Job went great. Edgar came out to do a free estimate. We talked through several options and he patiently explained each one. We settled on a way forward. Prior to the job, he explained any potential changes and hindrances. He communicated well during the job, and walked with me after the job. Highly recommend his services.

They replaced 40 outlets, moving 1. One that was working before Harvey does not work, one that did not work still does not work, the one that was moved and one other tripped the breaker when tested. They did nothing to resolve the issues and would not discuss alternatives for the secondary breaker box. They were there less than 4 hours.
Description of Work: I needed the outlets that were below the water level during Harvey changed and I needed to determine alternatives to provide more power to my secondary breaker box.

It went better than I could have imagined. From the time I contacted Edgar, he was able to come to my house and within 2 days they were onsite to complete the work. The workers were very knowledgeable and worked efficiently. They showed up on time, and cleaned up afterwards. Very professional group.
Description of Work: I had all of the lights inside my house replaced.

They did an excellent job. When they gave us an estimate they gave us four different levels of repairs. They are all registered technicians and have their license. They are all very good. It was expensive. They did everything inside and outside. They also offer plumbing services as well. I didn't use them for that but they came and looked at something for me and said I didn't need any work done.
Description of Work: They totally re wired the house.
