Kyle did an amazing job on electrical work that was required to hang a new TV over our fireplace. There were no electrical outlets for where they were required; so Kyle had to cut thru the walls, install a new outlet and repair the walls including painting. You can’t tell where he even cut into the wall and the TV looks beautiful!
We had Kyle out to do some electrical work needed on our property. He performed beautiful work and we were very pleased on his attention to detail and professionalism when working with us. He showed up on time, and completed everything we needed very efficiently. We will be using him from now on for all of our electrical projects as well as renovations. Thanks Kyle!
