I called them early in the morning, and they took lots of notes, stating they would call me back for a visit that same afternoon. They never called me back. I called again to double-check, and a different person took my call and said she would not be able to locate my info and I would have to start again from scratch. I was disappointed. An acquaintance had recommended me the company; however, how can I trust their work if I can't trust their word? Shame. I really wanted to give them my service. I thanked the second attendant and discontinued the call. I felt invisible in my customer's needs. read more

I decided to go with a 220 line for my EV charger. Gary did the walk through and told me about my choices. Today, the electrician, Jeff, showed up promptly and worked diligently. He was friendly and polite, but the best part was the result... my electrical box looked like a work of art, each wire in the box was meticulously arranged and labeled. The resulting outlet was installed cleanly. Safe and careful work - I couldn't ask for more. Even the inspector was impressed. He said, "You make my job easy." Nice. read more

After a few summers of having my breaker continue to trip when it got hot, I called up Lee. I explained what was going on over the phone and sent him pictures. He said he'd come take a look and walk me through what was going on. He told me the cost up front, which was $510. This was the best money I've spent in a long time. He showed up with his assistant and walked me through his process for figuring out what was going on. What I liked best was that I'm very interested in what he was doing and he was more than happy to show me. Ultimately, over the years of heating and cooling, the screw clamps on the main electrical lines had loosened, causing a bad connection and tripping the breakers. He spent about an hour cleaning up and securing everything. He even fixed the metal cover plate which was missing a screw. Lee and his assistant are amazing and I would call them again in a heartbeat. read more

I contacted this electrical service about a week ago. They asked for all my information, but never responded.

I had a power surge and lost power partially to the house. It looks like one breaker went bad and couldn't be reset. Lee Sherwood of Frontline helped me over the phone, guiding me step-by-step to correctly reset the breaker. Best service, and free of charge. 5 stars! Li read more

I heard from Gary right away and he came out within a day to assess what we needed. I had saved a laundry list of issues before calling someone. Brett came out to fix what he could within a few days and then followed up the following week on what needed extra diagnosing. The bid came in lower and faster than expected and Brett and Austin were a great team tag teaming on that final conundrum! Highly recommend. read more

I had a problem with lights flickering/not working in the bathroom. They did a ballast bypass and it now works perfectly. They were prompt in getting back to me and Brett, the technician, worked quickly and explained everything. Great customer service. read more

We had purchased a brand new dryer and noticed that the dryer was not working. So we decided to call Frontline electrical. When Ricci arrived I was so pleased that he was ready to attack the problem. An hour he had the electrical problem fixed and Ricci had cleaned up and left no trace that he was ever there. He had to replace a circuit breaker and new wiring. Thank You Ricci read more

See all

Frontline electrical services was great. I had been told, by a plumber, our house was "sparking," it was unsafe for them and us and they said they were unable to snake the sewer clean out and that I needed to call an electrician. I got lucky and called Frontline. Lee was responsive, reassuring and provided the service needed in a timely manner to determine the house was safe to proceed. The plumber was wrong. read more

I can't speak to their work, but when I called about a problem, they got right back to me. They could have scheduled a visit and charged me for that. Instead, they solved the problem on the phone and charged me nothing. That's good business, and I'm calling Frontline the next time I need an electrician. read more

We needed several types of interior and landscaping electrical work at our home in Lafayette. Gary came out, scoped out our issues, and provided creative solutions for us to consider, with separate proposals for each project which were very helpful in enabling us to assess each project. We ended up proceeding. Brett was the service tech and did a great job following up, understanding our specific needs and patiently working us through the solutions which he then helped to implement. Great work all around. read more

I called on May 28th, 2025 @ 4:07pm to see if I could hire someone to install a new bathroom fan and do some other minor small electrical jobs such as installing a Combo USB & Electrical socket, replace the broken light switch etc.......BUT I could NOT get past the "stern" telephone operator who would not give straight or more relevant answers to my general questions. She wanted my contact info and have someone call me back. I asked when might I expect a callback, she said "as soon as possible". I then asked "would that be within the next hour or sometime today?She again responded with a "soon as possible". I politely asked her if I could get a possible window timeframe and again she responded with a "they will call you as soon as possible". She needs to "HEAR" the Customer and respond accordingly & Not repeat the same redundant answer. This was rude and I decided to take my business elsewhere. If this is her everyday "telephone etiquette" attitude, I'm sure her brash responses are turning away potential customers......smh read more

