Dino came to install potlights in our condo (in shower & hallway) and a new dimmer switch. Due to our layout this wasn't straight forward but Dino did an amazing job with the install and connecting them to the switches we wanted.
The bathroom was a clean install job with a new shower light connected to a new dimmer switch. The hallway light was more complicated as we wanted it controlled by a switch on a different wall, Dino took the time to explain that he'd need to cut out drywall for this to work and even gave us an alternative option to avoid any drywall cutting. I didn't mind fixing the drywall afterward so he went ahead with our original request. After this was done he even reattached the cut drywall so there's only some plastering left for me to do. It was also clear that he kept the drywall cutting to a minimum, I'm sure another electrician would have made many more holes for this to work.
He's extremely friendly and great to talk to. It was clear that he paid attention to his work and treated our place as if it was his own home. He also went out of his way to fix other problems that wasn't part of the original request such as replacing a faulty switch, removing a broken wall light and installing a plastic cap while we get the light fixed or replaced.
I highly recommend Dino and I'll definitely he contacting him again for future work.

Wiring in a condo is more difficult than wood construction homes. The ceiling is always concrete so some requests such as relocating a ceiling light box is not possible without cutting concrete(which may not be allowed because of structurally compromising the building structure). But there is an alternative. Boxes can be relocated by using a product called wiremold. This is a product that is installed on the surface of the concrete like pipe work.
In this case I added slim panel LED over the bath tub and hallway of the residence by using the drywall drop ceiling.
Thank you for the opportunity to show my trade experience in your house.Dino Villani
