What our customers say
“Our panel was a 40-year-old Federal Pacific and the inspector flagged it. They replaced it with a 200 amp panel in one day, coordinated the utility, and the price matched the quote to the dollar.”
Marcus D., Rhode Island“They rewired our 1920s colonial without destroying the plaster. We stayed in the house the whole time. Couldn't be happier with how careful the crew was.”
Tom & Angela W., Rhode Island“Whole house generator installed before hurricane season. It's kicked on twice already and we didn't lose a thing in the freezer. Worth every penny.”
