It was a little high but I needed it done. I'd used him before. It was higher than I thought it was going to be but it was fine. It worked out okay.

Called Keith on Monday. He indicated he would call the next day to set up a time to do the work. He called Tuesday and we settled on Wednesday morning at about 9:00am. He came by on time and we reviewed what I wanted done. He completed the work in about two hours. Had to do some modifications to fit the new fixtures to the existing junction boxes. Completed and tested and all worked fine. Looks very nice at night.
Keith is punctual, easy to work with and dependable. We plan to use his services for future electrical upgrades.

Keith the owner came to our house with a young boy helper named Jacob. We called them because our timer box that turns the front of the house flood lights on at night did not work. They immediately found that something was tripping the breaker. After three and a half hours searching for the problem, I finally told them that unless they find the issue within the next 30 minutes, I will call someone else to fix the problem. Miraculously they suddenly found the issue and fixed it and gave me a bill for their time, $450
(no parts were necessary). My wife and I feel that we were ripped off and we will make sure that none of our neighbors will ever make the same mistake as we made - calling them to fix a problem

We live in a 1926 tudor that had no outdoor electrical outlets at the front of the house. The crawl space is claustrophobic at best ... and nearly non-existent in some places. So, needless to say, this was a difficult job from the beginning. They not only installed an outlet on either side of the front door, but also added a couple of indoor outlets by the front door that are much more convenient than what we had before. As a final touch, they suggested installing a timer to control the outdoor outlets, which has been great for landscape lighting.
Overall, they did a thorough job, providing quality work ... especially considering the logistics of navigating the small space under our house. I believe that they go beyond what is requested which, in the long run, will likely provide trouble-free installations. I'd certainly call them again.

I called the service number and a female took information about what i wanted done and where. Keith called and we discussed the work. I did not have the new ceiling fan yet, but knew what I wanted. He was flexible and kind enought to schedule the appointment later that day, so I'd have time to get the ceiling fan. He and his associate arrived promptly as scheduled. I explained the work to be done. He and his associate completed the work for both fans in about an hour. He explained the remote control for the new fan and was more than willing to answer any questions. He is a very likeable guy, and did quality work. He is at the top of my Angie's reference list and I would definitely use him in the future!

I was pleased with them. I've called them a couple of times. I was especially pleased with how quickly they responded. I called them late at night and the guy was here at 7 the next morning. It is a small mom and pop company. They accessed what needed to be done, did the job, packed up and left. There was no wasted motion and no hanging around. I would absolutely use them again; they are here in my call them if I need them book.

A 220v circuit for our furnace had never been hooked up. The breaker box was full and the wire had been run, but left unconnected. In order to remedy this, Mr. Cathey had to remove and replace a number of breakers with "half-height" units to make room, and then add the 220 breakers for the furnace. He and his assistant also checked all connections in the attic at the furnace as well as at the breaker box in the garage. In addition, he noticed that a code required light fixture had never been installed in the attic - although the circuit and box were there - so he installed one for me.

I called Keith on 06/21 to install a 70 inch ceiling fan on my 18ft ceiling. He set an appt for the next day, showed up on time brought 3 different size ladders and 1 assistant. He additionally installed a light in my 18ft entry way. Keith and his team are professional and very friendly. Excellent service, excellent price!!!!

Called his number from Angiue's List at app. 10:30 am 10/27/2009 and left message with answering machine. Keith returned the call at app. 1:30 that same day. Explained to him the problem of a disconnected 220 volt wire behind the new stove at the back of the wall socket. Old stove had caused? the wire to pop off he screw and tripped the elctrical box switch. Found all this out when the new stove was being installed. The clock worked but not the burners. He had some thoughts on what happened and why and what he would need to do. Estimated the job at between $115 and 120. He and Paul were able to come by and fix the problem the same day. Good work and the price was $115.00

Called for service Friday am. Told me they would be at the location Friday afternoon. Two workers arrived at 2 pm and began the work. They were both very professional and corrected my electrical problems. By 4 pm they had completed the work. Explained the problem, then corrected it. I was very impressed with the total service!

I had a blackout a couple months ago, November? Called Keith, he came out within 40 minutes and patched up a fix so I had electricity. Said he'd call in a few weeks to replace that main breaker box. After a month, I finally got him to admit he's been busy and "hadn't forgot me". On Dec 18th, he finally came out and did the work. Keith's a good man. His helper, Paul, is too. They both are friendly, polite and apparently very competent in their work. They left a mess, the old box and pieces of cable, etc. I did not call him back about the mess. The breaker box is working really well and I will definitely call him with any future needs. I've used him before. How can we judge a price? When we have no comparison to be made. I felt $850 was high, but after all, he did do the work and that's what is important.

Very pleasant experience. I called at 9:30 AM on Monday, and they said they'd be ''right out''. From Red Oak to Midlothian. When they arrived, went right to work. After discovering excess corrosion and unable to unscrew parts, we discussed replacing the main breaker. They left to get parts and returned later to finish the work. I am well pleased.

KEITH ARRIVED WITHIN AN HOUR OF MY CALL FOR HELP. HE WORKED DILIGENTLY IN THE FIREPLACE AND IN THE ATTIC TO FIND A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND EVEN CONFERRED WITH A COLLEAGUE OVER THE PHONE. THEY DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.
