We had Marc and Lee upgrade our home's electrical system, and they did an outstanding job. They replaced our original 1955 breaker panel and overheating sub-panels with a new 200-amp service, demonstrating exceptional skill and professionalism. Their communication was excellent, and they were always punctual. We were so impressed that we also hired them to install electrical wiring in our garage, which previously had no power. For this project, they offered a fair price and even adapted their approach to better suit our needs. Throughout both jobs, Marc and Lee's expertise, flexibility, and customer-focused attitude shone through. We're extremely satisfied with their work, which has significantly improved our home's electrical safety and functionality. We wouldn't hesitate to use their services again and highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable and skilled electricians.
Description of Work: 200 amp upgrade garage new installation

I called to request an appointment and had a call back right away. They were able to come when I requested, and arrived within minutes of the appointment time. The work was done thoroughly, safely, and quickly. I had been quoted the one-hour base price of $115, but as the work was done in less time, the charge was $85.00. Quite a bargain given that I had safety concerns about both areas that were rectified. I also discussed additional work I would like to have done in the future. The work was done on a house from the 1930s, so I have a couple of rooms that only have a single outlet in each that I would like upgraded and added to in the future. Will also have them redo some basement ceiling light fixtures. Lee was very good about giving his recommendations for replacements.
Description of Work: Checked an outlet for safety and updated it from a two-prong, to a three-prong grounded outlet. Also checked a light switch for safety and replaced it (it was ceramic and from the 1930s!).

Steve worked to fit us into his work schedule within two days of the call to meet our personal deadline. He came in the evening to do the work. The work was completed quickly and correctly. His rate was reasonable compared to previous electrical work I have had done.
Description of Work: Installed an overhead lighting fixture and replaced a junction box

Lee was on time, polite and efficient.
Description of Work: Lee went above and beyond trying to help me with my phone wiring problems, even speaking to AT& T for me. He also did a fine job disconnecting a phone line for me and covering up the hole in the wall.

Lee came out the day before and gave me an estimate to have all the work completed. The original quote was $300. We paid $385.00 as a result of the phonejack installation in the kitchen which was not orginally discussed. But Lee and Steve (his son) were very prompt and courteous. They were very friendly, and professional. They do fantastic work, very satisfied and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. And will definitely have them back to do additional work.
Description of Work: Replaced three ceiling fans, re-wired the kitchen fan to switch the light on separately. Replaced fluorescent fixture in kitchen, replaced a receptacle in one bedroom. Replaced patio receptacle with GFI and new weatherproof-in-use cover. And replaced the light fixture in a bedroom closet. And replaced a telephone wall jack/plate in the kitchen.
