 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely first-rate work from BW Henderson Electrical. Kane came out to quote and was clear and straight up about the scope, and when a variation came up mid-job it was sorted without any fuss.

The team installed multi-gang smart light switches, a new light fixture and several outlets including one outdoors — all of it tidy, precise and beautifully finished. Sharp, on time and top-notch quality. Highly recommended.
