Rob and Alex came on time, and worked hard. Working in the attic is hot, dusty work, so I am sure that it was not fun. The installation was very professional, and they cleaned up nicely. They had estimated 4 hours for the job, but they did it in 3 hours. I have used them before, and will continue to use them. I have always been happy with their work.
Description of Work: They needed to (1) remove the old whole house fan, (2) install the new whole house fan, (3) drywall and patch around the new fan.

We had an e-mail, phone call and visit to give estimate within hours of my inquiry! Rob and Alex appeared promptly at 7:30 to avoid the attic heat on our venting project and efficiently worked on though our light replacements. Everything was very professionally handled - will certainly call them again if the need arises!!
Description of Work: Replaced 6 light fixtures and 1 fan/light that needed to be vented

I called them for an estimate, and Rob came the next day. We agreed on an estimate and a date to do the service. Rob came on time last Tuesday with a helper, and they did a very neat installation and cleaned nicely. Rob was very helpful. Rob brought a 1-outlet setup but I had decided that I wanted a 2-outlet installation. He just called and got a new outlet. These are fancy outlets so I was happy to see that he could do this. This change meant that the job took more than an hour but I was only charged for an hour. I was very happy overall.
Description of Work: They installed an electrical outlet in the middle of the floor of the family room. This required running a cable on the basement, drilling through the floor, and installing the outlet.

Rob is available promptly and his work is done quickly at a great price. His hourly rate is quite fair and there isn't a job yet he hasn't been able to perform for us.
Description of Work: Rob has done electrical work at our home and business for three years now. As the owner of the company, he is involved in every project from beginning to end. His employees are excellent electricians and they are very respectful.

Rob came on time and gave me an estimate. The estimate looked reasonable to me. Rob and his crew of two were very professional and they did a very neat job. Installing the freezer, in particular, required laying out conduit in the ceiling. I was afraid that it would look messy, but was happy with the results. They did it in about 4-5 hours. One of the outlets that they installed did not work, so I called them and they fixed it with no extra charge.
Description of Work: I used them before I became an Angie's List member and was happy with their work. They (1) placed a freezer in the laundry room and added a separate circuit for the freezer, (2) replaced 2 dimmer switches with new ones that I had bought, (3) added 3 set of GFCI circuits in my workroom, (4) installed 3 fluorescent strip lights (I bought them) in the workroom, and (5) fixed a wiring problem having to do with some switch working with just some of the lights. Quite a list, I thought.
