Hired on Thumbtack

We hired Black Dog Electric to fix a switch, install a ceiling fan, and wire and install a ceiling fan in a room with no overhead light. They did a really great job and we are very happy with their work. They got us scheduled quickly and finished the job in just a couple hours. We will definitely be using them again for our electrical needs. Very friendly guys, too!

HIRE THIS GUY!!! We bought a beater messed-up house with a pushmatic panel and very odd/dangerous wiring throughout. We got a few quotes and a bunch of electricians just gave us quotes and vanished or stopped responding, etc. Black dog was no nonsense, stuck to their word and did good work. Quote was reasonable in the amount of work we had done as well.

Thanks so much! We'll definitely bring you back!
