Pat Murphy Electric, Inc.,

is one of the best electrical contractors identified in our research and is a Home Reports Best Pick for the ninth consecutive year. The company, which was founded in 1982, is now owned and operated by Guy Roberts. Guy is a third-generation Master Electrician, who has more than 31 years of electrical experience. The company's 40+ employees are uniformed and well trained, and all service technicians travel in well-equipped vehicles with 400+ different electrical items in stock. Pat Murphy Electric is known for its flat-rate pricing. As Guy points out, "Flat-rate pricing is popular with homeowners. The technician provides the homeowner a fixed price for the job before the work ever starts. If the technician takes longer than expected or doesn't have the right part, the homeowner doesn't pay more." Pat Murphy Electric is a drug-free company, carries both workers' compensation insurance and liability insurance, accepts major credit cards, and offers 24-hour emergency service. As Guy says, "Over 70% of our customers are repeat or come from referrals, which proves that we live by our slogan: 'Exceptional service is our standard.'"
