  Testimonial By:Dave Sechrist of Erie CO  
  Testimonial:  
  I had what I thought would be an easy electrical fix, but I couldn't figure it out. Still learning about the new house.
Chris called me and suggested I try the GFCI's.
Chris suggested checking the basement or garage. I thought I checked them all, but I had missed the one in the basement.
It was very gracious of Chris to save me a service call charge.
Thanks Chris.

  Testimonial By:Kevin Kick  
  Testimonial:  
  Chris did a great job for us. Three things that are important to me are quality work, good pricing, and making sure my wife feels safe with a contractor in the home. Chris hit a home run on all three. Thanks for your work!

  Testimonial By:Matt & Janelle Mendez-Vanacore  
  Testimonial:  
  Chris is everything we were looking for in a professional. He took the time to walk us through what he was quoting and why he was quoting it that way. He earned our trust by providing timely communication around the quote and project timeline and arriving on time. He was very detailed and thorough with the work he performed and his clean up. He was extremely patient working around our young ones and he has a great personality! We'll be using him again for our next project!  
     
  Testimonial By:Melinda  
  Testimonial:  
  I would highly recommend Rakes Electric.
Chris is very professional, friendly, courteous and an extremely competent individual. He was also very understanding and accommodating of my work and home schedule. Once the project was underway, he kept me well-informed throughout the entire process. He has proven to be exceedingly reliable, completing the scope of work in an efficient and timely manner. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Chris should I have any future electrical projects.
 
     
  Testimonial By:Anne  
  Testimonial:  
  Chris is a total professional. A welcome and stark contrast to other contract-type professionals I've had provide estimates or do work. Chris showed up on time, was friendly, answered questions, completed the work on time and within the estimate. He was in communication with me throughout the entire process (scheduling with xcel, getting permits, etc.).

  Testimonial By:Emmy in Lafayette, CO  
  Testimonial:  
  Chris Rakes came highly recommended to me from a family friend. He is the only electric that I call because he is always available, fair and personable. As an electrical wiring layperson, I completely trust his judgment and professionalism.

  Chris Rakes answers: " Yes. "  
 
 
  Melinda Helmer asked:" My outside plugs will not work. I've checked my breaker box and all the breakers seem to be in the on position. Please help "  
  Chris Rakes answers: " All the outlets on the outside of the house are required to be G.F.C.I.(ground fault circuit interrupting) protected. You will have a gfci outlet in your garage or basement (typically), which has probably tripped. If you push the reset button all the outside outlets should come back on. If this does not help please call "
