"Considering I interact with all kinds of contractors in my line of work, I know how much of a pain they can be to deal with so I d give out 5 stars lightly. Working with Michael was an absolute breeze from start to finish. He responded to my request promptly, took my call right away, was upfront with pricing, showed up on time, very friendly, explained everything clearly, didn't try to upsell me on unnecessary work and got the outlet replaced in half an hour. I would not hesitate to call him again and will happily recommend him to anyone I know in the area who needs an electrician. This is the kind of customer service you want."
