Description of Work: Bill Root came out and did an estimate on fixing some electrical issues in the basement, and a couple of bedrooms. |He also told me that the panel that we had was already top of the line, and that he wouldn't suggest replacing it, just making a couple of modifications to it for our needs. |He was very understanding that I couldn't have it done right away, but that when I was able to get back in touch with him, it would need to be done pretty quickly. |When I contacted him again, it was scheduled quickly, and the work was flawless. The gentlemen who came were very professional, worked quickly, got it done, and then cleaned up after themselves. |I absolutely have to give them the highest marks possible - they are great!

Description of Work: I hired Root Electric to install 9 new outlets in my home, including two new circuits. A site visit and estimate was provided prior to scheduling of the work. The installation team arrived on time, was courteous, did excellent work, and left the premises in a clean condition. I will invite Root Electric back to do additional work in the future. I highly recommend them.

Thank you very much for taking a few moments to post a review of Root Electric's service! We are happy to hear that you are pleased with your attic fan repairs. The hottest part of the summer tends to be when we repair the most attic fans. The best time to complete this repair tends to be in the morning hours before the attic heats up. Again, thank you for posting a review. Feel free to contact us in the future if you have any questions.
