"My wife enjoyed how non-evasive he was, as she was working from home that day. All work was completed, and there wasn't any hard up-selling for products or scare tactics, which occurred with a "well known" electric company. It was just a man who tried getting as much as possible done within the allotted time. We've since used him again."

"Great experience with this electrician! He did an excellent job replacing our kitchen light fixtures. Everything looks great, works perfectly, and they were professional, efficient, and clearly knew what they were doing. We especially appreciated that they came out on a Saturday, which was incredibly convenient. Highly recommend"
