Then he showed up the same afternoon! After running through all our circuit boxes (that I recalled), he was stumped. He ran through and checked all our fuse boxes, connections, checked all nearby outlets, and then ran outside and found the last remaining circuit box outside which I had forgotten about. He ran through everything in the house, and also ended up switching out an old outlet that was too loose to plug anything into. Talk about persistent, efficient, and having the willingness to find and repair the problem. He's responsive, good at finding the problem, and not overcharging for his work. That's great service and expert work! Thanks JC!

He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain what he was doing.

His pricing was fair, his work was excellent, and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish. I highly recommend JC Alameda if you're looking for a reliable, skilled electrician!

Unfortunately that did not happen, as the electrical appliances in my kitchen had no power No hot coffee for me. Enter Alley Electric. The office was closed as this happened on a week-end. Their message said that they would contact me on Monday. They did. Julio came out to the house on Monday and after checking the circuit breaker box and doing some tests on the inside outlets, quickly solved the problem. Julio was pleasant, very professional and smart. The cost of his expertise was very reasonable and he could have found ways to increase the cost but he did not. Needless to say I am very impressed with Alley Electric and I do not impress easily. Alina, the woman who with whom I spoke, was as nice as she could be, and I appreciate this attitude, especially in today's world. Alley Electric is an independently owned business, and I firmly believe that we should support these businesses if they deserve to be supported, and this business definitely deserves it. They have glowing reviews from others too. Phone: 510-573-0427 Email: Alleyelectric@comcast.net
