Forest Hills Electrical Contracting Inc

Worked with Beshaun and two of his assistants on our apartment. He’s extremely thorough and cuts right to the chase. I paid a fair price for great work. He’s always on time and responds to emails/​phone calls immediately. If you’re in the Forest Hills area, give him a call.

These guys are fast, efficient, professional, and most of all, they want to work.
We had been contacting a contractor to oversee all the work we wanted done in our house, in addition to electrical, but we were chasing the man down, trying to get a straight answer, a specific start date, a solid estimate. Fed up with that idiot, we were led to this company. I think we were dealing with Beshaun? (spelling?) And what a noticeable difference– he treated us like we were valuable customers. He communicated with us openly and quickly. When they said they were going to show up, they did, and usually early. Emails sent to them were responded to within a few hours, if even. Their estimate was clear and detailed, so everything made sense. Best of all, during the actual consultation, he didn’t just make notes of what needed to be done, but he gave us his professional input, such as what work would be done, what positions for the recess lights would be most practical. He asked us where we wanted the new outlets to be depending on the set up of our new kitchen. Then to the bedrooms, which were a mess — extension cords were run into the outlets — and our original contractor would have charged us over $ 400 to yank those wires out. To be fair… we had no idea the extent of the electrical work or damage, so we couldn’t argue the price. He also ran new AC lines in the bedroom and living room down the breaker box.
These guys just did it, because it literally took no extra effort. Also Beshaun was honest and upfront — he said the outlets were fine, and he wasn’t going to replace something that was working perfectly. I was stunned — the douchebag contractor we were going to hire didn’t tell us that! Instead he was going to charge us an arm and a leg for it, just so he could get more money out of the entire job.
I can’t rave enough about these guys. On the day of the job they show up right on time, if not a bit early. They get started working right away, having a set plan of action, and they are bustling about. By 1: 30… they are done. They had said it would be a one day job, but we didn’t know it would be completed within a few hours. They walked us through everything and everything looked great.
We are definitely planning to use this company again. We couldn’t do any kitchen electrical work because we wanted to rip down the old cabinets, and Beshaun advised us that everything would fall out anyway, so it didn’t make sense to redo the work twice and waste time and money. Again, love their honesty. So that’s our plan. Once we finish the cabinets, we are going to call these guys up, because they give you good quality work, good prices, and they’re people you can rely on, ask questions, discuss. Way better than most who just want the buck.

I was pleasantly surprised from the beginning to the end: very punctual, provided an estimate with price 3 times less than previous estimate by another company;kept all appointments as promised, work done super fast and very professional. Highly recommend

Very professional! Fixed a horrible job that was done on a ceiling fan today. They explained so many things I didn’t even know about how houses are set up in so many different ways with the electric etc. and just did an excellent job with everything. These guys know their trade well and I wouldn’t hesitate to call them if I needed any electric work done. Also, the charge was very fair for the work they did and the time it took.

Called after a stormy night (also saw their van in my block that day coincidentally). Some of the circuits in our house was damaged — where the circuits had power, but low power so that lights on it were dim, and any electronics plugged on it did not turn on at all.
Called FH Electrical Contracting and left 2 voicemails. Paul contacted me back in 2 – 3 hours, and told me that he was in the neighborhood and worked on a neighbor’s home — same issue. He told me that he found out that its a Con Edison issue where some of their breakers external to the homes were fried. He told me i didnt need an electrician and it’ll be a waste of money. He advised me to wait it out, unplug my electronics, and gave me a coned service ticket number that he (or his customer) opened today.
I called Con ed and reported the issue, and when i got home that night, a con ed truck was outside temporarily fixing neighbors that were experiencing the partial blackout on the block.
The business is honest, modest and friendly. They saved me money (but not coming in to «check» my issue) and pointed me with the right guidance on fixing it (ConEd + service ticket number)

