Amazing. Very collaborative. Spent the time up front and at key points collaborating with us to get the design that would work. Very easy to work with. Did what they said. If anyone wants to reach out to me I can explain the details of how complex this was and what a great team they were.

Frank did a great job! He arrived right on time and put up two ceiling fans in an hour! We then hired him to come another time to replace a chandelier in a room with 20’ ceiling. It was tricky but he did just what we wanted. We will call him again if we need anything electrical.

Very professional company, timely and very tidy work performance. You can't see where the wires were installed. Several neighbors also decided to install outdoor accent lighting. They are equally as pleased as we are.
