“What started my service request, was the need for an installation. I had removed my kitchen island, And want to replace the wire coming out of my foundation with a floor outlet. They came in, drilled out the floor area, and installed the box. It was not the easiest task, and they did it efficiently, and I love how the install looks. While they were here, we discussed an issue I've been having with my washer and dryer. He took a look, we tested some things out and he ended up replacing the breaker and fixing the issue. Prior to the job, we discussed the issue at length, and they came in prepared, and did great work. Extremely knowledgeable, and skilled. I highly recommend for your projects. You will not be disappointed.”

“Ken Gilhousen services deserves 10 stars ⭐️. They are very professional, on time, and the outcome installation was beautiful. I had a chandler installed and the guys done a remarkable job. I will definitely pass on their information to my family/friends. Thank you Ken Gilhousen for your services!!”

“I had Ken out for a quote recently along with another large and prominent local electrical business. The job was originally supposed to be for installation of a high voltage outlet for a speed oven, but in the course of evaluating the installation it was discovered that my breaker panel needed to be replaced. What should have been a moderately complex single outlet installation unexpectedly turned into a major electrical repair. His pricing came in at about half the cost of the larger business for better quality work and the same materials used in the job. Additionally, his plan for the installation was much, much less destructive to my home. His quote also included drywall repair services where the quote from the other business would have left me with extensive patching to do on my own and a lot of holes in my walls and ceilings. He asks thoughtful questions and truly tries to take into consideration your current needs, as well as your future needs, without trying to upsell or add on services you don't need. I felt like he really cared about making sure my home was left in the best condition possible. His work is neat, tidy, and very professionally done. The drywall repair contra”

“Ken and his team came out to our home and did a GREAT job installing our new electrical panel. My husband and i are so pleased with the work they performed. I'm most impressed with the professionalism and courtesy they showed the entire time. We have other projects that are on deck for them to do. We highly recommend them for all types of works and repairs. We definitely will be utilizing him and his team in the very near future. Thank you so much for a job well done!”

“Ken is by far one of the most professional people I have worked with. Ken was able to give me a fair estimate after a brief phone call and after providing him with a few pictures. He was able to come out on time the very next morning and completed the job quickly. Ken was very clear about what he was going to do and was receptive to my requests. The job was done quickly and neatly and I am very satisfied with the work. Gilhousen is now my go to for any electrical needs. Thanks Ken!”

“Ken did a really great job. He provided an estimate for my original request which was very reasonable. He is very flexible and willing to help and fixed two additional electrical projects the same day. When I had an issue with the ceiling fan wire, he even met me at Home Depot to make sure I was buying the right thing. He is very calm and professional and I would definitely hire him again for additional work.”

“Ken is very professional and honest in explaining his work. He gave me the best quote for the job way better than other electrical contractors in town and did a very good job in installing new outlet and wiring for my new electric vehicle. I’ll definitely recommend Ken and his company to anyone needing electrical services. I’ll definitely give him and his company a 5 star ratings .”

“Ken was wonderful to work with. He contacted me shortly after my inquiry and came out the next day to look at project and provide estimate. We had him come back the next day to complete. This was install of new exterior outlet. He repaired existing conduit, all looks great! Ken is professional, very skilled, and provides high level services. Would definitely recommend and use again.”

“I have worked with many contractors over the years and have had many different experiences. But I’ve never had a contractor whose work, professionalism, and regard for a customer exceeded the experience I had with this electrician. Although the cost of installing the outside light fixtures was very competitive with other quotes I received to say the least, the quality of work that he did for me far exceeded the cost he charged me. He really left an indelible impression on my mind. What was interesting was although we come from different ethnic backgrounds, Ken made me feel like family. His services are incredible! He’s exceptionally skilled in his craft. You want regret using his company for all your electrical projects!!!”

“A pleasant experience working with Gilhosen, licensed and highly skilled. Gave me a honest estimate, offering me a solution that did not necessarily make the most money for him. Did a great job installing me a new electrical panel with added interlocking switch for my generator. Even with a not so perfect a weather, he creatively made it work to ensure that the job was completed on time. Very courteous and professional. I highly recommend Ken for all your electrical jobs. I will be using his services from now on.”

“Ken has provided Fantastic service, was professional, reliable and efficient. Turned up when promised, carried out all works with a professional attitude. Highly recommended. . He explained the works which he would be undertaking prior to commencing and went over the works on completion along with a demonstration on the operation of the charger. Overall could not fault the service received from Ken from initial contact through to installation excellent !!!”

“Ken and his team are phenomenal! They got the job done as promised. Ken was very patient and answered all my questions. It was a smooth process from the time I was quoted for the job till completion. I am very pleased and highly recommend using their services! I will definitely be using this company again!”

“Ken did excellent job of replacing my electric power distribution board with circuit breakers. He also installed Tesla wall charger at the same time. The workmanship is nice and clean. Highly recommend.”

“Had a wonderful experience, would highly recommend! I had several projects and Ken communicated with me through text and email to make sure he had all the details and he was addressing my projects and would have materials needed. His work was done efficiently and he is very tidy- clean everything up and put items he needed to move back in place. Took pictures of all projects and sent with invoice. Showed me additional items of concern he found but did not pressure me to fix. Explained the problems and let me decide how to proceed. Highly satisfied, would highly recommend!”

“Ken always responded in good time to text messages/emails. Pricing was a bit high, but not out of the ballpark. I could tell he was going to install a high-quality product, which he did, so my decision was based more on quality that low-cost. The team arrived on time to do a full outdoor electrical panel replacement in addition to installing a new circuit run (half in conduit) for a car charger in my garage on the other side of my house. They completed both parts of the job in one day.”

“I highly recommend Gilhousen, LLC, for all your electrical needs! Ken is knowledgeable about the latest safety upgrades and highly skilled. His professionalism and courtesy are above par. Ken installed recessed lighting in the kitchen and living room for us when we remodeled about twenty years ago. I contacted Ken again because the lighting in the den was poor and archaic. I was amazed that he was able to install more recessed ceiling lighting since the crawl space in the den was about the size of a rabbit hole, but he did it! The light is brilliant and so is he! I feel safer now, also, because Ken replaced our breaker box with a new electrical panel board surge protector for the whole house. I plan to have him do more upgrades soon.”

“I contacted Ken a Thursday night and he was prompt he answered and came the following day to our home and address the issue. He instantly gave us and appointment to come and do the job on a Sunday. Ken and his team got the job done excellently and promptly and not to mention for a great price.”

“These guys arrived on time, completed a driveway joint repair, installation of two hanging kitchen lights and a ring flood light in 6 hours… and for an awesome price! I will totally use them again! We were very impressed with their work ethic and professionalism, something you don’t see anymore.”

“Great company! GILHOUSEN was quick to respond to my voicemail. Everything was done over the phone as far as the estimate and where I needed my light fixtures placed. The day of they were on time and very informative. They were quick and cleaned up after. I’ll be sure to use them again for any of my electrical needs. Highly recommend.”

“Ken and Mike were on time , very neat while in our house. His pricing was better and than the 2 quote we got. We reached out to 3 other companies, but they never return our text messages. Ken even responded on Sunday. I will definitely use him in the future. ,”
