363118NM licenceThe record

No gallery. A licence number and thirty-eight permits.

Schmidt Electrical Contracting does not publish a portfolio, so there is nothing here dressed up as one. What there is instead is public record: a current New Mexico contractor licence, three years of pulled permits across Albuquerque addresses, and eighty-five ratings left by people who paid for the work.

Brent Schmidt runs it. His name and this phone number appear in the permit descriptions themselves, which is a fair indication of who turns up.

One review is worth more than the other eighty four.

Brent and his team were very professional. They worked efficiently and quickly. They did such a great job in my house that my contractor hired them for additional work. I will definitely use Brent and his team again.

Another contractor watched the work happen and then hired them himself. That is a harder recommendation to buy than a star average.

The two service men were courteous, professional, friendly and efficient. All of my questions were answered and I am very satisfied with the quality of work performed.

Fantastic install. Took them very little time and it works like a charm. I would highly recommend them. They are a very honest, hardworking local group!
Kiyun L.via HomeAdvisor
I hired them to install a whole house fan in June 2019 and five months after, it is working great... They did an excellent job and craftsmanship was really good. They were professionals through and through and my experience and their quality of work was great.
