I can't say enough good things about Barrett. He absolutely knocked it out of the park. From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, professional, and honestly way better than I expected when dealing with electrical work. He installed GFI outlets, repaired and upgraded my circuit breaker for my EV charger, and converted my garage outlet into a proper high-voltage setup for charging--and everything was done flawlessly. You can tell right away that he knows exactly what he's doing. He took the time to explain the work in a way that actually made sense, didn't cut corners, and made sure everything was up to code and safe. What really stood out was his attention to detail and pride in his work. The install looks clean, organized, and professionally done--not rushed or sloppy like you sometimes see. He also showed up on time, communicated clearly, and kept everything tidy, which I really appreciated. If you're looking for an electrician who is reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about doing the job right, Barrett is your guy. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again for anything electrical. Highly recommend. read more

Writing for my Grandma who doesn't have Yelp: "Barrett of B&M Electrical arrived on time, was knowledgeable, and quickly identified our problem. We would recommend to family and friends." read more

Barret was responsive, punctual, and efficient. He quickly assessed the issue, presented a few options, and completed the repair in about 30 minutes. I'm very pleased with the service and will be contacting him again for future projects, including installing ceiling fans in bedrooms without existing overhead fixtures. read more

I had several small projects that Barrett took care of perfectly. I had smart doorbell, smart camera, light fixtures changed around the house. He was punctual, gave a fair price for the amount of work done and was able to take care of everything the same day. I am happy with the work that he did and I would recommend him for any needs that you have. read more

Barrett was right on time. Quick response, great communication. Excellent customer service. Work provided was to service the circuit breaker box. Reasonable prices. Highly recommend. read more

BEST SERVICE EVER! Barrot is just amazing and is so great at what he does. Will be requesting their service anytime I have another electrical issue. read more

Requested their service on line on a Sunday and was immediately contacted and had an appointment for Monday morning. A vehicle ran over a jbox in the yard and required a box replacement as well as replacing underground conduit. Fixed the same day better than new. Very satisfied read more

Kevin ran wire and installed a second floor ceiling box and light fixture. Very professional. So far B&M is batting 1000. Recommend.

I rarely write negative reviews. I like the building up of people but here we are. You should read negative review RESPONSES. See how "professional" he is to those who disagree with him or provide negative feedback. He calls a Vet (a person who served our country) a coward and other disgraceful things. He demeans people by insinuating they are poor and that he will "help them" financially. Just disgraceful responses and furthermore proving unprofessional behavior. I was reaching out and created a project where multiple companies/ businesses can let me know their availability/ pricing etc. I was texting with the owner, Barrett. I accidentally provided my personal email stating that was my "fun" email and I IMMEDIATELY provided a secondary email I use for business and said that would be better and apologized for giving him the "fun" email address. Right after that exchange, we had scheduled a time and 2 hours prior. He even said he would correct the email and that was that. See screenshot. Thereafter, an hour prior to his scheduled arrival, his wife sent me a text canceling, insinuating I was looking for something else or wasn't serious because I ACCIDENTALLY provided my "fun" email. I'm happily married for over 20 years. I can assure you I'm not soliciting anything but electric work for my family home. To suggest otherwise is very unprofessional. I'm not sure if it's this is a wife being insecure over literally NOTHING because I just wanted someone to look at the 2 walls that don't have power or plain unprofessionalism, but either way anyone who conducts business this way will not find success. Homeowners know other homeowners and before yelp or Angie's list we ask each other who we've worked with or our experience with companies in the area. I hope you two can find better ways of communicating with potential/ actual customers. Mainly Mariela who was rude and unprofessional and insinuated something so laughable yet so crude and demeaning. Afterwards, she said I was unprofessional yet I'm not the one running a business and I felt my exchange was above board. I don't want to assume Mariela is a jealous or insecure person but I clarified an error and they tried to make it seem like a salacious exchange. I don't like my character being called into question. I hope that you examine your online behavior especially where there is a misunderstanding or disagreement so you can meet people with respect and not be dismissive, condescending, disrespectful and yes, UNPROFESSIONAL. I attached screenshots of the exchanges that support my statements. I never sent any inappropriate messages besides what is stated here about being 1) jealous/ insecure 2) unprofessional. And for using the word "fun" apparently while correcting and providing a business email. And yes. I blocked them because they're pestering me by sending me messages and wanting to defend their reprehensible reasoning for questioning the character of a stranger into question. Not me. And you should NEVER post anyone's personal information in retaliation. Best wishes and in Barrett's words, "God bless" read more

