We hired McBride for some garage and exterior lighting. Brett was very patient as we emailed back and forth about different options and was also very accommodating when we wanted to try different configurations. We were trying to strike a balance between enough lighting for what we wanted but not too much to annoy the neighbors, so we were trying some different things. Justin was the tech that did the work and did a great job. We are very happy with how everything ended up.

Parker helped us uninstall an old motion detector system. Since it was an unusual system, I thought it would be difficult. He handled the challenges very well, and the results looked good.

Weve had several electrical items that needed to be addressed during renovations, basement flooding, upgrades, etc. McBride sent Mitch and Dayne out and they were awesome! They were friendly, efficient and informative. They made sure to clean up the areas they were working in and answer any questions we had.And the two ladies in the office, Chloe and Alisha, are fantastic! Theyve always been a huge help every time weve called for service. They coordinated all the scheduling and provided all the answers to pricing and invoice questions.We highly recommend McBride Lighting & Electrical to any anybody that is in need of services.

They have done several jobs for me. They are always on time, professional, and knowledgeable. They have gotten difficult jobs done in the least obtrusive way possible and they always take their time to figure out exactly what needs to be done and the best way to do it.

I’ve been working closely with McBride Lighting & Electrical for a couple of years now on multiple properties and I will never change vendors! Every single individual I’ve worked with whether it be to schedule an appointment, discuss a bid or consulting on repairs McBride goes above and beyond! I have also had the pleasure to work quite frequently with one of their technicians, Justin, and he is a top notch worker! Justin is informative, professional and goes wayyy above what is requested to make sure my property is running smoothly!Such a blessing to continue to do business with McBride and I would recommend them highly!!

Hands down the absolute best company Ive have the pleasure of working with. Everyone that works there are really good people and I know them all. Mitch, Dayne, Scott Dorey, Justin, David, Brook, Brett, Scott, Tim, Chris, Jared, Chloe, Alysha and all the rest of the guys and gals there are just genuinely amazing. If I could give them 17 thousand stars I would. Dont hesitate to give them a call. Theyll help you with your electrical needs.

Very grateful to have found McBride. As a new homeowner, funds were limited but I needed to perform some necessary repairs/upgrades to my lighting and exterior outlets.I understand good electricians dont come cheap and while I was not able to accomplish everything I hoped for, McBride was able to perform the necessary repairs in a timely fashion and extremely professional manner.They went above and beyond when they spent time to educate me on what to expect in the future for other projects Id like to tackle and recommended some products I should consider.Would recommend them for any project you might have. Ill be calling again when Im ready!

Hired these guys 6 months back to fix a GFI in our garage that keeps tripping a breaker and do some maintenance on a recessed can-light.They came out and took a look at the GFI box, fixed it, and charged us $389 bucks for the trip. This is an outlet in the garage so it doesnt get any use over the winter - and so we thought everything was fine.Went out today to plug in some yard tools and noticed the breaker and GFI outlet are again tripped and seem to be having the same problem we had McBride fix last fall. Called them up to ask if they would come out and take a look - nope. Wanted to charge us $160 to show up and even look at the outlet. Said it was because they couldnt be sure we didnt screw it up since they fixed it.Wife and I had a quick chat - and decided against giving this company any of our money ever again. If you wont stand behind your work even 6 months than i would rather not have you working on my homes electrical systems. Buyer beware on these guys.Edit: Cant figure out how to respond to the owner response below so ill just say this - we did not hear anything about additional service potentially costing more or other problems etc etc etc. The guy on the phone literally said he couldnt be sure we didnt screw it up since they fixed it and then said it would be 160 to come out.Suggesting that 6 months later the big scam were trying to pull was to have them look at something they already said they fixed - and then go on the internet and lie about it in a bad review - is such a crazy notion that im not even sure how to respond. So ill leave it at this - buyer beware.

Hired McBride to complete some electrical repairs in my home. The gentleman I spoke with to schedule was very nice and accommodated my schedule. The electrician that completed the work was very knowledgeable, clean and completed the repairs quickly. Good price for quality work...I strongly recommend McBride Lighting!Had these guys out again to figure out why my outside plugs werent working. Another great experience!

