Tom was able to diagnose the problems quickly, and had the materials with him to replace all the faulty parts. He was punctual, and took extra care to do a quality repair, for example he neatly scraped the excess paint off the plates when he replaced the outlets. Also, he was neat, and did not leave a mess. I do not know if there is anyone cheaper, but the price was fair for the time and labor from an expert electrician.
Description of Work: Tom replaced two wall outlets that were not working right. He also repaired a flourescent light that was not working by replacing the starter. The final job was to repair the doorbells by locating and replacing the transformer.

Great service. Tom returned my initial call promptly and was willing to do a small job, that most places weren't interested in. He arrived exactly when he said, he would to do the work, was pleasant and completed the job quickly. Would definitely use him again. Very reasonably priced.