Barrett and Isiah to the rescue! Right away they figured out what was wrong(a DIY mishap) and fixed it! They were very professional abd5 explained everything. I will definitely hire them again! read more

Its a disgusting shame to be berrated by this person simply for trying to get a quote for basic light fixtures. You are not doing me a favor just by talking to me. I wasn't rude I was direct. As a disabled person I don't have time to waste with people who can't understand basic english in context. And I will also say this sending harassing message to tell me how disrespected you were is a crime. I hung up because speaking to you was obviously a waste of time. There are hundreds of contractors out there. Save yourself the BS and contact anyone else. read more

The owner kept pressuring me to sign up for the service. His price was extremely overpriced and just felt like a dealership with his "if I leave, you won't get the same price" when I told him I needed to get different quotes. I got a certified, bonded, and insured electrician to do the work for 1/3 of the price. Would not recommend. read more

Highly recommend!! I ended up getting my Rivian EV delivered a lot earlier than expected. Barret got back to me immediately, and actually ended up coming out that very evening to give me my quote in person. Gave me a really good price and said he could get one of his electrician's out the very next morning. His guy was very prompt and got the whole wall charger installed in less than 2 hours and it looked very well done. He even swept up after himself and tidy up after himself. He was very personable and did great work. Was super positive experience with B&M Electrical and loved getting the job done very quickly, just sorry my review took a few weeks to get done! read more

I needed a new 240v outlet installed for an induction range. Barret was very responsive from the beginning when I sent my request. The initial quote was very reasonable, and the final cost was exactly on the dot. During the installation process Barret and his assistant were very communicative of what they were going to do with the specs I gave. The result was clean and I could tell good quality parts were used. I'm planning to use Barret again for other projects. read more

Umm. Wow. Barry is a proud business owner. Let me respond to that wildly unprofessional response: 1. I shook your hand because, at the time, I was unaware of how easily this job could have been done by someone more qualified. I thought what you had done, would be what any great electrician would have done. 2. Who bleeps out coward? We're both adults and after what I went through in the Middle East (aka OEF), I find your comment unfounded, "libel [and] pretty low considering how you" know I'm a veteran. 3. If I had buyer's remorse, I'd have attempted to get the work undone or a refund from Amex if you wouldn't. Instead, I called yet another electrician costing more money to fix it. That's commitment Sir. 4. My mistake about the car. It's a wicked S5. Still sends the wrong message Sir. 5. To your advice on unplugging anything...Let me be clear. As a lay person I consider the 'cord' one piece. When I said 'pulled on the cord to unplug' I am really meaning this: The electrician removed the cord by unplugging it safely. Lastly, I hope that in the future you don't try to play the Tough Guy with every person you do business with... It's not a good look or business model. read more

B&M Electrical Services - This is a professional's behavior. - Electricians Near Me - Acton, California

Hello, I cannot thank Barrett and his staff, Daniel enough for coming to our home in La Crescenta as an after-hours job!!! Daniel was so professional and nice. Daniel immediately diagnosed the problem and fixed the issue!! I am beyond happy to recommend B&M Electrical Services. Thank you Barrett and Daniel. Dawn and Mike McDivitt read more

