There weren't many reviews of Brian or Alpine Electric, so i was a little worried about hiring him. I shouldn't have been. He was referred to me by another contractor who assured me he was good, and he and his crew were outstanding.
1. Dust control--Brian goes overboard on protecting from any construction dust and debris. He made such a nice plastic vestibule with zippered door that I was almost tempted to leave it. Even though the area he was working in was not in use, he and his crew cleaned things up beautifully at every end of day.
2. Reliable--Brian came when he said he would, completed things in a timely manner and let me know his schedule ahead of time.
3. Not just an electrician--I ended up having Brian build some walls for us and his carpentry skills are impeccable. He has incredible attention to detail and a good eye for aesthetics. he recommended some improvements and I went with them. He doesn't leave things unfinished, and customer satisfaction is clearly a high priority.
4. Doesn't try to oversell--I had him look at some of our other electrical. He pointed somethings out, and fixed them, and said everything else looked fine.
5 Great crew--I don't love having a bunch of workers in my house, but Brian and his crew were great. They were very respectful, nice and helpful. I had them do a few extras and the billing was reasonable.
6. On budget--Brian gave me an accurate estimate and informed me of any additional charges before starting work.
I will definitely hire him for my next project.
