If you Google ‘residential electrical contractors’ to fix an outlet or get a new main panel or car charger, you will have many companies to choose from.

And when those companies all claim to be Seattle’s #1 residential electrical contractor, how do you know which company is the right one for your project?

Naturally, we want to say Evergreen State Electrical Services (ESES) is the best provider in Puget Sound! We think we’re great and so do both Google 5-Star and the Better Business Bureau. Our reviews are regularly amongst the highest in the industry and many of our customers can confirm this!

And while we would love the opportunity to help you out, that doesn’t automatically make us the best fit for you. Every contractor has their own niche within the industry.

We are passionate about educating potential prospects and customers about the residential electrical industry to make sure they can find the right company for their needs. We identified the top eight (8) residential electrical companies by size in our market area for you to research. We spent hours investigating each company’s license history, online reviews, websites, services offered, BBB accreditation, and when they started business in the local area. All so that you don’t have to!

For those of you who do not know about Evergreen, we will do a review of ourselves to start off as a comparison:

A Little About Evergreen State Electrical Services (ESES)

After being in business since 1968, and locally owned by Russ & Pam Kimball since 1998, we would be remiss if we didn’t tell you Evergreen is a good fit for. While things like our 5.0 Google rating, and an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau are important, that doesn’t tell you if you’re a good fit. You should consider Evergreen if you are looking for a company who:

• Exceptional workmanship at a reasonable price.
• Has the best warranty in the industry.
• Will help you design the system to meet your exact needs.

Our goal is to help make your dreams a reality! Please reach out to us to discuss the process further. We can schedule a time for our electricians to visit your residence.  They will walk you through the process of designing and planning all the details that are needed to make your home comfortable!
