Lindsay G. says, "Hector was great. He removed the old (ugly!) track lighting in my living space and kitchen and put in dimmable recessed lighting. He also installed a new light fixture over the peninsula. I would have had him install a new fan, I just couldn’t decide on one in time! The space feels so much lighter and brighter. It makes such a difference. Electrical is not a topic I know a lot about, so I had a lot of questions. He stopped by for an estimate and responded promptly to all my questions afterward then afterwards. The project took about a day and he cleaned up before leaving. He also did a really nice job where drywall needed to be removed for new wiring to a new switch. It was left in great condition for patching and painting. I am now getting my ceiling repainted and even the painter commented. He said that often times, those spots aren’t put back together as nicely or just left as holes in the wall. I will definitely give Hector a call when I make up my mind about the fan. I will probably add some more recessed lights in the hallway, too!"See more
