Rob came out and did a fantastic job at a fabulous price ( building inspector was impressed ). Walked me thru the entire process and made great suggestions. Only electrician I’ll ever use from this point on.
Rob was great to work with. He came out and didn’t just quote the job, he walked me through the steps it would take to do the job correctly. He quoted me a fair price for excellent work, so I’d recommend him to anyone looking to upgrade or initial install.
The work has been scheduled just waiting on parts. Rob has been forward and upfront.
They reached out quickly to me and discussed the job and arranged a time to come and give a estimate. Rob showed up on time and was knowledgeable and helpful. I accepted the estimate and arranged a time for the work to be done. Once again Rob showed up on time prepared to do the work. He complained the job in the amount of time given. The work that was done was well done and very professional. He was very helpful and easy to work with. Also he was able to answer any questions that I had. I would recommend them to do work for others and will be hiring them again for any future work that needs to be done. Thanks Rob. Appreciate the work you did.
Job is still in the process of completion.As of this time I am very pleased. Mr.Buckley is very knowledgeable, pleasant, not pushy. It's rare I can say I trust someone but I trust this contractor.I would highly him.
