We recently purchased a home that needed all of its old knob and tube wiring replaced. Dave was quick to respond to our request and came out promptly for an initial inspection and estimate. Paul was the electrician who completed the work, and he was outstanding, professional, communicative, and incredibly careful with our home. He laid down floor coverings, kept everything tidy, and made sure the work area was spotless each day. Originally, we thought the project might require opening up walls to access the wiring, but to our surprise and relief, Paul was able to complete the entire job without any wall openings! The quality of the work and attention to detail exceeded our expectations. We already have a few future projects in mind and will definitely be calling Granite Electric again. Excellent service from start to finish! read more

Great job in all ways - clear communication, quality work, professional and friendly associates, and good prices compared to the other quotes I had gathered. They added circuits for a new electric oven and new induction stovetop, built out a whole new lighting and outlet system in our garage, and installed lots of new overhead lights for us. Great work. read more

I hired Granite Electric to replace all the old wiring in an SF condominium, installing some new outlets and circuits as well. The job was in a tenant-occupied unit and had to start and finish right on time, to allow the total job (including all of the patching and painting of walls and ceilings) to finish during a window of time when the resident was away. Dave and his team were fantastic, and started and finished the complex job right on schedule. A shout out to the project lead, Ezra, who was equally great at communicating and resolving the inevitable issues that come up along the way. Of course, the work passed its city inspections on the first attempt; these folks know their stuff. I am relieved to have no more hundred-year-old wiring in my condo, and am happy I chose Granite Electric. Dave is a man of his word and I appreciate that very much. read more

Purchased a plug-in hybrid EV car, and needed to install a level 2 charger for my car. After a couple quotes went with Dave and Granite Electric and could not be happier. Extremely impressed with how clean the runs were.They managed to get much of my cable inside of the walls. This avoided extra conduit on the side of my house. The craftsmanship and work was top-notch. The box looks extremely clean with the install. Would highly recommend these folks to install your charger and do your electrical work. read more

Granite Electric - Extremely clean run. Avoided using conduit on the outside of the house. - Lighting Fixtures & Equipment Near Me

Really happy with their work and their style! We needed a 240V car charger and a couple of other little tasks. Dave came to do the estimate and was quick and smart... and a lot of fun. Price was right. The pair who did the work were also quite nice and got things done in the lower end of the time estimate and exactly as desired. I'll definitely use them next time. read more

I appreciated the quick response from Richard re: my project and questions. He acknowledged the work involved, and was upfront with cost. Dave was scheduled to complete the work, and turned out to be great to work with! He was thoughtful and analytical, asking smart questions as we walked through the garage as end users before starting work. (This was refreshingly different from other vendors I had previously met with). He was friendly, professional, and efficient throughout the job. I absolutely recommend Granite Electric in a heartbeat! read more

See all

We needed some light fixtures replaced and a plug that did not work. He was on time, explained what he were doing and very pleasant to deal with. Excellent prices. Would highly recommend Granite Electric. read more

Granite Just installed a couple of outlets and did a great job! Highly recommend if you need any electrical needs!

These guys were knowledgeable and responsive to my needs. They took care of a potentially unsafe electrical issue for me at a reasonable price. read more

Richard and his team (Ezra) did a great job of running new lines and installing a new 240v/50A outlet from my main electrical panel to my garage so that I could plug in an SVSE for our EV. He charged a fair and reasonable price. Given that I have a house built in the 1950s with a lot of "deferred maintenance" on my part, there were a few "bumps in the road" that arose after the installation. However, Rich was responsive and helped me resolve my issues. I truly appreciate his responsiveness, especially since I don't know anything about household electrical issues. read more

Love these guys. Truly old school customer service, the kind of which is unfortunately dying out. Called Granite for a quote to replace some halogen can lights with LEDs. Rich was terrific, and asked all the right questions to be able to do a quote via text (versus having to come visit during a pandemic). Rich also estimated for if the work took less effort, or if he encountered more significant issues, to help me manage our budget. We scheduled the work for a day mutually convenient to both of us (and WFH, I can be flexible on when someone arrives). Rich kept me updated about his planned arrival. Rich had a mask, gloves, pad, etc. and was willing to work with the doors and windows open (for air flow). He was in and out within an hour, kept to the quote and we now have lovely LED lights which will last for years! read more

Wonderful team, responsive, stick to their estimate and they do great work. Hire them!

