Best Lighting Retrofit in Charlotte NC

I've used No Shorts several times for clients jobs, and they are unrivaled in their punctuality and job performance in my opinion! Their scheduler is fantastic, and they have so much pride in what they do---I always feel confident that they pay close attention to detail and follow any instructions that I give them. They are my go-to electrician, and my clients love them!

Had a safety inspection completed over 3 weeks ago. Arranged with the appointment scheduler to meet our realtor on site to let them electrician in, gave the scheduler realtors phone number and was given a window for their arrival. The electrician was almost 2 hours late and didn’t have realtors contact information that was given to scheduler to communicate with. After the inspection, I Was told we’d have report within 3 business days. I called a total of 11 times over the course of these 3 weeks trying to get this report. During those calls, I was directed to different people to help each time, gave my phone number and email multiple times for follow up and wasted so much time on hold only to have to continue to call a few days later as I was never followed up with. I understand everyone is busy right now…but to get this runaround for over 3 weeks to only receive a report with 4 items on it is an unacceptable timeline and unacceptable customer service. We didn’t receive the report back in time before our due diligence period ended for our house purchase. We will certainly NOT be using Bates to make these repairs and would certainly NOT recommend them to anyone.

My neighbor hired Al to replace rotted siding and trim on the outside of the front of his house and install outside lighting and a new electrical outlet. I had been helping my neighbor (who is not able to work on his home) with some small projects on his home. I knew of Al's professional reputation and suggested my neighbor hire him which my neighbor did. This was a project my neighbor wanted done and I knew it was beyond my experience level and knowledge to attempt this on my own.

I was able to assist Al on some of the siding that needed an extra pair of hands. (I've done minor home repair and remodeling myself as a non-professional for 40+ yrs & some lay person's knowledge.) So, I was on site the entire time and was able to see Al's work through the entire process. While not a large job, Al treated his work with the importance and dedication as though it was a truly important job that he valued doing. (Al replaced about 100 sq feet of siding.)

I must say Al does incredibly excellent work!! He explained the reasons for some of his construction strategy which greatly impressed me with how well he thinks through projects like this. He works efficiently and demonstrates a very high standard of excellence!

The price was extremely reasonable for my neighbor to be able to afford to hire Al. My neighbor and myself both believe my neighbor got more than his money's worth out of this job! Excellent work & great value cost wise.

Al's knowledge and expertise was just superb! He has a remarkably professional and amicable can do attitude with the experience and knowledge to back it up. He communicates a professional confidence in his manner that is reassuring.

It was a real pleasure to do business with Al. Both my neighbor and myself are super pleased with the high quality of the job and the efficient speed and timeliness that it was done! The front on my neighbors home looks fantastic and the quality of work will have the siding and trim last for many many years to come! I feel like Al went above and beyond my expectations to achieve a very high standard of excellence in his work.

Affordable, professional, experienced, knowledgeable, likeable personality and a job well done! Good work, Al! Thanks for doing the job!

Great place to work, good Christian values!!

Called Bates Electric for a quote on panel replacement/upgrade and wiring (entire house rewired). Every other electrician I called refused to come out and look at the job until I gave them a deposit; they all wanted to charge me several thousand dollars before they even looked at the job, without having any idea what was needed. Bates came out, took a look around the house, and provided me with a very reasonable quote. Before I accepted it, they even found a mistake in an original drawing of my house that saved me several thousand dollars! This was my first time using Bates Electric and it won't be my last. Thank you!

These guys are friendly and very professional. I just had them install an EV charger at my house. They were very communicative and recommended the best options for me that made sense. They even came back without asking to make some updates so they could meet their expectations. They went above and beyond. Highly recommend

Corey helped us fix an electrical issue in our fairly newer house. He came out the same day I called which was late on a Friday. He stayed as long as it took to figure it out and test his solution. He was friendly and clear with explaining his process. In the end, even though he was there for longer than he anticipated, he charged exactly what he said on the phone. As a family of 5, we really appreciated that. :)
