About
I don't work in ceilings higher than 10 ft. When installing lighting fixtures in rooms without attic access, it will be necessary to create additional openings in the ceiling to facilitate wire routing. I will then apply the initial layer of compound to these openings; however, I will not be performing any sanding or painting. I always make sure my customers are happy with the results and everything is as clean as before the job.

Even before James signed up for the job he asked the right questions to ensure he is signing for the right one. He showed up on time with the right tools and was able to replace the ceiling fan with in 45 mins. Very professional, great demeanor. Will strongly recommend.

James responded to my initial message within minutes and was able to walk me through the entire process. During installation he explained everything to me again and also was able to save me from buying a switch i didn’t need. If you want excellent work done, James is your guy!
