Testimonials
"Special thanks to you Al for having your foreman and his helpers repair my outside electrical service and my neighbors, the day after they were torn from our houses by a falling tree in a windstorm 2 weeks ago. I thought you would like to know that the PECO repair men who restored our service complimented you and the quality of work that had been done, saying "it was superior to most repair jobs". -- Customer, Dorothy Berner, Phila, PA
"The fact that you stayed in contact with me to set up appointments and that James (your employee) arrived on time, especially prepared to do the work, means a great deal. It is really difficult these days to find people in the construction/electrical fields who deliver a quality product in a timely and efficient manner. The fact that you do, insures that I will continue to call you when again the need arises for services.