Mitch D has always been on top of operational issues in this store. When he finds any lighting/safety issues which pertain to this business, he immediately finds solutions, takes care of getting approvals, and completes the job. His work has never been faulty; he ensures that his services are complete, and leaves no details lingering for someone else to find or fix. I will say that hes the most competent electrical technician Ive encountered in 42 years of business. He represents his company well. When calling for repair or services, I request him and hope that he is the available technician to help. When he shows up at the front door, I know the problem(s) will be fixed without any further problems. Mitch, thanks for your great level of service and commitment to your job!

Contacted McBride Lighting & Electrical for installation of two closet lights. They were prompt in returning my initial call and most helpful in making sure I knew what light fixtures I would need to purchase for the closets. Within a few days of my original call, I had an installation date. I found the whole experience with McBride to be very smooth from the initial call to the final work done and was impressed with Derek on the installation. Derek contacted me on the morning of the installation with his approximate arrival time. He arrived on time, promptly put on shoe covers, and cleaned up after the installation.I would definitely contact McBridge Lighting and Electrical for my next job. Thanks for a job well done.

From start to finish McBride was understanding, professional and provided exceptional service. When my 1940s house had the power go out they were able to get someone out to help me on a holiday weekend., Mitch was knowledgeable, professional, and able to explain what he was doing and get my house up and running in no time, and it was much more cost effective than I was expecting.

We have had these folks at our home for three jobs. This is the kind of company we love to work with. They are organized, professional, competent from the first phone contact thru completion of the work. We have had 3 different service people and all were competent and delightful to have in our home.

Ive used McBride quite a few times to run electrical for my customers when I sell them a new compressor. I would strongly recommend their service. Theyre always on time, communicate well, fair pricing, and quality work. Ive never had an issue and Brook is great to work with.

Jared:I just wanted to take a moment of your time to give you some feedback on Manny, Mitch and Steven. Manny, Mitch and Steven have been exceptional. They are all very professional in their work ethic and friendly to the residents and staff. They have gone above and beyond to check in when they arrive and when they leave, making sure to keep me informed of the areas they will be working in on any given day. It’s not often that people take the time to let a supervisor know when their staff is doing good, we mostly here the bad, so I think it is important that you hear how great they are. Please let them know that I appreciate that.Thank youJennifer Brewer

I have had McBride out to my home on 4 occasions over the past 18 years. They replaced the panel in order to install an AC unit in the beginning. We also needed a 220 installed for the New stove. Later they came out to up grade my electrical system on 2 occasions. They were very timely professional and did an excellent job. I would always recommend them.

I asked for cost to get permission from the business owner before giving the go ahead to replace a bulb. My cost was $55. The driver that gave the quote and was doing the work even waited while I called the business owner and gave him the $55 quote. Environmental fee, labor fees and travel fees are not included and brings my total to about $200. Why would this not be mentioned? This is the number I needed to get the go ahead for. This is a very shady business practice! After speaking on the phone to management Im told I should have known I was going to pay extra travel and labor fees. Doesnt seem to understand that as a customer I only know what the business tells me. You are not surprised by my response. You are a liar and a crook.

