Any body know a good electrician that would give me a good price for some work at my house? I need 20 resessed can lights to be installed. Shouldnt be a huge job but I could really use the help. Thanks, Matt

Matt, I've worked with a very good electrician that works for Jacobson Electric during the day and on his own after hours and on weekends. He probably won't be the lowest price guy, but does excellant work and uses first rate materials. We had him install seven can lights in our kitchen and it was a fast clean job. I'm trying to contact him now for some more work around my place. I'll ask him if he goes to Aurora and PM you with his name and number.

Call Complete Home Contracting. The guy is Jesse Dunn. 630-518-2408. If it is a big enough job, it might be better for you to have him qoute you for the job instead of by the hour. BUT, I had him do a lot of odd jobs at my home for $40/hour, and he works pretty fast. If you can be flexible, he likes to fit jobs like this in between other bigger jobs he has, or when it is raining and he is stopped from other jobs for the weather. Tell him Greg Higgins sent you.

Matt, I would like to do it for you but I have a forged motor coming soon and you would have to pay for part of that, LOL, A good price is about 40.00 a can, It would be good to wait for some one to do it on the side as a fill in, Good luck and when is the next meet out by you?
