Review by Lillian P. in Newark, DE
Project: Install Electrical Switches, Outlets, and Fixtures
I could not be happier! I am n the process of remodeling my house, & am doing 1 room at a time. I had recessed lighting installed. The electrician was extremely professional & did an excellent job; little mess. People complain about how much certain electrical jobs cost; however, we do not know the extent of the job. I am not an electrician, but I am a firm believer, that you get what you pay 4. Granted, expensive may not always means an outstanding job, but I can say the price, customer service, & quality of the job was well spent. N my opinion, they were gentle on the pockets, & gentle with their quality of work. The name suits them well!

Review by Ron B. in Wilmington, DE
Project: Install a Ceiling Fan
I had a ceiling fan installed in the master bedroom while I was at work. When I got home I noticed the ceiling fan was too low so I called to have them come back and correct the job. They came back the next day and adjusted the fan to the correct height, without any additional charge.

Gentle Ben did a great job. Sean McCollum, the owner, called me the same day that I made the ServiceMagic request and was out the next day to review the job and provide an estimate, with his guys on the job the very next morning. Thanks.

I could not be more pleased with the speed at which the electrician arrived at my home after my phone call and the experience level of the electrician.

Project: Repair an Attic or Whole House Fan
Electrician had to do carpentry also to successfully install fan and he worked tirelessly on the roof in the heat and humidity to get the job done.
