Report
In the middle of having a new dishwasher installed I needed an electrician. I didn't know who to call when the installer stated he'd heard good reviews about Small Jobs Electric. So I called them. Best decision all day. The ladies in the office were welcoming and very helpful. They dispatched Ron who was at my home within 45 minutes. He was professional, extremely nice, articulate, and accessed and completed the job quickly. Thank you Ron and I've found an electrical company that I will call again. Great Job!

Life savers! Poor service from an AC company forced me to call these guys late this (Friday) afternoon. They came right out, could have charged me an after-hours fee but didn't, and most importantly, solved my problem. Jeff was the technician who showed up and and as far as I'm concerned, as somebody whose house was almost 90 degrees with pets inside, he's a hero. If anybody from Small Jobs mgmt is reading this, hook Jeff up with some kind of reward please! He couldn't be a better representative for your company.
