“Three standout BECMA entrepreneurs were highlighted: Jon Dyer of Jon Dyer Electrician, Dr. Katrina Banks of Neurologic Optimal Wellness, and Ray Berry of White Lion Brewing Co.”
Jon was a true professional. He worked extra time on a Sunday to see the project through to its completion. He did exceptional work and was friendly and collaborative in the process, talking me through the work he was doing. He'll be my electrician going forward.
Jon was exceptional! He was professional, punctual, personable, and thorough. He checked everything that I had concerns about and fixed or replaced what needed to be. I will definitely use his services again if I have electrical issues.
John replaced an antique boob light with a modern fan/light combo in just a couple hours. I had spent months trying to figure out how To disconnect the light and John did it in just a few moments. When he realized we needed a new fan box he rewired that right away. He also went out and got us a medallion when he realized the fan itself would not cover the hole. John was extremely punctual, professional, and kept us informed of exactly what he was doing all along the way. Drew permit and had an inspector following up. We will be bringing him back soon to add a hood vent over our stove!
Nice, responsive!
He was amazing! Came through when my family had a real electrical emergency! Very reasonable prices and was just an all around kind and courteous man!
