I had an external power line come loose from my home business. Other companies quoted me exorbitant amounts of money to fix. But Brother's came in and were honest, fair, and realistic. After all my struggles with other places, I learned from Brother's I actually did NOT need a full system replacement. I just needed help repairing what I had.

The techs spent sometime tracing the circuit to and found a defect in the connections in a ceiling junction box. All g…

Halfway through explaining what I am looking for Bob gets a disgusted look on his face, interrupts me and tells me that what I am telling him is illegal and against code (junction box in the ceiling that was put there by a previous electrician). I tried to keep explaining what I was actually asking for and …