We had a wonderful recent experience contracting with Forest Hills Electrical.
I called Paul right before the New Year, and he was able to come a few days later to visit our place to walk through our needs and would later provide an estimate. He showed up with one of his guys, told him what we wanted, and he walked me and my wife through how he would approach the project, what type of material he would recommend, and how long he think it might take.
A few days later Paul emailed me as promised. I had several questions and his responses were prompt. When we settled on the scope of work and I signed the paperwork, he provided all the necessary paperwork my co-​op requires to have work performed. Once it was all approved, he scheduled a date for the work to be performed. A week before the scheduled date, I re-​confirmed our appointment and again he promptly replied.
Fast forward to the date of work, Paul and his crew show up on time as promised. They came in 30 minutes before work could officially start in the building to survey the apartment and prep. They helped move furniture that needed to be moved, covered every surface of furniture and flooring. Paul explained what was going to happen at each major turn and received my opinion when needed (e.g. where to place a light switch). They were incredibly efficient and for all the dirt and dust they drew up, incredibly neat as well. They finished their work within the time frame originally anticipated and were out of the apartment by 3pm.
Paul and his crew were really great. We now have the new lighting we wanted, it looks professionally done, and other than the patches for the small holes they made that will eventually be painted, you could never tell that a crew of four guys were running around my apartment all day running wire, making holes, etc.
I would highly recommend Forest Hills Electrical Contracting to anyone. They did a fantastic job and we’re so happy with their work.

I contacted this company about having extensive work done in our apartment, and Paul came out right away and spent a good deal of time discussing the work, what it would entail and was very friendly. He promised me an estimate by email the next day (this was in mid-​October). The estimate never arrived.
A few weeks later I tried following up and finally, after a few tries by email and phone, Paul called me back last week and apologized — it seemed very sincerely — for having forgotten about me and promised he’d look up his notes and get back to me. He didn’t.
I called today (Dec. 10) to see what was up. Paul answered the phone, said «I’m sorry but we’re not going to be able to do the job,» and hung up on me before I could ask why.
I won’t interpret anything into this. It’s never happened to me before. No explanation? Very disappointed.

Paul and his crew added outlets to my pre-​war co-​op in richmond hill. Job was done swift and perfect, cost was fair, and no damage in plaster walls left for me. These guys are very professional and know what they are doing.

I was very pleased with my experience with these guys. Courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. I felt like I was in very good hands, and the price was fair. Not only did they complete the job I had hired them for (installing a 220 Volt outlet), but they fixed a botched job by a previous electrician. I would highly recommend them.

I can not say enough good things about this company and the employes.
I had gotten 2 estimates from other area electricians, the proposals included work they said i needed and the quotes were staggering.
Forest hills electrical was the last quote, they arrived to the minute expected .
took a look explained what i REALLY needed and gave me an estimate on the spot .
I tried to hide my shock as they were 4 times less …
That night they emailed me as promised a contract and we booked the appointment ‚
They showed on time did all the work, cleaned up totally the area they worked in the basement and in the tenants apartment .
First time this tenant did not complain .
The workers were polite and so nice i had to write this review and i am thrilled to know i have an electrician i can call, recommend should i need one .
unfortunately old school business like this rarely exist any more

I met Paul (owner) for an estimate to upgrade my electrical panel from fuse to circuit breakers (100amp) plus install a exhaust fan in the bathroom also fix my door bell.
The estimate was reasonable and fair.
I also asked him to have the City inspect electrical panel. NO Problem he said.
Permit was filed by him, copy given to me and posted.
They showed up on time, work was completed on time. Paul and his men are very professional, respectful of my home furnishing (protection).
They broom swept all work locations.
Paul scheduled inspection by the City, kept me informed by phone and email.
Inspection day the City showed up and Paul. Paul even told them to wipe their feet as they entered my home. He kept me informed of what has happening. IN THE END THE CITY PASSED THE WORK HE PERFORMED.
I picked a very professional electrician. I am very pleased with his work. He will be the only 1 I will call for all my electrical needs.
The only Con I can think of is they didn’t wear booties over their boots to protect my carpet. They still get 5 stars from me.

These guys are terrific. First off my co-​op is really picky about credentials for any contractors, and FH Electrical submitted everything fast and correct, and it was OK’d immediately.
Then, they were on time (early, even!) with a good attitude and got right to work. In two hours I had the outlets installed that I’ve needed for years. (Why did I wait so long??) I live in a prewar building and the electrical wires aren’t so great, but that’s been no problem for the jobs I’ve had FHE do. They know how to get the work done safely as well as efficiently.
Last but not least, they patched everything and cleaned up so well that the place looks cleaner than it did before they arrived. So happy to have them on my team of experts to improve my home!
