Description of Work: Installed outside spotlights all around the house, wired the basement for 220 outlets in 2 rooms, and changed out the recessed lighting fixtures in the kitchen. He came out promptly and did exactly what I wanted efficiently and neatly, and came in under his estimate. I can't recommend him highly enough! | |

Excellent experience.
Description of Work: We are very pleased with john's work. He installed a motion light above our garage, installed a new dusk to dawn fixture on the back of the house and removed and installed a new bath light/fan combo in our bath. John came first to give us an estimate and we talked about a timeline. We hired him and his estimated price was exactly what the ending bill was. The bathroom job was a bit more involved than he originally planned for but he stuck to his bid. We definately recommend his services and will not hesitate to work with him again. He was a breath of fresh air in the sometimes negative business. Thanks John.

See above.
Description of Work: John installed 4 recessed can lights, 2 ceiling fans with lights, (there was no previous wiring for either of these projects), fixed a buzzing light fixture, relocated a light switch, moved garage door opener buttons, installed new outdoor lights on exterior of front and back of house (where there was no previous wiring) and did a fast, awesome job. He returned my initial phone call within 1/2 hr and was able to start the job the same week. The work was completed earlier than we planned and the price was exactly what he quoted. No surprises and John did a great job of keeping me informed of what he was doing. He also worked very well around my grandsons and old lady golden retriever. He is a very kind and respectful gentleman and cleaned up all of his work areas nicely. He is prompt, professional and very easy to work with. He really did a spectacular job and gave me options that I had not thought of. I would hire John again without hesitation. I was amazed at how much labor I received for the cost .... extremely reasonable!! This electrician did an A+ job!

Potter was excellent with what he did. He was very punctual. We called him on a Friday, and he was able to come over by Sunday.
Description of Work: John Potter did some rewiring for us in the kitchen. He ran a wire for the microwave 3 months ago. He did a very good job on that, so we had him come back and put some new lighting in the kitchen 1 month ago.

John installed conduit through the back of two closets to get it the washer/dryer space. He did an excellent job, and left no mess. When the dryer arrived, we found that the outlet location would not work in the tight space we had. John came back and relocated the outlet for us, and helped us install the dryer for no additional charge.
Description of Work: John installed a 220v outlet for a new electric dryer in our condominium, as well as new lighting fixtures in our kitchen, halls and dining room.

John did an excellent job. He gave me an estimate over the phone the next day. His estimate was 1/3 of the cost from another company. We scheduled the work a few days later. He was prompt, stuck to his estimate, and completed the work very professionally. Offered to vacuum the rooms where the work was done. Completed the work in the time frame he said it would take. Overall, very satisfied. I will definitely recommend him and plan to use his services again in the future.
Description of Work: We had 3 ceiling fan/lights installed, 2 can lights, and put a exhaust fan/heater on its own circuit.

John was extremely responsive, professional and friendly from the initial scheduling phone call through the services he provided. I had a small job but he did not ask for a trip charge or charge for his time when he went for supplies. Extraordinary customer service, extremely trustworthy.

We left a message on a Friday afternoon and John returned our call the next day, saying he could come that morning. He was punctual, and even called right before he arrived to let us know he was on the way. The repair went well, and as he left we asked if he'd send us the bill. He said there was no charge; he wouldn't feel right charging us for something so minor. We were impressed throughout the whole interchange, from how promptly he returned our call to his friendly interaction style.
Description of Work: Replaced a faulty pull cord for a ceiling light in the basement.

John was punctual, courteous, and efficient, and he offered us a simpler, more economical solution to a lighting challenge (oddly placed transformer) than another electrician had. His labor costs are very reasonable, and he honored the estimate he had given us. We will absolutely call John again for future projects, and our 3-year old son was sad to see him leave when he finished at our house!
Description of Work: Installed ceiling fan, directional lights, kitchen island, chandelier, additional electrical outlets in basement and garage.

He was very friendly and personable. He cleaned up after himself and didn't mind my dog jumping all over him. I will be having him come back to install a couple of light fixtures and to take down a chandelier and to put up a new one.
Description of Work: He installed a range hood for my gas stove and since there had never been one there before, he had to install an outlet.

Very well. See above.
Description of Work: John diagnosed an electrical problem I was having with a residential intercom system. Through trial and error, he was able to identify the problem and restore the doorbell and intercom/speaker system installed.
