Benchmark Home Services Inc.

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.

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!

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.

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 will undoubtedly call them for all of my future needs.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Ed was extremely responsive, responding to my website inquiry within an hour or so, and we set an appointment for him to look at a couple of outlets that were no longer working properly. He was able to quickly diagnose and resolve the issues all in the same visit, which was great. He also helpfully recommended solutions to a few other "older house" issues. I really appreciated this because contractors are swamped these days and it's tough to find someone who's happy to look at a small job. Would definitely call Ed again!

This is a review for Ed and Benchmark Home Services....
Ed was the best! I contacted Benchmark on the weekend via the Benchmark website (as they are a local electrical company I identified via a Google Map search) and filled out my request to replace a ceiling light fixture. Ed got back to me on Sunday (which I didn't expect) and offered to help. On Monday he scheduled with me to replace the 14" ceiling light (that I had been wanting to get done for a month) and he arrived Monday afternoon, promptly as scheduled, was very professional and completed the work in under a half hour! I am very happy with the job and how easy it was to get done. Thank you Ed!
