My name is Beth Finlayson and I am the owner of this electrical business. I run a small business out of Woburn MA and have been in the trade for over a decade now. My company always strives to be prompt, professional, and yet still maintain reasonable rates.
A very pleasant surprise to have someone so helpful and knowledgeable. Will have her back in a second if she is available to help us out in the future. Have told our family about her with great recommendations. Very pleasant and so easy to have around. Thank you Beth...

I called Beth and left a message. She called me back quickly, and arrived less than an hour later. She only charged me the trip charge because it was a small job, but she got the repair done quickly.
Description of Work: I had a light switch that was acting up in my kitchen--flickering when we turned the lights on.

Beth and her crew were prompt and did a very good job. I have no complaints. They finished sooner than expected and were quite open to any changes or concerns I had along the way. Beth communicates without a lag, and clearly. I believe her price was more than fair. She did some small things and did not charge extra. Highly recommend her!

I initially purchased a deal on Angie's list which basically covered the troubleshooting. She then gave me a quote for the additional work that I requested. The work was done quickly and I thought the pricing was fair. Beth was also really nice, on time, and courteous. I'll definitely use her again.

All work was explained clearly to me so that I understood what needed to be done. (For example, that ceiling fans needed to be supported much more than ceiling lights did, so supports needed to be added.) It was done neatly and with consideration for the fact that I was working from home that day. I was completely satisfied with how the job was done.
Description of Work: 3 Ceiling Fans installed. 4 Smoke and CO2 detectors installed.

Wonderfully. Beth was competent, careful, and finished the tasks quickly. This particular job was an Angie's list special. I am going to ask her do a large project at my home.
Description of Work: There were several light fixtures that needed to be replaced my daughter's old 1890's house. Some of the lights were corroded. Beth accommodated my schedule because I am babysitting my grandson at this house one day a week.

Beth was extremely nice and professional. Despite the terrible heat and the large amount of work that had to be done outside, Beth and Sam remained cheery and calm. They did the work according to the priorities I specified, explained everything clearly, and got almost everything off my list accomplished, extending a visit to get it all done. Beth was super-fast and detailed when communicating by email, and this was a method of communication that was really helpful to me. Non-responsive vendors are a huge pet peeve of mine, and here was done that was the direct opposite! I had some questions afterward and Beth clarified everything. For example, I was wondering why the invoice did not include a labor per hour charge, but Beth quotes and bills per job, not by hour. I am very happy with all the work performed, and it feels so good to have so many of my electrical annoyances finally fixed 2 years after I moved into the house, all within the span of a few hours. I have a good understanding of the rough prices it would take to fix the rest of my list, and will definitely call on Beth in the future to get these taken care of also.
Description of Work: Beth and her assistant Sam fixed a great deal of electrical issues around our house: - Fixed a sometimes not working bedroom electrical switch - Investigated non-working dining area switch - Replaced 2 non-working outdoor electrical outlets with brand new ones, with a new breaker for them - Replaced 3 outdoor sconces with brand new ones set to turn on dusk to dawn - Got non-working end of driveway light working again (turns out it had cut wiring) - Installed a new attic light to illuminate a dark area - Provided quotes for some future wishlist work Now that I listed everything out, that's a lot of stuff!

They fitted us into their schedule on short notice. They purchased and installed new smoke detectors in our house. They repaired the older wiring that had become inoperative. There were a number of circuits that had become inoperative for some reason and they reactivated them. I have an advanced degree in EE and I was curious about what had gone wrong. I had hoped to find out what had caused the outages, but I still don't have a clear picture of what had caused the problems. A few weeks after the installation, we had several false alarms in which the smoke detectors went off for reasons unexplained. Her company came in on a Sunday afternoon and cleaned the alarms. As a test they deactivated the sensors in one part of the house. We have not had any false alarms since then. Beth contacted us today to inquire about whether we have experienced any more false alarms. I have been delighted with the diligence and responsiveness of Beth and her employees. She has been excellent at maintaining contact and has been very quick to respond when an issue did arise.
Description of Work: 1. Installed new smoke and CO detectors in house and reactivated existing electrical wiring that had become inoperative. 2. Came on a Sunday to investigate and rectify some false alarms produced by the smoke detectors.
