Can’t say enough about their great service. We were in a panic needing an outlet moved before kitchen cabinets could go in. They got us in quickly and completed the job in no time. Mark assessed the problem and had a great solution. Timely and polite service goes a long ways and we appreciated it. Highly recommend!

Everything about Coffin Electric was great. They responded immediately to us and scheduled a technician to arrive when it was convenient for us, which was right away. The technician was able to fix a switch that two other electricians could not fix, and install new lights in our laundry area. We also had Coffin Electric install a new electrical panel as ours was very old and the technician installed several surge protectors, too. Each job was done very quickly without any mess or delays. We felt the price for the work was extremely reasonable, less than we had expected. We will definitely use them again if we have electrical needs.

The response was timely, the professionalism and skill was assuring and Justus and Taylor were congenial and polite. Their attention to detail(ex: finding the fixture cover for a ridgeline of 17 foot ceiling) indicated they wanted the best outcome for our project. Nice guys to have in our home!

Had a fantastic experience getting a new ceiling fan installed! The scheduling was incredibly responsive, and they had a technician out within 2 days. He arrived right on time, wore boot covers to protect our floors, and was so informative, kind, and respectful. The work was both fast and highly efficient. I couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend them!
