I’ve used Max Electric multiple times and continue to trust their work. Lucas clearly knows his stuff and did an excellent job. He was friendly, efficient, and thorough. He installed four lights and also troubleshot two outlets that weren’t working, getting everything resolved smoothly. It’s always a great experience working with a team you can rely on.
