Super nice and obviously knowledgable team!
Lynn H., Wake Forest November 2026
I now know why Roy Electric is rated so well. Alex and Juan arrived promptly. They completed the work and were in communication with me (homeowner) when questions came up. The work discussed was the work completed. They installed two exterior lights, an outlet, and a multi-use switch.
One of the exterior lights was over 20 feet up, and they had the ladders to do this work. They cleaned up each work site. And the work was more than reasonable; in fact, I thought they undercharged for the level of care and workmanship. I wish I had more work to give them. Reliable. Reasonable. Excellent.
N (., Durham November 2026
Outstanding work at a reasonable price. Guys were prompt, professional and efficient as they went about their work. They cleaned up after they finished and I couldn't be more pleased. Would highly recommend these guys.
