Report
I didn't actually get to use them because they never called back. I called to request an estimate on rewiring my very old home, as we still had knob and tube. The woman who answered tried to talk me out of it saying it "costs tens of thousands of dollars." I then spoke to a very friendly man who said he would call the following day but I never heard back. We ended up going with another company and they did a great job. Also it was nowhere close to tens of thousands of dollars.
