Akil did all of the electrical work in our home renovation and we could not have found someone better. Akil is incredibly hard working, thorough, and knowledgeable. He is very well priced and we highly recommend!
Very professional in his work and did a great job in installing fixtures. Kept me well informed throughout the process and cleaned up after the job.

We had a wonderful experience with Akil. Great prices for great work; he helped with rewiring our house to get it up to code, as well as replacing outlets, security cameras and light fixtures with minimal damage to our home. Very responsive and communicative through all our projects. Thanks again!
This guy is amazing! He delivers great service at very reasonable prices. I highly recommend him. I interested 3 electricians before hiring Akil. The other electricians were not only expensive but also had no clue how to solve my issue. Akil got the job done without destroying my new house. Thank you!!
