Hands down the best electricians! I was nervous as a new homeowner and only going off reviews, but these are the right guys! Ed and his team came to review my project and quote me before doing the work. They showed up on time, finished and didn't waste ANY of my time or money. The ceiling fan and new light look fantastic! I will FOR SURE be calling them again soon. I didn't care to quote anyone else, but to me, this seemed like a fair price considering they also provided parts and had to go into my scary attic to find a connection. Thank you Benchmark! 10/10!
BHS installed a manual transfer switch for a home generator for me. I have a mid century modern home that has quirks and obstacles that new construction doesn’t. Electric Ed was patient and answered all my questions putting me at ease that this process would be painless… and it was! I am grateful for the quality, professionalism and timeliness with getting this project done. I highly recommend BHS.
Used Benchmark to get a new outlet installed outside. They were able to get me on the schedule quickly, which has been hard to find lately. Communication via email was very responsive and easy. They showed up right on time for our appointment and accomplished the work very quickly. Install went in great and it works perfectly. When accomplishing the work, for safety reasons they had to turn off my heat pump, and forgot to turn it back on before leaving. They were able to make everything right very quickly and easily and I appreciated they're communication. Would not hesitate to use them again for work.
Summary: High quality workmanship, courteous, clean, and flexible. Story: I decided that I wanted to relocate my laundry room and water heater from inside the house to outside in the garage. Doing this would require relocating (2) 240v circuits and (1) 120v circuit, so I started looking for an electrician to come over and quote the project. I called a couple of the larger companies in the Seattle metro area that advertise on TV but they all wanted me to pay a fee just for them to come out and quote. I start searching for local companies and found Benchmark Home Services Inc. I connected with Ed and explained what I was looking to have done, and he said he’d be able to stop by same day to walk the potential job site and talk about possibilities. Ed arrived at our agreed meeting time, evaluated what I was looking to have done (including a new idea to add an outlet to the bathroom) and said he’d send over a formal quote. I received the detailed quote shortly thereafter and agreed to have his company do the work. They worked with me on scheduling to try and coordinate the timing with the plumber so that we wouldn’t be without hot water. On the planned day of the installation, my father had a medical event that required my assistance. Ed and his team were very understanding and accommodated this unforeseen event by saying they could try the following day. The crew showed up the next day, talked me through what they were going to do, asked important questions (e.g. kids and/or animals) and got to work. When coming inside, they took off their shoes before laying down the temporary tarps for walkways where they’d work. The workmanship was high quality, and the job site cleanup performed before leaving was equally as impressive. Besides detailed vacuuming, they wiped down all surfaces they touched including the painted exterior door to the panel - no dark spots or fingerprints. I will recommend BHS to any family or friends if they need to get electrical work done, and w
The electrician was very professional in making sure he was diagnosing the problem correctly and when the replacement part was not available, he went ahead and fixed it for me, and even dropped it off the next day! I really appreciated his helpfulness and professionalism. He really took the extra step to help me fix the problem!
Hands down one of the most professional group of people that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Benchmark has taken care of our business electrical needs and our home remodel projects for years and have not let us down. Benchmark maintains strict quality control, making sure things are executed to a high standard and always on schedule. Ed is very knowledgeable, communicative, trustworthy, and always a pleasure to work with. As a general contractor, I always recommend Benchmark to my clients. I know that my clients will be in good hands and the electrical process will be as smooth as possible! I would highly recommend them.
I needed phenolic tags for an e-house urgently and Ed was able to facilitate my last minute request promptly. They came out great and was able to meet the timeline. Thanks Ed!
I had an emergency with my main panel in my home and Mr. Hlavacek responded almost immediately to my email. This was during the week of the heat wave and they were, understandably, busy. Mr. Hlavacek and Kirill fit me into their very busy schedule and had me fixed up in a jiffy! I plan to hire them in the future for more projects!! 10 out of 10
Ed and his team did a great job! He was super patient walking through the entire process and took a huge load off our plate by working directly with our contractor. The final product came out great and his team was always on time and respectful of our space. I wouldn't hesitate to go with Benchmark the next time i need anything electrical done and will be recommending his team to my friends.
