Expansion Project – Bowen Island Pizza

December 3, 2019/in Blog/by Cathy Wicks

We recently completed this expansion project for Bowen Island Pizza at Lonsdale Quay. Tenant improvement projects are one of our most enjoyable specialties. Working with the owners to create their lighting design, upgrade their electrical systems to handle new equipment and make their expansions dreams a reality is a very satisfying experience for our top-notch team of electricians. Next time you are craving pizza check out the new and improved eatery at Lonsdale Quay. The best pizza around – highly recommended by our ravenous crew!

Covenant House Sleep Out

April 4, 2019/in Blog, Distinction/by Cathy Wicks

Adam has raised over $6000 for homeless youth and will be sleeping on the street tonight.
A huge thank you to everyone who have helped with this amazing cause. I am deeply touched by all those who have donated.
8 degrees and rainy is the weather prediction for this evening.. It’s a reminder that so many of the youth we are raising funds for experience homelessness in the wet and uncomfortable weather we often experience herein Vancouver.

At Sleep Out, I’ll have some protection from the cold, wet weather. Young people facing homelessness are not as lucky. They’re often on the street with nothing but the clothes on their backs, with no shelter to protect them from the rainy conditions. Covenant House’s doors are open 24/7, 365 days a year, to offer them safety and sanctuary.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

The tradition continues! Every year Adam treats the crew to lunch and a pint of Guinness to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Many of us have Irish roots, especially the Wicks clan. May your Irish eyes be smiling!

We've worked with Wicks Electric on numerous residential and commercial renovations over the years. Their responsiveness and professionalism have always been top shelf. They always deliver a friendly, knowledgable service. We look forward to working with Adam and his crew for many years to come.

I highly recommend Wicks Electric. We called Wicks for advice on our condo renovation, and their communication and service were excellent - from the quote right through to scheduling and installation. Everyone at Wicks was friendly, professional and great to work with.

Absolutely highly recommend Wicks Electric for your home electrical services. I had two electricians do work in a condo I was renovating and on all 3 separate occasions that I needed service I was extremely pleased with the congenial, knowledgeable and efficient work performed. Again, I highly recommend this company - particularly because of the workers' abilities and friendliness. 5/5 !

We have been working with Wicks electric for close to three years and they are our go-to electrical contractors for commercial and high end residential jobs. Very detailed and precise, over-the-top clear communication, and most importantly clean job, inside and out. Highly recommended for high end jobs.

I contacted Wicks for a small job in my condo. The electrician was pleasant, polite, and professional. There was a complication in my job and he didn't hesitate to reach out for help. I would recommend this company without hesitation.

Wicks did a commercial project for me and everything went smoothly. They followed the quote they gave me prior and were able to finish the job in the timeframe that was allotted to get the job done. Overall, will use again and would recommend. A+

Thankyou to Wicks Electric (especially Cathy and Wyatt) for the wonderful service. I needed some under cabinet lighting repaired. The work was done so efficiently and also very well priced. It is a great feeling to know a trustworthy electrician.

Wicks Electric recently did two small jobs for us (installation of a new lighting fixture and a new bathroom fan). We were really pleased with the whole experience. We received a prompt and courteous response to our initial enquiry and scheduling was easy. The electrician was on time, organized, quick, and we're very pleased with the results - it's great to be able to check these items off our to-do list. I recommend Wicks Electric and will definitely use them again.

I’ve hired Wicks Electric both personally and referred them to general contractors. The result was the same, top-notch customer service and quality. Nothing but good feedback for these guys. If you are looking for a residential or commercial electrical contractor give these guys a shout.

As the owner of a Vancouver construction management company we have worked with many electrical trades over the past 10 years. I can say that Wicks Electric has been a pleasure to work with and we anticipate working with them for a very long time. Keep up the great work.

Adam & his team are incredible! They helped us with our new office renovation and were always available to help when we needed them. They were very respectful of our space and their service & work exceeded our expectations.

