I had a very positive experience with Lauterborn Electric. They rewired my entire house and in addition to the outlets, service, fixtures, and breaker box, made several suggestions to improve the electrical system that I hadnt considered but am glad to have. They were professional, knowledgeable, and communicative, and kept wall and ceiling damage to a minimum. Considering the size of the project (1000 sq ft plus basement), the price was reasonable. Highly recommended!

My experience with the guys at Lauterborn Electric has been nothing short of excellent. From the prompt email and text communications to the quality work and flexibility to help with an unexpected situation, it was a smooth process all around. I would easily recommend and use them again for any electrical needs.

We hired Lauterborn Electric after my fiance and I bought an old fiexer-upper and decided we should get the whole house rewired. We spoke with a few electricians but chose to hire Lauterborn Electric, and its one of the best decisions we have made since buying our home. Larry, Larry, and Ryan were amazing at maintaining a clear line of communication from day one. Before starting any work, we walked the house with Ryan who made a few small suggestions about where we had planned for switches and outlets, and those suggestions made a huge improvement to how our home functions. We did not expect that added service and are very thankful for that! The day we KNEW we hired the right people was when we came to the house after the first day of work, and they had left the place cleaner than they found it! They always swept up, kept the work tidy, and treated our home like it was their own. Pricing on everything was fair and transparent and we had no surprises. It is very safe to say that we HIGHLY recommend Lauterborn Electric, and will be referring them to our friends!

Larry, Larry, and Ryan just finished rewiring our home yesterday and we could not be more satisfied with their work. We used Lauterborn Electric to completely rewire our entire home. The guys did a great job. When we purchased our home in South Philly we were told that everything, including the electric, was up to date. Fast forward to us taking out some crumbling plaster only to discover that the entire home still had knob and tube wiring. We contacted a few different companies to get quotes. Larry came out for an in-home walkthrough and gave us a competitive quote for the work. We went with them because they had great reviews, were local to the city, and they had a positive attitude. Theyre also a family owned company which is reassuring. They secured the necessary permit from the city for us and had the rough wiring done just a few days after that. They let us know exactly what we had to do on our end before they came back for the final install and completion. On the day of the final install they were patient with us when we had to run out and get some last minute supplies that we should have had on hand. They did one final test, made sure the dimmers dimmed, and sent an email explaining which switches were which since their handwriting was tough to read. All in all, I couldnt recommend Lauterborn Electric enough. If we ever need any electric work down the road well be calling them again.UPDATE 12/11/2024:We had Lauterborn Electric come back out to our home for a 3rd job. Larry Sr came by a few days earlier to walk though the job and prepare a quote for me. Since I wanted a few different options, he provided me with an estimate that let me pick and choose what I wanted. On the service day, Larry Jr and Ryan arrived right on time and got to work. They wrapped up earlier than expected for the price quoted. If you are looking for qulaity work performed by local, licensed electricians, I cannot recommend Lauterborn Electric enough.

I called Lauterborn Electric with putting in a Ring doorbell for security reasons. Due to the high risk sensitivity of my situation, two wonderful electricians came out promptly to install the doorbell! They were very sweet, professional, informative, kind and down to earth. Because I have an older home that needs fixing up, I will be a returning customer! Thank you so much! You guys rock!

We were having major electrical issues and for several weeks and could not get anyone to come out and look at it. This crew was in touch immediately and kindly responded to all texts. They arrived earlier than expected and finished the job before the end of the work day. I sent my brother, who is an electrician, pictures of the completed job and he said, “really nice clean job. Well worth the money.” I would recommend them to anyone.

Second time having them out! Cant ask for a more fair price and quality of work. Recently needed new dedicated lines and a new electric box. Did a solid job with no problems. I appreciate their candidness and professional demeanor.

My experience with Lauterborn Electric was nothing but positive. They were very quick to respond to my initial inquiry and scheduled time to give me an estimate right away. The inspection was incredibly thorough and they were able to explain everything clearly. They are friendly, fastidious, and professional. They left my house spotless and with everything now in working order. I would highly recommend.

Larry and Ryan are wonderful. Sons of the owner, they were swift in fixing a wiring issue we had in our kitchen. They resolved the issue and were courteous and informative. I will definitely be using them for any future electrical work. Thank you!

