Excellent. Rich Apolito showed up on time and solved my basic problem in less than 15 minutes. A previous contractor was unable to fix the problem in three hours. He was courteous, friendly, professional and competent. He was also able to fix problems left by the previous contractor within 1 hour. I will certainly call him for future electrical problems.
Description of Work: The electrical service to some of my kitchen outlets was interrupted. I needed trouble shooting and repair.
