Sheila Richburg says, "We had a great experience working with Jeremy. He installed new wiring for our TV and prepared everything needed for future sconce lighting. The work was done carefully and with close attention to detail. Jeremy arrived on time, explained the process in clear, straightforward language, and kept the space clean while he worked. The TV setup looks polished and well planned, and we appreciate that he will be returning to install the sconces once we select the fixtures. He was professional, easy to work with, and clearly takes pride in his work. We would happily recommend Jeremy to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable electrician."See more

BECKY B. says, "I can't remember when I have ever been so happy about hiring someone to do a job. Two days before a big ice storm was due to arrive, my generator stopped working. After contacting several companies, no one was able to come to the house to help me. I reached out to a generator repair company called M & S Generator Services and hit the jackpot. Rebecca responded immediately and had a tech come out early the next day. Shayne was here quickly, was professional, explained AND showed me what the problem was and how he was going to fix it. He went above and beyond what I was expecting. If you don't use M & S Generator Services, you aren't getting your money's worth. Exceptional."See more