Second time working with Lauterborn today. Contacted them this morning to come out to fix a GFCI outlet in the back yard, came same day and got a new one installed in no time. After fixing the outlet I asked about a covered electric panel in the backyard and they confirmed it was a box that could be for another outlet.. asked if they could pivot and install another outlet there and they did within minutes for just a small incremental charge on the original quote. The guys are always so professional and courteous. They will always be the first electricians I contact as long as I’m in the Philadelphia area.

I would recommend Lauterborn Electric to anyone that needs any type of electric repairs. We needed a whole new electric supply installed (200 amp service) and they did it yesterday as promised. They kept us updated at all times and were here when promised. Excellent service! Very nice people! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We are very pleased with the work from Lauterborne Electric. We had quite a big project requiring getting rid of knob and tube. They were on time and very professional. We wish we had found them sooner and will definitely use them for any projects in the future. We have worked with others before and they are by far the best. Would highly recommend using them.

Larry, and his sons, Larry and Ryan, did an amazing job totally rewiring my daughters 1875 Fishtown home. The home was all knob and tube wiring when purchased, but additionally, had a vintage kitchen and several rooms with wood paneling that my daughter wished to keep. Larry was able to put all new wiring in while preserving everything my daughter wanted to keep. Minimal holes and damage we’re easily patched. Larry and his sons were a pleasure to work with, they were fast and efficient and very responsive to our unique needs to preserve the vintage aspects of this home. I would highly recommend them for your electrical needs.

Lauterborn Electric completed the electrical on my renovation/addition of a 1950 colonial from the service outside to a complete rewire inside. Their work is clean, easy to communicate with and they care about the end product. Look forward to working with them again!

Review 18 (2023-02-17 - Rating: 5)
I honestly am blown away by how amazing they are in comparison to other folk in the trades. Their price was incredibly fair and their work was amazing. We needed 4 new lines installed in our lathe and plaster south Philly home and they literally only had to make 4 tiny holes to run the lines all the way to the second floor. They were quick, responsive, and really really nice to work with. It was easy coordinating with them and a joy talking with them.I will never ever ever ever hire anyone else for electric. Hire them. You will be very happy with their work and fair price.

Review 19 (2020-12-18 - Rating: 5)
Larry and his team replaced the knob and tube wiring and replaced the panel in our recently-purchased Philly row home, and I could not be happier with the job they did. From the moment I reached out, I felt like they were going to take care of us, and I was never disappointed. Larry was one of the few electricians who could give me a ballpark estimate before we had access to the house, and he stuck to that estimate throughout the entire process. He explained everything to me, was open, honest, and transparent about everything that would need to be done. His work was always professional - no corners were cut, and he ended up cutting far less holes in my walls than I had anticipated. When the handyman came in to quote me for the patching that was required after all the new wiring, he was impressed at the job that Larry did and the cost of patching was below the price window that he originally estimated!Lastly, and I cant stress this enough, Larry and his team were great communicators. We had a lot of back and forth throughout the process, over the phone, via email, via text, and I could always get a hold of Larry when I needed to. I knew when he was coming and going, and when he committed to being at our house, he was there. Everything was done on schedule!My wife and I have had an overwhelming and stressful experience buying an old home in the city and navigating first time home ownership. Lauterborn Electric was an incredible silver lining throughout this process.Highly, highly recommend.

Larry and his sons are the BEST!! Larry was extremely responsive to my request- I think he had his team come to my house for an estimate and to go through what I needed, within 2-3 days from my inquiry. They then came to the house to put in about five light fixtures and two chandeliers within the week.They were professional, fast, performed quality work while being fun to work with (“work with” as in me talking to them while they were putting everything together and installing).I will be using them for every electric need I have in the future. Highly recommended.

There are a few times that you can write such a glowing review. I will not only tell you my experience but what I heard other individuals share with me about the work of Lauterborn Electric. When I went to sell my home that was built in 1880, I needed to have the entire electrical panel replaced per the buyers request. The job was completed by Larry’s team and Larry came back on a separate visit to make sure that all the switches were labeled. The new owner brought in an electrician to help set up their ADT and security systems. While I was cleaning out a few things I heard the electrician say – WOW – I rarely ever see a unit that well done and organized. Whoever did the work is exemplary. They also made sure that the wiring on the outside of the home was done properly with the wire tubing going up to the top to ensure rain did not get in. I felt so good that I had the job done right for the new owner (who was THRILLED) and that I had put my trust in Larry and the Lauterborn team! I will share pictures to show you what a great job they did. Thank you Larry!

