It’s been great working with Bert and his team to install SPAN Electric Panels. He was able to work with me to deliver exactly what I asked for and at a great price compared to other quotes in my area. Highly recommend checking Shipley out if you want the job done the right way from beginning to end.

Shipley Electric exceeded our expectations. From the start, the communication was top notch, with updates eery step of the way, from estimate, to permits, to work start and work completion. Our project involved multiple phases of work, and Shiple was always on top of making sure we were informed. The work done by the crews was of great quality, ad solidified for us that we chose the right company for our electrical project needs. A big "thank you" to Bert and the entire Shipley crew!

The guys from Shipley Electric showed up on time and did a great job with several tasks for us. They made a great recommendation for an alternate solution to our initial request, which saved us over 500 dollars. They know their craft and they are meticulous right down to lining up the screws on the switch plate covers :-) I will be calling them back soon to install some outdoor lighting as well. Highly recommended!

I had a great experience with Shipley Electric and wanted to share how impressed I was with their responsiveness and service. What started as a simple weekend project, trying to replace an older light switch with a motion sensor, quickly turned into a bigger issue when I couldn’t get it working and realized it was also affecting our garage door opener. This all happened on a Saturday night, so I needed help quickly. Bert got back to me first thing Sunday morning, and we were able to schedule a visit for Monday at 10 AM. Adan and Johnny came out and were incredibly professional, respectful, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. They took the time to fix the issue properly and explained everything clearly. While they were here, they also made a few practical recommendations for improvements we could consider down the road. Since I trusted their judgment, I decided to move forward with a couple of those updates on the spot, and I’m glad I did. Overall, I’m very pleased with the quality of service, the communication, and the professionalism from everyone involved. Shipley Electric will definitely be my go-to for any electrical needs going forward.
