Gonzales Electric came in clutch. He responded quickly to my Yelp request and provided a rough…read moreestimate right away. We scheduled a visit for Friday (4/3/26), and he showed up right on time. After assessing the job, he actually gave me an even better price for installing my Tesla Level 2 charger. He was professional, friendly, and took the time to explain everything about the installation. His attention to detail and craftsmanship really stood out--he went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. Overall, it was a great experience. I highly recommend Gonzales Electric to anyone in need of electrical work, and I'll definitely be reaching out again for future projects.

I am SO grateful I found Ed and Gonzalez Electric…read more The short version of why I needed help: yesterday, power went out to a section of my house and when I went to the breaker box to reset, it was audibly sizzling (!!!!!) and smelled like burning fish. I cut the power to the whole house in a panic, then sat there, not totally sure what to do because it was after 5 PM and rapidly getting dark, but hey. . . at least the sizzling had stopped (tiny victories). Gonzalez Electric was one of the first Yelp hits and once I saw Ed's great reviews, I gave him a call. He answered right away, was kind, listened to what happened, and said he'd be right out. Ed arrived at my place within half an hour and got to work. Ed's diagnosis of what was wrong was clear, professional, and he took the time to answer all of my questions. He even provided options for more economical vs longer term fixes. What I really appreciate though is how fair his pricing was--- the truth is that I was in a bad situation: no power, a sizzling breaker box, and a single woman alone at home in the darkness. He could have literally charged me anything and I would have probably paid it because hey, what choice did I have? But Ed didn't do that. He was VERY fair, he gave me options, he was just an all around wonderful person to work with and I am definitely saving his info for all future electrical work. He got everything fixed up before long and we are back to normal over here before I even got dinner on the stove for the night. SO grateful to Ed and if you need any electrical work done, don't hesitate to give him a call.

But this time the outcome was far less than satisfactory. Why? Why would a great company go down hill (so to speak) like that? Just kept scratching my head. Well, it dawned on me that perhaps the owner is hiring apprentice electricians to help them out, which if that is the case, is great. BUT, these employees must be supervised by an experienced, competent, knowledgeable and "seasoned" electrician. What actually happened was I hired them to install quite a few ceiling fans. After the job was done the ceiling fans were making such a hideous sound, we couldn't use any of the fans! So, I phoned a very close friend whom I trusted like I used to trust Rankin, and he had to troubleshoot each fan and basically re-install each one. I sincerely hope this once wonderful company is back on top of their game like they were the first time I hired them. They were really outstanding.

Of course, it happened on the wall where my internet is connected and the porch lights, too, so I was panicking. I looked around and Electrical Pros had the best rate and availability. They showed up quickly and were incredibly professional and kind. Within minutes, they found the issue and fixed it. The best part? They were completely honest and transparent. I only paid their consultation fee, which was about a third of what other companies were quoting. I've already asked them about another electrical project because I really appreciated their attitude. They gave me clear options and pricing without padding the costs just to make extra money. It felt like people genuinely helping people and I'm all about that.

We had just bought a house and were looking for a good general contractor in Bakersfield. We were lucky to end up with Joel and his team. Joel brought a full crew of specialists to make sure the job was done right the first time. He came recommended by our Air and Heat guy and he took my call on the second ring. He was at his father's 80th birthday party but he still made sure I got the immediate help we needed. Joel followed up a few days later. After reaching out to me, he showed up with his aforementioned crew to handle some additional repairs that were needed. I felt like I was watching a home repair TV show! Each guy split up in a different direction and immediately got to work. By the end of the day, we were shaking hands in the driveway. Darrah Construction was more than just an affordable construction company in Bakersfield. The quality of the work done showed me that it is also owned by one of the best general contractors in Bakersfield. He was friendly and fair, as well as honest, prompt and diligent in his work and that of his team. Thanks, Joel (and Brian, Jason, Mike, and the others in the crew)! You have a new loyal client!
