"While the project is not yet finished, I have to share that Rich has devoted a significant amount of time in the creative issue of installing an electrical barrier around an existing fence. My small but strong dog keeps scaling the fence. Rich stays in contact with me to keep me updated. I got a lotta respect for this gentleman!"

"The work David did was very professional and he paid close attention to details. The new service line runs in conduit through the garage and David did a great job installing the conduit with multiple bends or curves so it is out of the way and protected. There were two electricians and a helper on the job. David worked on the service line, meter connection, and master cut-off switch.

I would give the job an A for quality except that when the new circuit breaker box was connected to the house wiring no record was kept to match the old circuit numbers to the numbers in the new box.

A second electrician installed the new circuit breaker box and connected it to the house wiring, and continued working after David left for another job. When I asked the second electrician about mapping the circuits I was told he and the helper would do that at the end and that he never tries to keep track of the old circuit numbers and the identifications listed in the old box because they are often incorrect and he would rather re-map them. He tried to use the electronic circuit detector--it is plugged into an outlet and then the breaker is detected in the basement. That didn't work well so they started turning breakers on and off to see which outlets were associated with a circuit. In the end less than half of the circuits were identified by them and I had to determine which circuits controlled the kitchen appliances, furnace, ceiling lights, outdoor lights, and the majority of the outlets. If he had kept track of the relationship between the old circuit breaker box identification numbers and the new box, it would have saved him and me a lot of time and effort.

"I needed a lamp repair, but this company does not repair lamps. The electrician took the lamp to his van and did a repair that is working for me. It is guaranteed for one year from the date of the repair. He was creative with the repair, but it is not the same exact switch because he had to supply his own wit and parts to repair the lamp."

"We had a great experience getting our patio done. Nate was communicative throughout the entire project, always keeping us informed on progress and any issues they encountered along the way. He also made a point to stop by in person to review everything and talk things through, which we really appreciated. Their availability was very flexible, making the whole process easy to coordinate. Most importantly, the final result is absolutely beautiful! We are so happy with how it turned out and look forward to spending time on it this summer!"

"I sent the money and dimensions in in November 2011.  She responded back very quickly, informed me that she was very busy and wouldn't be able to start on my project for a couple of weeks.  I actually responded that that was fine.  After a month or so with no contact, i emailed.  She emailed  right back, apologized and asked for some more measurements.  I sent them.  Didn't hear anything, when in response to inquiry, she asked again for living room measurements-- that was Feb. 3rd.  On Feb. 20th, I emailed and asked for timeline.  She responded back the next day with 3 designs asking for my preference.  I emailed back on the 22nd of Feb with my preference.  On March 16th, I inquired again as to timeline for completion.Two weeks later she sent a concept board with some furnishings.  No window coverings or lights were suggested.  Three were multiple rugs with no direction of which one for each room.  All and all, not a pleasant experience.  I suspect I could have gotten better service using Pottery Barn's free design service (especially since most of the furnishings came from there.)"

Lighting questions, answered by experts

If half of a string of Christmas lights is out, it is likely because of a single burned-out, loose, or broken bulb within that section. Long strands of lights often contain more than one circuit, so when one bulb fails, it can cause the entire circuit (or half the strand) to go dark. To fix this, inspect the unlit section and test each bulb to ensure it is tight and functioning properly. Replacing the faulty bulb or repairing a damaged shunt will typically solve the problem.

Cold weather can cause older incandescent Christmas lights to fail by causing cracks in the finish or the glass itself. Modern LED lights are affected in the opposite way and perform even better as the temperature drops. 

Outdoor lighting repairs typically take between 1-3 hours. The exact duration can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the problem, the extent of the damage, and the ease of access to the lighting fixtures and wiring.

If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.

While wet-rated and damp-rated lighting is designed to handle contact with moisture, there’s a difference between the two. Wet-rated lighting is safety-rated to be placed in areas with direct exposure to water, including your shower. Fixtures classed as wet-rated are made with waterproof seals to protect the filament and other electrical components from water and moisture. 

Damp-rated fixtures can be used in places with some moisture contact, but not direct exposure. They don’t have the same waterproof seals used in wet-rated fixtures. Damp-rated lighting can be used on your bathroom ceiling or along a wall outside of your shower.
