Basement reno

Over 2 winters we finished our basement. The first winter Watson electrical did the lower wiring (switches, plugs, etc). The 2nd winter we finished the ceiling and called Watson back to wire the potlights. They did a great job both times and we can absolutely recommend their work. Professional, neat and fair pricing.

Install two security lights and check wiring on dryer plug

Very happy with Watson electrical for the tasks completed for us. Their price estimate was fair and straight forward. David communicated with me through home stars to answer my questions.

They were on time for the appointment and completed the tasks efficiently to our satisfaction. We will be calling on Watson electrical for future electrical work with confidence.

Thank you.

Trust. End of Story

This was a very small stop for Jim. But it's only the most recent in thousands of dollars of jobs we had him and the Watson Electrical team do over the years. It was a "look see" stop. Half an hour later it was a job done.

We call Watson Electrical first, every time because, frankly we trust Jim, Brad, and the whole team implicitly. (And you really want to trust that the electrical work is right, don't you?)

Install electrical panel and reconnect all existing circuits

Both electricians were professional, polite. Looking at the work, I can see it is very well done, very neat and together. Although a big job which took a whole 8 hours and more, at the end they took the time to make sure that everything on the request was addressed. Before leaving, they cleared and cleaned up after themselves leaving no waste behind. I will recommend Watson Electrical to everyone asking for a referral for electrical services. Thank you so much.

Electrical work in preparation for a kitchen install

Had three electricians I found on Homestar to quote on a day's work and they all were within $100 of each other so I picked Watson's as Jim Watson was very personable and straightforward when he came to provide the quote. Who doesn't like the owner of a 30 year company still working with clients? No attitude about how far we lived out of the city core (which another contractor did) and fast quote. They arrived on time, worked very organized, cleaned up the debris as they worked and answered a query I had after the job within the same day. Would recommend to anyone.

Outdoor sauna and EV charge station

We had a great experience with this company. They were careful running the wiring through the house and out into the backyard. They ran a 20 ft. line to the sauna and did a great job on a not-straight- forward project. They also hooked up a box that will supply a new EV station. Jim and the guys were very thorough and professional. Thanks!

Check Various Electrical Issues Rental Property

Had the fine gentleman at Watson Electrical come by, as per my conversations with David Watson. They managed to fix the wiring issue with the chandelier in the sun room with zero hassle. They also went above and beyond to check every breaker in the unit, and gave me sound advice in regards to breakers and circuitry. Not to mention, David has given me additional advice free of charge for other units!

Install a plug and switch for undercabinet lighting

Watson Electrical was my first call and they are highly recommended. The electricians arrived prompt and took time to listen to my needs. As the owner of a century home, they took the time to understand the nuances before beginning the work. They were friendly throughout and the work was professionally done.
