So happy with the communication, friendliness and excellent service! Julian was awesome by phone, email and text- he listened, diagnosed, and gave a reasonable estimate. Phil showed up exactly on time, absolutely friendly and professional. He confirmed the diagnosis and fixed the wiring, replaced the fixture, returned power to the dead room, and even gave me a crash course in using the electric panel. All this in an hour! Sure, my problem was simple. But I know nothing about electricity and they could have said or done anything. They were honest, helpful, and skilled. Thanks guys!!

Julian got the job done quickly and at a reasonable price. He was up-front about potential cost overruns but wound up doing the job for less than he predicted. He also tries to procure equipment and supplies from local small businesses (rather than big box stores) which I really appreciate.

Julian TOTALLY went the extra mile to resolve what turned out to be a complex wireless access problem. He came to help me figure out how to get internet in my in-law unit. It wasn't an easy problem to solve - after discussing various options, and explaining everything thoroughly, we came to a solution. Once I procured the necessary hardware, he returned and installed the wireless access point, configuring it so that I could access the neighbor's connection. It didn't work great the first time around because of a glitch with the hardware. He was flexible about timing in terms of returning to set up the replacement one of a better brand. He was available by phone and text to walk me through the process, as someone who isn't very tech savvy. He was an upfront and good communicator, and I highly recommend him.

One of my landscape lights was out. Julian fixed it in less than half an hour. He is pleasant, informative and efficient.

Truth be told, I live in a building that was built in 1894 and is now completely out of code with a number of structural and electrical issues. The reason I contacted Julien was because I was not receiving any signal from the main telephone line in my basement to my 2nd floor apartment, resulting in a loss of internet access. I encountered many issues trying to find an electrician who would work with me on this project since it's generally not something that many electricians take on anymore. However, Julien was different; after reaching out to five different contractors, Julien responded almost immediately, and consistently checked in. Moreover, he was professional, and ""real"" about my building situation. After speaking with some businesses about this project, Julien's professionalism stood out.

There are many businesses that are capable of completing out of ordinary jobs, but not all of them are as responsive or effective in communicating their vision of what needs to be done in a timely manner; his service speaks for itself, and I would refer him with absolutely no reservation. The Electric Handyman is definitely worth checking out!

I'm one of those people who call for help only as a last resort. If at all possible, I try to fix the problem myself. This time I couldn't--the source of the problem was hidden in the wall--and I was lucky to find Julian. He's smart, personable, and genuinely interested in doing a good job. But what I liked best about Julian was his willingness to show me how I could do some of the work myself. That saved me money and earned Julian big points. He may not have the flashiest operation in town, but he'll call back promptly, show up on time, take the time to explain what's needed, and follow up when the job is done.

Enjoying the rain today...and appreciating the job Julian, AKA, the electric handyman, completed recently...replacing my exterior electric outlets with waterproof, GFI protected, boxes. No more tripping of breakers switches due to leaky boxes! Julian responded immediately, and he diagnosed/figured out details of the job by email in advance, so he was ready to get to work on the problem as soon as he arrived. Also he was flexible and good natured about me watching, asking questions...and even helping a bit. As a ""do it yourselfer"", it was great to hire someone who has the skills I lack... But to also learn a bit more about my wiring for future trouble-shooting. Plus, Julian has a whole range of skills that I look forward to calling on in the future!

Julian is great, he was very easy to communicate with, and explained clearly what he would do after I requested his help. He was on time, very quick and answered any question I had. I will definitely call him again if I need any electrical work.
