Hired on Thumbtack

Shane was courteous and professional. He showed up on time and did the work efficiently. He installed 6 fans in no time. I also asked him to install a timer for my front door light and a surge protector for my circuit breaker but didn’t know those products well. He volunteered to pick them up at the hardware store for me. That was above and beyond. I will definitely call him again for other lighting projects.

I was fortunate enough to have Shane message me right away to install my EV wall charger. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and kind. He answered all my questions and concerns. He messaged me prior to arrival telling me that he was on his way, while he was at my home he was respectful with my belongings around his work area and even cleaned up the excess dust and dry wall surrounding the charger. I definitely will hire him again in the future.
