Description of Work: Replaced 2 fluorescent fixtures with halogen can lighting (dimmable) The initial contact for the estimate was timely and we felt it was a reasonable charge, so we had the work done. The company was very accommodating and scheduled us quickly (we had out of town company scheduled and needed lighting in the kitchen right away!) The workmen who came to do the work obviously were very good at their jobs and worked quickly and efficiently.

I am sorry you had a bad experience with us. We can't warranty light fixtures that were not provided by us. From our notes we saw that you provided us with a light fixture that we installed correctly but we were called out again when it did not work. We do provide warranty work on Labor and Material but we can't warranty material that was not provided by our company. If we had installed the item incorrectly then our follow-up call would have been No-Charge. Being that the issue was with the fixture and not due to anything we did; our policy is to charge for the service call.

I installed landscape lighting some years ago and over time, the system had completely failed to work. I knew that the problem was electrical, but didn't know what specifically would solve the problem. The electrician first checked the circuit box and electrical lines for the outdoor lighting and determined that everything was properly installed and should be working. Upon further inspection, the electrician discovered that the bulbs installed for each lighting unit exceeded the recommended wattage for the system. He suggested the type of bulbs and proper wattages that should be installed. I bought the bulbs and the landscape lighting is now working properly. The electrician was very professional and recommended steps to me that could save me money. I would definitely call Trim Electric again for electrical work.
Description of Work: Trim Electric inspected my outdoor lighting system in order to determine why a number of the units were not lighting properly. The electricain inspected the appropriate circuitry and wiring, discovering no electrical issues. Upon further inspection, the electrician discovered that the lighting unit bulbs that were originally installed exceeded the recommended wattage suggested by the manufacturer. After installing the correct bulbs, the system works correctly now.

I called the company around 10am. Someone called me back around 3pm and said they'd be over at 4pm. They came on time with two electricians. Both where very easy to talk to and professional. They diagnosed the problem and fixed it in about 15 minutes. They stayed to be sure everything worked properly, and if I had any other concerns. I would definitely use them again.

Came to our house once to survey/analyze our request for a standby generator. Verbally proposed a solution for a 16KW generator that turned out to be a good solution. E-mailed a contract proposal. Good detail on what would be provided and done, but with a single bottom line price. Price was double that of another contractor (who we later used). I emailed back, expressed some surprise at the bid and asked for a breakdown of materials and labor. I have never received any reply of any kind to my email.
Description of Work: Bid on job to install a standby generator at our residence.

Great guys (Carlos and coworker), explained everything in layman's terms as well as quickly finished the work at a reasonable price. No surprises at all. I have found my new electrician.
Description of Work: I called them to come take a look at a circuit I could not fix myself. They came the same afternoon in the time slot arranged, and quickly found the problem, as well as a certain future problem in the breaker box that the previous homeowner had poorly fixed (potential firehazard!). They quickly fixed the issues and answered my questions, as well as gave me tips on how to handle the original problem I had, in the future, on my own.

I have pretty high ceilings that are hard to get to, but Trim did a great job. Nothing was too much for them. Everything was fine, and I have yet to have any problems. The people were great, and the work was great. I am very satisfied with everything. The pricing was quite fair. I think it was well worth the price.
Description of Work: Trim ran new electric throughout my bedroom, and installed a fan.

REALLY DID A NICE JOB OF INSTALLING THE FLOOR PLUG. WORKED AROUND THE SCHEDULE OF THE HARDWOOD FLOOR INSTALLER. FOR THE VERY MESSY JOB THAT THEY HAD TO DO IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE JOB THEY WERE VERY NEAT AND CLEANED UP AFTER THEY WERE FINISHED. DID A NICE JOB OF REPAIRING THE WALL WHERE THEY HAD TO PULL THE ELECTRICITY FROM.
Description of Work: INSTALLED AN ELECTRICAL FLOOR PLUG ON LOWER LEVEL, IN CONCRETE, BEFORE HARDWOOD FLOORING WAS INSTALLED. ALSO FIXED A LIGHT FIXTURE AND INSTALLED AN ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL WALL OUTLET.
