He is absolutely a gem. He is polite. He is courteous. He is considerate. He is easy to work with. He actually a wonderful man. The only drawback is that English is his second language, so sometimes it takes a little while to understand him; but that's rare, and it is more than acceptable, given what a truly wonderful workman and human being he is. I just wanted to give him the tops in terms of a report on him.
Description of Work: They performed work for me. Installation of electrical equipment, rerouting of wires to a circuit-breaker for fire safety purposes, and general electrical work.

It went very well. Pleasant to work with, right on time. There was re-wiring involved and a trip to the store. While it took several hours, the overall price, including hardware, was fair. Also, they were the only one interested in helping on a relatively small job, ad they were wiling to come back to do more of the same when ready.
Description of Work: Checked wiring and wall sockets to determine which switches went to which lights. Reattached lights. Installed new lights.

Ertan Atalay was extremely accommodating. He was on-time, very experienced, and provided impeccable service. The prices were terrific on all visits. Ertan is very personable and easy to work with, especially when I explained my wife's instructions and desired results.
Description of Work: In our new condo in SF, we needed several new outlets and dimmers installed, and later, additional light fixtures. They also helped on hiding wiring from a wall-mounted Plasma TV to an out of sight outlet, leaving the wall very clean-looking.

Ertan did great work, was very helpful and cooperative, and did the work when he said he would. His price was reasonable. I don't often recommend contractors, but I unhesitatingly would in Ertan's case.
Description of Work: Installed 25 recessed ceiling lights, a number of additional circuits, numerous additional outlets and other general electrical work on my condo in SF with a city permit.

I needed someone to come and rewire the entire house and I needed it done fast. This was the only company I could get to come out right away and he did a good job. However, it cost some money due to the urgency.
