Kenny really helped us out! We’d been ghosted by another contractor who was installing some recessed lighting in kitchen and living room, as well as troubleshooting some nonfunctional outlets.
Kenny showed up, gave an estimate, then finished the job in 2 days, including re-wiring in the attic. Clean and professional, our first call for any future electrical projects. Thank you Kenny!

Kenny did a great job installing my ceiling fan. He and his guys were punctual, professional, friendly, and reliable. Kenny responded to my messages quickly and found a time that worked for me within the week. When they realized they needed additional tools, they went out and quickly returned with what they needed. They even took their shoes off when they came in, without me asking! My ceiling fan works perfectly! Will definitely reach out to Kenny again in the future.

Kenny is a great guy, prompt in responding to all my questions, providing estimations etc, prompt to the work and finished on time perfectly. He knows his work, came to fix (retrofit) chandelier brace to hold the heavier chandelier, which another pro did not do a good job, and left hanging heavier chandelier (60 lb) on an existing brace that can only support 10 lb. I wish I hired him to do the installation in the first place. I would recommend him to all electrical needs

Kenny is so amazing! Installed my vent and also fixed the problem with my air duct, he under charged me and I didn't think it was fair so I paid him more. Extreme friendly and professional, you have earned a repeating customer Kenny!

Kevin showed up promptly on time and even gave me a heads up prior to heading out.
It was a bit difficult job installing a large glass chandelier in a tall ceiling. Even more complicated was the fact that there was no existing switch. Kevin very resourcefully located a wire that ran to another outlet and used it to control the chandelier!
Job was well done and I will use Kevin for my future jobs since he prices very competitive too. Would definitely recommend.
