Report
These guys were extremely responsive and great to work with. Alex came out for our home inspection on short notice (in a crazy market) and gave us an estimate right away. Then as soon as we moved in a few weeks later, his team came and copalumed all of the aluminum wiring throughout our house and garage in under 2 days. They even got us in a week early due to a change in their schedule. As it turned out, the kitchen/living area were in better shape than expected, which meant they had a little extra time, and we had a little extra money in the budget.
So we asked them if they could go ahead and install ceiling fans on short notice while they were there, and they did! They also did a great job staying focused and cheerful even though my very outgoing 9-year-old kept showing up and asking them what they were doing while they were working. And we have so much more peace of mind knowing that our aluminum wiring isn't going to cause a fire. I would definitely recommend them!

I can't say enough good things about the folks at Aluminum Wire Repair, especially after seeing the inside of the outlets in my old house. Alex squeezed us in between other appointments to make us safe again. Sure you can pay less somewhere else, but after seeing what I saw today, you get what you pay for

Alex and team were amazing to work with and I'd highly recommend them. We bought a house with aluminum wiring that had been untouched since it was built, Alex and team took the time to explain the risks the wiring posed and the appropriate way to mitigate, then were very communicative and timely while working on our house.

I can't say enough great things about Alex, Bob, and Art. i bought a house built in the 60's with aluminum wiring and had them come through to make sure everything was ok. they recommended permanent mitigation with copalum in one level of the house and gave me a quote. they worked their schedule to fit my house in because it was vacant (putting their entire schedule into chaos just to take care of me), got everything done in a couple days (like 80 connections or something crazy), AND got it all done $1,000 below their quote. they did panel work, moved some outlets for me, and all of the copalum UNDER their quote. oh, and they guarantee their work with a lifetime warranty. they were responsive, delightful, and so very wonderful to work with the entire time. i'm so glad i chose them to do this work. i really can't thank them enough for how well they treated me and the quality of their work. if you have aluminum wiring, these are the guys to talk to about options to permanently mitigate it. they are absolutely worth the money. you won't find better aluminum wiring specialists.

My family is forever grateful for Alex, Bob and Art and the COPALUM full home aluminum wire remediation that they performed in March 2020. Since moving into our home and finding out that we had aluminum wiring, I had been unsettled. Anytime a light would flicker or dim I would have scary thoughts. Alex came prior to the job starting and gave an extremely thorough inspection and let us know what to expect.
Then when it came time to the work starting, my wife and I were blown away by the professionalism and expertise exhibited by Art and Bob (one of the co-owners). They were upfront with which areas were going to be needing to be worked on and allowed us to easily work around their jobs. They were able to run extension cords to ensure that we didn't lose power to important areas like internet as well.
My kids also loved them and they were so sweet when my kids would come watch the work or ask them questions. The work they did was thorough. I finally feel safe living in my house and no longer worry about the aluminum wire danger. I could not recommend this team more!
