We are very pleased with Phillip’s work. You’ve truly gone above and beyond to deliver what we had in mind for our front porch.
Terry did a nice job. More importantly my wife said, “He can come here any time.” Praise indeed!
Karen and her team of electricians are super responsive, very professional, and I love how they book an exact time and appointment with a follow-up confirmation text and email. I feel very confident in the quality of workmanship and know they will go out of their way to fix any electrical issues in my home!
The two guys from Bright Sparks arrived promptly as arranged. Took their outdoor boots off before making their way to the job - a nice touch . Efficient, pleasant; I could not have asked for more. When the invoice arrived I was also pleasantly surprised. Overall a good experience 10/10
I have always found Karen and her team at Bright Spark to be friendly, professional and reliable. Their quotes have been reasonably priced and provide a thorough breakdown of costs for replacements parts and labour. I highly recommend them.
