My current job has worked with this electrician company a couple of times now and they’ve been consistently great! They helped us fix an issue with our electrical box in our sound room and previously took care of a problem with one of our light fixtures.

They’re reliable, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They showed up on time, explained what was going on in a way that made sense, and made sure everything was taken care of before leaving. You can tell they really know what they’re doing and take pride in their work.

Overall, just a solid, trustworthy team. We’ll definitely be reaching out to them again in the future and would recommend them to anyone looking for dependable electricians!

I recommend Rick for anyone's electrical needs. After explaining my issue, hearing his service fees, he suggested I do some diy given the simplicity, and if I needed assistance I could call him for guidance at no charge. Luckily I was able to resolve the issue, but not without his suggestion. His rates were fair and he was honest and kind over the phone. We need more people like Rick.