Barrett called me right away, and I was able to set up a same day appointment. I had spoken to multiple folks before him, but unlike the others, he gave me a really good energy vibe, so I went with my gut and his company. He wasn't the least expensive, but it's not always about the cheapest price. You do, after all, get what you pay for, plus I'm REALLY big on stellar customer service and no BS. Geo came out and did the install in less than an hour (my home was already EV charger ready). Now I can charge at home, saving me a ton of time and money, and it was worth every penny! I have some other projects to get done in the near future, and Barrett will be my first choice. Thank you, Barrett and Geo! read more

I can't recommend these guys enough! I needed some cabinet under lights put up as well as a redo of the switches controlling all of the lights in my kitchen and dining area. Barrett came over right away and was able to give me a fantastic quote as well as start the work the next day. He sent a superstar, Jesus, who was friendly and wonderfully qualified. He is dog friendly and answered all of my questions. He did a spectacular job and I will be using this company again for any of my electrical needs. PS. I saw reviews here on Yelp that disparaged this company and I can assure you that the experience that I got was nothing but professional and respectful. And if you wonder if they are licensed and bonded- see the attached picture. read more

Rapid response, gave us an honest opinion. House is almost 50 years old ( mom lives there alone) and there were constant outage issues. Used hair dryer, no hall lights, use microwave, no coffee machine etc. Would go,outside and reset the breakers till they shut down again. Anyone with access to internet would not be surprised that we needed a new box. Barrett was great, he gave us an estimate, explained what he thought was wrong, and explained what he thought was best solution. No attempt at oversell, in fact he mentioned more expensive options and then explained why he didn't think we needed those options. Just a real comfortable discussion about what was needed and how to get it done. We agreed on what work was needed, he scheduled the date ( only hold up was him needing to get parts and materials needed ) to get it done. He answered all our questions. Two days later mom has something she hasn't had for a long time! A real pro from beginning to end. You may decide not use him, but you should definitely call him. Thanks Barrett! . read more

Be careful when using this guy because he is not honest. He came and told me there was a problem with the fuse on my breaker but there wasn't. He charged me 575 to flip the switch on my breaker system. He's a liar and takes advantage of women. Don't use him he will rob you. read more

. He would tell you that they only use quality brand materials like ABB but installs a different brand. This guy is nice in the beggining of the deal/conversation but when theyre done/completed the work he turns out to be rude and unavailable. He said he has no record of me and they only keep receipt up to 2 years...lol read more

What a day in the neighborhood. I was looking to have an EV charging unit installed in my garage. I decided to hire Barrett from B&M Electrical Services because he was the most affordable. I'm recently widowed and need to save Pennies when I can. That saying goes "you get what you paid for", and this is what happened to me. Santa Clarita requires that all licensed contractors need to pull a permit to install EV charging unit. Barrett did not pull a permit. Barrett came out to do an assessment and he looked at my panel and made no mention that it was old. He took the job, he placed the unit, took my cash and when we noticed we did not have power, he took no action to help me. He bailed on me. I'm trying to get receipt from him. There are ethical electricians whom came to my rescue. Barrett: before you decide to put a charging unit in someone's home, please school yourself what the city requirements are. read more

