  A Wilkins Electric (family business) for my 1,905 sq ft small business kitchen build out, bid $19,500, hit with final additional charges of $8,697.42 grand total $28,197.42. I was told, not asked and no discussion about final charges. I was told if the final charges were not paid, he would file whatever so I couldn’t get an occupancy permit and/or file a lien against the property owner. Never discussed with me, no prior notice, I made a few changes to electrical, I was present every single day, well aware of what was being complete. I was present for every inspection, and walked along with each inspector, I even had certified architectural drawings that everyone received well in advance. A Wilkins electric worked past 4 pm once maybe 2 times, started at 9, 9:30 am, no weekends and no pressure from me. Most of the additional charges were for the demo work that was clearly printed in the drawings, simply removing wiring no longer in use, because new runs were going in place. 1, one item was flagged tethering 20 lights to the ceiling, that prior electrician did not do, that was it. $8,697.42 in additional charges. There were no permit issues, I did the bldg permits and nearly all of the other permits myself, no problems at all. Additionally as the small business owner there were ceiling penetrations, quite wide, left open, never sealed off, never closed up as the certified drawings specifically mentioned they were to be closed up. Also electrical ductwork for the kitchen exhaust fan never sealed, rain water leaked into my commercial kitchen space and I had to pay roofers $175 to correct. Problem with 220 receptacle, emailed A Wilkins Electric in February 2025, never a word back. Didn’t matter I tipped the only onsite electrician $200 as a small thank you. Note to myself to never do again, under any circumstances until all work and all billing is completed.

  Easy and fast to schedule, our needs were addressed quickly and efficiently. He made suggestions for future considerations that were helpful but not pushy.

  EXCELLENT company! Wilkins Electric is the best in the business. I am a Realtor and I had a major issue in the City of Pittsburgh and Alan Wilkins went above and beyond helping my Seller with not only the electrical repairs, but also with cutting through the red tape within the City's permit process. We wouldn't have closed as quickly as we did without Alan's knowledge of the City's permit process and guidance.

  I needed some minor electrical repairs done in order to sell my house. I reached out to over 10 electricians and most of them were unavailable, uninterested, or booked for months. I reached out to A Wilkins Electric in the evening and they responded promptly the next morning. They came out the following day and the service tech was very professional and efficient. He completed the repairs quickly and the cost was very reasonable. I’m very happy I chose them - would highly recommend.