Lauterborn electric did a high quality professional job with my 200 amp service upgrade. Price was fair and attention to detail was excellent. It was a pleasure working with Larry and his team on this project. I really appreciated his expert advice. Would recommend and will definitely use their service again in the future.

Review 24 (2020-01-24 - Rating: 5)
Larry and his sons never disappoint. My husband and I have used Lauterborn Electric for many different projects over the past 5 years and the quality of work is always exceptional. The conversations are great and someone is always laughing. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to the craft!

I found Larry through a Google search...and very glad that I did. Came into my new construction home and hung all of my new fixtures and fans! Larry, Larry and Ryan were wonderful to work with, clean, friendly and efficient. Very grateful to have an electrician to call on when needed! Highly recommend.

My husband and I own a Victorian home in Philadelphia. We decided to finally renovate a 1950s kitchen. We contacted 4 contractors and immediately knew Lauterborn Electric felt right. We were not disappointed. Lauterborn reviewed our needs, suggested important upgrades and took time to explain how different aspects of the project would evolve. The timeline was adhered to and the work completed without any undo delays or hidden costs. The team of electricians who did the work were: talented, highly qualified and exceptionally pleasant to have in our home. This company is a family run business and it shows.In the future, we will definitely use this company again.Lisa Rubens & Kevin OConnor

I had a need to install a new main electric line and other electrical issues in my home. I called Larry Lauterbon because of the so many great reviews he had. Since my very first conversation with him I knew Larry was my choice. He possesses a very rare and hard to find mix of traits: diligent, honest and courteous to say the least. His pricing was very competitive and fair. I was very happy with the work Larry did for me and would not hesitate to use him for my future needs and recommend his services to others. Thanks Larry!Jose

Larry and his team were very friendly, responsive, and super helpful. They repaired all the items on our punch list in a timely manner and were very easy to work with from scheduling to the actual day of work. Would highly recommend Larry and his team to anyone needing electrical work.

Excellent communication throughout the process. While the job was small, Larry never made it seem like it was not worth their time. He even tried to trouble shoot it with me before sending technicians out.

I contacted Larry at 11AM on a Tuesday to do some electrical repair for a rental property in Center City. By Wednesday at 11AM, the job we complete. He worked with my tenant directly for ease of scheduling, kept me updated via texts on progress and cost estimates. Payment via VenMo made the entire job and experience incredibly simple and efficient. I was able to manage the entire exchange via my iPhone - cant get any easier. Ill use Larry for all my electrical work in the city. Highly recommend!

Larry and his team were very prompt and professional. He was able to come out same day and fix an issue I was having. His team came out a few days later and replaced my breaker box. Larry gave me a reasonable quote before repairs and didnt change it after the job was done.

I just moved here from out of state and I was a little stressed and intimidated by searching for an electrician that I could trust. Well, thankfully, my search is over! My experience with Lauterborn Electric was so positive it was like dealing with trusted family members. They gave me options and didnt make me feel rushed to make any decisions until I was ready. I will definitely be calling them, again, for any future issues or projects.

Review 33 (2018-04-20 - Rating: 5)
We needed 4 ceiling fans installed and a new light in our basement. From contacting Larry initially and scheduling our installation everything went as smooth as possible. The company is very honest and up front with everything, no hidden fees or B.S. Not to mention the work was done efficiently and turned out very well! We loved how everything turned out. Would highly recommend Lauterborn Electric!!!

I would highly recommend Lauterborn electric. After buying a new electric dryer in an older Philly house, we needed to have a 220 volt outlet put into our basement to power the dryer. Larry and his guys did a great job. They were professional and quick, getting the job done in less than an hour. They also went above and beyond by setting up the dryer for us. They explained how everything was set up and were priced well. If you have any concerns/ needs with the electric in your house, Larry is definitely the guy to call!

Larry and his two sons upgraded my electrical panel to 200 amp. They did excellent work and you could tell that they were very experienced at their job. Larry was timely with everything right from the beginning from writing up a proposal, starting the job and responding to questions. The price was right, they were friendly and cleaned up well. Finally found the electrician I was looking for.

Larry and team were so responsive. Returned my call within same day, followed through as promised, sympathized with my issues and expressed getting the kitchen electrical issues remedied immediately would be ideal, called when they had an opening and did the repairs a week earlier than promised! When they showed up on time, the repair was done efficiently. They were tidy and respectful, followed COVID safe protocol, friendly, professional and now our go-to electrician! Thank you for all your work to restore us to a happy home.

