They were quick to respond to my request, they came the next day after I put the request to give an estimate and did the work same day. They did the work I asked for and did not try to sell me more services like others did.. They gave me a price for the scope I showed them without making it sound more complicated than it really is. So 5 stars our of 5 on integrity. I did not give them full 5 stars because I forgot to tell them how to set my light color for the under cabinet lights (light temperature) and they just did it without asking me. I paid double price for the lights because of this feature so I can decide how I like the color. I may have to take the lights down to reset it.

Walt and his helper Fernando (co-electrician, apprentice, not sure) did a fine job with my difficult projects, ones another electrician was afraid to tackle. They worked fast, neatly, and got all the jobs done perfectly. I'll have him back for more projects, and am very pleased with the work.

Great job! Walt not only asked questions to assure all details of my outdoor lighting was to my satisfaction, but helped me select the best of three options, offered suggestions to enhance the install, and made HD and supplier trips for right parts--he was thorough, cleaned up after completion, was fair in pricing. I am so pleased to now have a trusted professional for my future projects and one I can refer with confidence. Thank you Walt!!

We needed 2 ceiling fans to be installed in our house. Contacted Walt through Home Advisor on Friday. He replied very quickly and his partner arrived the next day (Saturday). We are very pleased with Walt's work and will definitely use him for anything electrical.

Walt did a very good job. The only problem was when he installed the ceiling fan it was a faulty fan. He had to go to Home Depot and purchase another one. It was not his fault!! He did an outstanding job all the way around!!

Walt and his co-worker were great. I had expected him to come a few days after I called...he came the same day! He picked up what I needed, installed it, gave me a few tips, then he was on his way. only took a couple of hours. he was great!

Walt is a very experienced professional! When he read that my project involved problems with a dead circuit in my outdoor patio lighting, he immediately suspected it might involve an outdoor circuit breaker. He realized that he did not have a replacement on his truck, so he took the time to stop and buy one BEFORE he came to my house. Sure enough, he was correct and the part that he bought saved the day and was the key to a successful project. In addition, he drew my attention to several other areas that were also not up to standard and fixed them all before they could give me trouble....all on the same very fair service charge! His assistant, Tim. was also very knowledgeable and reset all my electrical timers for me at no extra charge. I would definitely use Walt for any future electrical work, and recommend him highly!

Walt is so diligent and pays extreme attention to detail. He is also professional, prompt, reliable and has done a great job for me on a variety of projects, from electrical repair to fixtures and outlets, as well as doing the electrical work on my hot tub. I would not use anyone else for electrical work.

We had had an electrician out before Walt arrived. The first person could not fix our problem, so we were very happy with Walt's work and would definitely rehire him.

He was prompt, knowledgeable and professional---we will call him for our next electrical problem. He fixed broken outlets in both bathrooms and was reasonably priced also.
