The did a good job with our main complaint being that it took a few weeks longer than estimated. Along the way we added a few items to the list of what we wanted them to do and they didn't charge us for them. They were also very good about giving us ideas on lighting various parts of the house. They were OK about cleanup but not great. One might think that the "few weeks extra" is too long in and of itself. Well it was a lot of work and involved: - new service (meter, cable, box, 100->150 amp upgrade) - all new 3-wire wiring throughout the (was knob and tube) - plugs and lights outside the house - About 30 new plugs in the house with some on dedicated circuits in the basement (GFI), bathrooms (GFI), and one dedicated line per bedroom for air conditioners. - Some 3-way switches, a doorbell. - Hanging new fixtures (they did this for free) - Separate fan/light switches in all bedrooms - New ceiling lights. - recessed lighting (3 lights) etc etc I recommend them.
