Ed got back to me quickly and was on site within a day or two. He quickly diagnosed the problems in three rooms and resolved it. He discovered other issues that he can fix before they become bigger ones down the road. Great service.

Owner's reply
Thank you, Len! I’m glad we could respond quickly, diagnose the electrical issues in all three rooms, and get everything working properly. I also appreciate the opportunity to identify those other concerns before they develop into larger problems. Thank you for choosing Benchmark Home Services!

I asked Ed and Kirill to give me an estimate for a project. They arrived early, were very thorough, and most importantly--extremely honest. I truly appreciated their experience and candor. Great to find honest craftsmen!

Owner's reply
Cynthia, thank you so much for the kind review. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Knob-and-tube wiring in Seattle homes can bring up a lot of questions, and our goal is always to give clear, honest information so homeowners can make the right decision for their property. It was a pleasure meeting with you, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to help. Thanks, Ed

Ed was great. He came to our service on very short notice and am incredibly appreciative of his support and knowledge regarding our electrical questions when buying a new home. He gave us the peace of mind that our house was in great shape electrically speaking. Thank you so much Ed, I’m looking forward to having you help us in the future with our electrician needs.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much for the kind words, Adam. It was a pleasure helping you on short notice and answering your electrical questions during such an important step in buying your new home. I’m glad we could give you peace of mind, and we truly appreciate you trusting Benchmark Home Services Inc. We look forward to helping you again whenever you need us.

I’ve always been the kind of person who tries to figure things out myself. When two basement lighting circuits stopped working in my older house, I spent hours checking breakers, switches, wiring, and tracing the problem with a multimeter. The strange part was that the outlets still worked, which sent me down more than a few dead ends and had me questioning my own diagnosis. Eventually, I called Benchmark. What stood out right away was their methodical approach. Rather than guessing or replacing parts unnecessarily, they took the time to listen to what I had already investigated, ran their own tests, and systematically worked through the possibilities. Their experience was obvious from the start. The issue turned out to be a detached neutral in the attic wiring, something I likely never would have discovered on my own. What had become a frustrating and confusing problem for me was diagnosed quickly and repaired correctly. Just as important, they explained both the cause and the solution in clear, straightforward terms. It’s reassuring to know there are still professionals who combine technical expertise with honest, thoughtful service. The next time I need electrical work, I know who I’m calling.

Owner's reply
Shane, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review here as well. We really appreciate the detailed feedback and the opportunity to help with the lighting circuits in your Burien home. Older-home electrical troubleshooting can be tricky, especially when part of the system is still working and the usual checks do not point directly to the issue. We’re glad our team was able to take a methodical approach, listen to the troubleshooting you had already done, locate the detached neutral in the attic wiring, and get everything repaired properly. We appreciate your kind words about our communication, honesty, and service. Thank you again for trusting Benchmark Home Services — we’ll be happy to help whenever you need electrical work in the future. -Ed

Shane, thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. We really appreciate you walking through what happened and giving us the chance to help with your Burien home. Intermittent or partial lighting issues in older homes can be frustrating, especially when outlets are still working and the obvious checks do not point to the problem. We’re glad our team was able to build on the troubleshooting you had already done, track down the detached neutral in the attic wiring, and get the circuits repaired correctly. Clear diagnosis, honest troubleshooting, and straightforward explanations are exactly what we aim for on residential electrical repair calls. Thank you again for trusting Benchmark. We’ll be happy to help the next time you need electrical work. -Ed

Ed was great to work with and offered quick advice and work in my Seattle home! Ed was friendly, quick to respond, and offered practical help and didn't try to oversell for services that I didn't need. I will use him again when my next need pops up.

Owner's reply
Hi David, thank you so much for the fantastic 5-star review! It was a pleasure working with you on the electrical inspection for your Seattle home. At Benchmark, my goal is always to provide straightforward, honest advice and practical solutions without any unnecessary upselling.

Ed was great at coming out and diagnosing the issue quickly. The team was courteous and so friendly. Once the issue with our floor heating was diagnosed they were willing to answer any odd questions I had and gave us a good idea of what to expect in terms of next steps! I highly recommend working with his crew

Owner's reply
Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re glad Ed was able to come out quickly, diagnose the floor heating issue, and help explain the next steps clearly. We also really appreciate you mentioning the team’s courtesy and friendliness — that means a lot to us. Thanks again for recommending Benchmark Home Services!

Mr Electric did a great job on my EV charging circuit for my car. James and Josy were a great team for my situation. James assessed the work required and Josy got me a quote within a day or so. I okayed the quote and Josy and team were shockingly fast and next thing I know, James is ready to come do the installation. I was charged up because this was amazingly fast, like high electron flow to get from quote to start work so quickly, no resistance at all. James brought everything he needed to do the job quickly. He had to pull in 4 large HV wires for 150 ft and add breakers and GFCI, and J-boxes and connectors. What I thought would take much longer was done by the afternoon. Shockingly quick I think. James was very helpful in explaining exactly what was to be done and working hard to get it done. Josy was extremely helpful in dealing with all the logistics of quoting, scheduling, ordering and making me feel like a customer that mattered and helping me get my EV power upgrade quickly with what I needed. I appreciate the Mr Electric team (James and Josy), and will recommend them and go to Mr Electric should I need more electrical work. Thanks to Mr Electric for a shockingly good and fast job. I’m charged up now, they get 5 sparks. Theron Page

I had an electrical issue with my microwave, it kept randomly tripping off despite nothing seeming to be wrong with it. I contacted Benchmark, and they had Ed and a couple guys up at my place within an hour. They were friendly, polite, knowledgeable, and efficient. They tested the circuit, determined the issue was a faulty breaker, and had it swapped out in 15 minutes, for a total visit time of about 30 minutes. The cost of the visit was reasonable, and they were very upfront and direct about it, and mercifully they made no attempt to upsell anything. Overall, it was exactly what I was hoping for. I've got their information saved, and I'll be contacting them next time I have any need for an electrician.

Owner's reply
Thanks so much for the 5-star review, Evan — we really appreciate you taking the time to write it. I’m glad our team could get out to you quickly and track the issue down to a faulty breaker. We try to keep things simple: show up fast, diagnose accurately, fix it efficiently, and be completely upfront on pricing with zero pressure. If anything else ever comes up (microwave circuit or anything else), don’t hesitate to reach out. — Ed, Benchmark Seattle
