About Premier Electrical Contractors Inc

Michael Livia comes from a family of licensed electricians. His grandfather held a license, his father held one, and his brother holds one today. Michael opened Premier Electrical Contractors Inc on September 15, 1994, and he has worked the same trade in the same borough ever since. Thirty years in one place means seeing the same problems over and over: knob and tube wiring hiding behind plaster in Port Richmond and Stapleton, aluminum branch circuits in the Great Kills and Eltingville houses that went up in the late sixties, and service panels that sat under salt water after a storm on the East Shore.

Michael holds NYC Master Electrician License 11210. In New York City, that license is what allows electrical work to be filed with the Department of Buildings, which covers permits through DOB NOW, city inspections, and the Certificate of Electrical Inspection at the end of the job. An unlicensed handyman cannot file any of it, and that gap is what leaves homeowners with work that will not pass and violations that will not close. Premier is also an approved Home Depot Pro referral contractor, a Lowes approved contractor, and an approved Tesla charger installer through Charge Home Solutions, so anything electrical those stores sell can be installed properly and signed off. What the business stands for has not changed in thirty years: fair pricing with quality work.

Michael was born and raised in New York City, and the shop sits on Granite Ave in Staten Island, not in another county. He works one borough, which is why the truck gets to your house quickly and why he runs into his customers at the hardware store. It is also why the work gets done the way he would want it done at his own house. All nine of the company's reviews are five stars, every job carries a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee, estimates are free, and there is no trip fee. After thirty years, a lot of these houses are not new to him.
