"They reached out quickly to me and discussed the job and arranged a time to come and give a estimate. Rob showed up on time and was knowledgeable and helpful. I accepted the estimate and arranged a time for the work to be done. Once again Rob showed up on time prepared to do the work. He complained the job in the amount of time given. The work that was done was well done and very professional. He was very helpful and easy to work with. Also he was able to answer any questions that I had. I would recommend them to do work for others and will be hiring them again for any future work that needs to be done. Thanks Rob. Appreciate the work you did."

"The gentleman who showed up was prompt and very courteous, but unfortunately that was the only positive thing I can say.He was here for 40 minutes, charged me 200 dollars and told me he couldnâ t fix it in my garage, because the oil was sludge and he may or may not be able to fix it, but he would have to take it back to the shop and it would cost me 80 dollars an hour to try to fix it.When I gave him a check for his time and asked for a receipt, he looked at me like I was asking for a kidney, and wrote something down on apiece of notebook paper, which was supposed to be a receipt.It was not an invoice with the company name or any reference to their business license.I later received an explanation from somebody in the office, that they would send me an invoice for the work done.I have never had any contractor not present a proper business receipt to me when I have given them a check, prior to this."

As a child, riding around with my father, he would often point out homes that he had remodeled. It seemed almost every street we turned down had a house with some aspect of it that he had touched. The variety of places he would work and the distances he would travel led me to take up a trade as well. I gravitated toward the remodeling aspect of the electrical trade early on and have built my business on remodels/renovations over the last 18 years. Be it a simple powder room or major department store, I have tackled every size renovation, and for the past 27 years, always taken pride in my work and satisfaction from a job well done.

"Very professional and quick diagnostic, resulted in an effective repair"