I highly recommend Larry Lauterborn and his team! We have an old house that was built in 1925. We put the house on the market. Our first buyer walked because of existing knob and tube. We have a second buyer who wanted the knob and tube replaced. I googled knob and tube replacement and read lots of horror stories about electricians having to tear down walls and ceilings and even floors. Needless to say, it kept me up at night because our beautiful home has lots of original details that are very rare. We had two electricians come to the house only to have them say that the job was too complicated. Because we were under contract, Larry was very responsive and scheduled the work for us despite the fact that he was very busy. We have an original tin ceiling in one of the bedrooms that has been very attractive to buyers. Larry assured us that he would save our tin ceiling. Minimal damage was done to the walls and all of the holes were patched. Larry even addressed issues that the inspector did not catch. Don’t mess around with electrical work. Hire the best! Larry is one of the best with years of experience in replacing knob and tube. And he is really funny! Our house just sold!!!!

Dont settle for less than Lauterborn!!! This family-owned company is top-notch for quality work and excellent service. When I first moved into my home, Larry and his sons helped me install ceiling fans and a Ring security system (doorbell and camera). More recently when I needed a light fixture installed, I used them again.On top of being very skilled electricians, the Lauterborns always are so pleasant to talk to, and have exhibited lots of patience with finicky technology and detailed-oriented work. I never feel like they are rushing out the door to get to the next job -- despite being busy (i.e., popular), they always manage to make me feel like Im their top priority, even for smaller jobs.I recommend Lauterborn Electric with enthusiasm and without hesitation! Best in the business!

I hired Larry, Larry and Ryan to install 2 ceiling fans with light fixtures. I called and left a message on 11/1/17 that I needed an electrician before 11/6/17. Larry called me back on 11/1/17 and made an appointment for 11/3/17. Larry and his 2 sons were on time, understood the scope of the job and worked efficiently at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend Lauterborn Electric and look forward to using them again.

I contact Lauterborn Electric to have my front door bell rerouted from the inside door frame, to the outside door frame. In the phone conversation Larry gave me an estimate based on my description of my situation. He assured me that this was only an estimate and he will not do anything until he gets a look at the entire situation and can better give a price. I accept and booked. Larry could not make it to me on our first appointment, but he did contact me to let me know his situation on another job. The next day Larry arrived with his sons, and jumped right on rerouting the wires. Unexpectedly when they realized why I wanted to reroute the bell wires, they insist on also installing my video bell system. While doing the job they ran into some issues with the app and other things, at which Larry called the app support and established what the problem was and ran to the local hardware store and purchased some items that I needed. Lauterborn Electric went above and beyond my expectations and at the end of the job, everything was perfect and the PRICE DID NOT CHANGE. I will refer Lauterborn Electric and use Lauterborn Electric for any further electrical services, because they get an A+ with CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Second time I’ve had Lauterborn out to my house to fix some shoddy electrical work from the previous owners, they have always done great work at a reasonable price. If I have anything else go wrong, I’ll know who to call!

I highly recommend Lauterborn Electric. I recently had Larry and Ryan at my house to work on a long list of electric projects and they did an amazing job. I bought a chandelier to be installed and it came with over 100 pieces. I was so impressed at how easily they were able to install and put together the chandelier. They did a great job and they are reasonably priced and very professional.

Review 45 (2020-09-22 - Rating: 5)
I’ve used them before to install a new electrical panel and they did an amazing job upgrading our electrical. This time I had two new light fixtures (chandeliers) installed on our vaulted ceiling and they once again did a perfect job, making sure the lights were perfectly aligned to our windows and to each other. They were very careful not to make more holes than necessary and they kept the area incredibly clean as well. These professionals know what they are doing and care about each and every job they do.

Larry answered the phone and came by for an estimate within 15 minutes! After a thorough inspection and reasonable quote he informed me he could get the job done first thing the very next day!

Want to share that Lauterborn Electric helped me out of an electrical emergency situation in a prompt manner. One call and within minutes Larry and his two sons were at my door.

Larry and his sons were better than we could have ever expected. Consummate professionals, they worked around our schedule, patiently answered all of our questions and most importantly executed flawless work. We could not have been happier with the outcome of the project (recessed lighting / NEST installation / ceiling fan install) and look forward to having them back for additional installations moving forward. Great crew, they truly cared about our perspective and feed back & we would whole heartedly endorse them to anyone in need of electrical work. 5 star experience across the board.

