We had Heath wire and install a whole house fan as well as a ceiling fan in our pergola, exterior electrical outlets, and lighting. Would hire him again and again. He’s very professional, leaves the place spotless, and charges a fair rate.

Brandon was very good about answering any questions I had about insulating my attic. The price he quoted is the price I paid. He and his crew showed up on time and did a great job. I would recommend him to anyone.

"Amanda was really very good! At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it. It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about. I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!
