A Google customer hired Dell Hoskins to hunt down a mystery short-circuit behind the walls, worried it would mean tearing walls apart, and wrote that he found it without having to do that. That customer said he has handled a number of electrical issues in their home, shows up when he says he will, and explains the options available. A customer contacted Dell to install an outlet for a generator, agreed to his estimate, and said he showed up when he said he would. While working on the fuse panel, he identified a few minor issues and corrected them. A Maine electrician license, number MS60021682, is active on the state registry; its holder of record is Derrill J. Hoskins.
I contacted Dell to install an outlet for my generator. He gave me an estimate and I agreed to the work. He showed up when he said he would and performed the work with no issues. As he was working on the fuse panel, he identified a few minor issues and corrected them. I would highly recommend Dell. He is honest and does really good work.
I highly recommend Dell Hoskins for any electrical services you may need. He's a down-to-earth, honest businessman who cares about the quality of his work, and cares about his customers. He is a highly skilled electrician who has completed a number of electrical issues in my home, including hunting down a mystery short-circuit behind the walls - that I feared would require tearing apart some walls, but he did not have to do that! I know I can always count on him, he shows up when he says he'll be there, he explains what he's doing and gives you the options that are available. As a bonus, I've found him to be a great guy - easy to talk to, and a pleasure to work with! I don't hesitate to recommend Dell to anyone in need of electrical work. I'm grateful to finally have a trusted, reliable electrician I can call when an emergency arises.