End to end perfection is the best description for working with Larry and his guys (in our case Larry, the younger one, and Ryan, who did the grunt work). Honest, trustworthy and when we needed them, they fit us into their schedule. The work is outstanding, but the customer service, even better. And the guys solved a couple of tricky issues for us, which shows they are not just basic electricians. Anyone looking for electrical work would be silly to not give Lauterborn your business. And no, Im not related. We found them here on Google reviews, and we are thankful we did.

Working with Lauterborn Larry and his son was a fun experience. They werent the lowest price or the highest BUT for the service, you cant beat the value! They fixed our lighting issue in under 20 minutes. I like that I could communicate via text and email (some in the old guard still fax and make you pay a fee to come out and then more money to fix the problem)Ive got his card on my frige ready for the next electrical issue.Great job

I am a hard person to please when it comes to contractors since I have an engineering background, Ive worked as a PM for many years, and I do a lot of things around my house myself. That being said, I couldnt be happier with the level of service that Ive gotten from Lauterborn. Ive used them twice, once for a partial power outage and the second time to do some minor troubleshooting and electrical repair in my kitchen. Both times they were extremely responsive, friendly, and helpful. I am very pleased with the work theyve done for me and plan on contacting them in the future for any electrical work I need done.

Lauterborn Electric did a great job repairing my kitchen ceiling fan. I normally would have just replaced the unit but it matches 3 other fans in our house and looks great. Lauterborn came in, quickly figured out the problem and a few days later the fan is like new. Thanks!!

I couldn’t recommend Larry more. We just moved into a place in Fishtown area and needed a new electric panel in the basement. We got 3 estimates and decided to go with Larry. He took the time to walk us through everything and was from the area as well. Within a few days after the estimate, Larry and his guys came out and seamlessly installed the new panel. Larry also saw our outdoor meter wasn’t caulked so took a couple extra minutes to help us silicone/caulk that and a few fixtures outside. All in all, I’d say at the very least have Larry and his guys out and odds are you’ll want to go with them for any electrical issues moving forward. Thanks again!

Its been a few years since Larry and his sons came to work on our house in S. Philly. I owe them this review. They replaced our corroded 100 AMP service with a 200A panel. They ran a new circuit to every room on the 2nd and 3rd floor. They also completely wired our new kitchen for us.The best way to describe their work is art. I dont believe I am overstating my case. Ive never seen an electrical panel look so beautiful. The time and attention to detail they took to make the panel look clean reveals to me a deep love of their job and care for their customers.They were also just a lot of fun to listen to as they worked together and they even shared Philly Soft Pretzels with our family.Excellent company!

I recently rehabbed a house in Fishtown. Lauterborn Electric handled the electric from the outside service down to the under counter lighting in my kitchen when they completely rewired my place. They were always on time and stayed on schedule for completing the project. Larry and his sons took the time to work with me to layout all of the lighting elements in the house. The end result was a professional and clean look. If you want a contractor who cares about the end result, these are your guys.

These gentlemen were amazing from the moment I contacted them for help and they squeezed me in to solve my immediate issue and then handled a decent sized rewiring job, to fix the larger issue, while also upgrading my service. They were very easy and nice to work with and took the time to explain the issues, how they were going to fix them and then they simply took care of business. I would recommend them too anyone in bed of any electrical work.

I have used them to fix an old electrical panel that was wired poorly and never had a problem since even upgraded for modern power needs. Then they wired a room add on with outlets high in the room for my kids train to run around the ceiling. The latest job they came in a secured my house electrical after a toy battery fire on the 3rd floor. Then they came back and pretty much rewired everyroom that was damaged in the fire. They did a great job and passed the electrical inspection everytime. They do a nice, clean wiring job.

