Gary was a consummate professional and he returned callls immediately. His bids are most sane and reasonable and the finished product far exceeds expectations.
Description of Work: I have used this company several times for several different jobs. I have had them replace or install new outlets and fixtures or to deal with changing knob and tube to Romex. My cousin employed this company for adjustments to his electical box and to replace fixtures and fans on my advice and he was most impressed.

Gary was very professional from start to finish. He worked thoroughly and quickly and explained everything without using too much technical jargon. I plan to use his company for other electrical projects.
Description of Work: Examined three plugs for grounding problems, fixed the plugs, reinstalled the metal box at the grounded plug, examined whole house wiring for safety issues.

I found Mr. Toombs through Angie's List and after reading the reports on him, I decided to call to get estimates. He arrived on time as he said and we spent a couple hours going over the work I needed done. He made a list and told me he would get back with a quote and I asked that he mail it. A unforeseen project came up where I needed him to come over and wire an outlet. We spoke on the phone and he promised to be over. He never came, nor have I heard anything from him. Guess he isn't interested.
Description of Work: No work performed.

I was not happy that he didn't call before showing up, and that was the biggest problem, but he charged me, and I still had more or less the same problem.
Description of Work: He told me he would "get back with me," and the job would probably be done on Friday night or Saturday morning. That lead me to believe I would get a phone call. The next thing I know, he's at the door, interrupting our supper. He went to do the repair and told me I needed a new double-plug outlet box, which he didn't have, even though it's a standard electrical item. After he came back from the store, he unwired the old receptacle, rewired the new one, and separated the 110v from the low voltage, which was the problem (old garage wired for low voltage). I found out when the garage door folks came that the bottom sensors were wired not to work. Luckily, the garage door repairman does electrical work on the side and was able to fix it.

HE HAS NOT RESPONDED TO ME AND IF HE CANNOT RETURN CALLS HOW WILL HE DO THE JOB.
Description of Work: HE CAME OUT AND LOOKED AT MY JOB AND HE WAS SUPPOSED TO GET BACK WITH ME ABOUT AN ESTIMATE AND NEVER GOT BACK WITH ME. HE TRIED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND LEFT A VOICE MAIL, AND I SPOKE WITH A WOMAN THAT ANSWERED AT HIS PHONE NUMBER AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HIM IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS.

MR. TOOMBS WAS PUNCTUAL AND PROFESSION THROUGHOUT THE BIDDING PROCESS AND THE ACTUAL WORK PERFORMANCE. THE VALUE OF THOSE ASPECTS IS PRICELESS AND THE ACTUAL BID PRICE FOR THE WORK WAS FAIR AND REASONABLE. MR. TOOMBS WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING TO MY FAMILY'S WORK AND ACTIVITIES SCHEDULE. WE FELT COMFORTABLE LEAVING MR. TOOMBS ALONE TO FINISH THE JOB AND SECURE OUR HOME WHEN HE LEFT. MR. TOOMBS CAME BACK LATER THAT EVENING (WHICH WAS A WEEKEND EVENING), AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING HE HAD DONE, HOW AND WHY. IT MET OR EXCEEDED ALL OF OUR REQUESTS FOR THE WORK HE BID ON, AND HE ALSO ACCOMMODATED A MINOR ADDITION/CHANGE TO THE BID WORK FOR A VERY NOMINAL INCREASE IN OVERALL PRICE.
