Serious electrical problem in my mother's house. Lightbulbs popping, computer out, power strips failing (actually working right by blowing), blinking lights. She got another electrician there who proposed $500 of work, replacing old fuse box. I didn't like what I heard, so I asked Lawrence to check it out. He found a loose neutral wire at the main breaker box, tightened it, and fixed the problem that the first electrician missed entirely. For the $150 house call he fixed the problem and gave me an assessment of the electrical systems in this 1942 house. He also prepared an estimate for rewiring the house, which seems quite reasonable ($5-7000 for a three story house with some upgrades).
Description of Work: located short (bad contacts) in home electrical system

It did not go well. The fact that he did not return to fix the job which he was paid to do, did not return calls or return to fix the job he was paid to do, I would never refer him to anyone.
Description of Work: They were asked to check outside electrical outlets for xmas lights that were not working. After approx. 15-20 mins. he said they were working fine - I paid Lawrence $150.00. When I tried to hang xmas lights, the outlets were not working. I made 3 calls to him to return to fix the outlets. He returned one call - didn't come to fix plugs and did not return last 2 calls. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND HIM!! I will now get an electrician recommended by Angies List to accomplish this job.
