About

I began my electrical career in 2009 by attending YTI and completing the Electrical Technology program and related courses at the top of my class. From start to finish I approach every job with one collective goal; attention to details , customer loyalty and a clean professional installation. Everything from troubleshooting to complete renovation, all work I provide will receive my full commitment to customer satisfaction. I prioritize punctuality and strive to deliver an efficient, as well as, a fair price service to all customers for any size job.

Hired on Thumbtack

We attempted to fix a light fixture that initially worked, but noticed one of the white wires was unexpectedly hot. Later, the power in one of the rooms stopped working entirely. Despite troubleshooting (checking breakers, connections, etc.), we couldn’t resolve the issue. So I look on Thumbtack and found Rick who had great reviews. I messaged him and he responded right away. He came out, found the issue, and resolved it. He even installed the light fixture for me and gave me some educational information. I have a five start experience and I will call him when I have issues from now on!

Details: Fixture or outlet not working • Outlets • Wiring • Circuit breaker panel or fuse box • Switches • 8 - 10 feet (standard ceiling) • House

Let there be light! He did a fantastic job today. We were without power in three rooms for nearly 2 days. He was quick, efficient, courteous, and explained everything that he was doing. Would hire again!
