Very tidy and clean installation for my electric car charger. Kovi and his team are very professional and the attention to detail were very high. The whole process was thoroughly explained before the job and the method was the least destructive of all that were discussed with other companies I had received quotes from. Exceptional service from start to finish left me thoroughly impressed. I highly recommend their services.
