We can’t say enough great things about Tyler, owner of TJF Electric LLC. He has completed several major projects for us, and every experience has been exceptional from start to finish. Tyler managed the installation of our whole-house generator system flawlessly. It was a complex project that required coordination, planning, and precision — and he handled every detail with professionalism and expertise. The system works perfectly and gives us tremendous peace of mind. In addition, he installed multiple new electrical circuits in both our home and barn, ensuring everything was done safely, efficiently, and up to code. His attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship truly stand out. Another impressive project he tackled was upgrading the lighting in our log home — which presented some unique challenges. Tyler approached it thoughtfully and creatively, delivering beautiful results while preserving the character of our home. Tyler is knowledgeable, reliable, communicative, and clearly takes pride in his work. It’s rare to find a contractor who combines technical skill with such strong customer service. We highly recommend Tyler and TJF Electric LLC to anyone looking for high-quality electrical work done right the first time.Read more
