house cleaner than when they started. The Crew discovered some old knob and tube wiring that I was not aware of and replaced it as well. I sleep much better knowing it was all replaced. They were knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend their services.

Absolutely amazing professional and courteous!

Update:

I always tell people having a good customer service experience is ideal. But you really don't know what a company is worth until things go wrong. We had an issue that was no fault of MECs, but they were quick to help us in rectifying it.

You cannot find better service than MEC!

I had electrical problems after I had my house powerwashed. My doorbell and 3 other lights inside my house stopped working. I called like 15 electricians. The ones I was able to speak with on the phone said they don't know why that happened and said it will be $180 or $200 to check it out and it will NOT be applied to the cost if I need a repair. When I spoke to David at M.E.C. he was super nice and said his visit cost WILL be applied to the repair if needed. Then he proceeded to speak to me for like 20 minutes. (The other ones spoke for just a minute). He was very knowledgeable and asked if the power wash guys covered the electrical stuff before doing work. They didnt. He said they were supposed to. Then he explained i can just check out the fuse box myself and explained what to look for and what to do. I fixed the problem myself and didnt need a visit! I am very grateful for David and am happy to know there are nice, honest and helpful people out there that actually care!! Thanks David!!

MEC Electrical is spectacular. We had a list of about 7 projects in a very old house and every one was completed flawlessly. Very professional team and they even vacuumed where they drilled. We plan on using them again and again and again. The owner Chris even came by to walk the job!!!

We had a Lightning Ground Strike somewhere close enough to get into the house thru the sprinkler system
Chris and his crew came over on a Sunday Morning and did a thorough safety check to make sure we were not in danger
They determined exactly what was taken out and made the appropriate repairs that updated and modernized some of our stuff. We have used them since and we highly recommend them. Very fair prices, superior work, Professional, and client friendly, and done when they say it will be done.

I’ve called MEC three times, once in an emergency, and the other two for installation services. They were prompt, neat and professional with reasonable pricing. As a homeowner, it’s comforting to have a reliable go- to electrician service like MEC.

Highly recommend MEC Electrical. They recently completed a service upgrade at my home, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The team was prompt, professional, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process.

Dave was always reachable and consistently clear in his communication, which made the entire project feel well-organized and stress-free.

On the work side, Harry and Chris (senior) spent the most time on-site and worked tirelessly to get everything done correctly. Harry put in long hours and barely took breaks, staying focused on finishing the work properly rather than rushing through it. Chris senior showed great attention to detail and went above and beyond by patching drywall that had to be removed, which significantly reduced the amount of repair work I needed to do afterward.

Chris (junior) also did excellent work on day one and was a key part of getting the project off to a strong start. The entire team was thoughtful in making minimally invasive decisions and took the extra time to clean up thoroughly after the work was completed, which showed a lot of care and respect for my home.

It’s rare to find an electrical company that combines strong communication, technical expertise, and this level of professionalism. MEC Electrical delivered on all fronts, and I would absolutely use them again.

Daniel was a true professional- came to our house on time, was considerate and most importantly, he was extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything and was very honest with his assessment and recommendations. Would definitely use Daniel again.

Totally will recommend Brute Contracting! I had a sewer back up and I called Brute on a Sunday, a little frantic. Dan called me back in a short amount of time and told me exactly what I needed to do and who I needed to call first. He helped me find someone who could come out and clear the line. After the sewer backed up a second time we decided to install a sewer clean out. Dan had his guys here in a day and within a couple of hours installed the clean out. His team was fast and efficient and he was reasonably priced! More than anything Dan is a stand up guy who never made me feel like he was just trying to make a dollar off me. He took the time to explain my issue and how we can resolve it without immediately suggesting ripping up my yard to replace my sewer line. Thanks Dan for your professionalism. Great Waldwick business!

Daniel was amazing. Prompt professional and communicated everything clearly. Brute replaced our Sewer and water lines today. His team did a great job
And left everything in great shape. I highly recommend Brute!!

Highly Recommended!! A Sewer line clog issue is very stressful situation. Dan from Brute Contracting came out to do an estimate on needed repairs after another company quoted a very high number and I was struggling every quarter/six months paying high prices for clogging emergencies. Dan reviewed and suggested much more modest immediate repairs and is doing further review before recommending full replacement of the sewer lines.

Dan was clearly very honest, knowledgeable & professional and primarily interested in finding a solution for me.He explained about the issue so well.
The appointment was easy to set up and schedule, knowing of the emergency. Dan & team was right on time, super friendly, honest, and respectful.
Thank You Dan and Team!
Great Service!Affordable, can’t beat the price! Super efficient! Again THANK YOU BRUTE CONTRACTING!

BRUTE Contracting handled our sewer line replacement (necessary to repair our damaged sewer line achieve proper pitch), which included excavating our property to remove the broken sewer line and opening the road to tie into the sewer main.
Dan and Uri, the owners, were great! My first meeting with Dan to assess and document the damage, and Dan working with our insurance company was seamless. Uri was on-site during the entire project, and his team was professional and a pleasure to work.
I highly recommend utilizing their company!

We’ve had a really good experience with Brute. We found them randomly on Google and the reviews were amazing so we thought to give them a call and we’re so glad we did. The staff was professional, the job was done quickly with minimum interference. Daniel was super responsive and their price beat the competitors. We did an underground pipe replacement.

Hands down the best decision I’ve ever made! Brute was spot on with their pricing. They prioritized starting the job in a timely manner and their work was flawless. They have mastered the art of replacing service lines while keeping the property looking almost exactly the way it did before. I was told that my garden would have to be ripped up by another contractor and Brute was able to go underneath it! Truly was a pleasure to watch them work. I would use them again in a heart beat!

Spoke with Uri, Dan & Abby from Brute Contracting regarding replacement of my lead water line. What wonderful people & experience! Professional, pleasant & equally important, they new what they were doing & talking about. Answered all my questions & assured me they would handle everything & they did.

Job couldn’t have gone smoother. I would not hesitate to recommend them or call them for any other work I needed.

Really a great experience!

Highly Recommend!!! I called Brute for a second opinion after being told I needed to replace my sewer line. Daniel responded to my inquiry immediately and was at my house right after I got home from work. A true professional in EVERY sense of the word. He felt that there was a far less expensive solution to my problem and explained everything he was seeing in detail. He contacted a different company and explained my situation to them. Daniel didn't try to sell me a service I didn't need and he went out of his way to make sure my problem was taken care of. Honestly and integrity have become a rare commodity these days. I am recommending Brute to everyone I know and will definitely use them if the need arises.

Very happy with the service by Brute Contracting! They did a great job fixing the leak in our water line caused by the gas company. From the moment we called them Dan, Uri and the team were prompt, professional and a pleasure to work with. Thank you Brute Contracting!
