I don't know if I could write a review that is enough to say how much these guys mean to me. Being a customer not used to dealing with more than one big project with my mom's home (Reroof in 2022 was the first), I am not well-versed in things like most out there when it comes to hiring contractors. We needed a service panel upgrade from 100 Amp to 200 Amp.
Gene, the owner of Genius Electric & Cabling from DAY ONE has been there for myself and my family for my mom's project. The guy is just fantastic, professional, yet personable and friendly. The very beginning, during my quote requests on here he has been upfront about what to expect where the rest of those whom responded either ignored my request for an "on-site quote" to give a real evaluation and estimate rather than just a canned one. He let me know about needing SCE to come out to approve the panel location (it would be in the same spot as the old one, but is still required), the other hopeful contractor that came out made zero mention of this, nor permits and was pushing me to give him the job for the following Saturday (three days after I started getting quotes). Red flag. Thank God Gene was there. He does not hard sell. He does not sit in judgment of how your house might look. He makes you comfortable, he gives you information and he allows you time to decide if you are comfortable with having his company do the work.
We agreed with his quote, not the cheapest and not the most expensive. Believe me, the openness and honesty from Gene and the vibe the guy gave me was more than enough for me to consider him & his company.
Gene had Cristian and Troy show up to start the project, working outside and under the house (Sorry, Troy! lol) Both guys impressed me with their friendliness and work ethic. They stayed until that panel was in and the lights were back on for us. Likely hungry and possibly getting wife aggro (Thanks guys).
Rains of course slowed some things down, that happens, soon as the timing window opened for them to complete the job, Cristian (if I am misspelling your name, blame Gene it's his spelling he gave me before you guys came out lol) and Jordan showed up to complete the work yesterday and came by today to wait for the inspector.
Genius came through and got it done. We just had our inspection with the city and I heard the inspector say "perfect!" Awesome! Now I can finally take a nap & relax lol.
My experience with Genius Electric, Gene and the guys I would NOT hesitate at all to refer them to my friends and family or you, the reader of this review. Just remember, treat others as you want to be treated. These guys are great guys and will do whatever they can to make the experience as easy for you as possible.
Thanks again, Gene, Cristian, Troy & JP! read more
