I ignored the poor review…read moreabout his lack of communication, and contacted him anyway, because the reviews of work were good. Unfortunately, thw communication was sporadic and poor. I even gave my number to him on Yelp, and he neglected to reach out to me directly until he was "on his way". He said he would contact me after thw first few jobs he had, and I said it was okay, but he gave not time frame at all for a call or visit, so of course when he called to say he was done with his other job and could be on the way, I was not available to take the call. I sent him a message to ask if he schedules appointments or could give a window to expect his arrival, but as before, no response to my message. I honestly cannot say whether his work is good, but I can say the way he operates is not conducive to getting things done in a way that most customers are accustomed to. Without consistent communication or setting up times for service, it was neay impossible to accomplish working with him. I wish the best of luck, but the experience was not organized or professional.

One great story - we had just moved into our new house and were hosting 20 ppl last Thanksgiving when we discovered the huge chandelier over the dining room table was not working due to a faulty switch. We called the morning before Thanksgiving and they were out to fix it that afternoon. It was an easy fix but we didn't have the time or patience with a house full of guests and tons of cooking to worry about it. It was great to have it taken care of so quickly by a pro.
