Rick was able to come out the next morning, he arrived precisely during the half hour window he promised and quickly determined and resolved the cause of my problem.
Description of Work: I needed someone to come out quick to investigate a problem that developed when I was having the siding replaced on my house. It turned out that the contractor drove a nail into my power panel knocking out my power.

I couldn't be more pleased with this company. the owner very well could have come out and charged me a fee to push a button. Instead he called me, told me what to look for, but that if I wanted him to come out and take care of it, he would. Didn't charge me anything.
Description of Work: he walked me through what to do over the phone.

They were scheduled to come during a week of heavy rain. They showed up and worked in the rain to do the outside work. They were punctual, friendly but professional, and worked with a sense of urgency. When they finished there was no mess left behind except for the trash which was neatly stacked. Eddie even offered to vacuum for me where there was a little drywall dust. I couldn't be happier with the work they did. They are good people to deal with, fair in their pricing, and do a great job. I wouldn't think of using anyone else.
Description of Work: Replaced 3 motion detector lights, removed ceiling fan & installed new light, replaced front porch light fixture, hung new chandelier with dimmer, installed 2 new plugs, replaced bathroom light with fan/light combo.

Great service again from Rick Thompson Electric. Priced well, arrived on time, finished the project quickly and when we had questions about our estimate, they quickly responded. Have had one other project done by them in our home. They work quick, and the plus is they clean up very well before they leave the job site. Will recommend to friends for sure.

Very well. They arrived at the time they said they would and completed the work within an hour. They were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. The $75 per light installed they charged was the best price I received after getting estimates from several contractors.
Description of Work: The provider removed my old light fixture and installed recessed lighting in my kitchen.

I needed a ceiling fan installed and several other companies would not give me a price over the phone but instead said they would charge a fee (anywhere from $28 to $35) to come out and see how much work was involved. If you say you need a ceiling fan installed in a bedroom and they'd have to pull it down from the attic, I think any reputable company should at least be able to quote an approximate price over the phone. When I called Rick Thompson Electric he told me exactly what it would cost ($250) and that's exactly what I paid. Everything was excellent from initial communication to end of the job. They let me know when the guys were on their way, they showed up on time, and it only took approximately one hour to complete the job. They were very thorough in their work and also cleaned up the drywall before they left. Very professional from start to finish -- I highly recommend this company and would hire them again in a heartbeat!

I Received several estimates and the estimate I received from Rich was by far the least expensive. Rich threw in a dimmer switch and set up installation for the following week. The technicians showed up promptly, completed the work, and cleaned up after themselves. I would recommend them and intend to use them again in the near future.

Rich Thompson showed up on time for the estimate, sent me a clear written itemized estimate via email, and scheduled the work shortly thereafter. The technician who came and did the work was punctual, knowledgeable, fast, and cleaned up after himself thoroughly which I appreciated.
