Hired this outstanding team to finish kitchen remodelling work that another (well-respected) company started and messed up. An estimate was provided quickly and professionally, it was reasonable and some options were outlined to correct the errors and improve the outcome. The team showed up on-time and with an energetic, can-do attitude. They completed all items on the project list, reviewed it with me to make sure I was satisfied, and cleaned up well at the finish. I highly recommend this team, you will not be disappointed.

Ashton Electric replaced the old electrical breaker panel in our home and outlets for a new washer/dryer setup. John and his team were absolute experts. Within hours we were washing clothes again with no more power outages. Ashton Electric will definitely get my first call for future electrical work.
