Reviews of local pros in Sheffield, Ohio

I had wires ripped from my house by a fallen tree. GCS did a wonderful job getting permits and inspections. They had to come out several times due to ongoing issues. I'm so grateful for all of their help.

GCS installed a Generac generator at our house in Grafton Twp. GCS did a great job for a great price! Pat, Jim and Dan did a very professional job. The work inside and outside was done in one day. The Generac generator works perfect.
The office staff was just as professional and did a great job!
Great company! Will highly recommend them for Generacs and any other electrical job!

My 84 year old mothers power went out and the temperature outside was over 90 degrees, so the air went out also. My sister, who has cancer, lives with my mother. We called several electricians for an emergency repair. GCS was the only one that had a tech at the house within an hour and diagnosed the problem. I heartily recommend GCS if you need an electrician. They were fantastic.

It’s always a little nerve wracking finding a new electrician after moving to a new area. Jim came out with his apprentice and was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I will be recommending these guys to family and friends and they have earned themselves a repeat customer. Thanks again guys!

I had a great experience with this company. My next-door neighbor had recommended them to me, and I'm glad they did. Pat found the leak going out to my post-light and repaired it quickly and at a very reasonable cost. Thanks again, Pat!

My wife and I hired GCS on two separate occasions and their electricians are great! Anthony in particular is very knowledgeable and experienced.

Their guys ran wiring to a switch in two bedrooms and installed and a ceiling fan and light fixture during the first job a couple of years ago. Most recently, we hired them to replace two ceiling fans, 3 outdoor lights, 1 outlet, and hook up a transfer switch for our backup generator. Everything was completely quickly and efficiently and the electricians were friendly and professional! Pat is the owner and is very nice to talk to on the phone, as is Kathy, the office manager! Calls and emails are returned promptly and pricing is very reasonable compared to other quotes we received.

We'll definitely continue using GCS for any electrical work and refer our friends and family as well! Keep up the good work, guys!

I was very pleased with the service that GCS provided. They were extremely diligent in keeping me in the loop with text messages as they worked to coordinate with the city and power company in order to complete the job. Their crew was extremely friendly, professional and great representatives of the company. I would highly recommend them.

I used GCS when "refreshing" an investment condo and they were one of the best contractors to deal with, and I contacted a LOT of contractors! Electrical issues are always my first priority and they proved to be responsive, flexible in scheduling, and efficient! I highly recommend this company and they'll be my "go to" for any future electrical needs.

I have used GCS Electric a number of times. The electricians are always on time. They take care of the electrical problems quickly. I will be using them again in the near future.

The GCS technicians did a great job installing our EV charger. Clean, quick and excellent installation. I would definitely use GCS again.

GCS did a wonderful job relocating a 20' chandelier in our new home. They arrived promptly, were very efficient and did a meticulous job with cleanup. Highly recommend!

So many great things to say about this company. From the first call they were honest and upfront with their trip charges and coordination. They gave me kind of a range of dates they may be able to come out and were able to squeeze me in super quickly. They fixed an outlet and taught us about a quirk in our electrical panel we weren't aware of. They were super personable and my wife was very comfortable with them in our home. I will definitely use them again.

I hired GCS to install 2 new fans in my home. The staff was so friendly. The turn around time was excellent. They took the time out to make sure it looked perfect . The best part was the price was better than I expected. I will definitely use them in the future.

Called them to run lines and install sconces at my business and they were able to come out same day. They finished quickly and cleaned everything up. Excellent work! I highly recommend them!

Had a small mishap with the electric line pulled away from our house and GCS Electric came right away, helping us and our neighbor. Rob fixed the electric connection and get our home back in full operation in just a few hours. I felt so fortunate. Rob and his assistant were very helpful and easy to talk to. It made my day!

I was so excited to pull into the office this morning and see that the lights came on and that the timer worked! ROB was my electrician and he was awesome! He was efficient and very knowledgeable. He did an in depth evaluation of our electrical system and then advised me of the best ways to address them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Two days later, my new light fixtures arrived, and NATE installed them. He was just as amazing if not even better. I am so pleased with the depth of skills of the electricians associated with GCS. Again, Highly recommend.

GCS helped with the electric while finishing our basement. They communicated well and were very timely in addressing any questions and concerns throughout the job.

We had our house upgraded from knob & tube to romex; really appreciated the hard work and patience of Nate and Logan during this large and long project.

Contacted GCS to perform annual servicing and inspection of our backup power system after a well known other provider blew off 2 appointments. GCS had an estimate to me within 1 hour, and were on-site the next morning! Technicians were prompt, professional, and now everything is in great shape for surviving winter when the power goes off. We will only be calling GCS for our house projects now!

Be careful with this company if you have an older home, especially if you have plaster. I hired them for a whole house upgrade from knob & tube on the recommendation of another contractor. The owner said they had done several of these upgrades. GSA Electric struggled with the project and regularly left a mess during the month it took them to complete the project in a home less that 1600 square feet. What is even more concerning is the kitchen and bath weren’t even part of the project. Many of the wall holes for receptacles were broken out larger than a plate would cover requiring several plaster repairs. When I pointed this out to the owner, he simply said something to the effect that plaster is challenging. Many of the switches and outlets were installed too deep or not deep enough, and some light fixtures were loose or not completed.
The garage was included in the project. A wall stud was cut out to accommodate the panel rather than centering it between the studs. That was after the worker was told that the garage siding was going to be replaced. Oddly, he mounted the panel directly to the siding, resulting in extra work for those replacing the siding.
I finally told the workers to leave when one of them slide a heavy piece of furniture across the hardwood floor, damaging it. The owner said he would have someone repair it. That never happened.
When they came back to try to ‘make things right’ I wasn’t about to let them near my furniture or areas of the house they might damage, so I opted to leave some of the work the way it was and will hire a different contractor to fix it.
In my estimation, GCS took on a project that was far more complex than they were equipped for. They didn’t respect my property, didn’t clean up after they are done and, and in the end just wanted their check. They may do well with newer construction and projects they can knock out quickly but be careful if your project is more complex or involves an older home where greater care is needed to protect the property.
I validated my concerns with other contractors and friends before writing this review. I am very particular about how things are done but wanted to be as fair as possible.
In the end I paid them over $28K for sloppy work and disrespecting my home. I can only hope the work behind the walls isn’t as sloppy as the visible work. I would not use them again and would warn anyone that asks to think very carefully before hiring them.

Final word on this subject:

The response of this company owner is disconcerting. He addresses everything other than the core issue. The work was just plain sloppy. The pictures speak louder than words. There was poor decision making, poor communication, and there was a lack of understanding of how to treat my property.

Indeed, he has covered himself for these situations in the wording of the contract as he has made clear in his response to my review. That is why I paid the bill. There is no use fighting it.

I find it odd that after my complaint is posted there is suddenly a reduction in the bill that I didn’t give them an opportunity to provide me. One would think they would have made the adjustment before sending the final bill. It’s interesting that this is my fault. It’s interesting that it is my fault his workers moved furniture, when they ‘normally’ don’t. It interesting that it was my fault that I wasn’t sensitive to their need to handle service calls after a major storm, even though I told them I fully understood.

My assessment stands that I feel his workers did not exercise due diligence in the execution of this project, the project took far too long despite their need handle service calls, communication was lacking, and my property was not respected.

I will not engage in any further back and forth related to this as I have wasted enough time and need to move on.

Feel free to make your own judgement about this company.

GCS Electric were easy to work with! Amber made scheduling and invoicing a breeze! Nate, our technician, did a wonderful job. He respected our home and was extremely professional. Five stars sll around!
