The men from Veteran Wire Electric were knowledgeable and polite. They had to get into the crawl space under the house to move a wire. After the wire was moved, they put in a junction box and new outlet. They were quick and efficient. I thought their pricing was very reasonable. Thank you.
Worst decision ever to hire this company! They sent two kids who had no idea what they were doing. Left electrical boxes hanging out of my wall UNATTACHED. installed a plug AND NEVER HOOKED IT UP!! Run run run as fast as you can and call anyone but these guys!!!!!
Very pleased with the work and professionalism of Mike and his team. He was willing to deal with a variety of electrical issues and coordinated with the carpenter to complete the work.
