“Paul Finley has great technical skills and high degree of knowledge with a wide-ranging variety of electrical tasks. He is hard-working, reliable and trustworthy.

“Our last home required many major upgrades. One was the entire wiring throughout the house because it was original wired with aluminum which can be very dangerous. We went though the process of inquiries with many electrical contractors and felt most comfortable with Ed. Because of budgets and time to work through remodeling section by section Ed had to complete this project over the course of a few years and along the way there were many changes and additions such as our media closet to hide all components. We will hire Ed for all of our electrical jobs. He is fantastic to work with.”
