Work Description: Upgrading a home old fuse box

Comments: I had a problem with my fuse box sparking and decided it was time for an upgrade. Gental Ben was on time, did the work in the freezing cold and didn’t complain. It took about 5 hours and now I have a nice 150amp breaker panel. I am very happy with their work and would definitely recommend them. Then I had an issue that night with an outlet I had left exposed which I thought didn’t work but it sparked so guess what they were nice enough to come out the next morning to install. I feel so much better thanks to Gentle Ben. One more thing they are reasonable, friendly and professional.

Work Description: New outlets in garage and bathroom.

Comments: Found these folks on YP. Top notch electrician! 

Had a number of jobs (old house), the fellow came out the next day to give us an estimate. One of the items was several non-operable outlets, which he diagnosed and repaired at no charge. This involved resetting the breaker, but he easily could have charged me and I would not have known. 

To the requested work, they showed up on the scheduled day, on time, did the work as promised, charged exactly as quoted and did a nice job cleaning up after themselves. 

Would hire these folks again. Recommended without hesitation.
