Instead of just giving me the quote as requested he went the extra mile and asked if he could go into my attic on a 105 degree day to inspect something. He realized my windows were fine and the issue was actually in my attic with my air intakes covered with insulation. I really appreciate him going to extra mile for our family!!! Would highly recommend him and the company!!!

I was shocked when they told me that after the services were provided, they paid 1,000 dollars to fix one kitchen outlet! I should have told my neighbors to ask for a quote before scheduling so I take responsibility for that, but never did it occur to me that the price would be so high for one outlet! Is this the going rate for outlet repair or was this an opportunity to rip off the elderly?

He was personable, professional, very courteous, communicative, and efficient. Truly, Plato's idea of an electrician. The cost the service call was incredibly reasonable!

I called again, they were going to be in Vinton and could probably come by to check it out. Never heard from them. A few months later, I called and left a message. Nothing. I tried one more time and left a message as the person (not using the name on purpose) in charge of scheduling these types of appointments is always out, probably installing a fireplace. I removed the wood burner myself, it wasn't difficult. Now I need to get a cap on it to stop the rain from coming in. Needless to say, I will not patronize this business after this experience. Apparently, not returning phone calls is the norm around here; some other businesses I have contacted have done the same. Glad they have enough business.

They were middle of the road, but I like their professionalism. I don't even call anyone else for an estimate anymore, I go straight to them. They get you in timely, and do good work. I would give them 5 stars except last time, the guy forgot my appointment. I called the office 15 minutes past, and he apparently forgot to write it down and double booked. Unfortunately, my house was being painted the next day, so I had to get the exterior light changed that day. He made it before I left for work. I let him in, and he let himself out. I won't let one bad apple spoil the bunch for me on this one though. I'll continue to use them on all my projects. Their reasonably priced, and their quotes are always spot on.
