Great electrician to do your hot tub- he clearly has so much experience with them! It's important…read moreto get a guy for hot tub who won't just do the wiring but actually get the tub to start and this was exactly that. He did our Sundance tub we bought from paradise valley spas. He also used PVC in the job since we're near the beach which we appreciated. $300 an hour for his services- pricey but worth it

He was on time,…read moredid the job quickly and thoroughly, there were no unexpected price changes, and I even learned a bit about the electrical system of the house as he did the work. Overall, he's a great guy, a knowledgeable electrician, and we're already planning on hiring him again for more work on the house.

Seemed nice enough, but no follow-through, and then avoidance…read more Came out to look at a small job, (nearly an hour late) said it would take him an hour or so, and he'd be in touch; if we didn't hear from him early next week to give him a call-- We waited, no word from him, so we called, left a message, then a few days later, another, then another week goes by, and another two messages. Not only did he not return calls, but after two weeks of trying to reach him, he wasn't even answering the phone! I file that under totally unprofessional. Not taking calls is one thing, everyone gets busy. Not returning one call, ok, but 5 or 6? Wow. This is often the first step in many contractors or other workers coming in to do other work, so this delay was delaying everyone, and pissing me off. If you can't do it, then say so--or just say, 'hey, there are a lot of really big jobs out there that I'd rather do, because they're going to pay more." and I'll go find another, more professional electrician. Oh, I did that. And when they came out, they did a MUCH more thorough job than the quick eye-balling this guy did, and made SURE to look at the wiring and the rest of the house before saying something was safely possible. I should have known by the "oh yeah, yeah, that's no problem, sure sure..." I kept hearing. I won't be calling a 6th time.

Great experience with Dave from start to finish. They were professional, responsive, and easy to…read morework with. The electrician showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and got the job done cleanly and efficiently. It's hard to find reliable tradespeople, but these guys were honest, knowledgeable, and did quality work. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone in San Mateo looking for a dependable electrician.

Don't use these Franmore Electric. I hired them to secure a service entrance wire holder that had…read morecome off the roof. The problem with Franmore Electric, is they don't own up to the job. They'll quote you for new hardware, re-use your old hardware, apply a patch job that falls apart after a matter of weeks, and they won't come back to fix it. They quoted and charged for the following: Provide New Holder and Secure the Conductor from PG&E to the House Racer. Instead of providing a new solution, they re-used the old wire holder and placed it in a less secure location, on the fascia board. I was expecting they would secure to something sturdy, like the mast. A few weeks later, the wire holder and trim had started to pull away from the house. I emailed Alfredo who said "I will try to pass bay some time this week and see what is the best way to fix it." One year has passed and these guys never came back to fix it, and even worse, the wire holder has pulled several inches away, bending both trim and flashing with it. I'm now looking at fixing the damage their sloppy re-location job caused. Despite repeated inquiries, I've only received empty promises, and am left with more damage then they were originally hired to fix. **** Update - 11/14/16 **** I'm updating Franmore from one to two stars for effort. I finally called another electrician, Wire Works, and after a matter of hours, the job was done correctly. I finished the siding repair myself, but my roof is still tweaked. Not long after all repairs were done, I walk outside to see Franmore mounting a ladder to my house. I told the guy it was too late, and I had someone else do the job. It's too bad it takes a negative review to get Franmore moving.

Alfredo Cruz is the owner and Lead Electrician of Franmore Electric. We used them exclusively for…read morethe construction of our new home, and I found Alfredo to be an absolute professional. Despite our fairly demanding standards, Alfredo was able to wire our new home from top to bottom. This included a major modification when we switched mid-stream to a centrally computerized lighting system. Post-construction, Alfredo has continued to be responsive, fixing a few small issues that came up. In a world of sloppy and often erratic contractors, it is rare to find one with Alfredo's skill level and professionalism. I highly recommend Franmore Electric if you want your job done well and at a fair price.

He's very detail oriented and friendly! During our onsite consultation, we told him what work we needed and after our walk-through, he also caught a few electric-related items that could use some attention. He is very thorough, and honest. Doesn't try to upsell, and his work and price was incredibly reasonable for the scope of work he performs. Friendly guy and his team is also very responsive via email, and phone. I like that his team sends email confirmations for all scheduled appointments, and emails for payment in a very timely manner. Our project included a consultation, permit application managed by his team, 1 day to complete scope of work, and closing with an inspection around our schedule. We found him on Thumbtack app, but I'd say just give his team a call. Highly recommend ELC Contractor for your electrical needs!

His soonest available slot was about 2 weeks out which was fine with us as we weren't in a rush. A few years ago, I reached out about a main panel upgrade and at the time was told he didn't do those since they're pretty big jobs. (We did end up getting the upgrade with a different provider, and I can attest to that it's a very, very big job.) Not sure if that's still the case, but just an FYI.
