Lucy S. says, "Artur is the absolute best electrician I have ever had in my home, I lived here for 23 years. I had several problems due a “handy man” who did several repairs in my house. Artur found that the “handyman” who did several projects in my home created a fire hazard. In response to a flickering light that Jooan (handyman) had installed, I hired a licensed electrician on Tuesday April 1, 2025 to investigate the problem and fix it. The licensed electrician revealed that Jooan's (handyman) installation of the ceiling light was flawed; however, the degree of danger posed by Jooan's improper installation cannot be overstated. The licensed electrician showed me that the incorrect wiring caused overheating to occur leading to melting wires and the potential for fires to start. Needless to say, this wiring was also not up code and created a significant fire risk for my family. I am extremely disappointed in Jooan's (handyman) improper wiring throughout several places in my house. A picture of the burning wire that the licensed electrician discovered is provided."See more
