Carol P. says, "If I could rate this company a 10 I would. They replaced an almost 60 year old panel with one to provide dedicated circuits for each appliance for a complete kitchen remodel. They also rewired to support the new dedicated circuits, upgraded outlets and for undercabinet lighting. Gerson and his team were professional in every way - punctual, hardworking and obviously excellent electricians. When I asked for lights inside a cabinet, Gerson suggested lighting around the inside perimeter, which looks great. I could go on and on but will stop with this: this is a great company: Gerson is a master electrician and it shows in the service. Finally, the price was excellent. I recommend them without reservations."See more

Gail M. says, "They repaired the box bay window on my house and replaced some wood with PVC and painted. They were reliable and completed the job promptly as stated. The end result looks fantastic and is a great improvement. Jose also made suggestions and modifications for a previous failed repair. I will hire them again for further work. I also like that they gave me 2 quotes according to how much I wanted to spend, I could have spent less and fixed it more frequently. I wanted it to last but sometimes money is the main object. Not every contractor that gave me an estimate gave me that option or recommended better improvements. I will be referring people and myself to JMV in the near future."See more
