Description of Work: Changed 4 light fixtures, 8 gfci outlets, 4 light switches. | |David was very nice, did a good job. | |They honored the angies list discount for my job, but raised their prices recently. That would be the only thing that prevents me from using them again. Also, they charge by the half hour. I haven't yet figured out if that is cheaper than charging by the quarter hour at a rate that is s little higher. | |I'd use them again, but will wait until they have a deal.

Thanks for the great review. We look forward to your next project ! As mentioned, we bill in 1/2 increments so customers pay for only the time that we use on their project. Our rate is consistently lower than average for our service area.

Thanks for the great review. No home should be without a Whole-House Surge Arrestor. They protected EVERYTHING electrical in the home from lightning and surges that occur everyday. They come backed with a $25,000 protected equipment warranty and a Lifetime replacement warranty. Only $199 for AL subscribers !

Description of Work: Fixed my constantly-running toilet (replaced defective parts with new ones--Kohler, as I requested). Repairman was quite competent; did the job. His personal cleanliness was not as great as I would prefer. But plumbing isn't a clean undertaking.
