Bayless Electric

"I rarely take time to do Yelp reviews unless service is truly bad. BAYLESS Electric's service for me truly qualifies as really bad, My advice is to stay away from this very unprofessional company. 1) Poor communication and follow through on making the appointment in the first place that took close to six months and several phone calls and reminders. 2)Unagreed elements of cost being included in a cost plus contract (significant drive time from off island location and hours of an apprentice on site without adequate supervision to complete the work). 3)Poor execution and inefficient work practices. They sent out an apprentice who was unable to execute the work without the journeyman. The journeyman arrived several hours late while the apprentice waited. 4)Poor communication in the administrative matters of getting questions answered regarding issues with billing. 5)Poor communication and sloppy billing procedures (no mailing address included on your bill) inability to pay by phone. They sent a workmen showing up unannounced to collect bills. I told him I refused until my billing questions were answered. The then asked me to deliver checks in person to job site where employees were working. I did this and the employees had left the job site. SO UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Greg and his team fully set us up at Dancing Fish Vineyards with the generators we needed to stay open when the power goes out. An old property means old and weird electrical. Not anymore! Updated and ready for anything! The work was top notch, Greg and his team incredibly knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to work with. Thanks Bayless Electric!"

"Unlike some reviewers of this business I am not a stranger to working with building trade contractors. Greg and his crew are as good as it gets. I found Bayless Electric through Generac's local contractor listing. I have owned Generac standby generators for over 20 years and wanted to install one as a replacement to a defunct generator at a home I purchased in Anacortes. From the outset, Greg was responsive, organized and punctual. I had him work up an estimate to replace the generator and transfer switch, as well as wrecking out some existing baseboard heaters, installing some lighting, and replacing the existing main service entrance breaker panel, which panel just looked, let's say "funky" to me and was a brand I had never heard of. When it came time to complete the work, Greg's crew were equally prompt and professional. During the installation, the home, which was built in the eighties, revealed a number of other "funky" features requiring change orders (one example: defunct yard spot lights wired directly into a feeder cable). The options to deal with these changes were clearly explained and I felt that the result was a simpler system with some very worthwhile and practical improvements. The pricing was also quite reasonable for these changes. Even more impressive, I plan to remodel a garage apartment that came with the home sometime soon. When I do, I know who I will call to do the electrical work. I'm very happy to have found a first rate local electrician!"

"To start out, I know zippo about electricity other than how to plug something in. When the plugs in my garage quit I was at a loss so I called Greg at Bayless Electric. Greg returned my call within minutes and very quickly explained to me what to do to fix the problem. The GFI needed resetting. Although the phone call was short it was still time out of his busy day. Folks, this is what customer service is all about. He gained a lifetime customer. Thank you. Doug Smith"

"Greg is the the only electrician that we will allow to work on our house! He is professional, knowledgeable, and on time. Despite being very busy, he always seems to find time to squeeze us in when we need some work done. He saved our house from the poor quality work of a fly-by night electrician and helped us install our electric heated floors, along with many other lighting and power needs. While not the cheapest electrical contractor, his work is definitely worth every penny we spent and you get what you pay for. Will definitely use him again."
