Marybeth T. says, "From the moment I found John’s site on Thumbtack I was very impressed. His years of expertise, 5 Star reviews and his trust inspiring photo made me feel comfortable contacting him for an estimate. This feeling was reinforced on our phone call by his calm jovial voice. He expressed immediate confidence when I describe the need to replace our 50 year old 220 voltage base board heaters. He was able to quickly asses the electrical quirks of our old building. As well as made excellent recommendations on installing new smart efficient 110 voltage wall heaters. Highly recommend him for any of your electrical needs."See more

Gray K. says, "Outstanding experience from start to finish! I honestly couldn’t be happier with the work this company did for me. From the very first message to the final result, everything was professional, organized, and done with incredible attention to detail. They installed my Christmas lights beautifully — perfectly aligned, clean, and exactly how I envisioned them. The lights completely transformed the exterior and made my home look festive, elegant, and professionally done. No mess, no loose wiring, everything was secure and done with care. In addition to that, they fully painted one of my rooms, including repairing and finishing the drywall. The walls came out smooth, clean, and flawless. You can really see the difference when professionals do the job — the paint lines are perfect, the room looks brand new, and the quality of the drywall work exceeded my expectations. What I appreciated the most:     •    Excellent communication     •    Showed up on time and worked efficiently     •    Very clean and organized throughout the project     •    High-quality workmanship     •    Honest, fair pricing     •    Truly cared about the final result It’s rare to find a company that can handle both detailed interior work and exterior installations at such a high level, but they absolutely delivered. I felt comfortable trusting them in my home, and the results speak for themselves. I would 100% recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, skilled, and professional work — whether it’s holiday light installation, painting, drywall, or general home improvements. I will definitely be using them again for future projects. Thank you for an amazing job!"See more

Natalia B. says, "Julian was absolutely delightful to work with. I had a fairly difficult request where I wanted about half of my cabinets resurfaced and the rest spot fixed in my kitchen and 2 bathrooms and my front door. There were various levels of damage and Julian carefully went through each cabinet and door to sand and restain them. He also stripped and re-stained the front door which had 2 different colors on the outside and inside and 2 large holes that needed to be patched from a new doorknob. Julian consulted me with a plan daily and showed up ready to work. He was tidy and peaceful to be around. He was also easy to text about the project and what we should do next. He is a highly skilled craftsman and I will continue to hire him for projects. I can't recommend him enough!"See more
