Kenny came on time as promised and finished his work with good quality. The amount charge for the work was very reasonable compared to other contractor.

Kenny did a great job installing my ceiling fan. He and his guys were punctual, professional, friendly, and reliable. Kenny responded to my messages quickly and found a time that worked for me within the week. When they realized they needed additional tools, they went out and quickly returned with what they needed. They even took their shoes off when they came in, without me asking! My ceiling fan works perfectly! Will definitely reach out to Kenny again in the future.

Kenny is a great guy, prompt in responding to all my questions, providing estimations etc, prompt to the work and finished on time perfectly. He knows his work, came to fix (retrofit) chandelier brace to hold the heavier chandelier, which another pro did not do a good job, and left hanging heavier chandelier (60 lb) on an existing brace that can only support 10 lb. I wish I hired him to do the installation in the first place. I would recommend him to all electrical needs

Kenny was great. He showed up early, he and is team knocked out what I wanted and couldn’t be happier. Had some projects and he did it with ease, would definitely recommend.

Kenny installed a new light fixture with a fan in my condo. He showed up on a Sunday and installed the new light without issue. He and his worker were very professional and did great work. His pricing is fair. I will definitely call him next time I need electrical work. Good guy, would definitely recommend.

Kevin showed up promptly on time and even gave me a heads up prior to heading out. It was a bit difficult job installing a large glass chandelier in a tall ceiling. Even more complicated was the fact that there was no existing switch. Kevin very resourcefully located a wire that ran to another outlet and used it to control the chandelier! Job was well done and I will use Kevin for my future jobs since he prices very competitive too. Would definitely recommend.

Kenny and his team did an awesome job installing my ceiling fan/light fixture and my bedroom ceiling light. He was quick, clean, accommodating and kind! Love the fan and appreciate your work.

Kenny and Jonny were great! They came earlier, prices were reasonable and we’re done in less than an hour to replace my kitchen pendant lights. I would hire them again!

Howard W.Dec 2022

I would highly recommend Kenny. Very professional and reliable. He helped move and created a new outlet in my kitchen. It was quick and the price was reasonable.

Sylvia L.Nov 2022

Kenny is a pleasure to work with. He is honest, friendly, accommodating and very reasonable in his pricing. Kenny takes the time to explain how he plans to do the work. He and his team did an excellent job. He originally gave me a rough estimate but was able to reduce the already reasonable quote because he was able to use some existing piping. He’s very much in demand but still managed to squeeze me in to complete an urgent job for me.

Michelle P.Aug 2022

Kenny responded to my request for a ceiling fan installation right away. He and his partner were able to come within days of our fan arriving and did every step- fan assembly, rewiring the electrical connections in the room, and installing the fan, all in just 1 hour. The price was very good for all this and we were very happy with the results. We will definitely be using Kenny for any electrician jobs in the future!

Antoniette F.Jul 2022

Kenny and his crew did a wonderful job with the project I requested. He was quick to respond on Thumbtack and provided a date within the following week. He and his crew was punctual and did a great job installing and hardwiring wall sconces and outdoor outlets. The cost of the job was also reasonable amd fair, I will definitely hire him again in the future.

Chris A.Jul 2022

Kenny and his team knocked out a proper range hood installation with a vent through the kitchen chimney, as well as a handful of other requests (replace bathroom fan, fix some outlets), all in under 4 hours and for a reasonable price. I won't hesitate to hire him again for a few other projects I need done.

Kenny was very straight forward. Super awesome guy. Highly recommend.

Kathleen N.Mar 2022

Installed two lighted medicine cabinets. One was defective and he was happy to return to finish the job once a new cabinet arrived. He did a great job and was on time and professional.
