    Chris and his team really do take the pillars of Quality, Reliability, and Caring seriously. The price significantly less than other estimates and I had about everything electrical fixed that could be. I feel like I have time travelled from the 1950s to the 21st century. No more 2 prong adapters needed, and things are up to code.They showed up when they said they would, worked with me to identify what I wanted and needed with the upgrades, and then did the work. They always made sure the work areas were neat and we had heat and power before they left for the day.Coffin Electric not only exceeded my basic expectations, they consistently went above and beyond. This applies to the electricians and the office staff.I am looking forward to the spring when we can complete the work needed to upgrade the garage. Ill update my review when thats done.

    I hardly know where to start to describe my best experience ever with a service professional.I wanted to hire a local business. Coffin Electric came to the top of my list. Christian was able to complete my kitchen project the same day as his on-site estimate. Plus he educated me on my electrical panel and took the time to check on a couple of questions I had. I learned a lot today and will enjoy my new under cabinet lighting. I highly recommend Coffin Electric.

    We have had a couple of jobs that they have performed and they are always courteous and timely. They have done a great job listening to what we wanted and then getting things done right!11/27/24 - Just had a ceiling fan replaced on a high angled ceiling. Great job by Christian navigating the ladder in and out of the house and doing all of the assembly and balancing of the fan. Love it! Great job!!

  • Review 4 (2024-12-23 - Rating: 5)

    Very responsive, they texted us when they were on their way and the technician was incredibly professional and helped us with numerous issues outside of what we hired him for. Christian also explained everything and was very knowledgeable. I will be using this company for all electrical needs and I highly recommend them.

  • Review 5 (2024-11-27 - Rating: 5)

    Christian and Nick were fantastic! Both patient and listened to all my concerns. They also did estimates for future things which helps me budget accordingly! Wonderful experience vwry knowledgeable and professional!! Five stars all around:).

    I had Christian install 2 large sconces in the master bath. He needed to move outlets to do this. He was prompt, thorough, and carefully spaced them next to a large round mirror. In fact he even hung the mirror for me ensuring the toggle bolt went into a stud. I will definitely ask for him when I need an electrician in the future.

  • Review 7 (2024-10-15 - Rating: 5)

    An unforeseen need for an electrician arose. Having never needed one since returning to Iowa years ago, I received a referral from my plumber (Herr) and will be forever thankful. Coffin sent Christian Laverty. An amazing, well trained and professional electrician plus a very nice man. All I can say his solutions for my needs were spot on, and so efficient. In addition to his task, he did a home safety check (every plug! Inside and out!). Impressive. Plus he sold me an important safety mechanism that may have been unexpected expense but I am grateful to have it in place now! Bravo Christian and Coffin! Thank you!

    Excellent communication when the tech was on their way. Completed the job quickly and accurately. Cleaned up after the work. Competitive price. The company has done major work on our homes in the past; this was a small job. Have always been satisfied.

  • Review 9 (2024-11-09 - Rating: 5)

    I have an OLD house, over 100 years, and Christian has done several projects for us. He knows EVERYTHING about dealing with OLD house electrical issues, is detailed, clean, and absolutely excellent, and very polite to boot. Lucky to have found Coffin, and Christian in particular! THANKS, Christian!Had more OLD house electrical work that required special skills. Once again, Christian handled the job with skill and ease, his knowledge and courtesy are unsurpassed!

  • Review 10 (2024-12-19 - Rating: 5)

    Christian very efficiently and thoroughly investigated the work that I needed done. He also helped me by raising my curtain rods, straightening out the rug on my front porch (involved moving several pieces of furniture, moved a heavy outdoor plant from garage to front porch, and put linseed oil mixture on many white spots on my hardwood floor, caused by spilling isopropyl alcohol. Extremely nice and pleasant! I am choosing Coffin Electric for my jobs. Christian installed a complicated chandelier. It looks beautiful!

  • Review 11 (2024-11-04 - Rating: 5)

    I would absolutely recommend Chris Laferty to anyone I know, and if fact, plan in it as soon as I see them next. Absolutely professional and personable. He gave me great information. Just excellent! Worth every raise you give him!

    Electricians were on time, provided arrival time in advance, and took care of everything i needed to install a new light fixture, conducted safety check to update surge protectors, etc. and checked floor heat in bathroom. They were pleasant and professional.

  • Review 16 (2024-06-27 - Rating: 5)

    Christian was friendly and knowledgeable. He rewired our lights in the bathroom and they are working great! Also, tightened connections and installed a surge protector on our panel. We would highly recommend! We feel safe now.

    I am as very satisfied with work done by Mark on relatively small lighting project. He was very professional. Will be keeping Coffin Electric in mind for future projects

  • Review 18 (2024-09-03 - Rating: 5)

    Mark & Nick recently installed LED panel lights in my office space replacing traditional fluorescent tube lights. They explained the process, worked cleanly, efficiently, with care for the desks and personal effects, and with great communication. After seeing them in action at my place of business, Coffin will now always be my first call for my electrical needs at home as well as my office.

  • Review 19 (2024-10-14 - Rating: 5)

    Coffin Electric redid my whole house after a fire. They ran all new wires, pulled out all the old wires, installed a new circuit breaker panel, fire detectors, everything. Every employee I spoke with was great. I will hire them if I need anything again.

  • Review 20 (2024-12-02 - Rating: 5)

    Very professional and friendly interaction. Christian explained everything at a level i could understand. Work was completed in a timely manner and to my satisfaction. Thank you!

    They were very responsive and had someone scheduled to come the next day. Christian was so respectful, and took care of everything quickly and cleanly. He explained everything that he was going to do for the solution and cleaned up the stuff left by the previous electrician. He was even able to accept my anxious dog. I will use them again.

    Christian was fantastic to work with! He was very knowledgeable, figured out our electrical issue right away and was able to quickly resolve it. He was very kind and respectful. We have used Coffin in the past and will continue to use them, as it has been a positive experience each time!

  • Review 24 (2024-11-22 - Rating: 5)

    We have had Coffin electric complete all electrical for a major bathroom addition and laundry room. We also have had Chris Laverty do service work. All work is always completed on time, in a courteous manner and thorough, including cleanup. In a 100 +year old such as ours things dont always work as originally planned and Coffin Electric employees have always found a way to solve the problem and yet maintain the character of the house.Chris Laverty is an extremely good service technician in all ways.Ray & Marlene Loecke, customers

  • Review 25 (2024-07-19 - Rating: 5)

    Chris & his team are very professional & great to work with. I highly recommend!

  • Review 33 (2024-04-30 - Rating: 5)

    I had a great experience with scheduling and service with Coffin Electric. When I called, I confirmed what to expect, a electrician would come out, evaluate what our needs were, provide a quote and then schedule work to be done. What I didnt expect when the electrician arrived (Christian), a quote onsite and the time to complete the work same day!!! Christian was very professional, reviewed all we were wanting done, provided options where options were available, answered questions about other areas of our house, basically, took the time to educate. He was timely and clean, no mess left behind! I HIGHLY recommend Coffin Electric!

  • Review 34 (2024-10-04 - Rating: 5)
