TL;DR: Hire him, if you can catch him. :) He does good work, so he's busy! :)My wife and I just bought our first house in South Philly. We had a house inspection before the sale that pointed out some corrections needed. We have some loose plans to upgrade electrical outlets, add exterior lights, add a vestibule light, etc. I reached out to Justin by phone, and left a VM describing our needs. He got back to me the same day, and we arranged for him to walk through the house. I also sent him our inspector's report.He arrived and was so amiable and friendly, it was like we were being welcomed by the Mayor to South Philadelphia. :) He patiently walked with us as we told him what we needed, he offered options, and we discussed what we wanted. We also had a great conversation with him about South Philly living, and South Philly history! He gave us a proposal within a day - even though he has a busy schedule. His proposal was straightforward, and easy to read.We decided we needed to break up the work over several months, and prioritize some over others. He didn't bat an eye. He came by to do the work needed, and walked me through every step. He also took the time to introduce me to the existing electrical wiring, some of which dated back to the 1960s. He *really* knows what he is doing, and he does it by the book. He reduced the charge from the estimate to match the time he spent working! He was super conscious of doing tidy work, and following good safety practices.I would highly recommend Justin Tavella for all your electrical needs! :)
