They were very responsive and helpful. It was an easy process and the job was done very quickly. I will be using Coastal Currents for all my electrical needs!

Being new to the area, it is a relief to find an electrician that we feel we can count on. Communication with Ray Votke was easily established, he arrived as scheduled, assessed the situation and told us how he would remedy the problem. He then corrected the issue, and we felt very comfortable that we were being treated fairly. We have no reservations in recommending this company for your electrical needs.

Needed an overhead light installed and wired to switch in home office. Not only did he do the work timely, professionally and neatly, he found the original builders did not have one side of room outlets wired correctly. He offered to go ahead and fix and charged minimal to include in job. Highly Recommend

I did not know what to expect on a Saturday turn around request to hang two fans. About 10 mins after submitting my request Ray reached out with a quote and a 1 hour arrival. During his install time we had communicated with other items regarding the materials etc. He was always available to converse and his professionalism is above and beyond his competitors. If anyone needs someone with all the attributes of professional, reliable, honest and trustworthy hit up my guy Ray!
