Chris did a great job with the fixture. It was a little hard getting hold of him after the first call, and he was later than he said he would be, but as I had someone home to meet him, it was fine. The price was very reasonable, and the work done was excellent.

This is the second time he came out, checked something, and didn't charge us. We are calling him in a couple of months for a change to our system because are getting electric cars, and I wouldn't call anyone else. He's fair, nice and professional. He's worth calling always first!

Chris showed up on time. completed the work in a timely manner. He cleaned up after the work was completed. His price was fair and offered to attach the ceiling fan to the wall switch. Several other electricians I contacted did not offer this and one refused, telling me to buy fans with remotes. Chris kept us informed as to how the job was progressing. We are going to have can lighting installed in our master bath and will us him again. I would highly recommend him for any electrical work.

We wanted to have a ceiling fan put into our living room. Unfortunately there was no existing fixture in the ceiling so we had to have an existing electrical wire tapped into and a new fixture/mount needed to be created. Not the most fun of jobs when it's 90 degrees outside and over 100 in the attack which is where most of the work was done. Chris didn't seem to bat an eye with regards to doing the job and dealing with the heat. He gave me a fair quote over the phone and after checking his reviews I hired him for the job. Chris and his assistant arrived on time. They got the job done very quickly and it was done perfectly. I would definitely hire Chris for future Electrical needs.

Chris responded right away to my voicemail message and email. I was impressed that he fit me into his busy schedule the Friday after Thanskgiving. When Chris appeared on my door step, I recognized him right away -- as he is the same electrician I hired a few years ago to add an outlet in a walk in closet and mounted a TV in a guest room. All of his work is quality -- he knows his business. Chris is a very nice man.

Chris and his assistant showed up on time and were very professional. Chris walked around the house with me so I could show him what I needed done and he was very accommodating even making some suggestions of his own. They used drop cloths everywhere they worked so they wouldn't scratch the floors and even asked me about how low I wanted the chandelier to hang. They got up on a very high ladder to change it. It looks great! One of my patio lights was broken when they took it out of the box so they couldn't install it, but once I have it fixed Chris just told me to call him and he would come back and install it for me. We also had a couple of questions concerning some other plugs in the house and he was very nice about answering our questions. I purchased the offer he had for $649.00 and it was well worth it. I also feel better knowing that my lighting was installed by a professional. I would highly recommend Chris for all electrical jobs.

I used them about six months a go. I think he charged me about $800 in fact he is way under what everybody estimated. These people are awesome. They are honest and everything. Am going to use them again in about a month to do some more work. Am customizing my house and he is going to be doing security cameras, infra red tripwires, red beams running all over the place. He is so good and so honest that the army used him for about two months and he was doing all kinds of stuff for them. He is an awesome dude. He is very inexpensive too and he loves people. All the people that I choose are among the very best and they are honest. I just had my house remodeled and they didn't damage my stuff, the paint. He did it so perfect. He installed led lights in the ceiling in every room. It is truly amazing. It is unbelievable, it is spectacular.
Description of Work
I have an electrician, the name of the company is Chris the electrician. I went and bought some flood lights and he put for me electronic flood lights all over the trees, all over the house and the roof, everything. Like christmas carols, they change colors red, green, blue, yellow, they go fast, they go slow. You just plug them in.

Work was completed in the timely manner. Chris was upfront about what could and could not be done in relocating the electrical outlet. The areas of the house where Chris and his assistant work were left with any excess work materials cleaned up. I would call Chris again in the future for my electrical needs.

Now that we have the estimate, and the chain has been extended, we plan to call him soon.
Description of Work
I called for a quote to get a chandelier hung and a TV mounted. He gave me a quote immediately over the phone, with no problem. We plan to use him in the near future. I was very happy with his level of service. He let me know that I would have to take the chandelier to get the length of the chain and cord extended to 8 ft, first, and that is what we did.

I called Chris on a Friday evening and told him that the light wasn't working in the bathroom in my condo which I rent out. He said he had plans on Saturday but that he would work me in first thing in the morning before he went to his program because he understood the inconvenience of not having any light in the bathroom. He was prompt and professional. He figured out the problem and fixed it within an hour. Before calling Chris I had a large company send one of their electricians to evaluate the job. The person spent one hour evaluating the job and stated that he was unsure which wire was faulty and that he needed to return after the weekend and spend more hours figuring out the problem which could cost as high as $1,000.00 for his time. This large company charged me a service fee for the visit when they did nothing but give me bad information and sent me an incompetent electrician or a dishonest one. Chris had no problems figuring out the problem and fixing it and charged me around $100.00. He was competent, ethical and professional. I highly recommend him. Professionals like Chris are few and far between these days.

Chris was great, he showed up on time, quickly inspected the situation, alerted me to an issue, and got the job done. I was pleasant, cleaned up after himself, and worked hard while he was here. His pricing is solid, through I would have liked a more significant discount on the angie deal I purchased. Thanks Chris!

It was not really great. I paid a lot more extra for the lights. The lights will last longer. I used them for my inside lighting also. I waited a while for them to come out. Each light was about 55$.

He does what he says he will do. He does good quality work and he is very personable. He is young and knows the latest. I would recommend him. One time he went on vacation and I told him the lights in my office were not an emergency and when he came back, he fixed them.

Chris is excellent! I first called Chris a couple of weeks ago when a couple of my automatic sprinkler wires had broken outside and the existing connections were down to the nub. Chris came out within 20 minutes (!) and quickly and easily re-connected my sprinkler wires. When I asked how much it would be, he said "I can't charge you for this - it only took a few minutes". That was quite impressive to say the least as many contractors would have charged me for a service call as a minimum. I then asked Chris to look at installing a separate shut-off switch for my automatic garage door. His price was reasonable and he installed that within a week. I then needed a new separate outlet as my sprinkler control box was on the same circuit. Chris came out today and very quickly and cleanly did that job. Chris is extremely responsive, prompt, professional, and produces very high quality work. A real pleasure to work with. I will definitely be calling Chris again whenever I have additional electrical needs!
