Max Electric is very professional. Our Project manager Raushan is professional, on top of the schedule, and very open in conversation on status and things to consider. The team he manages is very capable. If you are not sure, have a conversation with Max, who can walkthrough the entire process and answer most questions. Highly recommend Max Electric.

Lucas was knowledgeable, professional and kind. What I thought would be a simple job, a few new outlets and a dimmer switch, turned out to be much, much more. It is an old house so I guess I should not have been surprised. Despite this, he completed the work in a timely manner and made sure to leave everything clean. I would absolutely recommend.
