Hiring this contractor may lead to unfinished work. I've witnessed numerous projects that were started but never completed because his parents, who fund his lifestyle, often convince him to abandon the job. Since his parents cover his bills, own his house, and purchase his vehicles outright with their wealth, he lacks the motivation to see projects through. This has negatively impacted many clients, as well as his associates and unpaid workers. I strongly recommend doing your due diligence and checking references before proceeding to avoid the unfortunate experiences others have had.

John Blackburn Electric
I specialize in smaller jobs and solving problems your last Electrician left you with. There is never a charge to take a quick look at a job for an estimate. I have been doing this for 15 years and before that I served honorable for 4 years in the Marine Corps.
License covers C-10 Electrical.
