John Watson was fantastic. I had an electrical issue in kitchen and before he even came over and charged me money he took the time to walk me through some troubleshooting steps and we eventually found the problem and resolved the issue. Although John's services were not needed this time, I am going to keep his phone number handy for any future electrical issues and will gladly recommend him to anyone who needs electrical services. Thank you John.

Of 8 companies I inquired, only 1 took the initiative to give me a call. That was John Watson Electrician. What great timing! He called me when I was at my job site troubleshooting power limitations for seasonal lighting on a large property. He was able to assess the situation and come up with solutions from photos I sent.

John found that in order to run enough uninterrupted power, the house would need a dedicated breaker and circuit for the outlets on the outside of the house. Because the house has no crawlspace, it wouldn't be easy to route a new circuit to the other side of the house. He suggested a few workarounds. Although I haven't decided yet, I now have some ideas I can pitch to my client once they are ready to upgrade their house to really make their holidays shine!

I called him Saturday morning for an electrical issue at my store and he was there 40 minutes later to thoroughly solve the problem! I will be calling him regarding more work today because I was impressed with his great communication.

John is a rare individual who truly loves his job. He was very respectful, friendly and genuine in his intention to help people.

One conversation with him and you will quickly see the enthusiasm and the high level of expertise.

He was extremely patient answering all of my 100 questions and imparted knowledge that made me feel confident about tackling the job myself in the future.

You will want to save his number on your phone. Highly recommended!

EDIT: John contacted me and apologized for not returning my two calls when I needed a light fixture changed. I will use them again in the future because prior to my calling for the light fixture, they did a great job re-wiring my 1926 house and they were extremely courteous. They made me feel safe in my home again.

John was the second electrician I called after the first one told me I needed to replace my entire fuse box, and that it would cost me $2,400 to do so. He talked to me about the issue I was having for about 10 minutes on the phone and was extremely helpful and informative. When I asked him if he could send someone out he asked where I was and he just happened to be only 10 minutes from my house. He came right over, looked at everything and knowing that someone had quoted me $2,400 to replace the fuse box then told me that all I needed was a main breaker replacement which would cost me roughly $300. This is why you always get multiple quotes. Great guy, honest business owner and knowledgeable as hell. Thanks, John.

I'm surprised to see a bad review of this wonderful electrician. I think yelpers need to allow at least a little room for the human factor! He's helped me and my husband twice. Once over the phone free of charge and again yesterday when he installed three new light fixtures at what I thought was an excellent price. We're having him come back again soon to install a power outlet in the bedroom and remove an old ugly one that's up by the ceiling for some reason. I saw that one yelper suspects that all Johns good reviews are written by his friends, that's quite a conspiracy theory! Well, I promise me and my husband never met this guy before he came to our house yesterday!

Helped me over the phone over Memorial Day weekend! Excellent customer service and will contact and use again!

My review is based on a phone call and I do not know John Personally. I originally called john after an ""Electrician""(vulture) wanted to charge me a lot of money. This man was in my house for 5 mins before wanting to charge me $400 to search for the origin of my electrical issue which I'm sure he had some idea where it started. I said no thank you,searched online and found John. I called him and to my surprise, he was trying to help me trouble shoot on the phone. I had read the reviews on yelp and thought he probably knows these people...until I experienced the same situation lol. He attempted to help me over the phone after telling him about my experience with the ""other guy"". Anyway he stayed on the phone with me for about 45 mins, this is unheard of these days. He got me started on my project but I still had to bring in a friend from work to continue trouble shooting. He didn't have the parts but left it easy enough for me to finish the job. I finished the job by installing two GFI outlets. The point of my review, John is a rare find these days. He seems to really love his craft, cares about his customers and makes sure they are satisfied with the end result. I will use or recommend him for future electrical issues.
UPDATE 2017- Recently I had to call Mr. Watson for another electrical issue. He came out, did some trouble shooting and repaired my electrical problem. While he was trouble shooting, he explained his method to detect the origin of the problem and along the way he also educated me on electrical basics. My issue was a circuit breaker so he switched it out and so far so good.
