Description of Work: Bretco installed a ceiling fan, repaired wiring in a room that had been previously incorrectly wired, installed an outside outlet. They arrived earlier than expected, completed the work in a shorter time than expected, and lowered the price we were quoted because it did not take them as long as anticipated. We were completely impressed with their service and plan to use them again!

Mike arrived on time, introduced himself, was driving company van and wore shirt with company name. He was polite,clean and professional. He went right to work and wasted no time. He had to go to shop to get parts and was gone about 40 minutes. He cleaned up what little mess he had made when finished. Start to finish took 5 hours. I did receive an Angie's list discount.

The company's owner came to our house and suggested that it was a faulty light fixture. He did not charge us. We replaced the light fixture ourselves. It did fix the problem.

Description of Work: Bretco changed out my main circuit breaker box, installed a new 50 amp GFI, and ran about 100 feet of line to a new hot tub.

Two electricians came to my house - on time! They were very professional and very polite. They got right to work on the problem. Apparently there are several reasons why my problem could have happened. They fixed the problem but looked at all other sources for potential reasons so I would not have a repeat of this problem in the near future. They cleaned up and put all of my things back where they were. I would definately recommend this company to others and will use them again myself in the future.
Description of Work: I had several outlets in my home that would work and then not work for no apparent reason.

They arrived on time, went right to work, completed the job and cleaned up in 4 hours. There was no drama, no glitches, and no excuses. I had other estimates, and got nothing but explanations about how difficult the install would be - and on and on.
