I called Art to install 2 new light fixtures and switches, and he came same day and got the job done quickly and professionally. He had estimated 2 hours but ended up taking just over 1 hour, and he only charged me for 1 hour. I will definitely use Art again for any electrical work

So delighted to have found the team at Max Electric! Alas, I had planned to do this identical work with another contractor who totally failed to deliver, but from first meeting, everyone at Max's was prompt, professional and delivered expertise on all levels.
