You can tell more about what a company is like when something goes wrong than when it goes right. In our case the fault was Long Family Electric's. They admitted it with no excuses or hesitancy.

I can’t say enough good things about this company. Whenever you call, they are always extremely friendly and professional. If for some reason they can’t get to the phone or need to call you back, they always call back exactly when they say they will. I’ve had them out to my property multiple times, and used them as subcontractors for various other projects through work. If for some reason, they are going to be running a few minutes late, even as little as 15 minutes, they always give me a call, at least an hour in advance and let me know. I have no problem referring them to anyone I know in need of any type of electrical work. Extremely professional, no complaints at all. Great company!

Although I have not had a need for electrical services, I recently met David Long and instantly felt that he is committed to serving his clients with their best interest in mind and is passionate about performing at the highest level with professionalism. I strongly recommend you call and give his team an opportunity to earn your business - you will be quite surprised with their impressive customer care.
