Coastal Electric

Coastal came everyday until they finished. There attention to detail was Impeccable. Coastal old school hard work ethic and insight really helped.

Cecil responded quickly after I contacted him, came over to review the work needed, provided his estimate, and performed the work quickly.  I had just moved into an older house, and wanted the electrical work completed before I brought in painter, insulation contractors, etc..  As we discussed the work, Cecil made several suggestions to reduce cost and difficulties, and improve results.  In the end, the work included: 

replace existing ceiling light fixtures throughout the house (I bought the lights in the living space and front porch, he bought the lights in the basement, closets, and stairs),

upgrade two prong outlets to grounded outlets throughout the house

add new lights in the kitchen, basement, stairs, and several closets

installed a doorbell and two hard wired carbon monoxide/smoke detectors

provided and installed a whole-house surge protector

install a new outside outlet in back

Cecil was great at explaining what he was doing, and why he recommended changes.  He was here when he said he would be, did the work quickly and professionally, while also being very friendly and helpful.  I called him early this year for additional work (replacing the electric main panel), and will ask him to do more work.

Why didn't I provide this rating sooner?  Back in January, I didn't see the option to rate a new contractor on the ratings page.
