Louis was very informed and had suggestions for me. He found the electrical problem immediately and it was repaired.
I was very pleased.

He promised to come at a certain time and he did, the same day. He helped diagnose our electrical problem. Very personable.

Louis was absolutely fantastic. He showed up on time and spent 8+ hours getting everything done; he made sure everything was clean and "buttoned up" before he left.
Unfortunately, later that evening we discovered one of the newly installed fans had stopped working, so I texted Louis the next morning to let him know. He stopped by that afternoon to troubleshoot the issue (though it turned out the malfunction was with the fan itself and not anything he did), and did not charge us extra.
I would highly recommend hiring him, as his prices are fair and he does quality work. He will definitely be the first person I call if I need more electrical work done, and I have been recommending him to my family and friends.

I started with some electric power issues, and by the time he fixed them, I had several other projects for Louis to come back and start. I have several rental properties that I will give Louis first opportunity to do the work.

James was very professional. He is quick to respond to messages and answered all my questions. Showed up earlier than scheduled after giving me a heads up. My ceiling fans were installed fast and he even set up my remotes which the others were charging extra for. He is skilled and knows his craft. He also gave me a very reasonable price and I am really happy with my decision to hire him. We are currently setting up schedule to install my chandelier and replace my kitchen lights. I will definitely hire him again for all my electrical needs.
