We cannot say enough good things about Above the Code! From the remarkable person who manages their main communication line (you are awesome!) to their knowledgeable electricians, weve been super pleased with their service. Theyve installed a ceiling fan and two overhead lights for us. They also set up a transformer and wiring so we could add a wired doorbell to our front door. And they installed the doorbell!

They never made us feel less than for needing to ask basic questions, AND, even after we asked basic questions, they didnt try to up charge us or scare us into doing more work. In fact, they told us we could wait on one project if we wanted to. A+ service. I wish more places were like this.

How do say awesome! This family and this company were absolutely wonderful. The day before Thanksgiving and all my outlets in kitchen went out. We changed plugs. GFI's everything we could think of I called and help arrived 15 minutes later. What a joy to have someone honest and dependable to deal with. The problem was isolated and fixed. He kept my house from burning down in the process from work that was improperly done in the beginning. We would never call anyone else Fran and John King

I can't say enough great things about Above the Code Electrical. From the person who answered the phone to the gentlemen who made the repairs. They were wonderful. Prices are very fair and competitive. I had an electrical fire and they came out same day on the weekend (within an hour) to make sure there wasn't damage to the surrounding wires and reassured me that it was safe. They returned first thing Monday morning and made the necessary repairs to the damaged line. I will not use anyone else. They are truly great!

We contacted ATC for help assessing our company warehouse space. They were astoundingly helpful and generous with their time, and taught us about the process of obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy. They provided a very reasonable quote and even broke it down to each individual task so we could decide how to move forward. Susan, who typically answers the phone, was also one of the sweetest funniest people youll ever talk to!

*****

These guys were great. They diagnosed and fixed our non-functioning outlets within an hour, and quickly helped us with a separate issue as well. I also appreciated they they took the time to explain what the problem was and how they fixed it.

*****

From the person answering the phone and calling to say they are on their way to the electrician and apprentice doing the job, it was a pleasure to work with them. Will call them first for all electrical work from now on!

Outstanding work! Weve used Above the Code Electrical three times now, and have never been let down once!

The last project included adding a outside hookup and line that attaches to our portable Generac generator outside to our breaker box inside, also replacing most of our old and dangerous inside electrical outlets, and checking and repairing a couple of fan switches. They also placed a surge protector into the breaker box for lightning strikes.

They were on time, polite, did great work, and if electrical work is needed again- well be giving Above the Code Electrical for sure!

Thanks!

We’ve used Above the Code Electrical three times now. The last project included replacing most of the electrical outlets, two switches, a ground fault switch inside our main junction box, a wiring setup going from outside to the main box for our outside portable Generac generator, and checking a few other minor items. This company and it’s responding crews really have their stuff “wired” (no pun intended) and I’d recommend them to anyone who needs electrical work or projects done!! Outstanding work! —Doc Lykins, Midlothian, VA

Above the code was an absolute pleasure to work with. They were excellent with communication, and they were able to assist us with installing 15 recessed lights on a tight timeframe in our older home. I cannot recommend them enough!

Great experience from a first time customer! Susan and John were super efficient and friendly. They were able to get out to us within the same day and fixed our outlet at a VERY reasonable price! My go to company from now on!

We had our electric go out in a hallway, one bedroom and of the home office, and the breaker was still in the on position. We needed this fixed pretty quickly due to my wife working from home, and I build paranormal equipment and had projects to complete on my side of the office. I had called four other companies and all couldn't get a repair tech out for days. So I called Above Code and John's wife took my info and even though the were quite busy, arranged for us to be fit in.

John arrived at the time stated, found the issue and had us up and running in under a hour. The price was very reasonable, and I was even given a veterans discount which was quite nice. If we ever have another electrical issue fixed, we will definitely be calling Above The Code.

*****

I've been so impressed with John and Susan. Above the code has been out a few times now and fix some very serious issues for us. John always has great advice. Susan's extremely helpful and resourceful in terms of scheduling. She does a great job of keeping in touch about availability and options. I will definitely call them first going forward.

