    I always dread having to wait for any contractor to come to my house. It’s always about a days wait. This time, though, they sent out an electrician to my house within 2 hours of my initial phone call. They did what needed to be done and I didn’t wait around all day. He even had the electrical parts I needed right in his truck. Will use these guys again.
