As above... In addition, he explained everything he was doing, and answered all my questions in detail. I have, and will continue to recommend him in the future.
Description of Work: I am very pleased with all the electrical work Mr. Turgeon did. I have and older home, and I was concerned about the basic wiring and what it would take to repair. He came about 2 hours after I called him. After assessing the needed repairs, he explained what he planned to do,explained his charges and rate. He had everything he would need for the repair with him! It was quite obvious that he was very knowledgable about his trade, and I was very comfortable having him in my home to work. I will certainly call him again for any future problems, and I won't hesitate to recommend him to my friends.

Mo arrived right on time, got right to work, let me look over his shoulder. In short, I had a great day watching him go from one project to the next and learning a bit myself along the way.
Description of Work: I had assembled a laundry list of projects that Mo tackled for me, everything from lights in some very dark closets to rewiring my attic space and installing new smoke alarms. He also gave me good advice on best practices for safety, electrical grounding etc. I have another list for him, next time he comes over.
