Cannot recommend Jesse highly enough. We lost all the power in our lights circuit so we were completely in the dark. He came and saw us late afternoon and was very thorough. He explained everything and was very transparent. His people skills, knowledge and customer service was outstanding! Problem got resolved promptly. If you want a high integrity electrician give Smalls Electrical a call!
