Booked Jim's Electrical for two extra GPOs and a pendant swap. The electrician arrived inside the promised window, explained the cabling route clearly, and the final invoice matched the quoted mid-range figure.

We used them for a switchboard upgrade after a failed inspection. The franchise operator handled permits and photos well, although pricing was a touch higher than the independent quote we compared.

Needed a same-day ceiling fan install before tenants moved in. Communication was tight, the installer cleaned up, and the fan was balanced properly on first test.
