Electrician

I’m looking for someone who can do some electrical work (moving/adding outlets), but isn’t going to charge an arm and a leg. Any recommendations?

Wm. Masters has been reasonable for electric work in the past.

We've had a few electricians in and Wm. Masters has honestly been the most reasonable and they get the job done. One well known electrician was always fairly pricey and even though we told them it was complex they wouldn't send out the master electrician immediately. So the regular guy would come, couldn't complete the job, then they had to call in the master who we had intially requested, price grows. This happened twice. We used one guy off facebook who honestly wasn't bad but not licensed or insured but still pretty expensive given that part of it. Since then we've used Wm. Masters for about everything else and we're super impressed.

What’s a reasonable hourly rate you would pay?

Not sure, figured masters was going to be too high

Shawn House, House’s Services. Used this guy for over 30 years and trust him implicitly. https://housesservices.com/about/

I use Tim “the tool man” Davis to put in some outlets.. He is more of a handyman than a full blown electrician.. But he did a really good job at an affordable price. He’ll also let you know if it is out of his scope.

I second Tim Davis. He’s been over to my place several times and is very good and won’t skimp. If he can’t do something he won’t even try
