What our Tenafly Customers have to say
The Tenafly public library had a fantastic experience with Barrett. After getting the runaround by three electricians, a few community members and real estate agents recommended Barrett. We needed a quick turnaround job as we are going through a major renovation project for the teen space at the library. Their team was courteous, transparent, and professional, and it felt like they truly wanted to serve the community. We are grateful for their work and highly recommend their services for commercial or home projects Services Ground wire installation, Installation, Electrical socket and switch relocation, Electrical panel repair, Electrical socket and switch repair
All 5 star feedbacks you read here are true. I am a resident in Tenafly. Barrett responded to my emergency call at 6PM on a snowstorm day and showed up at my door the next day. This electrician has integrity and deal with customers in the most kind and professional way you can ever imagine. All contractors should be like this! They charge very reasonable fee and I look forward to working with them again in near future. I wholeheartedly recommend this company. Look no further. Call them now. Positive Responsiveness, Professionalism Services Electrical socket and switch repair, Electrical power restoration
Grounded Electric is the best electrical company I’ve worked with. They helped renovate our restaurant, Spring House in Tenafly, and did an incredible job! They replaced all of the light fixtures, relocated switches and outlets, and troubleshot some issues we were having with power distribution. All of their technicians were extremely knowledgeable, thorough, professional, and took great care with all of the light fixtures we purchased to install. Their pricing was incredible fair and I think we received great value for what they charged us. Grounded is the only company I would hire to do our electrical work in the future!

I called Grounded Electric in the suggestion of a social media friend. I can happily report that all of my interactions with Barrett, owner, and his crew have been nothing short of stellar. They came on time to walk through the house to we see what we needed. They sent an estimate and away we went. Grounded Electric is reliable, well priced, honest and communicative.
In addition, to being a wonderful electric company, they are a wealth of information. When we needed a plumber GE recommend someone who was as fantastic as they are. I have already sent several friends to GE. My friends have been equally happy with GE. I could not recommend them more wholeheartedly!
Once again Grounded Electric exceeded all expectations. We were introduced to Grounded Electric several years ago and without hesitation, I can say it was the best introduction we have ever received! We have used Grounded Electric for all of our electric needs but also their sister company to handle all general contracting needs. They built a theater and bar area in our basement which is absolutely perfect and they recently transformed our backyard into, simply put, an oasis. Start to finish, the team worked with us to fine tune the plan and work within a budget to provide exactly what we wanted to achieve and so much more. Grounded Electric is so incredible, I almost hesitate to recommend them here for fear that they will be too busy for my next project, which we are already planning given how happy we are with everything they’ve done to date. Call them now!
