10/10 - Highly Recommend for any Electrical needs. We needed to run a new 240v line into our basement for a new appliance. We had never had an electrician come out before, but I am glad we called them. A small family-owned company that provided excellent service at a reasonable price. Tim answered the phone right away and had us scheduled for an estimate within the next few days. The morning of the estimate, they came buy to look at the project at hand, (and a few extra lighting issues that we’ve been putting off fixing.) They quoted us an extremely reasonable price, and let us know that they had last minute availability open up that same afternoon. Tim and Forrest (Father/Son Team!) came in and finished the project way faster than anticipated, and ended up charging us less than estimated. It’s so refreshing having friendly, honest people come in and do work on our home. We will definitely be having them back out again for any future electrical needs!

It was fine. At a minimum of $125 an hour I wish I'd had more light fixture to install to make it worthwhile.

I gave them a "C" rating because "N/A" was not an option. They never got back to me to discuss my project, so I really have no idea how to rate them. I wanted to see if what I wanted to do was feasible and get an idea of what kind of cost would be involved. I guess they weren't interested in pursuing this, which is OK. Probably saved us both an unnecessary phone call.

Excellent. This is the second time we used them. Master electrician Tim and his son Forrest are great folks who do a quality job. They performed the jobs exactly to our specifications, always responsive, always punctual, did what they said they would do for the quoted price. Was particularly pleased with the job Tim did wiring an outlet against the side of the house near the top of our pergola, so we can hang Edison lights. Only advice I might have for Tim and Forrest is to do a little better job on cleaning up after completing the work. Price was fair, considering you are getting two electricians, one a Master. Highly, highly recommend!

Tim and Forrest isolated the problem in less than an hour, which turned out to be worn out circuit breakers not passing 120 volts through to ceiling lights and outlets. They obtained parts for the basement electrical panel and replaced the defective breakers in less than a second hour. Tim is very knowledgeable, professional and explained things as he worked and I would not hesitate to employ him again or recommend his services.
Description of Work: Lights in our basement mysteriously stopped working with no circuit breakers or GFI's thrown, so we needed someone to troubleshoot the problem and advise what needed to done to repair it.

He was kind, displayed wonderful patience, and was very honest. He was on time, assessed the situation efficiently, and fixed the problems quickly. I will call him back again if I ever have an electrical issues in my house.
Description of Work: The electrician fixed several wires in a master bedroom outlet that was causing the circuit breaker to trip and thus a series of lights and fans to not work. In addition, he fixed a similar issues in a dining room switch that was preventing the second light switch and the dimmer from working properly.

The company was professional and knowledgeable and very personable. When he was going to be late for our appointment, he called to let me know, which was very appreciated. When they got here they performed the 5 projects I had for them with professionalism and efficiency. I rehired them for another project because I was so pleased with their fine service and competitive prices! The project was to Install a ceiling fan, but I broke my foot before I was able to go buy the fan, so I asked Tim if he would mind picking up a fan for me, and he was happy to - that is service above and beyond! :-) I highly recommend this company in every regard.

Both times, he was punctual, honest, and very friendly. The second job he did for me was much smaller than the first, and he let me know that I'd paid for half an hour. The job I'd asked him to do only took about half that time, so he asked if there was anything else I wanted him to look at while he was here. I thought of all those loose outlets my husband says he's going to fix "eventually." A Better Electrician spent the rest of the time I'd paid for fixing those. Everything works great!
Description of Work: I've used this electrician twice -- once to rewire my entire kitchen (which had been done poorly by another electrician, before we bought our house, and was not up to code), and a second time to fix a light in our basement.
