Makale helped us install a fan/light into a current light fixture. He was very responsive and moved quickly. He worked around our schedule and did great work. We will use him again and highly recommend.

They were amazing. Were able to quote same day and were able to do the job with a couple days. They cleaned up our electrical lines and didn’t leave a mess setting up our fan. Definitely will keep their contact for all upcoming projects! Thank you so much!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
With your first installation, every additional device is an automatic 25$
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
10 years of electrical experience, both commercial and residential.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I wanted to become a carpenter, so I could help my brother finish his basement. I wasn't very good at cutting wood and ended up wiring up lights instead! id never touched a wire before in my life. I was 17 years old and very confused, but my brother showed me how, and I just kept going.
We turned the power on and my mind was blown away by how the lights actually came on!
I still get that same fascination every time I work in a home, but now I am not confused!
