The problem was resolved after thorough inspection as to what was causing the outage of the outlets. He also replaced a couple of outlets that needed repair. Very happy and will use again.

George arrived on time despite bad weather conditions.  He is obviously very experienced and well versed in his trade.  He is friendly and respectful.  All very positive traits.
My job consisted of adding a switch and running new wires about 5-6 ft to add a new light in a closet, as well as patching up the drywall that needed to be cut.  George arrived at 9:00 and completed the job at 1:00pm (he took a 30 minute lunch).  I also asked him to fix a Z-wave 3 way switch, but George briefly took a look and told me that these new radio-frequency switches are not his specialty.   Total bill for materials and labor ran $357. 
I think for electrical work (or any job in general) it is wiser to negotiate a price per job rather than price per hour.

I met George The Electrician today.  I hired him to repair 4 recessed lights in my kitchen that for the past few years have gradually stopped working.  He called me 24 hours in advance to confirm our appointment.  He arrived on-time, was very professional and courteous.   I explained to him the problem I had, and he said..."I know exactly what it is.." and went straight to work.  He was diligent and had the parts he needed in his truck.  After 1.5 hours, my kitchen was well lit, looking like it did when I first had it remodeled.  He cleaned up after the job was done.  Fair price for a job well done.  Thank you, George.  Will definitely call upon you again.

Details: 3 days before we were due to leave for 5 days we had what seemed a broken pool timer, which controls the main Filter Pump + Air-switches etc. So, naturally we called the local Pool Company since they worked on our equipment before (long story). In short, the pool company  installed a new timer and at first glance it seemed to work until the next morning when it tripped the main breaker for the entire Sub-Panel. All we could do was leave everything shut down and worry about it after we got back. This was obviously a bigger problem then anticipated.
Therefore I called George The Electrician  (he worked on our house and our son's house before and I knew that he was the only one we could trust with electrical issues, even though he said he normally does not work on pool equipment. But with his expertise and workmanship combined with the old fashion Customer Service he can handle any electrical problem).
As usual George was prompt and  had  to figure out what went wrong  - that by itself was a "brain-scratcher" due to the complexity of our system.
George's persistence to get to the bottom of the matter was remarkable.  He found all the mistakes the pool-electrician made and why things happened the way they did. George methodically fixed all the problems, then put all the wires neatly and properly back into the tight wire-box, secured the air-switches etc. Before leaving he made sure that everything worked as it should.  Now even things that did not work and we assumed were broken are working in harmony again.
If it wasn't for George,  we foolishly would have made the mistake again to hire that pool company and would have  needlessly also replaced a 4 jet spa booster- pump and air-switches...
Thanks George -  you saved the day

He came out on Saturday as he did not have an opening for me sooner which i appreciated as we were expecting guests. Only a skilled electrician could have resolved these wiring issues.

Once again, George was a real pro and knocked out this job in a few hours.  He installed two new outlets in my garage/man cave and troubleshot a light fixture that was in one of the bedrooms.  After detrmining that the light fixture was bad and needed a transformer, we made the decision to get a new ceiling fan/light fixture and he agreed to install that on the job as well.  The work was performed on the spot and while I ran to home depot to get a ceiling fan, he knocked out the outlets in the garage.  He is very prompt, professional and easy going.  We feel comfortable having him do work for us and as always the price is right.

I knew that this wasn't going to be an easy job, having to crawl around in a blazing hot attic, but George was up to the challenge!  I managed to get as much of the "prep work" done ahead of time (centering the fan locations in all 3 bedrooms and installing 2x4's between the joists as needed). All George needed to do was cut the 4 inch hole for the overhead fan box, run the Romex from the fan box to the top plate down the wall to a new 2 gang light switch and install the fans. George was very helpful and even recommended installing remote control units (which were not included with any of our 3 fan kits).  Must say...that was a great idea!  George even went as far as to replace a bad outlet for us at no charge (it had fried years ago when a lamp shorted out).  Look forward to having George back to serve us for all our electrical needs!

George scheduled an immediate apt and was professional, knowledgeable and quickly identifed and corrected faulty GFI electrical oultet in master basthroom and bad wire coupling. He also checked other house circuits to ensure no shorts or other faulty wiring. Had great suggestions on wiring garage lighting system and provided tips--i.e. place small amount of petroleum jelly on end of light bulbs before screwing them into socket to make future replacements easier. Delightful guy!

George arrived promptly and listened to what my problem was.  He diagnosed the problem and provided a solution.  The problem turned out to be with the pool light which he then referred my to a pool company.  While he was there, replaced a GFR outlet which was close to failing.

This man is a gem!  We have some rental property about an hour down south and had a call from a tenant that her power went out, during a rainstorm at that!  Under the circumstances, we were responsible for putting her up in a hotel if we couldn't get it fixed quickly.  Mr McCutcheon ( aka The Electrician) came out almost immediately, despite the weather, and restored her power within just a few hours, working in the rain.  He called us promptly to let us know the job was done.  Happy tenant, very happy landlord!!

  As we are 50 miles north of the property we rarely have the opportunity to check the adequacy of repairs.  We can't even check whether they are necessary or not.  So, we need workmen who are competent, honest, fairly priced, and who get back to us in good time to let us know what they found and what they did..  Mr McCutcheon fits all these categories and happens also to be an extremely personable and nice man.  We recommend him without reservations to any and all.

I called The Electrician (George) on Monday and scheduled an appointment on Friday to remove and replace some old security light wiring from a DIY job I did some 10-15 years ago.
Scheduling went without a hitch.  George called the day before to confirm the appointment and he arrived 15 minutes early on the day of the appointment.  We went over what I needed done and he quoted me a price of $300 for 3 hours work to remove old wiring,  install some conduit, an outlet and new wiring.  About 2 1/2 hours later he finished and walked me thru what he had done.  A perfect hassle free job.  I would definitely hire him again!
