Reviews of local pros in Olympia, Washington

I called Veterans Electric to get an estimate for the addition of a new outlet in my garage. I was given a tentative estimate over the phone and an appointment was set for the work to be done. Shawn showed up for work as promised, and I appreciated that he wore a mask and gloves for my protection. Shawn arrived in a truck that was fully equipped with materials and equipment so he was ready to work as soon as we agreed on the final estimate. He worked quickly and carefully and took special care to keep the workspace clean. I am a very satisfied customer and will definitely contact Veterans Electric the next time I need electrical work done. Highly recommend.

Had Mr. Shawn help me out with my problems at home and not only did he fix my issues, but he did it in a professional manner that was nothing less than outstanding! He was very knowledgeable and answered every question I had with high confidence. He took the time to answer the questions Barney style so someone like myself who knows nothing of electrical work can understand. He gave me several ideas and recommendations so if I have a problem again, it would save me time and money! I was impressed with how quickly he was available as well. I called in today, and came out 45 mins later… and was done in an hour! I’d highly recommend this gentlemen and this company!

We've had Sean do a couple of jobs for us - installing new lighting and replacing broken fixtures. He's on time, reasonably priced and provides excellent customer service. I highly recommend him for your electrical needs.

We had several indoor and outdoor outlets that needed and install and relocation. We got a next day quote and all the work was done at our next earliest convenience a few days later. Sean and his associate were professional and respectful of our home. They listened to our plans and gave several options and recommendations to make the install even better than we were expecting. Their work was clean and visually appealing. At the end of the job they cleaned up their workspaces and left the house in better shape than any contractor we have used previously.

Very happy with the work we had done today. Scheduling was quick and easy, and he was thoughtful enough when taking out our ancient baseboard heaters to clean up the hole left in the drywall to make it easier to patch. I will definitely call Veterans Electric next time I need work done.

Sean was absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable. He didn't try to upsell me on anything and explained all of the work he would need to do in a manner in which I could understand. I will definitly call him out the next time I need work done.

I highly recommend this business! I needed an electrician to install the proper outlet and underground electrical work for my new landscaping and water feature. After receiving bids from two other companies, I called Veterans Electric after seeing their van on my street. Emma was extremely pleasant on the phone and scheduled an appointment for Sean to come the following day for an estimate. Sean was on time, very knowledgeable and also gave me an estimate to install two floor outlets in my great room. His estimate was very fair for the work to be done and I hired him immediately. Sean was at my house this morning and took care of everything he promised. So pleased I went with this company!

Sean and Juan were amazing from the first phone call in professionalism and kindness. They reassured my husband and I that a previous negative experience we had with a different company, was not how they choose to do business. They explained cost needed to assess the issue. They had to travel a little further to get to us so there was a small travel fee as well (which was completely worth it). We were nervous as to what the diagnosis would be. There had been a couple of companies that suggested our issue could be an expensive fix (poss $1,000-$2200).
Sean and Juan arrived on time, happy, and ready to help us figure out the diagnosis. We had lost the ability to use some of our outlets, our heat, our stove and our dryer.
In the end, diagnosis and fixing the issue came to $289 total! I could not have asked for better, service. They treated us like family the whole time and helped us to understand what they were doing and why. I highly recommend them and will gladly use them again in the future, should the need arise.

Shawn came by to replace a broken light switch in our laundry room. Our property management company requested the service visit on Monday, and I got a call from Veteran’s the same day! They had next day availability but I had to push it out to Friday due to my work schedule.

They confirmed the appointment the day prior which always gives me peace of mind. Day of, he called to let me know when he was on his way, and was very friendly, professional, and thorough. He explained the process and was in and out in about 20 minutes. Highly recommend!

Sean came out to check one of our outlets to see if there was an issue. He was thorough, extremely affable, and transparent about the entirety of the process with both myself and my landlord. I recommend him if you need even a simple diagnostic. Thank you so much!

