First off, his wife (office manage) was wonderful, I was contacted within 12 hours of asking for a quote and Jackie was very accurate with details, pricing and she scheduled me in almost immediately. She quoted me around $550 and it only needed up costing me $375.00. It's a nice change to have an electrician come in and do the work and realize it's not as hard as they quoted you and charge you the correct price for the work. He easily could of charged me what she initially quoted me and I never would have known. It's truly appreciated! Clarence arrived on time and was very fast and extremely efficient in going over the where I wanted the lights placed and then he got started! He was here for about 3 1/2 hours and finished the job wonderfully. He left my room clean and beautiful. He also made sure I knew how to work all the lights and remotes before he left. I would absolutely use them again! Look no further!!! On a side not, the majority of quotes I received were around $700-900. I felt very like Jackie and Clarence treated me very fairly and I truly appreciated it.
Description of Work: Clarence installed 6 LED can lights and he removed a ceiling fan and installed a new one.

This was the second time Mr. Read (Clarence) has done a project for us. The first time he installed a new exhaust fan and light and did it quickly and at less cost than expected. This time, the problem was discovered late on a Thursday. Jackie, the Office Manager went out of her way to get us scheduled and to help be sure that Clarence would have what he needed to have to be able to complete the job. She scheduled him for 10:00 on Friday morning but he came at 8:00, diagnosed the problem and was on his way in 30 minutes. The work was done expertly and the price was better than expected.
Description of Work: Our A/C stopped and the technician said the problem was a circuit breaker.

I was very pleased with their work, the lady that answered the phone was very knowledgeable about what the problem probably was. She even gave me a few tips to see if it was something I had overlooked and wouldn't need an electrician after all. we soon figured that I would and she sent her husband (the electrician) out as soon as was convenient for both parties. He fixed the problem at a very timely matter and and a very reasonable price. I would definitely use them again in the future for any electrical needs.

Thoroughly professional from first confirmation call to finish. Arrived on time, with a pre-arrival call a few minutes earlier since it was an early (7:30 am) appointment, just to make sure we were fit to accept company. He first confirmed the course of work we had discussed when he came to give an estimate. He worked quickly and cleanly, which is no small task given he was running the cable thru our attic and loads of messy insulation that always gets everywhere whenever I have to go up there. Everything works perfectly and is much tidier coming out of wall. We're very pleased with the work and definitely hire Mr. Read again.
Description of Work: Ran a new cable for our DSL to a new part of the house.

Clarence is a very, very pleasant polite guy who came to my home exactly on time an installed an outlet that was missing for the microwave above the oven. He did a very clean job and routed the wire behind the wall without having to cut the drywall.. His wife Jacki who takes care of all the details and follows up very well is also a very pleasant person. I would recommend them to anyone.
