Why people call John

Older houses and the jobs others won't finish

Older and trickier homes are John's specialty. Period homes with wiring from several eras, solid walls, tight roof spaces and faults that keep coming back. When another electrician hasn't been able to finish a job, John's answer is simple: he'll come and have a look, and he's sure he'll be able to help.

He works for himself, so the person who quotes is the person who does the work. On bigger jobs he can bring on other electricians to get it done on time.
