Very satisfied with his work. He installed an insulated double door, put in a new window for me, and did electrical work in my chicken coop. Everything has been working great since he installed them over a year ago 👍🏻 Would definitely recommend Alpha Electric!

"Aaron the owner came out on a weekend too do a wiring inspection on a house my wife and I just moved into. I made several calls trying too find an electrician and in a timely manner. Several tried to upcharge (and didnâ t know I am a licensed contractor in the state I just moved from. ) He provided not only honest answers but a fair affordable price that I can safely feel confident calling again for any further electrical needs"
