What homeowners hired him for, and how it went
Living room outlet
Found a frayed wire behind an outlet that could have started a fire. On time, friendly, and explained each step as he went.

Arrived within two hours, replaced the outlet and cord, checked the dryer vent while he was there, and charged a fair price.
