Easton the technician was friendly and knowledgeable. He got my ceiling fan put together and installed in no time at all. He was also able to fix the light in my garage. Overall I'm very satisfied with the outcome and would recommend Makale and his team for any electrical work you need done. Service with a smile 👍🏽

Quick and affordable service! I needed a ceiling fan installed before a birthday party and he squeezed us in, put my new ceiling fan together and installed it. Very reasonable price compared to the other pro’s. 10/10 Highly recommend!

Makale responded to our request very quickly and offered to come the same day. He was able to quickly diagnose the issue with our ceiling fan which sat with the switch. He made quick repairs and pricing was very fair. He was very professional and we would definitely hire him again.

I hired Blue Tiger for 14 different electrical installs including flush mounts, ceiling fans, exhaust fans, and even a track light! It took two seperate days to finish the installs but with so many of them, that felt standard. Makale was punctual, professional, and affordable! The only thing I would say I wish I knew I wanted/for you to think about is drywall repair/patchwork. The home I remodeled was from the 70s and I didn't realize how large the holes were for the openings for the original fixtures. If your home is older and it's a remodel project, I recommend bundling in a drywall repair deal (I'm not sure he does this service but its worth asking!) Aside from that, I am very happy with the work he has done. I am living in the property now and have had no issues.

Makale completed 4 tasks for us - installed 3 new 4” recessed lights and hung 3 new lights. The work was done quickly with great care and professionalism. He cleaned up his work area from the dust and debris which made everything look brand new. Thank you! The lights look amazing.

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I was looking to become a carpenter, so I was helping my brother finish his basement and ended up wiring up lights as-well We turned the power on and my mind was blown away by how they lights actually came on! I get that same fascination every-time I do work.
