I hired Vero Beach Electrical to complete a full rewire of my 1957 home and have been thrilled with their work. They were willing to rewire our home in a slightly unconventional way ... by running the new wires through channels cut in the plaster, to be hidden by our baseboards. I didn't want to take down walls! 3 other electrical contractors weren't willing to take the job because my method was more work, but Vero Beach Electrical loved the idea (that may be a stretch, but they were on board!) and has worked closely with me to restore our home with minimal damage to original walls and fixtures. There were some crossed wires and oddly tripped breakers here and there (mostly due to the fact that you never know what you're getting with an old house) and they identified and remedied the issues immediately.
Dave did the majority of the wire. He was here day in and day out for the entirety of the Summer of 2022--he spent so much time here that now, when he comes for small jobs here and there, I welcome him home! He's personable, professional, arrives on-time, he's honest, and he's got real ingenuity. I've made some tricky asks (can you run my TV cord in conduit through my 1957 wall and make it come out in the built in cabinet on the adjoining wall? can you mount this really cool outdoor fixture that looks like it'll be a major pain to install? can you center those 4 wafer lights, but not on the corners of the room, on that opening? and then can you center the fan on the 4 lights but also on the vents that are on either end of the room?) and he has come through 100% of the time. My TV cord is hidden (and it brings me so much joy!) and the TV is perfectly centered, the outdoor fixture is something neighbors have commented on because it really is SO COOL, my lights and fan are perfectly centered exactly how I wanted.
Kelley--in the office--is always so kind and helpful, and has kept us organized and on track for permit requirements/timing.
Ron made a ton of great suggestions like installing smart switches that don't require wiring (Lutron Casetas) so that we didn't have to open walls to have a switch at each entrance to our main living space. He also was kind enough to let me know that my washing machine drains right into our yard--he was standing in the trench we dug to bury our electrical service when I ran a load of laundry and he got an unexpected shoe wash--sorry!
Cliff, the owner, has paid close attention to our project and has offered invaluable input both on the electrical work and on our overall restoration.
I'm fortunate to have found these guys. I've learned that not everyone in this town is honest and works hard. We'll call Vero Beach Electrical for any electrical needs,...
Read moreHad an amazing experience with Vero Beach Electrical. Visiting family condo for the week and noticed electrical issues. Flickering lights, some circuits not working. Looked at panel and noticed what looked like burn marks. I found VBE through a Google search and noticed the professionalism of their website. Called VBE early on Easter Sunday and received an almost immediate text response followed by a phone call from Cliff, the owner. Issue was treated very seriously and an appointment was scheduled for the next morning. The VBE crew showed up early (7:25) Monday morning. Biagio and his assistant, Elaude, quickly diagnosed the issue, which was water related from the rooftop AC unit. At least two heavy Amp breakers failed and melted. Could have been a much more serious issue. They determined a new panel was needed and after a quote was developed and approved, work began immediately. Biagio did a great job explaining the issue and kept me informed of the process. Working as a team, he and Elaude were able to complete the panel install, bringing it up to modern code, and restore power that afternoon. The entire team at VBE has been very responsive using texts, phone calls and a technology-based invoicing system to make the process as efficient and positive as possible. I can't say enough good things about my...
Read moreWatch out giving them your credit card to keep on file. First of all the amount of money they charge is outrageous. We paid them $3,000 for a job that we thought they had to come finish up but was already paid for. Turns out they charged us over $600 more without explanation or approval ahead of time and then when I tried to get my questions answered about why we were being charged more they just went ahead and ran the card without my consent. A month had gone by and because of a mix up with sending the invoice to my text which cannot be opened and to the wrong email which I did not get, they apparently assumed the worst that we would not pay the bill at all, which could not be further from the truth. We were long time customers and happy with the service up until that point. We would have paid the bill on our own accord if after discussion it turned out I was wrong and did indeed owe that much more. Because of these practices, we will never call them for...
