Small jobs for electrician - changing GPOs, isolating circuits

Highly recommend Nic. He did outstanding electrical work for us (installing 14 lights, 3 ceiling fans and 2 exhaust fans). He was punctual, friendly and did high-quality work. In particular, he helped us think through what we wanted (style, locations, product types etc.) and worked really well with the other two people we had onsite (flooring and painter). Thanks again Nic!!
