I think this is only the second online review I've ever left but Volt Doctors provided such amazing…read moreservice that I was compelled to write. A tree unexpectedly took down my power line on a Saturday and pulled the entire power meter and pole off my house. Since it was a weekend my usual electrician wasn't available and he recommended Volt Doctors. Their 24 hr dispatcher immediately answered and they had an electrician on site within two hours on a Saturday evening. Erik, helped get my generator running and hooked up, and an hour after that I had an estimate and repair plan in hand. On Sunday and Monday Summer was in frequent contact with updates and by Monday afternoon the repair was complete and good as new! The job came in under the projected time and under budget, so they reduced the cost to the real hours worked. I can't speak highly enough about Volt Doctors, THIS is how you run a business!

We moved to North Carolina from the west coast which means you don't have a network of plumbers and…read moreelectricians, and mechanics and such... It is such a vulnerable situation. My daughter bought a home and it need some electrical work done to fix a few minor things and to hardwire some flood lights, patio lights and other projects. After a first attempt with a company that charged a service fee ($129) and sent 3 men that did absolutely NOTHING that we needed...I had the lucky fortune of finding Volt Doctors. The owner is a very nice and hard-working local man businessman that knows his stuff. They were able to work on many items on my list and I am excited they will be coming back to give the house a complete check for older sockets and some loose plugs. (Clearly I don't know the correct terms) - But I DO know what it feels like to have someone NOT take advantage of me. THANK YOU Volt Doctors for running an honest business with reasonable pricing and good quality work!

My job must be wearing me thin (in the figurative sense, rather than the literal unfortunately). I…read moreknow this because twice in one month I've ordered something online only to discover the week of that I never actually completed the ordering process, clicked "confirm" or "submit" or what have you. And so I find myself flailing the day before an event without a) a giant cardboard cow cut-out -- or in this case b) a video projector. Panicked, I started pulling up Google searches to see where I could rent one same-day but most of the places I found were parts of larger organizations that weren't locally based and didn't offer same-day delivery. Enter Custom Light & Sound. I phoned them up and spoke with Matt -- sounded youngish, and maybe a little green. Asked me all the right questions though -- how big and how dark is the space, how many people are attending. After he took down my info and told me to pick it up before noon, I had to finally ask him how much it was and what the product was. Turns out, he'd picked something out for me based on my needs that wasn't featured on their website. So, whereas I'd thought the costs for their projectors ranged from $100-200, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that my not-on-the-website projector was only $85! I went to pick it up and met Lee at the register. The first words out of his mouth were "21" which is an odd thing to say to someone you've just met. I looked inquisitively at my husband and then back at him. And he expounded: "We only rent to 21 and up." Good Lord, I'm pushing 30. But whatever. Turns out he's best friends with my husband's former college roommate -- so it's okay that he bruised my ego. They called Wayne to come out and check on the equipment before handing it off to me. He was a bit gruff, but did look through everything and assure us it had all the required cables, etc. The credit card machine wasn't working at pick-up so Lee gave us the okay to take it with the promise that we'll pay when we return it. Equipment ran great and interactions with the folks here was overall a positive experience. And don't be fooled by the cramped-looking exterior. Once you enter this little treasure trove, you'll discover it runs deep and is packed to the gills with audio and lighting goodies, plus fun accessories like disco balls and fog machines!

This place has been a running joke between my friends and I for years that it is a cover up shop for the Mafia.

However the cloest I can get in window shopping so please please please someone solves this mystery for my friends and I. xoxo

They were very honest, and told me that one of the lamps, although old, was fine and didn't need anything replaced! The 2nd lamp only needed a new socket, and the 3rd lamp only required a new plug! In addition to being honest, they were able to replace both the plug and the socket while I waited (huge for me since I work the same hours they do...). They were helpful and professional and I highly recommend them!

And I was excited to hear that she'd closed the store and revamped with a new concept that focused more on retail with fewer big-ticket furniture items, and more details. When I ventured in yesterday, honestly, it didn't seem that different to me from before. But I still reveled in all the beautiful pieces -- from jewelry, to sconces, to throw pillows. It's all a bit higher than my everyday price-point; but for a special something to really make your room sing, this'd be just the place.

The only think I really did not like about this shop was that the entire time we were browsing we did not see anyone.
