I have had him to my current house and my previous home. He brings his excellent character to his business and gives you options to fit multiple price ranges. The best part is that he doesn't just go for what makes his business the most money, is that he wants what best fits your family needs!Posted on Cindy RysTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ben was excellent! He was contracted to install an electrical outlet for our new microwave, but in scoping the work he learned that not only did we need that electrical outlet installed, we needed wire pulled for the new stove to bring it all up to code. He explained what he needed to do, and then went to work. He ran into some unexpected additional work that needed to be done, and outdid himself in working around my work schedule to ensure the job was done efficiently, neatly and most importantly, safely! I am grateful to him for the time and effort he put into my new stove and microwave and would recommend him and Great Northern Electric for anyone who needs electrical work done. Thank you Ben!Posted on Eric WittenbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ben with GNE is the best!
