Went well. I would hire them again. Down to earth, straight forward, showed up early (which always works for me). Didn't try to sell me may extras.
Description of Work: Replaced switch on bedroom ceiling light/fan that had stopped working. Would have replaced bathroom fan, but I bought the wrong sized replacements. Checked electrical issues in basement and garage. Discussed aluminum wire issues I still have in my house and my options for dealing with them.

I had some glitches, due to the fact that one of the fans that I bought was defective. Rich and his coworker tried to figure out what was wrong, and determined the defect. So, I had to return that one, and get another one, and they had to come back to install the second one at a later time. They worked very quickly, knowing exactly what they were doing, and it looked great when they were done! Everything under their control went smoothly! They didn't waste anytime, and got right to work. They were very professional, and told me beforehand what to do, as far as putting a sheet down to minimize cleanup. I would definitely hire again for other projects. In fact, I spoke to them about some possible plans I had for this fall.
Description of Work: I had two ceiling fans with lights replaced, with new ones installed.

The repair required the replacement of about 25 feet of entrance cable, the service entrance hood, wire clamps and connectors, and re-connections to the existing meter socket and electric company's wires. Everything went well. The job was completed in about two hours. Subsequently, the electrical work was inspected and passed without issue (Note: the inspection was a separate cost by a third party) . Overall, I am very pleased and would highly recommend this electrician.