We needed small electrical work in our new office. We reached out to Wicks electrical and they replied to us with a quote immediately. Not even 24 hours later we had Max in our office installing lights. I was super impressed how fast they came out and completed the job. Max was awesome to work with. Super fast, clean and accurate. It’s not typical of trades to deliver fast and clean work let alone have a guy at your door step that fast. Highly recommend their services.

Wyatt installed baseboard heaters in our ?. He did excellent work at a perfectly fair price. He got everything done surprisingly quickly considering that our children were constantly trying to "help" him. Would call Wicks again without hesitation.

This is the second time we have used Wicks and are we glad we did!Starting from the first person who answered the phone (Ryan), to Cathy who called back to take my information to schedule the electrician and to the electrician himself (I asked my husband to get his name, but...) who knew exactly what to do and how to do it.Also, without naming the other company, we were given a quote for the same amount of work for $705! Wicks did it for more than $450 cheaper! Thank you very much to the team at Wicks! Do not change a thing, unless it is for the better, but really, how can it get much better than Wicks already is?

Excellent service. I've called Wicks for electrical work on my condo 4 times over the past 3 years and the service has been nothing short of excellent. Wyatt and Dean were both competent and professional and i will definitely call Wicks for any future electrical needs.

Look no further for an Electrician. Right from the start, my interaction with Cathy over the phone made me feel that I made the right decision in choosing Wicks. Cathy was professional, warm and responded quickly. Dean, the Electrician that came to deal with my electrical deficiencies was on time, so nice, professional, explained everything to me and finished the job quickly. I would HIGHLY recommend him, he was wonderful!

Great experience with Wicks. Quick return on my phone call, estimate was accurate, and electrician showed up right on time. We discussed the work and all implications before anything started then Bill just got it done. Totally great experience all around and next job I have I won't hesitate to call them back. 100% recommend.

Great service and great work.I've used Wicks twice in the last few years to wire in new ceiling lights and move/replace baseboard heaters. Both times they responded to my inquiry emails before the end of the day and were able to set up an appointment within a week. The work has always been well done and within the time estimates.I will be using Wicks again next time I need electrical work done.

Working as a Design Consultant I am frequently submitting quotations with electricians to get my clients and myself the best work and rates possible. When working with Wicks you can trust this team will give you the most detailed and honest quotes, and several options depending on your budget and needs.No matter if you’re doing a brand new commercial build or restoring a heritage coded apartment, you’re in good hands with this wonderful local company. Transparent Honest very clear communication. Oh ... and not a bad looking team ?

It was a great experience using Wick’s. Prior to my appointment, communication with Cathy was prompt and all my questions were answered. On the day of the appointment, at the time of the scheduled arrival, Luke called to say he was running late due to heavy traffic (he only arrived 5 or 10 minutes late from the scheduled start time, so it was no big deal anyway). What great customer service communication! When he arrived, he was courteous, professional and knowledgeable. He offered suggestions to the home issues, but never tried to upsell me. He worked hard all day, even skipping lunch. He finished all of the jobs that were required, in the time that he quoted. Everything works great. I’m so happy that I chose Wicks. I would use them again.

Daniela did fantastic work with my chandelier. It was an extremely tough job for one person - just getting the 15 ft ladder set up on her own was a project in itself! (I live in a loft with 17 ft ceilings.) I very much appreciated how respectful and efficient Daniela was, despite those challenges. I will be sure to recommend Wicks to family and friends for all of our electrical needs.

I engaged Wicks Electric to install custom lighting fixtures for my design project - LED alcove lights, wall sconces, pendants, and chandeliers. I was extremely pleased by their professional service! Their team were challenged with mounting a large 11 foot chandelier on a 22 foot high ceiling and Jacob executed the job seamlessly! It made my whole experience stress free. I highly recommend Wicks Electric for their highly qualified, experienced and friendly service!
