Our house is from the 70s and had some aluminum wiring. Colman Electric pigtailed the connections with copper at every outlet. Huge safety improvement. Peace of mind.

Needed some recessed lights put in the living room. Colman Electric did a solid job - they were neat about the drywall and cleaned up after. Took about half a day.