We've used Granite Electric to add electrical outlets for power tools for and to wire up an electric kiln. Rich is professional, experienced, and does excellent work. read more

Really pleasant to work with: Professional, prompt, clean, efficient. They were able to minimize damage to existing plastering! Tx guys june read more

Unfortunately we never had an opportunity to use this business. On two separate occasions the communication was subpar. We left a message for a first job a couple months ago and never heard back. Fast forward a couple months for a separate job we left a message and actually received a phone call back. This time we were asked if we would be home on a specific day and if they were in the area they would call us to let us know they were stopping by. I never heard back one way or the other. I guess this business doesn't use appointments? read more

Granite rewired our whole house during a renovation and we were beyond impressed! Their whole team was great and very easy to work with. If you're bidding out electrical work save yourself some time as both the price and quality are excellent. read more

Our street has used Granite Electric for years.....Rich (owner) is very responsive. From re-wiring our electrical panel, to adding additional outlets throughout the home. Rich's employees are very friendly, fast, efficient and accommodating. Rich is HONEST and reliable. If he is busy, his company is worth the wait. (we used Dave DeMarco, WireWorks in Pacifica - not knowing his license was suspended - he does a terrible half-ass job...we will never use WireWorks, Dave DeMarco again). read more

For starters, they were 20% lower than the other four companies to give me an estimate, and even included some hardware (security lights) that none of the other companies included - They were great! They were also responsive, with Christine getting back to me consistently and quickly. Paul, the guy who actually came and did the work was on time, knowledgeable, friendly, professional, effective, well organized, and he cleaned up everything after he finished. I couldn't ask for more - their service was outstanding! If I have any problems in the future I'll absolutely have Granite Electric back to do the work. Thank you Paul and Granite Electric! read more

Granite Electric provides stellar customer service. Rich is very communicative and thoroughly answers my questions. Dave and Paul were a pleasure to have in my home, which is saying a lot as my husband and I were both working at home while they re-wired throughout our home. I especially appreciated how respectful to our space they were and how clean they tried to leave everything. Also, they were friendly to my kids, including my 2 year old who kept trying to scare/play with them. We had a few electricians come through and give bids - one was very close in pricing as Granite's, but we felt most comfortable with Rich during the initial consultations. We're glad we went with Granite - our kids already miss them! read more

Granite Electric is the BEST!!! We have used their expertise on 3 different homes that we own and they have always provided timely and professional service! From upgrading our old house with new electrical, bringing the second home up to code and replacing every light, fan, switches and plugs (inside & out) in our new home, they were perfect and charge reasonable rates. They are neat and clean up before they leave, which is much appreciated! I HIGHLY recommend Richard and Rafael!!! read more

I called and got an answering machine message on Monday February 5, I left a message asking for a quote to get my heater wired so I could install a smart thermostat. Today is Monday, February, 12, no call back to my inquiry. The least they could have done was to call back. At this point I don't know if my job was too small or if they are on vacation or what...The courtesy of a reply would be helpful. I left my name and number twice on the voice mail. So much for the wonderful reviews I read from Nextdoor. I hope this helps the next person. read more

Almost don't want to review as I'd like to keep them a secret! Dave came out to help my client with her new home and talked through all the possible options for updating the electrical. He was a wealth of information and we really appreciated his knowledge! read more

Great customer service and knowledge! I had new panels put in at two of my properties. They were very through and have very good prices. I highly recommend them! read more

Well here we are again. Extolling the virtues of granite electric. They have never let us down! Yesterday Paul was here to help with a dilemma no handyman could solve. Power off only in 1 room. Fixed Gfci plugs but immediately shorted out as before. Then Paul came from granite. went above to the attic below to the crawl space. Finally installed a new line from box to bypass failing sockets. Wow. Router in: check. Tv. Check. Lamps etc. check. Dishwasher check! Nobody could figure this out! All done with patience, grace and good humor. Great guy excellent work. Thanks as always to Rich, owner of granite electric. Don't waste time! Call this company!!! read more

Granite Electric is the best. They helped me - at no cost - to get PG&E to diagnose and repair a major problem with the electrical service to my house. I had them convert my old fuse box to breakers and I also have had them run electrical service to my backyard. Just recently, I wanted to replace the track lights in my house. Rich reviewed the order prepared by City Lights and pointed out where City Lights had omitted certain necessary parts. Granite then installed the new lights - and, with an old house - that included dealing with a missing junction box and some other 'old house' issues. The bill was extremely reasonable!

