Default Electrician for Lots of Little Jobs?

We have lots of little jobs around the house that we need an electrician for. Installing ceiling fans, bathroom light fixtures. Under normal circumstances this is something we could do ourselves, but the rooms are not wired for electrical in the ceiling. Any electricians around who would take on such a small job? Also, we'd like an exhaust fan put in the bathroom. Not sure if that would be HVAC or an electrician.

Are we allowed to just drop names on here?

Not in this manner, no. Sorry (this is considered advertising).

Well if you have a smart phone handy, I would download the red beacon App from home depot. The app very easy to use.

First choose who you need to use. Carpenters, carpet cleaners, contractors, in your case Electrician, handyman, maids, movers,painters, plumbers, roofer, yard workers.

From there you are given the option to take photos and even make a short video about the project, telling them what you want done. You can even write short notes, to make sure the vender viewing it understands what you are requesting.

From there you unload the request and wait for a quote.

Let me tell you.... Its awesome. First of all, all the venders are background checked and interviewed by home-depot. The app is also great because it is a location based app. Meaning all the bids on your job well be local. Speaking of bids did i tell you how fast it was. I put in a job at 7:30pm and got a bid back with in 11 min of me making my request. 30 mins out I had 3. They also know there biding with each other so you can get a good deal. As a real estate agent, I need to have some what of team my clients can count on. I used this App to find an god awesome navy electrician to work on my house, and well recommend him for all my clients.

I would go on the Atlanta Better Business Bureau's website. You can find electricians on there as well as look up their ratings. It's probably the best way to find a reputable contractor, I think.
