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.

John’s expertise, flexible scheduling and fair pricing make him the one we call whenever we need an electrician. He’s creative in finding solutions to challenging installations — we’ve used him for big jobs (rewiring a cottage renovation; bringing power to a detached garage) and small jobs (connecting power after replacing an electric tankless water heater). John is a professional you can trust!
