Phil with Black Dog Electric was prompt, friendly, and provided high quality work. He installed an extension to an outdoor outlet, changed out a chandelier, and replaced 2 outdoor light fixtures. He showed up at the scheduled time and cleaned up the work areas. Would use this company again.

Very punctual and super easy to work with. Came up with great solutions for very hard to reach fire alarms that were installed in our house. They were very high up and one was an in awkward and not needed spot. Helped us out by having an alarm with 10 year battery life and were able to access the other one to cap it off since it was not needed with other alarms placed in the home.

Phil and Ryan did an excellent job of a few minor electrical repairs plus installation of a ceiling fan. Five Stars for Black Dog, and I will definitely use them again

Good experience so far. Reached out to schedule quickly, visited site promptly and was flexible and professional. Took care of the smaller issue while giving a quote for the larger issue for reasonable price for the area. Very professional and responsive to the needs of the home in recommendations. Will hire again.