Worst experience. I am an ADT customer. ADT hires 3rd party electricians in Denver, CO to come out to their customers houses to replace light switches for ADT pulse because the ADT tech is not a licensed electrician. The appointment is set for first call 8 am (no window) and the appointment was made 5 days in advance. The ADT tech is on time but no one from McBride Electric shows up. The ADT tech and I waited 1.5 hours for the electrician. The ADT tech called McBride several times and was given the same answer each time the electrician will be there in 30 minutes. I myself, the ADT customer, called McBride after waiting 2 hours, to speak to their scheduling person, who is the manager named Brooke and I tape recorded the call. Brooke says their computers didnt sync so the electrician didnt know he was supposed to be at my house at 8 am from an appointment set 5 days ago! Brooke didnt offer an apology and was just rude about the entire situation - he could care less. McBride is an electrician who cant operate computers or show up for appointments. Brooke hung up on me when I complained about waiting 2 hours for like any reasonable person would have done especially since the ADT tech was told several times the electrician is 30 minutes out-which was a lie. McBride doesnt call ADT or me EVER to give us updates that they are going to be late. I dont know how they will be in business much longer with these business practices. After Brooke hung up on me the ADT tech and I dumbly waited 30 more mins for McBride, then the ADT electrician called McBride again, for the 4th time now, asking where they were and the lady at McBride said oh werent not coming out now because we are scared of your customer (me). So, if you are looking for an electrician, who doesnt show ever show up, doesnt tell you that they arent coming, hangs up on customers and could care less that you sit there 2.5 hours waiting for them then please call McBride Electric. Brooke said he expects his customers to have to sit around for hours waiting for them to show up. The ADT tech was 3 hours behind for the rest of the ADT customers scheduled for that day because of McBride and McBride lost business. That shows you how smart they arent. But the good news is ADT will use a different electrician to come back out to my house. I am telling everyone that asks me not to use McBride as an electrician. Word of mouth and reputation is everything. Please note McBride Electric is not in any of the top good reviewed electrician companies, they aren’t on Tom Martino’s referral list, etc. Go to these referral lists to find outstanding electrician companies with hundreds of great reviews constantly over the years. Electricians that do show up on time. McBride blames the customer for them not showing up, or being hours late with no heads up to their customer, so pathetic. Do your research before you hire this company.

This company was amazing. I had an emergency situation and they were able to come out to me immediately to fix the problem. Derek was very nice and was able to solve all of the problems we had in the house plus discovered an issue that the home inspector missed. I will be using this company again in the future and recommend them very highly.

McBride Lighting and Electrical recently completed an exterior lighting retrofit at a shopping center I own in Parker, CO. Brett and Manny were very good to work with and the project came out better than I was expecting. I highly recommend working with McBride for your lighting/electrical needs.

They gave me an estimate to replace my electrical panel, which I accepted. It took a month or so to pass the inspection because of a couple of small issues, but they came out and resolved the issues. The finished work looks great. Very happy with the outcome.

We just finished a lighting project with McBride. Our crew was Mitch, and David, and Brett put the job together. They did a super job! There were some things about the job that turned out to be pretty difficult, and they just kept on working until they got it done! Thanks, guysKen Dawdy, Minister, Dahlia St. Church of Christ, Denver

I cant say more positive things about McBride Lighting and the employees working there. I had some lighting work done inside and out of my home and they did a wonderful job. The fixtures were old and it was dark and gloomy inside, but having them switched out to LED I can finally see and dont feel like Im living in a black hole. During the install, Dayne was respectful, courteous and kind and certainly knew what he was doing. The manager, Jared, was helpful in answering all of my question and was priced very reasonably. Their work looks great and Im so happy I chose McBride Lighting to give my home a facelift!!

We are a non-profit outdoor inline hockey rink and league that supports growing inline hockey in Boulder County. The folks at McBride were fantastic in their flexibility with a payment schedule for our non-profit. They made every effort to give us the flexibility so we could do the project. They replaced the 45 foot pole we had and installed lighting that is perfect for our location. They accommodated our schedule and were respectful of our property. Cant ask for anything more when spending this kind of money. Thank you McBride Lighting.

