Woodbridge Electricians Earn Trusted Contractors Spot in Washingtonian

Woodbridge, VA, August 2, 2013—Root Electric’s residential electricians in Woodbridge have been listed in the Washingtonian’s “Home Contractors You Can Trust” review in the August 2013 edition of the magazine. The article highlights the difficulties many homeowners face when seeking a contractor, and then provides a short list of local companies with high customer reviews and excellent ratings with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Bill Root, head of his family-run team of Northern Virginia electricians says they are excited to have made the list and will keep providing the same high-caliber service that put them on the list in the first place.


The “Home Contractors You Can Trust” article quotes Debbie Farson of HomeWise Referrals, discussing the importance of carefully selecting an experienced residential electrician, even for seemingly simple jobs: “You have a light fixture you want switched out and your handyman says he can do it. But your handyman isn’t an electrician, so he’s literally playing with fire.” She adds that homeowners need to do their homework when choosing an electrician or other home contractor. She urges them to check references, the BBB, the company’s insurance and that they have a contractor’s license (not a business license).


Master electrician Bill Root says his squad of Northern Virginia electricians has always focused on doing the best job for each customer every day. “Of course we like getting these awards, but the best award is just knowing that we made a customer’s home work better, safer and brighter than before—and knowing we made them happy. We strive for very high quality standards in our electrical work, but also in our customer service. Bottom line: we aren’t happy until our customer is happy. Safety and customer satisfaction are number one for us.”

They have maintained an A+ rating with the BBB for several years and have also won the Best of Prince William County Reader’s Choice Award for residential electricians as well.


When asked what is next for Root Electric, Bill Root replied, “More of the same. When someone calls our office in need of a residential electrician, they will talk with an actual residential electrician, not an assistant or receptionist. They will have their questions answered directly and honestly. We will do our best work for each customer every day and make sure they stay safe and happy.”
