Lou was at our new house twice to change out fans, move outlet boxes and ceiling lights. Making an appointment was easy. He was on time on both occasions and did an outstanding job. He is very professional and knowledgeable. He was neat and made sure he removed all old lights, fans and boxes. We have more electrical needs once the painters finish and will request Lou. I highly recommend May Electric.

I had some minor problems to be corrected on a house that I was selling. They were prompt, professional, and fairly priced. I will definitely call on them again when I need an electrician.

We recently had several small(ish) projects done by May Electric. Mark came out to the house and took the time to look at all of the work and listen to exactly what I wanted. He also took the time to explain what could be done and how long it would take. Once all of our lights and fans had arrived, they immediately got started. Jeff and Jimmy handled all of the work and tackled some difficult issues without missing a step.
They took the time to think through the problems so there was minimal damage to walls and ceilings. They also took great care inside the house and cleaned everything up after each day. The cost of the project was quite reasonable compared to other electrical work we had done during some earlier remodeling. I've been extremely pleased with everyone I've dealt with and the results. I highly recommend May Electric and will be using them again for our upcoming outside lighting project.

Professional and courteous. I've used them to install 2 new switches and fix some outdoor wiring at my house. I will be having them come back for another small job at my home shortly. Highly recommend.
