I need an GFCI outlet in my bathroom. I contacted Ben through Thumbstack and he return my call few minutes later and I hired him and scheduled for the work few days later. Ben came in time, he did a great job to run a new wire from the electrical panel to the bathroom, so he can installed a new outlet. I am very pleased with his work. I will hire him again for the electrical need in the future.

Ben did a great job on our three or four small-ish electrical issues around the house -- fixed dead outlets, ran new lines in the house to accommodate higher electrical loads, installed a new exterior light and fixed our doorbell system, which had never worked! Impressed with his work ethic and quality of his work. Highly recommend, would definitely hire Ben again.

I hired Ben to replace a ceiling fan in my two story dining room. He’s very personable, works clean. He replaced the fan and it was working perfectly and then suddenly stopped. I went through the manufacturer’s troubleshooting guidelines and couldn’t figure out the problem. Called Ben back, he looked at All of the wiring etc and it appeared it was a faulty fan part. Ended up getting a replacement from the manufacturer but upon coming out to out the new one, Ben dug a bit deeper and found a loose wire in the connection in the ceiling. Sure, he could’ve dug deeper the first time but he didn’t charge me for the second time so I really appreciated his honesty. I replaced another fan myself and ran into an issue and he was able to fix that when he hired him to add some pendant lights over my island. He’s a good guy, responsive, easy to communicate and work with. I’ll hire him again :)

Ben was very responsive, accurate with his estimates and timely. He installed a generator switch, fixed some faulty outlets, and routed Ethernet cables in my wall. I would recommend and will be using Ben for an upcoming basement finish.

Working with Ben was fantastic. He was able to accommodate an early AM start time and tolerate a curious dog investigating his every move. He helped install a new ceiling fan box and stayed the full hour to assist with the fan installation. He’s a pro and I’d recommend him to anyone looking for an electrician.
