Zach put in two outlets and a switch in our office. He was very professional, explained what he was going to do, gave me an estimate up front and finished the work that day. He also cleaned up after himself. I am very satisfied with the work and the demeaner of this employee. I will definitely be using Hoffman Brothers again.

Garret offered us more help than I would’ve imagined. Although the best solution for my problem is to replace our hot water heater, he helped us understand why it was having issues and what we can expect until we can schedule an installation. When we decide to replace it I look forward to calling Hoffmann Brothers!

Been with Hoffmann Brothers for years with multiple properties. Service was AMAZING in the beginning. Unfortunately, it's progressively gotten worse, in particular with communication. "Someone will be there in 30 minutes"... and then they'll show up 1-2 hours later. "You're our first appointment tomorrow at 7am"…
