Description of Work: Mr Drakes arrived promptly. Was very professional and gave me an estimate for several items that had to be fixed. I thought his estimate was too high and had the job done by someone else.

Richard was going to do 2 jobs for me but it turned out my plumber's electrician needed to do one of the jobs. Richard was very gracious abut the last minute change of plans and the fact that he needed to return parts to the store. It was a pleasure to have him do this work. He arrived right on time with the thermostat which he had purchased for me and immediately set to work. When he finished installing the thermostat, he even programmed for me. The area was So clean when he left, it looked like the thermostat had been on the wall forever.
Description of Work: Programmable thermostat installed.

It went very well. We had a lot of small things for him to complete. He brought a helper was was also efficient. He was very nice, responsive, friendly, and helpful in offering guidance in our work to be done. I work in real estate and will certainly refer him to our customers and clients in the future.
Description of Work: He installed several ceiling fans, fixed some improper wiring, installed new lighting outside to our back porches, and installed new lighting in our back hallway (with motion sensors).

Richard was easy to deal with and available to do the job. He came to my place right away to give me an estimate of the work and fit me into his schedule on the same week as he did the estimate. He worked with my contractor to get the work done in the most efficient way, which made things easier. He showed up on time and finished the work as expected. And to make things better he has a great sense of humor!
Description of Work: Richard installed a ceiling fan, a bathroom fan and two hallway lights.

Description of Work: Richard installed a new bath fan in the upstairs bathroom and installed a new breaker box in the garage. He also ran a new cable from the basement to the garage to give more power to the garage outlets.
