★★★★★
Our 1962 house still had the original fuse box. Ray walked me through the 200-amp upgrade on a whiteboard, pulled the permit the same week, and the inspector signed off without a single correction. The panel is so clean it looks framed. The close-out email with photos and the typed breaker directory is the most professional thing a contractor has ever sent me.
★★★★★
Three other companies quoted me an EV charger without asking a single question. Alder asked what car, what commute, which garage wall — then talked me into the cheaper of two options because my panel could handle it. Flawless through two winters now, and my brother-in-law got the same treatment last month.
★★★★★
Lights flickered in half the house for a year. Two handymen replaced switches and shrugged. Dana found it in ninety minutes — a failing neutral at the meter — and had it fixed the same day with the utility coordinated and everything documented. Worth every cent of the diagnostic fee, which they folded into the repair anyway.
A failing neutral is sneaky and genuinely dangerous — glad you kept pushing for a real answer, Sam.
★★★★★
The windstorm in November took our power for four days in 2021, so we finally did the standby generator. Alder handled the whole thing — pad, gas coordination, transfer switch, county inspection. When the grid dropped this January, the generator picked the house up in eleven seconds. My freezer full of elk has never been safer.
★★★★★
Kitchen remodel lighting: recessed cans, under-cabinet strips, and two pendants over the island. Dana sketched the layers on paper before quoting, and the dimmers don’t buzz — which I now understand is a thing you have to earn. The crew swept the floor twice. Twice!
★★★★☆
Quality of the panel work: ten out of ten, inspector said as much. Docking a star because the original visit had to be rescheduled when their emergency queue blew up after a storm. Carrie called before the window opened, which I appreciated, but I did burn a vacation morning.
Fair, Paul. Storm weeks wreck the board and no-power homes jump the line. Thanks for letting us make it right the following Tuesday.
★★★★★
Bought a 1948 fixer on the north side. Alder’s pre-purchase inspection found knob-and-tube behind two walls the seller’s disclosure missed, priced the remediation on the spot, and my agent used the report to knock a chunk off the price. The inspection paid for itself fifty times over.
★★★★★
Sunday night, half the house dead, breaker wouldn’t reset. The emergency line was answered by Ray himself, who talked me through checking two things and then came out anyway when the second one looked wrong. Found a cooked wire nut in a junction box from a previous owner’s DIY. Fixed, photographed, invoiced at exactly the after-hours rate he quoted on the phone.
★★★★★
We’re slowly renovating a 1910 craftsman and Alder has done four projects for us now. Same crew every time, same standard every time. Marcus labeled our ancient fuse subpanel just because it bothered him. When we sell this house, the binder of Alder close-out emails is going on the kitchen counter next to the disclosure forms.