Wow, the main switch to my house looked like it had issues and Lee Sherwood of Frontline called me back to troubleshoot with me after hours and he was so helpful, and polite, and walked me thru how to properly reset the breaker. I highly recommend them just on the know how and willingness to help in a situation where I needed power restored to my home as soon as possible. read more

Installed a new Nema 1450 for an EV. John and Julius were on time and very professional. Gary also came out and provided an optimal solution for placement that was cost effective and made more sense and was very quick to respond with any questions. read more

We have used Frontline on a number of occasions for numerous electrical issues. Our house is 60 years old and has been remodeled numerous times. Frontline has managed to meet our needs every time and it hasn't always been easy. Our last electrician Brett was extremely experienced and creative with his recommendations. His work was met our needs and passed inspection with flying colors. Thank you Frontline! read more

I called Frontline Electric on 06/11/24 after experiencing power outage issues at my home. Soon after my initial call I received a call back from Lee, the owner of the company. He asked what kind of issues I was exactly facing and then began troubleshooting over the phone. Thanks to his advice he saved me quite a bit of money because I was able to restore my power at least temporarily for now until I replace a part but none the less he was there when I had exhausted all my options. I'll definitely be giving his business a call back if and when I have more electrical issues! Thank you Lee! read more

Frontline did a bunch of upgrades for us when we moved into our house. We are happy with the work! Big thanks to Julius, David, Choenyi, Austin, Ricky, Jinpa, and of course Lee. read more

I am a clinical over-analyzer. Even my therapist tells me this - I'm getting better! When the time came to upgrade our electrical panel and install new lighting outlets in our house, I combed through business listings before deciding to take a chance on Frontline. As a woman living with my mom, we are extremely bored of 'mansplaining' from largely male contractors. I am managing the renovation of my parents' home after my dad's sudden death and am more than capable of understanding wiring systems, amperage, and what overloading a system means. Gary was the kindest, most respectful person who showed up for an estimate. He stuck around for about 30 minutes going through the house, asking questions, and even tolerating our cat's harassment. He's a really good person, and that matters a lot to me in an era where everyone seems to feel entitled to being an asshole, even when they're in someone else's home. The guys who did the work were equally polite, funny, and good-natured. Whatever Frontline is doing to keep morale high, please keep it up. Reasonable cost and a job well done were just icing on the cake. Any time I need more work, I'll be calling Gary and Frontline. Thanks for being human beings in a time where we all could use a lot more of that! read more

Despite their business profile stating they do outdoor lighting, and security lighting they do not work with RING products.

Another successful service from Frontline. Brett did a great job working with our fifty year old outdoor lighting and replacing an equally ancient hardwired fixture inside the house. Thanks to you all! read more

Problems with driveway lighting. Excellent, creative solutions. Value for money was inarguably great. Would recommend to any friend, or any stranger for that matter. Quickly figured out our ancient low-voltage lighting system. read more

I called Frontiline Electrical Services thinking I had a very serious and costly problem on my hands. Lee was extremely responsive and helped me troubleshoot the situation over the phone and determined my issue was not in my house, but with PG&E. He patiently spent at least 15 minutes on the phone with me for free and could have easily just scheduled an appointment and made some money. This is the type of person I would give business to any day. I will be recommending him to all of my friends and certainly know who I will call when I need help with electrical issues. read more

This review is a few months late, but I just want to start off with saying there are not enough words to express how thankful I am for Lee and his whole team at Frontline Electrical Services. We had an unfortunate event a few months ago where PG&E had blown our breaker box while they were replacing a transformer on our street. This caused our electricity to go out in our whole house. We initially called a different electrical company (NOT Frontline) who assessed the damages and after saying they would help us, they stopped all communication prolonging our electricity getting fixed. So after 3 days, I got online searching for another electrical company and found Frontline Electrical. I called and spoke with Lee. I explained our situation and he immediately understood the seriousness of the situation. We had absolutely NO electricity for about 4 days by the time I spoke with Lee. All of our food had gone bad, and not to mention we have 3 small kids, one that was a 7 month old baby. This was a huge repair that needed to be done ASAP, but because I was dealing with PG&E, it made matters more complicated. It seemed as if one hand was blaming the other hand, but Lee was an extremely knowledgeable electrician and was able to pinpoint to me who he thought was at fault based off where/how the fire happened on our breaker box. There was extreme miscommunication with PG&E which caused Lee and his team to have to complete the work TWICE. Both times, they were fast and efficient at getting the job done. Without going into too much detail of my extremely complicated situation, I will say that every time I spoke with Lee, he immediately started ordering parts and scheduling work to be done right away. He truly cared that my entire family was out of our home for almost a whole month. As a stay at home mom, I can't tell you how grateful I am for him and his company. I would recommend them 1000%! read more

