JC Alameda did a fantastic job! He fixed the under-cabinet lighting in my kitchen and installed a dimmer switch quickly and efficiently. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain what he was doing. One thing I really appreciated was that he noticed I had two different types of light bulbs installed, which I didn't realize could cause problems. He explained why it mattered and made sure everything was working properly. He even picked up the supplies I needed, making the whole process easy and hassle-free. His pricing was fair, his work was excellent, and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish. I highly recommend JC Alameda if you're looking for a reliable, skilled electrician! read more

JC does an awesome job. Needed a light fixture replaced and he came promptly to take a look. The initial fixture that we installed didn't end up fitting well so he was excellent at problem solving and ran to Lowe's to find a fixture with a perfect fit. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. read more

I have again used yelp projects to find an electrician this time. I got quotes from 4 different electricians and JC was the only one to offer to come out next day. I didn't put much in my yelp request but the other vendors quoted me higher prices anyway without an evaluation first. It started with a light not working and ended up needing a light switch replacement and rewire of the connectors to have the right wattage. Came out to $300 which was reasonable considering others quoted more for less work. JC was very professional and showed me every detail before performing any work. He stopped and asked before making a change that would cost more and I feel much safer with his electrical work. I will use him again in the future. read more

JC is an absolute lifesaver! We had a larger company rewire our smoke detectors and install a new light fixture. For the next week, we experienced intermittent blackouts through 2/3 of our house. The larger company doesn't work weekends, took several days to schedule an appt and ultimately didn't fix the problem. I was at my absolute wits end when I woke up early Sat morning to yet another blackout! After reading Susan's review of JC's services, I knew he was our guy. I texted JC at 6:30am on a Saturday and, to my surprise, he responded by 6:35am! He was at our house by 1pm same day and the problem was fixed by 1:30pm! He is incredibly efficient, knowledgeable and reasonably priced! I am so grateful he was able to help us. He will be my go-to electrician from here on out and I will refer him to anyone who will listen! Thank you, thank you! read more

Jc was very punctual, he arrived a little bit early, and after explaining my situation, he knew were to look, and quickly found out what issues we had going on. After finding out what was wrong he quickly fixed it, with proper attention to detail, and everything is back up and running. Also he came the day after I called, great service, highly recommend! read more

I had been having a terrible, drawn-out experience last week with another outfit and called JC Alameda Electrician Services. Juan Carlos (JC) squeezed me in on Saturday morning before his other appointments. He whooshed in, identified the problem (a standing lamp that needs to be retired), replaced the loose breaker, let me confirm that all lights and outlets were now working, gave me a safety recommendation (a space heater I'd been using was too powerful for my circuits and thus dangerous to use), and tightened all the screws on the electrical panel (noting that any electrician should do that during a visit regardless of the purpose of the visit). He did all of this over the course of about 25 minutes. And he did it for half the price that the other company charged just as the baseline fee. I've found a new electrician. read more

Considering the exceeding expedience of Juan Carlos' work, I figure it's only appropriate that I provide a marginally less expedient review of his services. TLDR; Great working with JC, fair prices, quality/reliable work, and generally just a friendly guy to work with. My wife and I moved into our house a little over a year ago, and we'd had a dangling lightbulb with a rattan shade in the center of our living room (unfortunately doesn't seem we had a picture, but it was giving interrogation room-core). We decided to finally address the eyesore and kill two birds by switching it out for a fan light to help with the East Bay heat. So there I was, my partially assembled Haiku ceiling unit courtesy of Big Ass Fan's, lazy Sunday playlist going, multimeter finally set up to make sure I don't electrocute myself, ready to get into some solid Home Improvement. As I'm reading the instructions, I find out there's this thing called a "fan-rated" junction box, which apparently has to be installed separately. Panicked the dinner I'm hosting in a few nights will need to be by lamplight underneath an exposed junction box, I quickly hopped to Yelp. JC was the first to respond (on a Sunday evening no less), and was able to come by the very next day to check out the junction box and provide a free estimate. There were some challenges in not being able to access the box from the attic, but after agreeing on what needed to be done and on the very reasonable quote, he popped out quick to buy a kit and then came back to do the install. In less than an hour's time he had the new junction set up AND the fully assembled fan running. He had me run a couple tests on the unit (e.g. see if it flies out the window while on max speed), and everything was perfectly smooth. He made a point of laying down plastic tarp before starting, and had cleaned up all the plaster and debris from the additional cuts needed to install the new junction. Fan looks great, house doesn't seem to be burning down, all in all glad to have finally established our go-to electrician with JC! read more