I am a landscape contractor and I call Rich any time we have clients that need exterior outlets or lighting done that we can't do. Rich and staff are professional, reasonably priced, and easy to work with. I highly recommend them. read more

I had a great experience with Granite Electric! Richard Shafer was on time, very pleasant, and extremely reasonably priced. He fixed the electrical problem in my heater in a timely fashion and made me feel comfortable the whole time (as a woman alone that is a huge plus). I highly recommend Granite Electric for any electrical needs. They are professional, courteous, and very reasonable. read more

We've been working with Granite Electric for several years and everything they've done has been top notch. They did the electric work on the installation of our central heating/cooling, installed recessed lighting throughout our entire house, installed a bathroom fan, new porch light and doorbell. Everyone that works for Granite is extremely polite, professional and efficient. They respond quickly and do excellent work. I can not recommend them enough. read more

After a total job disaster done by Everlast Construction, Pleasant Hill, CA, we were referred to Granite Electric by PG&E. Monique was a pleasure to work with and the company employees were able to correct the job so that it could pass both PG&E and the city inspections. Everyone we dealt with in the company was responsive and after our bad experience with Everlast, this was like a breath of fresh air. They helped us out of a bad place and restored our faith in a contractor. read more

Granite is awesome! They are very professional and do great work. We've used them 4 times to add electrical outlets inside and out, install outdoor lights, update switches, replace a thermostat and hang new fixtures. I've worked with several different electricians from Granite and they were all great. All their work is clean and everything they've done works perfect. read more

Great work replacing our downstairs electrical panel, which was 50 years old. Replacement breakers became impossible to find. They did the panel replacement promptly and efficiently, and cleaned up thoroughly afterwards. They tried hard to keep costs down, and charged a very fair price for what turned out to be an all-day job. We were pleased with their honesty and professional attitude, and will hire them again when we need electrical work done. For those reasons and because it's a small company they get busy at times, but for me waiting a week around the holidays was not a big surprise. Our problem was not that serious anyway, just made it hard to use the clothes dryer. With the new panel the dryer is back to its usual self and we're glad we found a quality electrician with fair prices. read more

I have used Granite now for multiple home and business projects and they are just terrific. A superior level of expertise and customer service and so pleasant to deal with. I have never thrown a challenge at them that they could not figure out and deliver the best possible result for what is always a fair price. read more

What a GREAT company and GREAT people! We needed to have a few recessed lights installed in our wine room and have a switch moved so contacted Granite Electric. Monique came out right away and gave us a very reasonable quote. The next week the work was done and we are very happy. No mess and everything looks great. To top it off, they are so honest that we received an email saying the job took less time than expected and they wanted to give us a partial refund or help us more on the project! We thought the price was right so did not not want to receive anything back. I cannot recall ever having a company do this and was very impressed! We highlyt recommend Granite Electric and will certainly call them again for any electrical work. Super nice people and excellent quality workmanship. read more

I've called Granite twice, for two unrelated electrical problems. Both times, they came at the time scheduled, did the work, were cordial, and charged reasonable prices. One time they fixed the fuse outside the house and the other time they fixed an outlet that had burned out. It makes me feel good to know I have someone reliable to call on for electrical help, because I live in an old house and I know nothing about electrical stuff. read more

I am an extremely finicky homeowner who contacted Rich Schafer to fix some complex electrical problems from an existing remodel in a condominium.For example,I wanted 2 new recessed lights added to a dark corner in a kitchen but did not want the ceiling damaged in any way!Other contractors told me it could not be done.However,the creative and problem solving team at Granite Electric got the job done in a professional, punctual and efficient manner.They were meticulous in their work and in their clean up each day.On top of that,when I contacted Rich because I wanted a light that they had installed readjusted ever so slightly[ that nobody but myself would probably ever notice],he cheerfully came over and did the job.He also installed a dimmer for a set of lights they had installed and did not charge me.WOW!!!! read more

I am a homeowner doing a lot of my own work on my kitchen remodel. I did the electrical work myself, and ended up rewiring my whole house. Richard Shafer advised me on this project, helping me understand the San Francisco electrical codes and how to implement the wiring correctly. He was a great help, always precise and personable. He definitely valued "doing things right" and could explain the reasoning behind why things needed to be done a certain way. read more

We just used Granite for the second time last week. The first time, they replaced our electric panel, and this past time, installed a very expensive (read "complicated") dining room light. Both times the staff were great, the office manager is very responsive, as is the owner. The show up on-time, clean-up when they leave, and are very respectful of our property. read more

We had numerous electrical issues in our new home and Granite Electric was FANTASTIC! Honest, fair, always on time, everyone who works for the company listened to the issues, came up with solutions that worked for us and were polite and very clean. The prices were reasonable and I highly recommend them! read more
