I can't overstate how impressed I am with Paul (owner) and his work. I have elderly parents who needed 2 kitchen ballasts replaced. All contractors that I contacted were booked and couldn't do it. Paul made an effort to squeeze them in and showed up the next day. He was there when he said he would be, was great to work with, and did a great job. And the best thing is he made my parents very happy. Oh..and he was reasonably priced. A big double thumbs up! read more

Paul and Tim did a fantastic job with the electrical job I hired them for at my house in Tacoma. They communicated well, were knowledgeable and thorough. I plan to utilize them for future jobs. read more

I have used different electricians in the area before and usually it is difficult to get them to come out right away, or get ideas about estimated cost. Paul actually answered my call himself and he was at our house in Federal Way in 1 hour after the call on the same day, got the job done quickly within 1 hour. I liked the fact that he was very upfront with me about his rates on the phone before coming out. Thank you Paul for the job well done. read more

My husband interacted with the electrician. He was impressed with their work and knowledge. He said he took the time to show and explain to him the cause of the electrical problem. The cost appears to be reasonable (can't say for sure because only have two others to compare with and one was asking for more and one came with a free consultation). Dependable charged for consultation. However, he did the work and was neat. Plus, he provided the outlet covers. He also guarantees he work. My husband liked him! read more

Paul is a good dude that was really willing to help and answer questions to figure out what we needed to fix our circuit breaker problem and made time in his schedule to fix it the next day. Awesome. read more

I've used Paul for many projects. Very helpful, honest, and keeps you info every step of the way. Thumbs up

Thank you, Paul Spinosa! I was introduced to Paul last year when I needed an honest and reliable electrician for my clients. He did an outstanding job, they were extremely happy with his work and service. I have been using him ever since in my real estate business. When my husband and I opened up our own business (Epic Donuts), we called upon Paul to assist us. We continue to work with him for all our needs and couldn't have a better electrician upon whom to depend. Just yesterday, we had an electrical emergency and Paul was there to correct the problem within the hour - right before a holiday weekend! This man is outstanding and we proudly refer him. Thanks, Paul, for being so awesome! read more

I set up an appt for an estimate at my rental. Paul showed up 20 mins early to my tenant's door. She asked him to wait until I arrived so he did go to his truck and wait. Due to a road being blocked off and having to take a detour I was 15 mins late. Paul came back at the actual appt time and was very pushy with my tenant and refused to wait until I was there. Luckily he was still there when I arrived. He didn't explain much to me since he already explained things to my tenant. He gave me some prices and we parted ways. Later he called me and told me a lower price and also told me he's not that hard up for work because he stays busy. No thank you, would never hire this guy. read more

Great communication, came and did his work, came back to do it even better, and will definately use again.

I couldn't be happier with the service I got from Paul! His communication, professionalism and quality of work were outstanding. He completed the work earlier and for a little bit less than his estimate. The inspector even commented on how impressed he was with the quality of work. I would highly recommend Paul! read more

Great guy. Explained what needed to be done clearly and did the work needed a lot faster than I thought it would be. He even took the time to take a look at something else I would like to have done so I could get an estimate. I would definitely call again the next time I have electrical problems. read more

Paul is the best. His prices are reasonable and he is dependable, but most important is he gives you all the facts so you can make the decision that works best for you. His work is great and he cleans up like he was never even there. I will gladly contact Paul again if I need electrical work. read more

I needed someone to troubleshoot a ceiling fan problem. Paul showed up on time and ready to work. He was able to figure out the problem right away and installed a new ceiling fan quickly and efficiently. His price was average for a licensed and bonded contractor. I would use him again if I need professional electrical work done. Thank you Paul! read more

Paul is fantastic. I had him come out to do some work in my 100 year old house and I could not be more impressed. He's incredibly knowledgeable, kind, professional, and fast. I have a toddler and a couple dogs and he made sure to keep the gates shut behind him whenever he went up/down stairs or outside. When the city inspector showed up the following week, the first thing she told me was that he is hands down the best electrician in Tacoma. read more

I have worked with numerous contractors over the years in both my professional career and with the homes I have owned. Paul Spinosa is one of the best and most honest contractors I have ever worked with. He gave us a bid for adding security cameras and lightning to the outside of our house. At the end, he actually came in under his original bid. When he showed up, he worked through the day and even worked through his lunch hour. He walked me through exactly what he was doing and gave his suggestions. But ultimately he left it up to me to make the final decisions. He followed code and made sure that we would pass inspection. He takes pride in his work and it shows. Each day, he swept up the scraps left behind from his work and left a clean work site. There is no doubt that I will use his services for all of my families electrical needs. read more

I had a longstanding and very frustrating issue with the GFCI in my garage tripping, despite multiple attempts at troubleshooting shooting the issue on my own for months-it continued to happen. I called Dependable Electric LLC, and talked to Paul (the owner). He was amazing over the telephone helping me try and diagnose the problem. I was very lucky to be able to fit in-between appointments that he had the next day. He was able to diagnose several reasons why my GFCI was faulting, fix them, as well as optimize my electrical system so that I would not run into the same hair pulling problems in the future. He was professional, courteous, EXTREMELY knowledgeable, and at a very fair price. It is so hard to find a good & trustworthy electrician, and I'm happy to have found him. Paul really knows his stuff, and I wish more businesses were like his...it would make home ownership so much easier having guys like him when we encounter a problem beyond the DIY/YouTube phase. I would give him 10 stars if I could! Thank you so much Paul! read more

