We've been using this company for years. Landon and Chris (electrical) worked on a job recently (kind of a pain, and has been ongoing involving hot tub hook up and other outdoor wiring in and under things including pavers and drilling through thick metal) It's always a pleasure. Landon is the reason we started working with this company. He helped us through a number of challenging issues. Talk about attention to detail and customer concern. Landon and Chris both go out of their way and are incredibly knowledgeable in their field. Patience, neatness, excellence, ability to problem solve, and stay positive and connected to client experience are just a few traits I would put at the top of the list.

I have an annual contract with Masters Brothers. It gives me peace of mind to know my systems are running efficiently. I also used them recently for some electrical needs. I appreciate the fact that every service technician is knowledgeable and takes the time to talk to me, educate me and make sure I understand my systems. I highly recommend them.

Once again, Masters Brothers performed exceptional work for us. This time, I met a new tech — Josh Powell, who installed a large ceiling fan in the peak of a tricky vaulted ceiling. Josh was prompt, kind, considerate, and even went the extra mile to mount the remote to the wall for me. We can always count on Masters Brothers and recommend them highly for large and small projects alike.
