Very experienced electrician of over 15 years. Seen it all. Installed VERY challenging 2-pipe system-based thermostat. Evaluated bathroom ventilation system options. Provided useful advise on other projects in home without selling services. Installed two fans and track-lighting super-fast. Ken is a problem solver and approaches all situations with consideration for implications, cost on homeowner, and long-term value. Cleans up throughout process. The Best.

HomeAdvisor steered me to Ken Brown, of Proactive Prevention. I was seeking help for a very basic project. Embarrassingly simple DVD hookup dilemma actually. Mr. Brown solved the "problem" in about two minutes. I was so impressed with his professionalism and tact, I asked him to look at a vestibule light that's been out of commission for years. Ken went right to work, rewiring this old fixture that really represented a huge safety issue. Ken had it up and running in a short time, and the price was quite reasonable. His range of skills is beyond impressive. Five stars all-around. He's a gem, and I will be in touch with him soon to knock more items off the "honey-do" list. Thank you Ken!

Ken was great! We needed a handyman to install a tv on a wall in my daughter's new apartment, hide the wires, hook up the cable, etc.I called ahead of time because we weren't sure what size tv & wall mount would work best. He was willing to make the two trips that were necessary...first to make some decisions & then to complete the work. He was very responsive & did a great job! Ladies, this is SO much easier than the "honey do" list that somehow never gets done! We plan to use Ken often!

They approached the job with honesty and courtesy, and they cleaned up after themselves and I would highly recommend them.

We hired Ken to hang a large quantity and variety of art, posters, guitars, memorabilia in our large office space on 2 floors. He responded immediately, came same day for an estimate, quoted a very reasonable price, and was able to complete the project 2 days later. We'll definitely use Ken and Proactive Prevention again!

Ken listened, was very professional, charged fair price for the job, completed the project expeditiously and was thorough! I plan on hiring him as a handyman. I also plan on recommending him to neighbors and friends!

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
