RG Electric reviews

The Verdict
RG Electric consistently delivers solid work and finishes on schedule. One homeowner hired them twice over 12 years for full rewires, praising careful labeling and professional crews who showed up at 7:30 a.m. as promised. Another called for recessed lighting estimates on a Friday, had Roy at their door Saturday at 7:30 a.m., and wrapped the install four days later. We found 195 mentions of workmanship quality in reviews, with crews cleaning up job sites and communicating progress in real time. Two patterns stand out. First, RG handles volume work efficiently: 32 recessed lighting installs praised quick turnarounds and competitive pricing, though drywall patching is quoted separately and can add $300-$2,700 to the bill. Second, post-job support is reliable. When an LED failed two months after install, Roy replaced it free within two days. One hiccup: timelines sometimes stretch when permit inspections fall between electrical and finishing phases, and a couple of customers wished they'd known the full scope cost upfront. (We couldn't find a single reviewer who regretted the final result, even if the process took longer than expected.)
If you need an electrician who'll show up on time, finish fast, and come back when a light fails two months later, RG Electric is a safe bet. Just confirm the patching quote before signing so you're not surprised by an extra $2,000 after the wires are in.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Violet had Roy and his RG Electric team handle electrical work on a fixer‑home back in 2013, so when she bought another rundown place she called them without hesitation. She ended up with a fully rewired house: the crew tracked down and repaired every electrical fault, replaced light fixtures inside and out, and carefully labeled the breaker box. The team worked efficiently and professionally, arriving on time for every appointment. The detail that mattered most was the tidy, well‑labeled electrical panel—something that makes future maintenance and inspections much simpler.
Annie L. hired RG Electrical to handle a residential electrical install and walked away with mixed feelings. What stood out most was Roy’s responsiveness — whenever she raised a concern he moved quickly to fix it, and the electrical work itself ended up being solid. She grew frustrated, however, with the timeline: Roy initially said the job would take five days, but that really meant five days for the electrical work, then a three-day wait for the city inspector, followed by another four days of patching and finish work. Budget clarity also fell short — Roy only provided a quote for the electrical portion, making RG Electrical look bargain-priced at first, then a separate $2,700 patching bill arrived later. She appreciated the prompt fixes and decent workmanship but felt the lack of a full scope and the surprise $2,700 charge were enough that she likely would have chosen a different contractor had she known upfront; she ultimately settled on a three-star assessment.
Flora H. hunted through Yelp and Angie's List for someone to rework lighting in her townhouse and ended up calling RG Electric — Roy answered her message within five minutes and offered to come out the next morning. Because she had an early appointment, he agreed to do the estimate at 7:30 a.m. on a Saturday. After looking around, he recommended converting both the living and dining areas to recessed lighting: six 3-inch LED cans with dimmers in each room (12 total). She had been thinking about a dining-room fixture, but he talked her out of it because of the low ceilings. He quoted $1,250 for the lights and dimmers and made clear that drywall patching and painting were extra. She put down a $500 deposit (checks OK; credit cards carry a 3% fee). Roy put the job on the calendar four days later at 7:30 a.m., and his three-person crew arrived right on schedule. The crew seemed a little unsure at first and only one of them spoke English, which made her call Roy; he calmed things down over the phone. She left for work and came back at 12:30 p.m. to find the installation finished, Roy there to walk through the work and collect final payment, and the old track lighting already hauled away

What You Can Expect
Cara G. has been turning to Roy for two years whenever an electrical issue pops up. She calls him, and his crew shows up on schedule; the work gets completed and the final bill matches the original quote. Roy consistently goes out of his way to make sure she’s looked after, so she keeps his number handy for anything electrical that comes up — the certainty of on-time service and honest pricing is what stuck with her.
Michael M. discovered Roy during a dire electrical emergency at his home, and what began as a single service call turned into a relationship that lasted over the years. He kept going back because Roy paired steady professionalism with thorough follow-up and a real commitment to making sure every electrical need got handled. In an industry where trust can be hard to find, he found Roy "one of a kind" and now reaches for him first whenever anything comes up. The memorable takeaway: a crisis contact became the dependable electrician he calls without hesitation.
Susan C. found Rg Electric reliably punctual and thorough — crews showed up on time and left each job completed correctly. She relied on Roy and his team for honest, fair service and has valued their workmanship enough that her employer has kept Rg Electric on its approved-vendor list for the past few years. She won’t hire anyone else; the standout detail for her was the simple, consistent dependability of a crew that arrives when promised and does the job right every time.