I was dreading having an electrician come out to my house because I kept thinking it was going to cost a bundle. I found Veterans Electric online and called them because they are veteran-owned. The entire experience was better than I could have hoped for. Emma is extremely friendly and explained the process thoroughly. My appointment was set at a very convenient time and within a few days. She called the day before to remind me of the appointment. Sean and his team (Juan and Justin) called before they arrived and arrived on time. Sean explained the problem I was experiencing and repaired it promptly. The price was EXTREMELY fair. If you want to deal with veterans that are true professionals, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Veterans Electric.

I was very pleased with the work done by Veterans Electric. Sean came out the same afternoon I called and did a thorough assessment of our blown fuse issue and in a short time identified and fixed the problem in multiple outlets. He is friendly and very focused on the task at hand. Sean's expertise could have prevented a serious electrical fire at our home.

I called to have a light installed under our home. We received an immediate callback to schedule a bid within 3 days. Sean came and gave a fair estimate and identified an unsafe electrical wiring problem in other areas. These areas were in an area that is off grid and out of sight. Sean and associate arrived on time and did a thorough, comprehensive job. He was open and complete in all costs associated with the job. It feels good to have a potential problem fixed, fire safety ensured and wiring up to code.

Today, Sean returned to replace my 6 smoke detectors to our home. He has a quiet, thoughtful demeanor that works well with someone with lots of questions. He was very concise in his answers and reasons why certain considerations were available. Sean found a quirk in one of the wiring sites of a detector and repaired it for installation of new detector.
I give a strong recommendation to Veterans Electric LLC.

Very professional, knowledgeable and detailed. They will always be our first choice for all electrical needs. thank you

We had Shawn come out yesterday to help fix a breaker problem, he was honest, upfront about pricing and worked quickly. We greatly appreciate his knowledge, experience and business model! It was very easy to schedule and I would highly recommend using him as your go to electrician in the area!

Sean did an excellent job installing a ceiling fan and light fixture on our 19 foot ceiling. From getting an estimate to installation communication with him was great and the job was done quickly. We appreciate his professionalism and honesty and his care for the veterans.

Sean is the most professional contractor I have dealt with to date. I made a call on a Tuesday morning, and they responded that afternoon and were able to squeeze me at the time I wanted the very next day. He helped solve my breaker problem, fixed my outdoor Christmas lights, and fairly quoted me for living room and garage light upgrades. To top it off, he is a veteran, which explains his attention to detail and work ethic. I would highly recommend it!

Sean the owner was outstanding. I would highly recommend him. He helped us with several things in our new home that we wanted corrected. He is extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and on time. We will always call him first, if we need assistance in the future.

These guys know their stuff. I was having issues with 2 blown circuit breakers after a big storm the other day. I called around and most electricians charge some to come out, more for diagnosis, more for parts and labor, with an unknown total. These guys do their pricing differently, and tbh I prefer it.

Before coming to my house, Sean called me to see if I had done any troubleshooting myself and to generally talk about what the problem was and to narrow down on what the best course of action. He said to save time and money (!!) he talked me through how to troubleshoot on my own. He was very thorough in explaining their pricing and why doing troubleshooting on my own is best for myself and my pocketbook. How awesome is that?! When he got here, he knew exactly what to do in like 5 minutes, and saved me about half of what I would have paid. I’m not gonna lie, electricians are 💵💰🤑, HOWEVER they do a very important skilled labor that I don’t feel like I can do beyond replacing light fixtures and outlets (if it’s straightforward). Sean was very nice and clear about his price, did a wonderful job, kept us in the loop, and there were no surprises. Thank you Sean! We’ll keep you in mind for future needs!!

The owner Sean came out as our electrician. It’s been a long time since I’ve met such an understanding, informative, respectful, and kind human being! He had no problem having me watch and ask questions… yes I had a million. From veteran to veteran he saw that something was unsafe and corrected it free of charge. Yes, it was only an addition 10-15 min. but that could save my dad house from buring down! The employees’ communication with us was amazing! On time and efficient!

Highly recommend!!!

I highly recommend Veteran's Electric. Sean has done electrical work for us several times. He has always done excellent work, with the highest standards for safety. Each job he has found the issues which needed correction, took care of the problems, and has always been prompt, courteous and professional.
