Mike came the same day that I entered my job on Thumbtack to install 2 ceiling fans. He promptly finished the job at a very reasonable price. While he was here, he also replaced my broken door bell. I will definitely call Empire Home Services again.

Mike replied to the job request within seconds of me reaching out. He was at the house and completed the project in less than 24 hours!! He replaced two outdoor floodlights with camera/floodlight combo. He gave me a reasonable quote, got right to work, and made sure the cameras were in a position to be best protected from rain. The pictures are the location of the original lights, if it helps anyone visualize the scope of the project. I saved his contact information to call him when we have other electrical projects. Great work!!

I'm truly appreciative that Michael was able to assist me with my doorbell security camera and when I inquired about hiring him again to change out my recessed bulbs in my kitchen; he already had extra bulbs to complete that job as well. He is an excellent communicator, ready to help, and very informative. Look forward to working with him again.

We had a really positive experience working with Mike for our fan installation. Throughout the project, I added and removed a few different fixtures and changed plans a couple of times, and he was always very open, flexible, and easy to work with. He communicated clearly, was professional, and made the whole process stress-free. The installation turned out great, and I’d definitely recommend Mike to anyone looking for reliable service.
