Reviews of local pros in Chehalis, Washington

I recently used Travers for an electrical issue I was having at my rental house. They told me that the issue was rats eating through the wires and that they would have to open up the drywall and rewire the whole house. They said it was a hazard as well. They also shared with my tenant that is was a hazard and that the house could catch on fire at any time. After the tenant heard that he did not feel safe and moved out a month early. Traver's suggested I get the rat problem fixed first and then have the wiring done. I hired a company to seal all areas in the crawl space and attic ($1,755). My loss on rent was $600. I then convinced an electrician that I have used on multiple jobs to take a look and give me his opinion. He said the electrician that Travers sent had not idea what he was talking about. There ended up being a wire that wasn't connected to the breaker panel. Once that wire was traced and secured the heaters worked with no problem. Some additional cleanup was done with separating circuits and I was good to go. I asked my electrician multiple times if there was ever a hazard and he assured me that there was not.

Turns out the electrician from Travers was an apprentice. I am now out $2,350 just between the loss on rent and the clean up for the rats that were supposedly chewing through the wires. I called and spoke with the manager and asked what they were going to do to rectify this. The manager talked with the owner and they said they would not charge me for the service call. Are you kidding me?

Travers installed an electrical panel for new service. Despite COVID and a busy time of year, they did a good job of responding as the work progressed waiting on PUD (who also did a good job). At a time when all other electricians either didn't return calls at all or turned down the work because they were too busy, Travers made room for me. Grateful!

I like that Travers has a process and you aren’t just talking to someone who is too busy and putting you off. You call and talk to Sam and he gets you on the schedule and an electrician comes out. Had a job that was out in Shelton and Travers was able to get it done after calling many electricians. Really appreciate Travers and have used them multiple times.

We reached out to our community to find out who the best electrician was in our area and Travers kept coming up. They came out and were ready to work the same day of the appointment. They gave us a quote, did exactly what they said they were going to do, they did it in the timeframe that they gave us, and the bill was exactly what we were told it would be. Very impressed.

So happy that I called! They were able to fit me in for an appointment within the week of calling to install a ceiling fan mount in my master bedroom. Technician showed up on time, very friendly and polite (even with my crazy kids running around). Had the new mount secured, fan installed, and even fixed a wonky socket in my kitchen light all in an hour. Definitely will recommend them to anyone who asks :)

I had the complete opposite experience with Travers. I called in an urgent need to clean up my wiring issues (some of which were as serious as a possible fire hazard in our upstairs crawl space) just before a looming appraisal date and I was assigned Joe. He was very efficient. Did an excellent estimate (which the end price did not change from original quote) and came out the next day, with an apprentice, and they both worked tirelessly and quickly all day and cleaned up their mess very well. 2 of the nicest guys. Super professional! I'm totally happy with everything they did and my price was very reasonable. I still need more work done and I would use them again.

Travers Electric put in 4 full days of work at my home, I had a very long list of upgrades. They came up with creative solutions, steered me away from high-expense but low-payoff items, and were great to work with. On time, under budget, cheerful, outstanding.

They do great work, but their customer service was absolutely terrible. The did a panel replacement for my home, did great job so I ignored the broken promises about an estimate at the time, took me 3 times contacting to get an estimate for the job. Once on the schedule, everything was good. Since they did a good job I contacted them again for new work on my new home. Person who answers the phone is great, not a problem there. Estimator told me several times that he would get the estimate to me. The last conversation he told me he "fast track it" and get it to me, a month later and still no estimate. Unfortunately I will not contact them again for future work, just too unreliable...

I called Travers because part of my electricity in my house went out they were so quick to send someone out to assess the situation. Then within a week they sent a second person out to complete all the repairs. They were reasonable with their price for the scope of work done and I now have electricity back!! Their workers were so courteous and professional. I highly recommend Travers for your electrical needs!!

Thank you for your quick and excellent service. I needed 2 fixtures replaced you shopped ad installed said fixtures. Excellent results and at a reasonable price. Good people. I definatly would call you again and reccomend you.

I have used Travers twice to assist with transporting heavy equipment between locations. Both times the communication and timeliness has been on par with the professionalism I expect when on tight timelines to accomplish tasks.

We’ve called on Travers twice in the past two years. Both times they came out quickly and Nathaniel was very professional and courteous. Each time he was able to find the problem quickly and was in and out. We’ll definitely be calling them again for any electrical problems. Thanks Travers.

Hired an electrician from Mossyrock to wire my gutted house for a ridiculous price, and had many problems. He wouldn't return to fix any of it. Called Travers, they had me an estimate in a day and got me scheduled in a week. Fixed every detail, and now running about eight months without a single problem. Very pleasant crew.

They are the best! In the past, had the then add (6) 120V receptacles, and (2) 220v 30amp and 50amp plugs for compressors and welders in my shop. Just this week had a 220v plug added to my house garage to run a small compressor. They are fast, professional, and very reasonable!

Joe and the guys did a great job wiring up new 240 for our spa. Then, when the new line had a faulty breaker, Joe had a guy out in 15 minutes to fix. Took another 30 to get replacement, but now the spa is doing exactly what its supposed to do. Great work and great service all around

Travers Electric Inc. deserves a raise; for their time, and patience with understanding, me.
Groovy blessings to all of you; and to all of your households.

Many thanks to Joe and the crew. I have used this company on a few occasions now, big and small jobs, and they always deliver. It is easy to get on the schedule, and when the electricians show up they are on time, always pleasant, efficient, prepared for the job and I've never had a problem with any of their work. Other companies-- not so much.

I have always used Travers, and loved the employees. Recently, I had a job which required placing 2 dome lights in my entry way. My electrician, Nathaniel, was not pleased that I had the correct braces or ordered my lights on Amazon. He needed to make 2 trips into town to get the appropriate equipment to hang these lights. He had such a bad attitude about this, plus told me to never order lights online. Apparently, the screws needed to be changed and the lights were more challenging . I really felt uncomfortable, since he informed me that buying light fixtures online is not a good idea. I really felt uncomfortable since he needed to make 2 trips to town to get the correct connections, which they charged me for. He really made me feel uncomfortable, just because I ordered my light fixtures from Amazon and didn't have the right set up...which is something I didn't know. They charged me alot!!! I understand, but don't appreciate the attitude, he was not cordial, seemed very inconvenienced for this job. Yes, it was Friday and you had to work a little harder than expected, but be professional and do the job without making the customer feeling horrible.
