I called James at 4:40 in the afternoon with a problem related to our circuit breaker in a very old home. He walked my husband and me through the issue until it was resolved. He was clear, kind and helpful!

Chuck Waldmann on James Holske Electrician

James did an amazing job with the lighting and electrical installation in my new shop. Very pleased with his work. He made sure I was comfortable with where the lights would go and went above and beyond to help me identify little things that really give my shop that wow factor.

James was wonderful! He started by helping me over the phone trying to diagnose the problem; he wanted to see if there was a simple solution that he could walk me through and save me the cost of an electrician. Once we knew I needed professional help he arrived quickly and charged me a *very* reasonable rate for the amount of time he was here. Once he discovered an issue with the wiring outside my house that the electric company needed to address he called them, got them to come ASAP, and stayed here longer than necessary on a weekend (no additional cost) to make sure there were no problems with their work. He was remarkably patient and answered all the questions my 8-year old asked him about the work he was doing and the work Eversource was doing. He is a very kind person who knows his stuff; I recommend him whole heartedly

James is awesome!!! I called him from Virginia for a client in the Boston area, I liked his kind tone on the phone from the start. He took the time to listen to me and he went out to the client's place of business a few days later. He successfully identified the issue and gave me careful instructions to pass onto the client to prevent the problem from reoccurring. This is why I love to deal with small companies over large corporations, you get that personal touch which results in overall better communication and service. Thank you so much and truly appreciate you James.

We didn’t find James, but he found us. Coincidentally, it was just when we needed him. We were looking to have our electrical outlets wired and breakers installed at our store, Bread ‘n Butter International Market. Within minutes of speaking with James, we were able to get an appointment scheduled within the same week. He was professional, knowledgeable, reasonably priced, and most of all, timely. He was able to have everything done and have our appliances working the same day and left the place just how he found it. No questions asked, we will be in contact with James for any electrical needs in the future. Great guy with a positive attitude!
