We had two security cameras (with motion sensors) that needed to be hard wired from a non outlet location. Others quoted me $150-300+ more than David did. I was skeptical of his estimate as others kept telling me there's no way any one could do the job for under a certain amount. David showed up RIGHT ON TIME. I showed him the areas and he went right to work. No fuss, no complaints. I didn't feel the need to check on his work as I trusted he would notify me of any issues (which he did once when he showed me an area he had to cut differently due to wall studs). The cameras were installed cleanly and looks professional! I was even more impressed that he thoroughly cleaned up each area (with a vacuum i think too) when he was finished. I had asked for a landscape lighting repair quote and he diagnosed it pretty much for free (I'm hiring him to come back to replace quite a few broken lights). We hired him to come back to install recessed lighting and a ceiling fan in a ceiling that had no outlets/wires. His prices are really so reasonable. He also worked on our landscape lights that had not worked in so many years. The entire job took almost all day and he worked tirelessly. He did leave for a lunch break but came back. I am in love with the recessed lighting and kicking myself for not having it done sooner. The room is brighter and feels so much more alive. The night/mood feature of lights is sooo cool with the almost sunset orange. I am so thankful to have found this company and owner. It was a breath of fresh air to meet someone this honest and humble with his quotes and work. 100% recommend reaching out to him to speak to him about any electrical issues!

I have worked with this team across a wide variety of projects--including full solar installations (including reinstall after reroof), an EV charger setup, major residential interior remodels requiring strict city inspections, and various small repairs. Every single time, they deliver. Both the owner and the field technicians are phenomenal communicators that I warmly call by their first name. They are pleasant, positive, highly knowledgeable, and you can tell they genuinely have the property owner's best interests in mind. When site conditions get tricky, they are creative and flexible, finding ways to get the job done as cleanly and simply as possible. What I appreciate most is their honesty and integrity. They take complete responsibility for their work, and on the rare occasion an issue arises, they come right back to address it without hesitation. I trust them completely to do an excellent job consistently--and just as importantly, I trust them to be honest about their limits. I once asked them to handle a low-voltage wiring project, and they transparently passed on it because it wasn't their core area of expertise. They only take on jobs they know they can execute flawlessly. On the administrative side, they are entirely professional and above board. Contracts, invoices, and payment tracking are seamless.