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. My mom needed a unit installed to charge her Tesla. Someone came out, only wanted cash, and then LEFT US WITH NO ELECTRICITY. While he was installing, some of the power went out in our house. I figured it was him turning off the electricity so he could work. Once he was finished, he was leaving and I asked, "when will the power come back on?" This is when he stated he never turned the power off and he never touched any of that stuff. Unfortunately I had to leave to take my son to school so I couldn't help my mom deal with him. He left our house stating he did nothing wrong and that was it. Well one of our brakers is now scorched. We have to get another electrician to come in and fix the whole panel. Now I understand if things happen, he didn't mean to do something, an error was made or whatever, but these people are doubling down saying they had nothing to do with our electricity and breaker. This must be one epic coincidence cuz wow. We tried to get them to come out and look at it again to see if they can do anything but they don't want to come out and the owners wife even called me a nasty name after I tried to get her to listen to me. We're not looking for any kind of come up, we just want our electricity fixed. These peoples customer service is horrendous. I implore you to find a different electrician. This is one thing you want to spend money on and not be cheap. Did I mention he would only take cash? Shady. Just responding to your comment-yeah maybe this could've happened with or without you but the way you and your wife have handled this is terrible. The reputable electrician who just came out here said that you didn't even do basic electrical work. And now you want to respond to me on a Yelp review?? After we've been calling and texting you and you not responding there?? Get out of here with this BS. Don't do it yall, DO NOT HIRE HIM. SHADIER THAN A TREE. An awesome electrician was just out here and he was great, he fixed it thankfully. He answered our questions and was very thorough. Not like this guy who claimed to not have done anything wrong and then peaced out. Leaving me and my family with no electricity. read more

Never followed up and took our $175 payment. Never called back and didn't complete project.

Wow, what an outstanding job! After reading other reviews, I feel like these guys haven't been given a fair chance. They recently came to set up an EV charger for me and the work they did was top-notch. Right from the initial consultation, Barrett was punctual and treated my father with the utmost respect. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend B & M to anyone and I'll definitely be reaching out to them again in the future. read more

I called him and he was at my house right away. The only reason that I didn't give him 5 stars was that the 15-20 minutes cost me $200. At least If he would have told the minimum I would have had option of saying saying yes or no. read more

Barrett came out same day and provided a quote. Also, pricing was super competitive. The best part is he completed the job the same day (on a saturday). This was for install an outside EV plug in 14-50 nema outlet. He also fixed some issues a previous electrician messed up. read more

Amazing communication and overall work! Put out a request this morning to add 2 outlets in my garage to 2 separate new breakers for some woodworking tools. They responded within a couple minutes, said they were able to come out late afternoon and after agreeing to the work, started immediately. They were done in less than an hour. Will definitely reach out again for some additional work I have in mind in the future. read more

Talk about quick response and availability. I received a reply within minutes of requesting a quote through Yelp. My wife called to Speak with Barrett to set up an appointment as I was on another call. The appointment was able to be set up for the same morning which was perfect due to having new appliances delivered the same day. I called back and spoke to Barrett some more and I was able to figure out what the issue was. I appreciated being able to talk to someone who knows what they are talking about and I am going to keep this contact info for all future projects read more

Completely unreliable and unprofessional. They cancelled on me TWICE last minute. First it was an emergency then their van broke down. When I confronted them about this, they threatened me.

AVOID!! NO, SERIOUSLY! HORRIFICALLY GASLIT AND RUDE for no reason, I am SHAKING from pure shock and incredible discomfort after Barrett just left I hardly EVER write reviews let alone negative ones but this was UNREAL I'd been shopping around for electricians to replace a burnt outlet and had narrowed down the ones I was considering going with to 2 companeis, this being one of them. Barrett had explained a different course of action than was the general consensus, which obviously stuck out to me, so I wanted to hear him out and go over what we'd be doing. He gave me a rough estimate and some options on the phone but said he could do a free estimate to get a more concrete idea. Next day he's at my house, I showed him the outlet in question, and he kept repeating the same options he already told me on the phone -- that was not why I had him come. We agreed to get a concrete estimate from him (not just a rough one on the phone) by taking a quick look at the outlet / inside / the breaker to know just how bad, if that, it was. (This was a common thing almost everybody else I spoke to also offered as well.) He was there for a whopping 1-3 mintues MAX. I was polite, heard him out, and went on to ask a genuine question about why we couldn't consider the other method I'd been told countless times, to which he questioned why I questioned him. I said I just wanted to undersetand, in case everybody else had been giving me the run around and perhaps Barrett was the only one being honest, again -- this is why he intrigued me and stood out. Instead of answering, he just repeated the same options as before. I asked my question again, then he suddenly changed his entire demeanor and body language to that of someone offended or uncomfortable and wanting to suddenly leave, repeating that he's given me his options and that he doesn't have "hours" to "debate" with me -- to which I said of course, neither do I, that we've only spent a couple minutes together so far (literally), and to rest assure I'm not debating, just trying to understand this one thing. Never in my LIFE have I encountered any "professional" who immediately created a scene and state that he's leaving all because of a to-be-expected customer question... what the..? As I walked him off the property, I tried again to politely explain and reassure him the above, and like a broken record he repeated the same things about not having time to debate, how he gave me his options, and now he's leaving which made me feel so incredibly GASLIT, so uncomfortable and CONFUSED, as if I'd done something wrong. Barrett is a gaslighting king. B&M don't even try to counter this review. If you didn't know, a customer is ALLOWED to ask a genuine question if they're going to be spending hundreds of dollars on you, without you taking it so massively personal and get so incredibly offended by it as if they'd done some awful. Do you know how strange and wildly manipulative that is? You just want customers who don't ask anything and are willing to throw money at you just like that? This screams SCAM. I have never felt so genuinely uncomfortable and confused, I'm glad I slammed the door on your way out. You are absolutely HORRIBLE. read more

