I'm sorry to have inconvenienced you in any way. I lost my firstborn son Matthew, 2 days after looking at your job. Perhaps you will allow me to grieve his passing in peace.

Harold did a fantastic job of re-installing my circuit breaker panel and trouble shooting issues afterwards from poor installation from the original construction of the house. He was very professional and the job was completed to a better condition than when he started. I would not hesitate to call him again for all my electrical issues and highly recommend to anyone looking for professional and honest electrical work.

Mr Smith and his sons showed up on time. Since the power was going to be shutoff I had our Generator ready to go. I had showed my wife how to start it since I was at work. She had trouble pull the starter cord, so one of Mr Smith's sons stop long enough to start the generator for my wife. I thought that as so nice of him. They worked efficiently and finished the job on time. Mr Smith also installed a ceiling fan for me, which i offered to pay extra for since it was not in the quote. He did not charge me extra nor did he charge me extra to install a outdoor outlet which i did not even ask for. He thought I could probably use one he told me, he also tighten up various outlets in the house, and the cable box outside. He said he likes to do a little extra for veterans. Overall Mr Smith and his sons, were respectfully, courteous, and well versed in their craft. They presented the old school service that is too often not found anymore. I will not hesitate to have them work on any electrical project at my house. They are now my go to guys for electrical work
Description of Work: Install a new Circuit Breaker Panel and 3 ground fault outlets.

I have confidence he knows what he's doing, cordial, friendly, a good Christian brother. I would highly recommend for for any electrical work that someone would have. His prices are extremely rare and reasonable.
Description of Work: He's done a number of projects when I first moved in tho the house. The upstairs had no lights in the ceilings fo he did all of the wiring. He did a couple electrical repairs for me. I also had an issue where there was an odor in the house in which he found that there was an electrical outlet that almost flamed up due to deterioration. He came and replaced all of the electrical outlets in the house as well as a dining room chandelier.

Mr. Harold is a professional he was on time and arrived ready to work. My home was built Aug 1998 (20 years this month) and it was time to change out light switches and these RFI receptacles, 20 is more than I wanted to do myself. He completed the job in about 3 hours and cleaned up after himself. I will have him to come back in about two months and replace about 40 receptacles. His pricing is very fair, my cost was for part and labor. I have had other electrician larger company do work so I know cost. The only thing he don't take credit cards, I informed him his profile say he does.
Description of Work: Replaced 20 light switches and 3 RFI receptacles.

Harold and his son, Christopher, spent an hour here replacing the light switch and some wiring. The original builder contractor work was not done as well as it should have been and after many years, the connection had eroded to the point that some of the wire and the switch had been damaged (there was some ash inside the box). No matter, they went about their work calmly as we exchanged some stories of the past. We are both the same age, so we had some very good conversation. The deck light situation was a secondary concern, so I told him if he wanted to re-schedule for that, I would be fine with it. He took an initial look at it and fixed it on the spot! Very impressed and thankful that Harold was able to come out on such short notice. Would recommend him for any electrical job requiring his expert skill level, any time - his background speaks for itself. Will also actively recommend him to my friends and neighbors. Thank you!
Description of Work: Had a faulty light switch - the plate was hot, so hot you could not touch it with your bare hands. As a side note, also needed a look at the electrical connections that dictate the deck lights.

Harold was referred to me by his brother Steve Smith from Smith and Carter AC (they put in my new AC unit). Harold and his son showed up promptly and went right to work. They were done several hours later, they were clean and cared how the work was done. I will be using Harold for all of my electrical work from now on. I can not recommend Harold's Electic enough, you can tell he cares about the workmanship and his customers. He is also a Master Electrician, so he is qualified to do it all. All work he gets is from word of mouth, he does not spend money to advertise which keeps his prices reasonable. In this day in age where there are so many contractors lack morals and will take advanatage of someone in a heartbeat it is refreshing to someone who has morals, ethics and truly cares about the work and client.
Description of Work: I need attic fans hooked up and an outlet put in which was GFI so it would be up to code.