We just had Frontline do major work replacing many, many fixtures and doing repairs on others plus fixing plugs and checking others plus checking our panels in our 75 Year old house. Their fees were definitely reasonable given the complexity of the work. We cannot praise Ricci, Tenszin and Julius enough for their excellent work and their totally professional and courteous manner. They were always on time and happy to answer questions. They left a spotless workplace. We really think this the best electrical company we have ever used.

We unknowingly drove over our car charger cord and pulled it out of the box late in the day. I called to ask for a quote and was told I would get a call back soon. I got a call within minutes from Lee Sherwood and he said he would have someone call between 7:30 and 8:00 the next morning and sure enough by 9:00 an electrician was at our door. He was very polite and efficient and reconnected the cord within an hour or so. Unfortunately it turned out that the box had been damaged and though there was electricity coming through it wouldn't charge. It was a big expense for a not positive outcome but Frontline did the job they promised and it was not their fault. We would definitely call them again and refer them to others. read more

The owner Lee Sherwood and one of his electricians "Ricci" were fantastic! From the moment I met Lee, I knew we were in good hands that would help us recover from such a serious failure in one of the jaws behind our PG&E Smart Meter. Lee immediately recognized the issue and knew how to fix it. He and Ricci went above and beyond to coordinate with PG&E to de-energize and re-energize our home and were able to obtain the necessary parts to complete the repair in record time. They helped us avoid a much more difficult and expensive situation that could have led to having to replace our entire meter and breaker box which we could not afford to do. Ricci also upgraded our our main and secondary breaker boxes providing us assurance we will be safe from loose connections and old and outdated breakers. I highly recommend this company as they have the expertise and are professional, friendly, and kind. Lee's level of customer service is unsurpassed! I wish we encountered more people in the world like these men that are out to do the very best work for their customers! Thank you very many much, Lee and Ricci! read more

They replaced the wires on my roof where the power enters the house because the wire insulation was worn due to decades of exposure to the sun and the elements. It was easy to get ahold of Gary both before and after the job to answer my questions. I would recommend them for future work. read more

Julia did my Tesla wall connector installation in the garage. He was great! Took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, discussed options, and executed a great, clean install which works perfectly. Very happy with the results! read more

Lucky us to have found Frontline! Our business was in need of a large electrical and CAT6 (Ethernet) run in our large, 40ft ceiling warehouse. Ricci, Jeffrey, and Austin came out and fully handled the project. It was such a relief for us to have not only competent electricians, but also friendly and professional ones. Despite several hiccups beyond our control (and beyond theirs) they persisted and did it all with a smile. Thanks, guys!! read more

After a windy day the power went out for my dryer and kitchen lights. I'm a new home owner and am trying to fix one problem after another. The next day the AC wouldn't work too. Oooof. I flipped the breaker switches but couldn't figure it out. I got on Yelp to find electricians and frontline came up first. Gave them a call, the info and the lady said someone should get back to me hopefully today. The electrician Lee called within 3 minutes of hanging up the phone. He walked me through the process of checking everything, found the problem and fixed it for free!!! Amazing!! Highly recommend giving them a call. L read more

OK...so you look through these reviews and, glowing or negative, they don't seem to be helpful, or even real. So here is a helpful and real one... Just call Lee. He and his technicians know what they're doing, the price is fair, and he'll get you in and out of the mysterious world of home electrical with your sanity and good humor intact. read more

Ricci and his team did a great job on our recessed lighting install. It was a quality job and we are very pleased! read more

Frontline provided quality work at a reasonable price. they were on time and worked neatly and quickly. Much appreciated.

