Bahar ToluTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clifford and his assistant were amazing. They came and installed my new RING Security system, in spite of the web site issues Ring had, which required a follow up visit the next day to complete the work. They showed up on time, and they even cleaned up before leaving. Couldn't get better service. I highly recommend them.

Miguel TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot say enought good things. Clifford was able to help our business get power restored on a holiday weekend! He had an accurate ETA and stayed until 1am to make sure our ice cream business would not lose all of our product and that our faulty panel would not cause an electrical hazard to the entire facility. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. Highly recommend this business! MoniqueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A few years back we needed a couple of fixtures replaced at my parent’s house. Clifford was sent out and did a great job. My dad even kept his contact information because he liked Clifford’s work. Fast forward to last week and I needed more work done at the house. There were about 8 fixtures needing to be replaced and some switches that were shorting out. Of course I contacted Clifford, but he told me he had started his own company and, per an agreement with his former company, he wanted to check with them to make sure they were ok with him taking my business. Ethical! Thumbs up #1. Once he cleared it, he called me right back and booked a time to come by and give me an estimate. He was at the house within 24 hours. Responsive! Thumbs up #2. As we walked through the house, he gave me a running rough estimate. As numbers were floating through my head, he said not to worry. He would email a written estimate later that day. That evening I received an itemized list of everything we had talked about. Follow through! Thumbs up #3. We agreed that I would purchase two of the new fixtures to be installed and that he would provide the others; since I was unclear on what would actually work. We agreed he would start the following Tuesday at 9:30. He was here and ready to go at 9:15! Punctual! Thumbs up #4. He and his apprentice Manny worked diligently for the next 3 hours to get all the work done and make sure everything was working properly before they left. They even made sure all the work areas were cleaned up and old fixtures were disposed of. Thorough! Thumbs up #5. Those are a lot of thumbs up! Obviously, I have nothing but good things to say about Clifford and Big Red Dog Electric. I would not hesitate to contact Clifford for any electric needs in the future. If you want good & prompt customer service (That’s a BIG thing for me. Did I mention there was no phone tree?! Someone actually answered the phone!), conscience workers and knowledgeable electricians; contact Big Red Dog Electric. 👍 Katelyn ByingtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Big Red Dog Electric was professional, on time, very efficient, and quite thorough. They even came back a few times the same day after the job was completed just to double/triple check on a few items to ensure the job was done correctly.