Very quick response! Delivered on time!
Benchmark Home Services did a phenomenal job installing outdoor lighting for our home. Our home is not easier to navigate at night, but looks very nice.
The best company I could have hired, Edward is a person who likes to help. In.less than a week he had the plan design for my business and in 3 weeks I got everything approved by the city to open my business. I highly recommend BENCHMARK HOME SERVICES to do your job.
Needed some phenolic signs for our electric meters. Called Ed on a Saturday and they were delivered on Monday. Price was fair and the quality was great. Haven't used him for electrical yet, but I intend to.
Honest, dependable, responsive, and cost effective! We were really happy to work with Ed at Benchmark Home Services. The previous owner of our home had personally installed some rather questionable electrical wiring at some point which was causing us problems, and finally an outage for part of the house. Benchmark responded quickly, arrived on time, discovered several issues and took care of them. We were really impressed with the overall professionalism.
With out-of-town guests staying with us over Thanksgiving, we were already overloading our circuits a couple of days ahead of time, and were nervous that our dinner preparations for 10 guests on Thanksgiving Day might wreak total havoc on the electrical system. Ed answered the phone when I called, and while he was booked up with installation work prior to Thanksgiving, he did carve out time to come out to our house that same day to make sure we weren't going to burn our house down, and to give us tips about how to put less pressure on different points throughout the system. Ed was knowledgeable, thorough, friendly, and ultimately reassuring. We now know more about our home's aging electrical system, and are confident that we can have a safe Thanksgiving gathering here. We will definitely call him again when the need arises.
Ed at Benchmark Home Services was super fast to respond to my online inquiry. He was able to send guys out that same afternoon. Two of our outlets in the kitchen area had started repeatedly tripping, though intermittently. They were able to fix the problem, but since it was intermittent, we couldn't tell immediately while they were still there, if it had been fixed. They were very clear to give them a call back if there was still a problem, but there hasn't been. We remembered we were having issues with our outdoor outlets as well and they were able to replace them too. We're very pleased with their service!
Hired for EV car charging outlet. Ed and crew were super responsive, I mean quick in all communication. Got it installed with in a week of contact including an onsite consultation. They explained in detail what they were going to do with confidence and experience. They answered my ignorant questions politely.
Fixed electrical problem for TeakHouse. They were very nice people and did an amazing job.. thanks...Daniel
The Benchmark Home Services staff and electricians are fantastic! This Monday morning we contacted them by e-mail and received a prompt reply and by Monday afternoon we received a home visit from a very professional lead electrician to estimate the work to be done. During the initial in home consultation the electrician answered all our questions. On Tuesday we worked together with the staff by e-mail and agreed to the scope of work at a better than fair price and we scheduled an appointment for the work to be performed on Wednesday morning. The crew arrived early and the work was professionally completed within hours. Our projects included replacing multiple light fixtures, a ceiling fan, installation of a new dimmer switch and a new thermostat. All of the work was done perfectly and the site was all cleaned up before they left. I will definitely be contacting them again for future services. Highly recommend! ***** Alisa Bolander and Sean Hochanadel
We have found the best electrical service in the area. We have tried a couple of others over the years and they were okay. We had another company that we set an appointment with a week ago this past Monday. On Monday they never showed up and I called them and they said they had to cancel due to Covid. We gave them our phone # and email address but we were never contacted. So I called several other electricians in the area and could not get anyone, voicemail, no answer or were booked up. I called Benchmark on Monday but got voice mail also. A few minutes later Ed, from Benchmark, called me back. I gave him our problem and he called us Tuesday and came out to look at the project (small job). He was very pleasant and personable. It was a pleasure to be able to have a genuine smile, great attitude and professional demeanor rolled into one. (Not very many of these lately). He gave us an estimate and said he would be out that afternoon or out today. He called late yesterday and said his men would be out this morning at 09:00AM. They were a few minutes early and had the job done in an hour. The men were also very personable, informative and knowledgeable. Very professional crew. I will be using them for more work in the near future. Ace C. Des Moines, WA.