Timely and fair pricing. I like he provides us the quote prior to work. Staff are friendly.

Barrett and his team are super knowledgeable, work quickly, guarantee their work and offer fair pricing. They are communicative and even showed up a bit early! They installed a new ceiling fan, replaced a couple of outdoor lights and replaced a faulty fireplace switch in about 90 minutes. We already are planning to have them come back to fix some more things. Highly recommend them! read more

Very friendly, came quickly, and saved me money with their suggestion. Would use B&M again!

Great service from B&M Electrical services! I called, and they picked up and got to my repairs within 24hrs to have some dimmer switches installed. He and his partner did it in no time. The more challenging was the broken electrical box of an outlet that got replaced without damaging the drywall! Great knowledgeable guys. I applaud his work and his support of others who are growing in the field. I will definitely be working with them in the future. read more

Barrett responded to my service request quickly and professionally, and had decent availability which was great since I was in a bit of a time crunch. I really appreciated how responsive he was. Barrett arrived a few minutes early and was considerate enough to text me with an ETA. He completed the installation of a GFCI outlet in my master bath quickly with no issues. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others who are looking for a competent electrician. read more

I had B&M upgrade my interior garage lights, troubleshoot and fix an outside lamp, and demo 7 outside lights along my fence. Their response time was excellent, they came out same day, quoted a fair price, and got the work done same day. Tony (the electrician) was friendly and knowledgeable. I'll definitely use them again! read more

Barrett is the man! One day I noticed my power was wont working in the house so I called and spoke with Barrett on the phone as I found him on yelp. The man had good ratings so I decided to give him a try. He came by and as soon as he opened the panel it literally blew up and almost injured the man. I felt sooo bad but luckily he wasn't hurt. If he hadn't come that day who knows my house would have burned down. Long story short, the cause was due to my main panel only being 125amps and not providing enough power so it over exhausted. Barrett gave me a good quote to replace the panel to a 200amp but of course I wanted to avoid spending anything out of pocket. Barrett was patient and generous enough to help me call and explain the situation to my home warranty company and home insurance. Unfortunately, this was not covered. I was left with no choice but to pay myself. Barrett was very comforting and went out of his way to drive 45 min to be able to find the new panel parts and returned the next day and got my panel installed. Barrett and his wife are excellent team. Barrett is very knowledgeable and patient and went out of his way to help me as he was very understanding of the situation. His plaster/drywall paint contact Antonio and his partner were awesome. They were able to get the wall back to normal after the wall had to be cut up around the old panel. After everything was done it was like nothing ever happened. They clean up afterwards too which is a plus. I recommend Barrett and Antonio. read more
