Constraction reviews in Seattle, Washington

Best electrician in town and it’s not even close. As a small business owner in the trades myself, I have so much appreciation for West Seattle Electric’s honesty, professionalism and quality of work.

I have worked with them for years. I have hired them as subcontractors, referred them to our clients and have never had a single issue to complain about. They are the kind of contractors people wish they could find more easily.

Ryan, the owner is a military vet with a heart of gold. He will quite literally do whatever it takes to make his clients happy and his employees feel valued. He and his dad, run a homeless shelter 4 months out of the year and Ryan is a long standing member of Bikers Against Child Abuse. They are always thinking of ways to give back to the community.

We insulated the attic of the shelter last year and I was overwhelmed watching the volunteers cook breakfast for people that really needed help. Few people take the time out from running a business to help others, the way that Ryan does.

Work with this company! Support the best kind of small business! You’ll be so glad you did.

(And call us for all your attic and crawl space needs, as well… We are pretty good too 😁)

West Seattle installed my solar panels back in 2012, replaced two panels damaged by a falling tree limb in 2019 and performed some basic electrical upgrades as well. They were always quick to respond and very cost competitive. As I'm looking to increase my solar capability while the tax credit still exists, West Seattle will be my go to source for the upgrade.

Called West Seattle Electric and Solar for a new outlet installation. They were there that afternoon and the price was far less than I expected! Great job Jay and Devin!

I highly recommend West Seattle Electric & Solar. I have used them various times for home electrical needs including deck lights installation and interior fixtures installation and repair. Recently Alon installed a fixture and dimmer switch in my home office and repaired a couple aging can lights. He was super friendly, skilled and very efficient. I also really enjoy Naomi in the office who makes scheduling easy and is always kind and communicative.

West Seattle Electric is a great, professional company. Francisco and his crew were very friendly and detailed in their explanation of what the issues were and how to resolve them. They took careful action in installing new wiring and drywall was easily repaired afterwards. The process was relatively fast for the amount of work that my house needed. The office staff were also very friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend them.

My electricity in a portion of my house went completely dead, I reached out to Ryan and he had his team out the same day. Within minutes they had the electricity working again. Also, they fixed the wiring in my bathroom and put in a new receptacle. They were quick, and did an amazing job. West Seattle Electric will always be my go to for my electricity needs!

Ryan came out and assessed our home for solar panels. Unfortunately do to large trees that shade our home it wasn't going to give us the best ROI. Ryan was honest about this and gave us some options to maximize return by using less panels. Overall it didn't make sense for us but we really appreciated his honesty and experience. Would recommend.

Jay and his crew were great. They replaced our panel, installed ev chargers, and pulled some circuits. The team was on time, professional, and did a great job. Ryan, the owner was personable and honest when we had our walkthrough with him. Casey in the office was responsive and patient while we worked through some changes in the things we wanted. We’d def use WS Electric again!

A few years ago my wife and I had an upgrade done to our knob & tube wiring to have it upto current regulations. At 1st this company came in at a reasonable bid. But unfortunately they weren't able to job as estimated. These folks came in to the tune of 6k higher and caused unnecessary damage to the walls for access points in which they only were only willing to cover half the cost. To add to the issue regarding this company. When my wife & I went to their office to drop off a certificate check for the job. Once we arrived at their office they had on display a "BLM" flag in the window which my wife and I found to be very offensive do to the ideology this company supports. To top things of when the final inspection was done the company had a female employee there when the inspector was there as a distraction which led to the job being signed off on with an exposed live 220 volt with which was a potential danger for fire, humans or our dogs. This company needs to seriously rethink it's business practices.

10/10 Recommend. Serviced my home in Ballard.

Great experience from the start. When I first called West Seattle Electric, Amy took my information and asked questions about electrical issues. I can tell her questions was to triage and identify the correct electrician to send out for my specific situation. She collected my availability and promptly called back to schedule based on earliest availability.

My electrician, Jay Anderson, was top notch. Amazing customer service: both knowledgeable and friendly. He troubleshooted my doorbell, requiring multiple trips up and down my unfinished attic to inspect wiring. He provided clear detail & explanations for what he was looking for, explaining his process the whole way. I appreciated his diligence and commitment to figure out what was going wrong and fix it. He returned my attic in the same condition he found it in (after having to move a lot of insulation) and he was clean & tidy working inside my house.

West Seattle Electric did an amazing job installing my new Leviton Electrical Smart Panel, whole house surge protector, EV chargers for 2 cars, and swapping out all my electrical outlets in my home. All devices are working properly with no issues. His staff was professional and courteous. I recommend installing a whole house surge protector as the solar flares zapped my brand new furnace electrical components and the fix was expensive. Well worth the investment. These days people have so many new digital devices such as shower controls it's a good idea to protect expensive equipment.

Had 6 quotes/estimates for a service upgrade to 200A along with some smaller projects and the one I got from WSES was the most detailed while containing several options. With several of the other companies, I got hand-wavy answers to all my questions for why things might be needed, but not WSES. Everything was explained clearly and I walked away actually understanding the reasoning behind changes.

Living in an older house, I've come to expect many "surprises" and I knew that was a likely possibility with this project. WSES was the only option that called out some of the likely surprises they might find.

The crew was very professional, always on time, and answered all of my questions when I had them. I got frequent progress updates and power was provided while the power to my house was out.

I could not recommend Ryan and his crew enough!

I loved working with West Seattle Electric on my DADU. They were fast, professional, and communicated really well as the project progressed. They finished the job ahead of schedule and under budget. I could not have been happier with their work.

Ryan started by educating me on the safety concerns of my mid 1940s existing electrical equipment. Showed me the differences between the different levels of equipment. He was the third electrician I had come look at my home and everyone else gave me roughly the same price on mediocre equipment. He showed me the newest and safest service and breaker panels and I gotta say they look wonderful. I couldn’t be happier with the way that his crew treated my family And the level of respect they gave my neighbors. I wouldn’t recommend anyone more than Ryan and his team.

Fantastic work! I had West Seattle Electric swap out 20 light fixtures on a home I am selling. They were able to get there quickly, completed the job in 1 day and left the home spotless. Their employees were polite and professional.

Ryan and his team are awesome! They have done several projects for us from small to large. Most recently, Mark reconfigured two light switch boxes so there was enough space to install some smart dimmers. He is always courteous & friendly and really knows his stuff!

Francisco is also top notch! He was the lead person on a big remodeling project that turned out amazing.

I highly recommend Hydro Shield Restoration to anyone who is looking for water damage services.
Very knowledgeable and professional team who handled the water damage in our bathroom and laundry. Great work, thank you.

We had a water leak from an upstairs bathroom, which resulted in water damage in 2 bathrooms and a basement ceiling. I called Hydro Shield Restoration to get it it dried out, they were extremely prompt, knowledgeable, and professional. As a person who is highly sensitive to mold, the quick response was appreciated!

Peter and the team did a fantastic job with great customer service!!

My parents own some property in north Seattle. There was an issue with a burst pipe which caused a lot of water damage. We called Hydro Shield to come out. They were able to schedule us really quickly and worked around the tenants schedule, which was awesome! They had to do quite a bit of demo but they got it done in a few days and they dried everything out. They submitted the bill to the insurance which covered it. We are very happy with the results and when they asked us to write a review we were more than happy to give them 5 stars!

Had a leak destroy the cabinet floor under my kitchen sink, these guys got it all taken care of real well. Dry Force did a great job, customer service was top notch, and I am always happy to support small local businesses.
