Kaleb was a pleasure to work with. He was able to fit me into his schedule on short notice. He was able to troubleshoot my electrical issue. Thank you.

Ronald Hogg

The best customer service hands down! When Kaleb said he was going to be there he showed up!! What we needed required a lot of troubleshooting so he was very patient and determined to get the job done. He communicated with us and kept us in the loop throughout the process so there were no surprises. Very professional!! Highly recommend!!

Bob Bergemann

Kaleb Dutil provided a level of personalized service that we didn't have before moving to North Carolina. He is a very personable, conscientious and skilled electrician. He listened to our list of requirements, suggested a few alternatives saving us some money, then provided us with a very reasonable job estimate. He started and completed the jobs when he said he would while cleaning up as he went so that we didn't have to.

Russ Chester

Kaleb answers your call himself and immediately schedules an appointment for within a few days or if an immediate problem, he will make best effort to fit you in the day. He is courteous, knowledgeable and reasonable in pricing. I have called him on three occasions and am very pleased with his response time and work ethic.

Gayle Mast

These guys are great, they showed up early and finsihed early. On time and a good value for the money. Kaleb took the time to answer my questions as well as ask them of me. Great job overall. Thanks again

I called Kaleb when my motor generator "blew up." He had never worked on the model before but figured it out and fixed it with parts from the local Auto Supply Store. What more can you ask for: Friendly, smart, resourceful, and effective.

Jim Dowling, Hampstead

Excellent service. Very fast reaction to call. While working, Kaleb went above and beyond. Kaleb noticed some problems with the hardware (not pertaining to the call) and promptly replaced it. He also looked over another unrelated problem and provided me with advice on how to correct it. Great...
