"We just bought our house a month ago. These guys were great they came the next day. They tested, retired and cleaned up and Joe was super cool. He even came back the next day after I called back cause the same outlet wasn't working, or at least I thought it wasn't. Joe figured out that the outlet was attached to another switch, of which I knew nothing about. Joe was great and he solved something that I don't even think the previous owner knew anything about. Thank you guys and hope to work with you guys again in the future. "
