Sims & Sons Electric and Plumbing

Roland F.

Darrell and his team are the gold standard in my eyes. They are professional, transparent, and, most importantly, they will work with you in all three stages of the service call, starting with clearly outlining the problem, going through various options, and lastly, being willing to work with you if unforeseen issues arise. This is a company I highly recommend to anyone getting (for me ) plumbing services done, but I am sure the electrical side is handled with the same level of professionalism. Sims and Sons made a difficult situation for me easier to handle; This company is definitely on my speed dial.

Thanks, Darell, Mike & Alex

The service was wonderful however I was over charged for services that were not needed. I knew what the issue was, and they still chose to look at my tub last which was the cause of the power surge. I was charged for the opening and closing of 7 outlets that had nothing to do with the issue when the smoke came out of the tub. At the end of the day, my tub is disconnected, my circuit breakers (that had unknown water damage) was replaced, and 7!!!""receptacles and trim plates"" were taken off and put back on.

*I did update this review from a 3 to a 5 because they did reach out to me and adjust the over charge. They truly are a great company.

Called their main line- left a message. Received a text since it was a Sunday and was able to set up an appointment.
They texted to confirm the day before and gave us a time window.

They showed up early and asked if they should wait to come in. Very polite.

They came in and got straight to work. Fixed our wires in our junction box, hung a new light, new dimmer and made sure the breaker wasn't being tripped by the wires that were in the junction box.
420 was the total price.

They were quick and didn't leave a trace that they had been there except the new fixture. Will use them again when we are ready for more work to be done.

I was in search of someone to help with a EV charging setup in my garage. After a friend installed an outlet I wanted to have peace of mind in double checking. Daryl the owner and his brother came out for an estimate and ended up just taking the time to fix it right there on the spot. They were friendly, informative and took the time impromptu to make sure I had a solution right then and there. Everything has been working great since and I will highly recommend.

We needed some work on our variable light switch that quick working in the bathroom. Darrell came right over and fixed the wiring very quickly. He also noted that one of the toggles wasn't working so he fixed that to. Very well trusted and knows his stuff!!

I own some old properties that have had questionable configurations of the electrical infrastructure over the years by previous owners. So when I need work done, I know it's going to be complicated and will likely provide some surprises. Darrell's technician worked his way through it all and, despite the extra time involved, they provided everything at a very reasonable price. It's clear to me this is a company that wants my future business and is willing to go the extra mile to get it. And they will!

Two days in a row of NO SHOW appointments, even with confirmed texts and speaking directly to the owner.

Circuit breaker had issue. Called Darrell and he had guys out right away. Anel, Christian, Graham, and Romero were out and identified the problem and had it fixed right away. Price was on point and would definitely contact them again for any electrical needs!

I have hired Sims & Sons for multiple jobs at this point, my first encounter with Darrell (who I now know is the owner) was him coming out to provide an estimate on my pending home purchase (at the time) of an over 100 year old home and bringing its electrical and plumbing up to date. Though Darrell new everything about everything and walked me through everything that was wrong, including options to resolve. At the time, I took that as him trying to oversell me, and only gave his crew a small part of what I wanted to get done, hiring other companies that turned out to be awful for most of the work.

The day after purchasing this home and 3 days before my family moved in, I needed major updates. While closing, Darrell called to see if we could postpone our work, I stated the urgency with my family moving in that coming weekend, he said let me figure it out and called back shortly to say he moved the other jobs, but needs to do all the work in one day, which I agreed to. That next day, 8 pickup trucks and vans showed up out front, with a dozen people exiting vehicles grabbing tools and supplies with Darrell out front directing the entire crew to perfection. The HVAC owner, showing up later for their HVAC install said ""I felt intimidated seeing them work"".

After working with his crews more, Darrell knows a lot, and wants to share that knowledge, he will attend seminars on new plumbing or electrical technology to learn about water pressure or what is coming with solar power to inform his customers. This guy literally geeks out on this stuff, totally changing my perception of the industry. I took a few days off work right after buying the home and just talked with him about everything as I wanted to learn what I can. I went into buying this home wanting to do whatever work I could myself and here was a person willing to teach me while his crews took care of the work way beyond my capability.

I have led $100 million dollar, years long IT projects and was truly impressed with how well Darrell knew every component of the job, he is young, but has already done every aspect of the job, though an owner he will still get his hands dirty to ensure the work is done right. He was immediately able to deploy his crew to every aspect, respond to new issues as we opened walls and stay on time and on budget throughout. Other contractors constantly need to run back to Home Depot for parts, but Sims comes prepared, with a plan, instead of winging it like I have seen with other groups.

Every time Darrell gave me a quote for the new scope of work, my first reaction has always been ""holy shit"". But every time I have went with other service providers to save money, in the short time I have owned the home, I have already needed others to come fix the problems they cut corners on to keep their costs down. Though the sticker shock is often big, every time I see the number of people coming for full days (often 10, 12 hours) performing the work, I will try to calculate the costs out with labor / supplies and wonder how they are making money.

I don't write reviews often, my initial thought of Sims & Sons, came from a perception that contractors will try to screw you over, but after working with their crews, I will never use anyone else.
