What Annandale homeowners are saying
A 5★ average rating from 6 verified reviews.
Ryan always does an outstanding job at anything he’s every done for us. Fair pricing and explanations of what he is doing and why is reassuring. Use Sarah and Family, you will not regret it.
The work, as always, was amazing.
Ryan repaired a faulty socket in one of our hanging pendant lights in the kitchen. He also upgraded 11 recessed ceiling lights in our kitchen ceiling. As always, his work was thorough and first-rate! He is the only Electrician we have used for the past five years or so. We (my wife and I) highly recommend Sarah and Family Electric for any electrical needs you may have. You cannot go wrong and you will not regret hiring this company.
Ryan texted when he was on his way and he arrived when anticipated. He replaced the ceiling fans in my bedrooms and replaced the two lights on my deck. He had to work with the wiring - the house was built in the 40s so there is always some anticipation on what he will find. He put stuff back and did not leave a mess. On a scale of 1-5 I give him a 100!!!!