Our home had an electrical box from the 60s which was likely the same time as when the service wires from the street were installed. In the middle of a Sunday night I was woken up by a loud bang and all of our lights flickering. I went to the basement to find the wires entering the house scorched, smoking, and buzzing. Since the wires in the wall were still live, we shut the power off to the house. I spent the rest of the night with a flashlight, fire extinguisher, and googling local electricians.Since this was an emergency situation I called several electricians the next morning with the hope someone would get back to me asap. Lauterborn Electric had great reviews and even had examples of our exact issue on their website so my hope was to get through to them.One of the reviews had mentioned to call the mobile # for Lauterborn and to not be discouraged if you went to the voicemail because Larry, the owner, would call you back in a few minutes. Sure enough, this is exactly what happened. I left a voicemail and he called me back within 5 minutes. No other electrician called me back, still hasnt.Larry was very friendly, listened to my issues, and said he would be out that afternoon to look into it. Him and his son Larry showed up, assessed the wires, let me know exactly what I needed and the exact cost it would be and that they could get it done the next day. They also cut the lines to the house so I didnt have a live wire in my wall over night.Sure enough, they showed up when they said they would the next day and finished everything up by that afternoon. Larry and his sons were very courteous, kept the work space clean, and took any residual trash with them.I have some electrical knowledge so I can tell you the work they did was beyond exceptional, they built a wall for the new service box and meter, they installed all of our existing circuits into the new box extremely neatly, they properly grounded everything with the cold water line and a ground rod (which you dont typically have in older row homes), weather proofed and protected the service line from the street all the way down and into the house, and did it all at a great price.I cant say enough good things about these guys. Larry said they do work all over, but were in Port Richmond so theyre local and will be who we call for any electrical work in the future. Thanks again Larry.

Ive had Larry and his crew out a couple times for various jobs and theyre always on-time and do good work. They are great about cleaning up after themselves and patch any holes they have to make in walls. Nice guys too!

Larry and his sons were fantastic. They put in a main line, panel, several fixtures and some fixes. On time, fair price, quality workmanship, down to earth, clean. A very pleasant experience.

They came out and gave a great quote on the jobs we needed done. We got a new line put in for a dryer, and they put in new halo lights for us. The work was perfect and the price couldnt have been better. Definitely would recommend them in the future.

They were responsive, professional, quick, clean, and polite. We were looking for a day they could come and they would text us openings when they could come over. Was super easy and they accepted Venmo payments. Would definitely recommend for anyone in the area looking for solid, professional, and reliable electric work.

Larry and his sons have done a number of smaller jobs at my house. They give me an estimate up front, do good work and show up when they say they will. They respect my house and clean up really nicely when they are done.

THIS CREW WAS AWESOME!!! I and my husband can not thank these guys enough for their immediate attention and thorough due diligence. Unfortunately, the inspector still has not gotten back to us, so I will keep you updated if he approves us, but your guys found the rod right away!! Thanks and we look forward to using Lauterborn in the future!! 😀

They came not only on time, but caled and ask if they could come earlier.They made a safe and sound job of my not so smart attempt at installing a ceiling fan in an old house with old wiring. Neat, clean and fast too, done in less than an hour, even though they had to saw through my slat ceiling to put in the junction box. Plus all of them were pleasant and willing to answer any questions. Definitly my go to electricians from now on.

One day after Sandy im watching tv and it goes out but my lights are one so I figure the outlet went bad and plug the tv into another outlet. Then I notice that some other things werent working,so I called Lauterborn Electric they had someone there within an hour and discovered that my service was flooded (the worst service they ever saw, there is photes on their web page) but he hooked up my important things to a good leg of service (fridge heater some lights ect) so that i wasnt left in the dark.Returned the next day with a crew a replaced my entire service from tie in to outlets for a very reasonable price. Other companies that I called didnt even have time to get to me for up to a week.and because of SANDY their prices were like 3 to 4 times what I was charged by Lauterborn they were neat,fast,reasonable priced,and did nice work. Heck they even took away all the trash,cant beat that ( Im still finding wire from the cable guy from his job. When anyone askes me, If I know a good electrician I tell they LAUTERBORN ELECTRIC.

This company is fantastic and now I will be a returning customer for life! Larry and Ryan were very knowledgeable, courteous and efficient. They explained everything to me and got the job done which needed to be brought up to code. This is in addition to Susan who was so lovely on the phone when I called her the day before and Larry senior who listened to my garbage disposal problem on the phone. Yes they are coming back in the future to fix my other electrical issues… just as soon as I find my list with all my electrical “to do” projects.

