In their own words, from Google, Yelp, HomeAdvisor and Nextdoor.
Walter and his company came highly recommended to me and I can see why. Not only was the work started and completed in a timely manner, the work that was performed was of the highest quality.
I had a fantastic experience with Innovative Electrical Services (IES), Inc. They installed a new EV charger at my home and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. …
Daniel did a great job on my dining room table light fixture. He was knowledgeable and let me ask questions and was patient. Walter made time for my project promptly. I would use them again.
A friendly and fast experience! They made sure to adjust and meet my schedule and completed a high quality job expeditiously. I would strongly recommend them and would feel fortunate to use them again.
I can recommend Walter. I own a construction company and he is a great sub.
It may seem odd to describe electrical work as beautiful, but that's precisely what Walter's work is--beautiful!
