I'm so glad someone told me about this place. It's much closer than driving to other larger stores and they had plenty of stuff! I also can't say enough good things about every one who works here.

Considered bringing multiple lamps there for repair and getting a custom fixture made, but after two interactions with her (dropping off a lamp and picking it up), I will not return!

I also had several light fixtures that I needed to have installed, and he was able to get that done as well. I've also had Chris wire cable jack and outlet above my fireplace to be able to mount a TV, and also wire for and install sconces in my dining area. Chris is a fantastic communicator, which I value tremendously. I would very highly recommend Chris to anyone in the Greater Portland area who needs an electrician!