Review 95 (2024-03-22 - Rating: 5)
I hired Lauterborn Electric to wire in a couple new light fixtures, as well as install a number of ceiling fans throughout a new home I purchased. From the start, Larry was exceptional. He patiently answered all my questions (and there were many) about the project and quoted a very fair price. The job was completed in a timely fashion and I was extremely impressed with how clean the job was. I had 3 new lights wired into ceilings that didnt previously have lights and they magically did it without making all but one small hole. Ive had electrically done in other homes and this was not the case during those jobs. I would highly recommend. I would definitely hire Larry and his team again in the future if I need anymore work done.AddendumI would add 5 more stars if I could! Had an issue with a 3-way switch a few months after the initial work Larry and his team did. Larry quickly came out, diagnosed the problem determining the issue was a defective dimmer switch, and swapped it out. Larry is a pleasure to work with. I’ve dealt with many trades and contractors over the years and I can honestly say he’s one of the best.

Was having a power issue in our home. Really appreciated the help Larry gave me. He wanted to try and resolve the issue on the phone before he came out to save me some money. Was able to troubleshoot over the phone and send him some pictures. He quickly told me what it was. And that resolved the issue, didn’t cost me anything. Appreciated the honesty and integrity of Larry! 🙏🏻. That’s what you will get if you use Lauterborn Electric. People that are honest and that are willing to work with you, for those of us that don’t know anything about electrical issues…:) Highly recommend them!

Larry Sr. is a very friendly, nice guy with good responsiveness, very hard to find in electricians where smaller residential work is needed. He will be honest and let you know his timing. He and his sons have done several jobs for me and did high quality work, and even figured out a weird wiring issue that a previous person missed. Reliable and honest. Prices seemed pretty typical.

Larry and his sons did an excellent job. I needed a new outlet put into the floor- previously, we were running both the electric cords and cable cords across the room and underneath the rug to power our tv and several other devices. Clearly not safe nor attractive. The Lauterborn’s were able to route everything to the new location and its just perfect.I contacted Larry on a Friday, he provided me a quote on Saturday and was able to perform the job on a Monday- even with it not being an emergency.I would highly recommend Lauterborn Electric, and will be using them for any future Electric needs!

We hired Lauterborn Electric to do all of the electric work on a new addition to our home this year. We couldnt have been happier with them! Larry, Larry and Ryan were very personable and professional. They provided us with a very reasonable estimate, and stuck to the estimate. They showed up when promised every time. They finished the job as promised, when promised. Larry was very easy to get ahold of, and responded quickly and thoroughly to all emails. We would definitely use them again, and would recommend them to everyone! The quality of their work was excellent!!

Review 120 (2016-02-12 - Rating: 5)
There are not enough ways to articulate just how good of a job this crew does. Larry and his guys installed a 120 volt outlet in my garage, that draws electricity directly from my condo unit, so that I may charge my motorcycle batteries. It was fairly labor intensive, with a lot of concrete to drill through, and they knocked it out flawlessly, in no time flat. Their prices are fair, the work is clean, theyre all personable, and they promptly scheduled a date and time that worked for me (immediately following the gratis quote they came out and performed).

Review 121 (2019-11-22 - Rating: 5)
I first met Larry while he was installing a new service and a property I was purchasing, he was contracted by the previous owner whom I had known for a long time and recommended Larry as an electrician if I ever needed any repairs or electrical work done.Larry was such a down to earth guy, after talking to him for a few minutes you felt so at ease knowing he took a lot of pride in his work, Larry himself is a super friendly and a good sense of lighthearted humor.Now on to his work, I was lucky enough to be at the property when he was almost completed and seen the work he was doing, the quality of his workmanship is nothing less than top-notch. Larry is a true professional.Let’s move forward to after the service, the property had no electric service from PECO so they needed to come out to run main feed wires, PECO contacted me stating there was a problem with the electrical certificate sent through from the inspector, I contacted Larry about the issue, he said let me contact the inspector and I will call you back. Larry returned my call within 10 minutes having the situation resolved.Sorry this review is so long but a few short words could not describe how i was impressed with Larry and the quality of his work.If you want outstanding customer service and quality work all in a place call Lauterborn Electric

We had Lauterborn Electric come out to our new home a few years ago and had them install lighting fixtures under our deck, a motion sensor light on the front of the deck and on the side of our house, and two outside outlets. Everything was done in no time and I have never had any issues. Installation was clean and timely and I could not be happier with the service and the outcome! I would highly recommend them.

I called Lauterborn Electric and spoke to Larry about a microwave issue flipping the circuit breaker. After asking me a few questions on the phone and texting him a picture, he was able to give me ideas on how to diagnose the situation without needing a home visit and was able to figure out it wasnt actually an electric issue. I really appreciated that he was willing to give me that advice over the phone rather than charge a visit fee and now my issue is solved! Thank you, Larry!