My general contractor suggested McBride Lighting & Electric.I called on a Thursday and left a VM. Although in a hurry to hire an electrician, got a call back from Scott 3 days later who said he could come out for the quote the following Monday at 10:00am and then they could start the work at the end of the week - the same week. WONDERFUL!The day of the appointment, I head to work which consists of preparing a facility for dogs to show up, meeting with and chatting with clients who are dropping dogs off, ensuring my staff are there, on time, and doing what they should be doing, as well as in good spirits. I am VERY busy and not on my phone or on my computer at this time, and often unable to answer a call if someone calls in.During this time, Scott called me twice to confirm our appointment - once at 8:50am and another time at 9:16am. This is all fine and good, except no one told me that 1) I would be getting a confirmation call the morning of the appointment and 2) if I did not answer they would not come. So guess what - Scott did not show up because the soonest I was able to check my messages and call him back was at 9:55am.Upon reaching him, he was in the process of standing in line to get a permit from the City and County of Denver for another client, rather than being in route to meet for our appointment. He told me it is their policy to not show if they call and dont get an answer. As I told him my situation, and why I had not answered my phone or could even call him back, he said he would be willing to come but could not get there until 11am as he was in the process of getting a permit and was 6th in line, and unfortunately since I did not answer my phone he could not come sooner. I proceeded to tell him that my day is booked and my next appointment is at 11am, so he asked about my afternoon or rescheduling completely.The problem was, my week is booked out with appointments until the end of the week and time is of essence (we needed the electrician doing work by the end of the week), but I did feel I could move appointments around. However, because Scott kept giving me excuses about why he did not show, argued with me about why he did not communicate the policy ahead of time so I would know to look for his call and answer it (or give a call back), and was clear about the value of the permit being more important of a task than meeting with me - I felt it would be best to see if I could work with someone else at McBride. So I called in to see if I could get a different representative from the company to work with and got Scotts supervisor.I did not get this gentlemans name, but he too confirmed their policy and said it was unfortunate that I did not answer my call. I told him that I was with clients and did not recognize the number, for which he told me I should have just answered the call regardless or should have called right back - BLAMING ME for the missed appointment, when no one told me the rules of not answering my phone and confirming an appointment.Normally professionals will call 24 hours in advance to confirm an appointment OR tell you the rules of not confirming an appointment if a call is made and not answered. NONE OF THIS WAS DONE! If ANYONE at McBride Electric would have communicated the rules of confirming an appointment I would have been able to accommodate a solution - even if that meant me calling them at 7am when my day started to let them know we were still on. Both Scott and his supervisor argued with me, blamed me, and treated me like it was my loss for not answering my phone.This experience was frustrating, belittling, stressful, unfair, and unprofessional.Given the lack of respect, consideration, and empathy when I finally got in touch with them, in addition to the lack of communication in letting their clients know about the rules, the superior & unyielding attitude towards me, and over all lack of care for a potential client - I have no desire to work with this company and would NEVER recommend them to ANYONE!

Review №41

They showed up when they said they would. And even made an appointment for me on very short notice. So that was very nice.With that said - that is about the extent of the good they did. The electrician moved 2 light switches for us, less than 4 feet away. Sounds simple enough, for a licensed electrician, right? Apparently not. I had to call them back to come out again today to fix the fact that the light switches were not working. Had to take another hour and a half out of my day to go back and meet the electrician again. In the meantime, my contractors that were working on the drywall had to stop what they were doing...again....and stand around and wait for an hour while the electrician fixed what he messed up yesterday.They charge around $75 per hour (plus a trip charge) - and they bill you $75 per hour for the 15 minutes they are sitting in their van talking on the phone, and writing up your bill. It cost over $250, just to move 2 light switches less than 4 feet away. That is excessive, in my opinion.So, I called Brook, who I assume is the manager or owner to complain, and was offered $50 compensation...for the 1.5 hours of work that I missed from work going home to meet the electrician again, and the hour my contractors wasted standing around waiting for the electrician to fix what he screwed up yesterday. And apparently I hurt his feelers, being snarky, about wasting my time. Poor guy. If you use McBridges $75 per hour rule, then the 2.5 hours wasted by me and the contractor, we should have been reimbursed $187.50.Unless you have nothing better to do with your life then sit around while McBridge fixes their errors, I would look for a different electrical service to use.

Do not consider using this company for any reason! After questioning them about my invoice I was told all the charges were standard industry charges. I called 6 other local electricians and not one charged what McBride charges for. They all have slightly different rates and some are flat fees and some are time and parts but none charge to have the electrician come to the job, go to the hardware store twice, take a 45 minute lunch, not complete the work completely, and then write up the invoice. All while the electrician just kept talking and talking. He actually only worked for 2 hours but I was charged 4.75 hours of labor (4 on-site labor hours and 3/4 hr for traveling to the job which is in town and was not a special trip). McBride charged me $88/hr to do all of these things for a simple and routine hot tub install. I confirmed with the other companies that a hot tub install based on my situation of not needing to do any panel upgrade and only needing 20 of line max is a job in the low hundreds. McBride charged me $1,081 after telling me on the phone and at my house before starting work that the job would be $500. After calling to complain the person I spoke with was rude and argumentative.