All I can say is WOW! Lee is amazing! The breaker for our AC kept tripping, I called after hours on Memorial Day. Explained my issue and he broke it down for me on what would need to be fixed and helped me figure out financially if I should pay the extra for an after-hours appt or not. Next day he helped us out, remind you it was 106 that day and he helped us get our electricity up and running so our AC would work. I could not recommend this company more. It's nice to know there are still quality people and servicemen in the world. I won't have anyone else service our AC or electrical issues besides them going forward. read more

RICCI and JUAN did a 10 star job!!! I now have 4 high powered appliances running at the same time without tripping the breaker!!!! Before the service, my lights would go out when I ran two appliances. Now I run three and the lights are still on! I highly recommend them. Very friendly. Very punctual and respectful. Good down to earth people and trustworthy. read more

Our circuit kept breaking at our home in Oakland causing half of our lights and appliances to go off and on for days. We tried calling other electricians in the area but was met with short "we are not available." Then we found Frontline on Yelp. First of all, 24/7 service line is unheard of and amazing. I gave Frontline a call around 6:30am, and got a quick call back from Lee around 7am. He was able to diagnose the problem over the call after taking a look at our electrical panel pictures. He told me our zipcode was out of his service area but might be able to accomodate given our frustrating situation. Within the hour, we got a call back from Lee confirming he'll send someone out at 9am. (All this happen within 2-3 hours before normal business hours!) The electrician came right on time (a bit early!), quickly worked on the issue and we now have our power back! Lee went out of his way to make sure we got the help we needed and was very transparent about the pricing. read more

I had the very best experience with Frontline Electrical Services. My Pool Equipment electric power failed and was diagnosed to have a break in the line. As this utility was initially installed back in 1999 at the same time the pool and extensive patio were installed covering the buried line. So it was difficult to identify where the probable rust in the metal conduit had occurred. Choenyi and Jeff installed a new line, cost effectively routing from one side of the house to the other all within the same day fixing that issue. That evening I noticed landscape lights did not come on so called Frontline and Ricci came to check out why. He identified the problem as a tripped GFCI outlet which would not reset, but was not broken. Ricci diagnosed that my Aqualink Control box Program was controlling when electric power was sent to the GFCI unit and as I had tried to reset outside of the program hours that is why it failed. Ricci wasn't a pool control board expert but he taught me more about how it worked than anyone! Lee Sherwood is the owner of this company and he ensures great customer service, he called and emailed me directly to make sure I was satisfied. Professional, prompt, skilled work at a great value, I will definitely use them again. read more

Lee is the best! Gave great advice and provided fast and great install!! I highly recommend frontline for all your electric needs!

Had our bathroom remodeled. There was an electrical issue in our bathroom aftee the fact. Bad worksmanship by the remodel person for sure. However, I called Frontline to assess and fix the issue. Electricity coming through the shower handle! Lee from Frontline sounded very concerned for us. He said he considered it an emergency and would call us as soon as he could find a technician. Didn't get a phone call. I had to call and remind him. Awesome, he sends a technician the next day. Back on track. Technician comes in, assesses. Believes it may be because the pipes weren't grounded. Frontline comes back to ground the pipes. They leave a mess of my wall where they cut the hole. Thats minor. I can fix that. Long phone call with Lee afterward as he explains they did not actually fix the problem. But they took $1300 of my money for a service that didn't fix the problem. I thought this was a sever issue, an emergency. Sounds like they just wanted my money. Lee also offered to come into the bathroom and trouble shoot over the phone with the guy that did the work. When it came time to make an appointment, he reneged and said a phone call from the bathroom would suffice. No follow up phone call. Lee dropped off the face of the earth. I guess the issue was only an emergency when money was at stake. Thanks for nothing. Spent $1300 and didn't get anything fixed. I want my money back. Small claims court may be the way to go. read more

The day before Thanksgiving, at 3:30 pm, we lost the electricity in our kitchen, dining room and family room. We had guests coming the next day and I had little hope of getting my problem resolved before Thanksgiving Day. I called Frontline and Mandy answered the phone. After some very thorough questioning she told me they would try to help despite the time frame. A few minutes later, Debbie called with the same outstanding problem determination skills and said they would see if they could find someone to help that late in the day. Two hours later the problem was resolved and Thanksgiving was saved for our family thanks to the skills of Lee and the women who took my call. Highly recommend this company. read more
