Bernard quoted $520 for the job. He did it in about 3.5 hours total. Approximately. Unfortunately we had the wrong ceiling fan and that slowed things up a bit but wasn't his fault. Bernard is very conscientious in how he does things and I felt good about the quality and seriousness of his work. He ended up charging us $425 for the work. This is the first time I have ever had a contractor fairly charge me when the job came in early or under budget.
Description of Work: Installation of a replacement ceiling fan, new outside breaker for outlet and replacement of another outdoor outlet

Communication with Mr. Blanchard was great. When I first spoke with him about the work he told me when he was able to come out. He said he would call before he came which he did. He came at the time we set up. He gave suggestions as to how to fix the problems. He performed the work in a timely manner. He was very professional. He had all parts needed for the job on his truck. The bill was very reasonable for the work performed. Thank you very much. I will definitely call Mr. Blanchard for any future electrical needs.
Description of Work: Added circuit breaker to existing panel outside. Moved wire to an existing breaker in inside panel.

Bernard Blanchard gave me an estimate for the work to be completed. He couldn't give me an exact dollar amount for the work under the house because the wiring was laying in mud, criss-crossed from the breaker box into every direction, without junction boxes and under pipes. After several estimates of hearing the same information we went with Bernard since he understood we wanted it done correctly but wanted to keep costs down. He worked with us in every way to make sure we were satisfied. He showed up on time every day and worked by himself for 6-8 hours a day. In the end, even though Bernard couldn't tell me how much the total job would cost on the penny because of materials and labor for under our house, he was only $125 off from his estimate. THAT RARELY HAPPENS with these types of extensive problems. I would like to mention that Bernard was very determined to get our power back on the day we switched breaker boxes by 4pm. Needless to say, we were very happy with his commitment to us to restore power within 5 - 6 hours, even though it was very difficult to do. All our food in our fridge/freezer was fine and we haven't had any problems. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this man's work.
Description of Work: Replaced our breaker box with new breakers, added 2 arc-vault outlets and 4 regular outlets, changed the vent motor in the bathroom and properly secured hanging and criss-crossed wires under house.
