Langstaff & Sloan Inc reviews (56)

We were referred to Langstaff and Sloan by a neighbour years ago and have been using them for jobs large and small ever since. Their crews are always courteous and efficient and are very transparent about their pricing -- always checking before completing something unforeseen. We recently used them to remove a spot of knob and tube wiring from our house and they were able to do so without any damage to the original stucco ceiling. We've always been very pleased with their work!

We have used Langstaff and Sloan over the years for many electrical projects. They are our number one electricians to turn to during home repairs. They have installed light fixtures for us, added outlets and removed all the knob and tube from our home.

Last fall we had to replace all remaining knob and tube wiring in our house. Two out of three electricians I had called for an estimate were not even willing to provide us with a quote. Robert Sloan came to the house, did a one hour inspection and had a detailed quote right away. Very professional, very precise and without any unanswered question. His crew did a fantastic job completing the work. They were on time, left their work place clean every night, and couldn't be more courteous. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone.

The crew arrived 5 minutes early on the first day of the job, which set the tone for the consistent professionalism we saw over the next 3 days. The head electrician, Vic, made a number of excellent suggestions based on our needs (found the best location for a new kitchen plug, warned us against a wireless switch, etc). He was also quick to apologize when an outlet was installed in the wrong spot in one of the bedrooms, and immediately had the outlet relocated. Removal of knob and tube was labour-intensive but the crew met the 3-day deadline, and brought in an additional electrician to ensure they kept to their timeline. Throughout the process Vic did an excellent job communicating the changes he and his crew were making, along with explaining the problems with the original wiring. The crew also did an excellent job of cleanup. Langstaff & Sloan were recommended to me by close friends, and I now understand why. Definitely a situation where you get what you pay for.

I had a pending offer on a home I purchased which had some questionable electrical work. The owners were not able to find an electrician to make the necessary repairs and put their name on it (i.e. provide documentation supporting their work). Langstaff and Sloan came to the home, completed the work right away and providing a letter guaranteeing their work was safe. I would definitely recommend them.

Robert Sloan paid us a visit within a few days of our first contact and was extremely helpful on all fronts. He offered great advice including how we could save some cost by digging our own trench for the buried conduit for the garage, and what to expect from the city inspectors. He was also very happy to share his book (a thick binder) of references, and responded with a quote very quickly. Work started shortly thereafter. The Langstaff & Sloan crew were fast, courteous and tidy. The crew lead was also more than happy to follow up on any questions I had along the way and offer welcome advice of his own. I was completely satisfied with the end result and would call Langstaff & Sloan before anyone else should I need electrical work in the future.

I was thrilled with the results of the work done. From the estimate which was detailed enough to help me understand the resulting costs. They were on time and quick to answer any questions I had without talking down to me. That was appreciated. Being disabled, they knew to ask me where the best place(s) were to install the outlets and switches for me. They cleaned up very well after themselves, knowing it would be difficult for me to do. Courteous and polite, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. "BIG or SMALL, They Do It All." I had them also install a range outlet, recently. Again, quick and to mark, it was done. Thanks for a job well done, and if I need electrical work done again, I know who to call. Olga

We hired Langstaff & Sloan to do a knob and tube rewire of the entire house excluding the basement. The team completed the job within a week, were extremely pleasant to deal with, explained each part of the work they did, and answered all my questions. The team were also absolutely fastidious about the cleanliness and safety for children and pets after each day of work. When I phoned a few months later to have them check out a socket I wasn't sure was done (we moved some heavy furniture and found it,) the team lead came to the house the next day to make sure. (It had indeed been done.) The team lead also inspected and reported on our basement wiring even though that area was not part of the initial work we wanted done. Also, the team member who refinished the holes in the walls after the work was done filled ALL the holes in our walls, not just the ones they made, and touched up some sloppy wall finish work that had been done previously by some heating contractors. (I was so grateful for that, thanks!) Highly highly recommended.

Langstaff & Sloan team upgraded wiring in my newly bought house. Half of wiring was new, half was knob-and-tube. The team was very professional and thorough -- they went beyond the initial agreement and fixed up many problems in "new" wiring installed by people who did the kitchen. The work was done on budget and on time. These guys take pride in work well done and even get offended by shoddy electrical wiring. My major concern was the holes in walls and ceiling necessary for the job. They team were very careful in how and where they put the holes and did an excellent job patching them afterwards.

I had to upgrade my old electrical panel and Rob came in and assessed the issues. He gave me many options and discussed them with such knowledge. He knew the older houses like I had, and was able to answer all my questions. His team came in and did the work right on time. I even had them do more stuff, as I was so pleased.
