I messaged the next day to confirm he got the photos. Silence. A few days later, I tried again, asking him to let me know if he was no longer interested in the job. Again, silence. Getting ghosted by someone you're trying to give work to is really weird. Is taking 45 seconds to send a brief reply, even if it's "Sorry, can't do it," too much to ask???

I trusted my gut and by looking at his pics and reviews everything checked out. I wanted someone who could come thru fast and he absolutely delivered. He got on the phone right away and I explained to him the issue and texted him directions. He promptly drove down to Home Depot and got the parts fast. He got to work right away and was cool enough to chat with my Dad and I while he installed a new ballast kit for my garage since the old lights finally gave out the other night. He's been in the trades for almost a decade he said and it showed. I was kinda shocked when he said he was only 30 because he's pretty mature for his age. He's also super sharp, fast and efficient but most importantly, he's just a solid, nice guy. He grew up here and, after hearing his story of how he started working at a really young age to help support his family while finishing school and then persevering many years here in the trade union to now developing his own business, is honestly inspirational. My Dad couldn't stop talking to him after he was done, which is a really good sign of a job well done lol. He was kind enough to stay till almost dark and look at other home repairs that need to be done on the main house eventually. This guy seriously does it all, and if he doesn't, he could probably figure it out. He's the kind of guy you want to be dealing with whether it's installing electrical or repairing something around the house. It's great that we found an electrician that not only shows up fast and gets the job done but, most importantly, someone the old man likes and can actually trust! Thanks again, Isaiah!

And then they wired the range so the wire didn't allow us to push the range back all the way. Dumb. We have solar with batteries, and even after we told them what should be hooked up to the batteries if the power goes out, they got it wrong. And some other issues that didn't make sense.

Scott and I walked the house, I told him what I needed, and on January 20, 2025, sent him the plans. Initially, he said he had them; then I heard nothing more. He did not respond to texts or phone calls, I even taped a written request to contact me. I finally found him at his business, he said he would send me an estimate I then heard nothing for 3 weeks. In many texts, I asked him just to tell me if he was too busy. Today, I went to his business at 6:30 am, and asked him if wanted to do it. He told me I could "get in line" but it would be a long, long time If he had just responded to my texts, I could have found a new electrician and not have my house sit u touched since January.

Just as other reviews have stated, he's great. Ignore the one negative Yelp review listed,, "Don't tell him anything,,,he cause family rift". That neg Review makes no sense, because Handyman is there to fix your house, not a bartender to vent your family secrets. (LOL)
