Sterling did a great job from start to finish. We were doing a home addition and they were very thorough by asking what all our needs were and by sharing options. Then, they were very prompt to get the work done at a very reasonable price. They were professional and kind and well educated.

Great company for professional electrical work. I fit about as many odd jobs around the house as I could think of and George got it all knocked out in a day.

Had a great experience with Jim at Sterling Electric. We had to install our hot tub and a few light fixtures. Jim explained the entire process in details and gave a couple of options based on our budget. The project took a day and it all went pretty smooth. Would recommend 10/10

Jim was on time (actually a little early), professional, courteous, and responsive to my requests. He even completed a couple of extra tasks that I "added on" while he was here for the scheduled service. I recently relocated to Fort Wayne, and this is the 2nd time I've used Sterling for electrical work in my home. I highly recommend them!
