You know those home projects you just keep putting off because you don't even know who to reach out to? My outdoor front lawn post light stopped working after months of going through bulbs super quickly and flickering. My street is extremely dark, so it helps having illumination at night. I pushed this project back since we got holiday lights installed, but now that they're coming down, I decided to try Yelp's project feature to find an electrician.
Two businesses reached out and Eric was the most responsive. He shared his availability and even came to check it out on the weekend. We had a small scheduling snafu one day, but it was mostly my fault for not being home. Thankfully, he was able to stop by the next day and figured out a problem with the sensor that makes the light turn on automatically once it's dark. He said the piece to replace that was $25 and he could purchase/install it for me. He was also able to fix the top cover which had broken screws.
I remembered that the lights above my sink didn't work either, so I asked if he could check those out as well. He did and found a rigged MacGyver situation on the switch box. It was literally taped together and fell apart as soon as he pulled it out. He explained why this wasn't safe and suggested replacing it. He went and purchased the parts and came back for installation. He showed me that both projects were fixed. It took him almost two hours to do it all.
He charged a service call fee of $125 plus material needed. I'm unsure how this compares with other electricians but I'm extremely happy with his work and it was worth it to take those two projects off my list. He accepts cash, check, Venmo and cash app as payment, which also makes it convenient. Highly recommend! read more