We were in a bind! We were selling our house and the electrician we contacted just ghosted us. I called Above the Code Electrical and John was able to take care of us the same day! He made quick work of things and fixed our problem. We will keep Above the Code Electrical on speed dial!

*****

We have used Above the Code on several projects recently (large and small). Susan and John are responsive, honest, reasonably price, thorough and do great work. What more could you want? We will only be using Above the Code for our needs and have refer and will continue to because they go above and beyond.

I needed the lighting in my basement modernized (the house is circa 1915) as well as 2 lighting fixtures installed and found Above the Code on Yelp. The reviews are justifiably excellent and know I know why. This is not a large operation but they are completely focused on customer satisfaction and first rate work. I was fortunate enough to get a prompt, well explained, exceedingly reasonable estimate as well as prompt job completion. I will contact them if I need more electrical work. I highly recommend Above the Code without reservation!

Since moving into our house in 2016 we had issues with our pool. After upgrading the sand filter and replacing the pool pump (which promptly began overheating) we called Above the Code Electrical to determine if there were electrical issues. From start to finish their team was courteous and professional. They identified the issues and made the changes necessary to get things running again. And the pool system has been great ever since. Working with them was such a good experience. I definitely recommend them and will be reaching out to them again for future projects involving electrical work.

*****

Life savers. What an amazing company! Truly a godsend. I don't think I can quite explain my circumstance in words but: they responded immediately to my needs, and when an emergency happened, THEY WERE THERE! The whole team! To help me! After hours! And they checked in with me--to make sure things were right! I'm so grateful I found this company and will DEFINITELY stick with them (even for non-emergency electrical needs)

Highly recommended , will keep using Jon for all my electrical need, great quality, highly efficient and totally dedicated to his work

We had our electric go out in a hallway, one bedroom and ½ of the home office, and the breaker was still in the on position. We needed this fixed pretty quickly due to my wife working from home, and I build paranormal equipment and had projects to complete on my side of the office. I had called four other companies and all couldn't get a repair tech out for days.

I had to make an emergency call because my main breaker in my panel tripped. We tried to flip it back on and it arced and tripped. John came out to my house after hours and was able to get it fixed temporarily for the night. He returned the next morning with all the materials needed and had our panel replaced within a few hours. He was extremely professional and truly lived up to the “Our family keeping your family safe” motto! I will be sure to tell everyone I know about this fantastic company! Keep up the great work!!

I called Above the Code Electrical after hours, to my surprise John answered; not annoyed very professional and polite and listened to my concerns. I was amazed. I was very thankful he listened and gave me feedback on what the issues could possibly be. In addition, put me on the schedule for the next day. John has excellent customer service skills and was on time. I hit the jackpot. I have warranty with First America Home Warranty which they denied the claim. So this is why i hired my own contractor (John) for a second opinion.

I probably will be paying for this job out of pocket to be fixed, because they do not seem to have anyone that can diagnose and fix my problem. I am writing this review to thank John. John has reached out to me several times thanking me for my business. However I want to thank John because he is A CLASS ACT & HE IS IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN. It was a pleasure and I am going to keep his number just in case something new arises, or someone I know is in need of a Wonderful Electrician.

Once again, I would like to thank your company and John for an exceptional experience. You by far are ABOVE THE CODE!

John was professional, courteous, and communicative. It was a pleasure working with him--he explained everything he was doing, and went above expectations to fix my problem. The price was also extremely reasonable. All around great experience--I highly recommend this company.

I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I was able to book an appointment. The communication was on point with how long the repairs would take and cost. It's so hard to find reliable contractors these days that actually follow through with what they say. John installed 2 new circuits for an alternative septic system, an outdoor outlet and and indoor outlet for me. Everything looks professional, clean and straight. (I am a perfectionist and it would drive me crazy if anything was crooked haha) Definitely have a customer for life!