JC installed two new outlets for my bidets and I couldn't be happier with the results. He was incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire process, taking his time to ensure everything was done right rather than rushing through the job. His attention to detail really showed in the quality of work. From start to finish, he was professional and reliable in responding promptly to my initial message about scheduling an estimate, showing up on time for the estimate, and actually arriving early on the work day ready to get started. His pricing was very fair, and he left the work area spotless when finished. read more

We needed a new GFCI outlet in our bathroom and Juan did a phenomenal job. He seamlessly wired the new outlet into our breaker panel, and when he finished you could hardly tell he had been here. He was also very careful to walk us through the whole process, and when he hit a small snag caused by our plumbing he was transparent about our options and the pros and cons of each of them. Considering the amount of time he was here (about 4 hours including the initial consultation) the price was super reasonable. We would highly recommend Juan and will definitely be ringing him again as new projects come up! read more

Highly recommended! read more

I posted a project on Yelp, soliciting for outfits who could help - and JC was the most immediately responsive, offering his cell # and availability to come the same day. He arrived promptly on time, was great with communication, diagnosing the issue, and helping to design a solution to my problem that was thoughtful, long-lasting, and "to code." (which resolved improper work done by a previous handyman) JC's pricing was transparent and fair, and his work ethic is top notch, and I've had him come back for add'l work since - which was equally high quality, on time, and a job well done. I will be leveraging JC in the future! read more

I hired JC to convert about 7 of the electrical plugs in my home from 2-prong to 3-prong. JC was extremely responsive: we messaged through Yelp & he was at my home, working within the hour. JC's was the lowest of 6 quotes & the speed was incredible; he was done within an hour! I was able to pay by check but he also accepts Zelle. JC charged me $600 while all other quotes started at $1,000. JC showed up with all the needed materials & I was pleased with the work; JC left my home tidy and with all plugs in perfect working condition. JC was polite and kind going so far as to show me & explain to me how the wiring is set up in my home, and to offer some advice in a way that did not feel pushy. I was very pleased with the work & service; I would absolutely hire JC again. read more

Our 1940 house was in need of new outlets and switches in the upstairs bedrooms. Our kitchen and bath had been remodeled, but the rest of the house was ungrounded two-prong outlets and some were so worn it was concerning. We ended up rewiring all of the areas of the house with old wiring, a major job. Juan Carlos installed a new 100 amp subpanel and connected it to the main panel. He replaced all of the outdated outlets and added several outlets in each room and a new outlet on the outside of the house (very helpful now that we are setting up Christmas lights). He also replaced all of light switches and repaired my defective hanging lamp and installed a new one. The job was fairly complex and took over a week to complete. Juan Carlos and his assistant were very considerate and communicated when power would be out, where and for how long. The cost was per the estimate and reasonable for the scope of work. read more

I received excellent service from Juan Carlos. The communication was super easy and he was very responsive, I never waited more than 20-30 minutes for a response to any text. He installed the fan in the exact time quoted and cleaned up everything beautifully before he left. He even gave my dog lots of pets which made his day. Highly recommend! read more

Fast service and fix. Needed a last minute fix and JC came out quickly, identified the issue and got it fixed.

We suddenly lost power to several of our electrical outlets which were being used by our main television and entertainment center (crisis!). We checked the circuit breakers but still couldn't get anything to work, so I had to run a long extension cord from another room (hazard!) to keep things powered up. I contacted JC Alameda Electrician Services and Juan was available that same day so we set up an appointment for the afternoon. Juan was on time and was very friendly and professional. He did some troubleshooting and was able to quickly diagnose the problem and in less than half an hour had replaced one of our "faulty" outlets which restored power to the other outlets in the room. My experience and interactions with Juan were all very positive. He even followed up the next day just to make sure everything was in working order. If you are in need of an electrician I would highly recommend JC Alameda Electrician Services. read more

I finally found an electrician whom I can rely on and does a great job at fair price. My smoke alarm went off a few weeks ago and it is located on the ceiling where it can only be accessed via a ladder. Juan Carlos came over and replaced the battery but after couple of weeks when it went off for couple of weeks, he came over and changed the entire unit which is hard-wired the next day. I appreciate his work and energy and honesty. read more