I've used Paul at Dependable Electric twice now. He has become my go-to guy for any home electrical issue. Luckily for me, both times turned out to be fairly simple fixes, but still beyond my skill level. Not only did he fix them, but he also educated me, which I appreciate. Compared to others that I've used in the past, his prices are more than reasonable. I'm planning a major upgrade in the future, and Paul will be the first person I call. read more

After moving to Washington from another state, we called Paul to add some outlets inside our house and add some circuits to complete an unfinished basement. When you're new in town, you never know what you're going to get when you hire someone. Paul did a great job, worked neat and clean, and is also a very nice guy and easy to work with. He'll be our first call next time we need electrical work. read more

Paul, the owner of Dependable Electric, LLC , came out to my house to rewire the fuse box and found a few more items that weren't expected to be amiss. He literally saved me thousands of dollars and I'm sure days, if not weeks of time before an impending move!!! He gave me great advice, was very kind when I followed him to and fro and asked a million questions about what he was doing. I think the nicest, and I mean, nicest person to come work on my little old house ever. Clean, respectful, timely, pleasant, patient and I really must mention, very affordable. I'd recommend him and Dependable Electric, LLC to anyone! A very, very nice businessman!!! * I had my electrical work done in May 2015 and moved later that month to CA. I apologize for waiting so long to put this review on Yelp. You know that Paul is an impressive contractor (*and licensed one too), when I still want to rave about him months later! Thanks Paul! read more

I called to ask some probing questions about GU24 recessed light receptacles and installing pendant lamps in their place, he was very nice and helpful and offered many suggestions and even had me go to my electric panel to answer some questions for him to better help me. He gave me some estimates, offered some alternatives, and even said to get a few more estimates. Will definitely star this company in my book for the future. read more

Who likes emergency electrical issues -- NOT ME! Paul answered my questions on the phone and walked me through what I should expect. He was scheduled for the next few days, but then he had a cancellation and came out the day after my original call (which was after 4pm). Paul was very nice and found and fixed the problem. The cost was less than I had feared and less than his original estimate. My husband and I are going to use him again when we do some remodeling. Great work. read more

I needed a new circuit, some outlets, and a florescent ceiling light installed in my garage. I received estimates from several electricians; however, Paul was by far the most professional. He was the only one who didn't try to give me an estimate over the phone; he actually came over and talked me though what he would do if I contracted with him. I was impressed by his professionalism, appearance, and the care he took to explain exactly what needed to be done. I would defiantly contract with him again in the future. read more

I needed an electrician....I called Paul and was satisfied totally. Communication was excellent, work was explained and fixed in a timely manner...plus he is a local guy which is a plus in my book. His rates were reasonable and he will be the first one I call when I have additional electrical projects. Thanks again Paul read more

The Plug and Receptacle for our Clothes Dryer had burnt up. Called Dependable Electric and Paul was here in no time flat. Just like with Jaime Z., Paul demonstrated integrity and kept me informed throughout the repair. He worked quickly and efficiently and was totally honest with the bill. Dependable Electric provided me a great value and quality job. read more

5 stars does not even begin to adequately rate the level of service and workmanship that Paul provides. I was painting my entry way and noticed the junction box that the chandelier was connected to was beginning to come through the ceiling. After MANY phone calls to MANY electrical businesses, Paul was the ONLY electrician that cared enough about the safety issue I was having to make room in his schedule to help me out. He showed up right on time, he wore shoe covers (WOW!!) and immediately got to work fixing the junction box. He explained to me exactly how he was going to do the repair, including how he would reinforce the box. What a relief to know that it was going to be fixed correctly! He also shortened the chain for me (an aesthetic change) which had been bugging me since the house was built. Paul also fixed a sconce that was improperly installed when the house was built. I was only hoping for an estimate on this, and then scheduling a future appointment to get the work done. But Paul kindly did the repair right then and there so no future appointments were needed. I cannot say enough GREAT things about Paul - I highly recommend him. He is courteous, dependable, professional, thorough, knowledgable, polite, and friendly. His rates are reasonable and he informs the customer of this before doing any work. Look no further. Paul is the BEST. read more

I highly recommend Dependable Electric to anyone looking for great service and a very knowledgable individual in Paul. We had an electrical issue in our upstairs bathroom, none of our lights nor ceiling fan would work. I looked up some companies on Yelp as the first one we called was not able to have anyone take a look until June! Paul answered right away and I described the problem to him and he was familiar with what we could be dealing with. He said that he would try to fit me in today but was not completely sure. I said that it was not urgent and if he could fit me in that would be great. I got a call from him a couple hours later telling me that he could be over in 30 minutes! Amazing. He quickly diagnosed the issue and less than an hour later, we were back in business. He has great attention to detail and kept me informed on everything he was doing. Couldn't be happier! Thanks Paul!!! read more

again Paul made a potentially anxious electrician service so ez and relaxed from start to finish! we needed a chandelier hung and when we called him he was booked out forever duh but fit us in at the butcrack early of morn prolly before his regular work day was going to start ( remembering that we were previous clients) and installed it ez pz no drama in less then an hour which kept the cost very competitive and went on his way. we love that he tells us only what we need to know and other then that he just works away not eating up valuable time. his professionalism and friendly service is just cake! thanks Paul! read more
