"D&D Electric has become our go-to electrician service. We first worked with them a few years back when we had an issue and other contractors couldn't schedule us and D&D by contrast came out the next day and did quality work for a reasonable price and were friendly and personable throughout."

"Gary and Scott were fantastic to work with. They hung two large chandeliers in our home and made them look like perfection. The team didn't leave until we were 100% satisfied, making tweaks along the job."
