K Butler Electric is 5 stars across the board! After spending some time researching and getting quotes from multiple places, we decided to use K Butler Electric. Ken (the owner) is very personable, nice and very knowledgeable. He only recommends what is best and fair. He will never cheat you into something that you don't need. We updated our electrical in the kitchen, bathroom and garage and also added recessed lighting throughout the house along with other little things (adding outlets in certain areas of the house and adding some ground rods to the electrical panel). The two main guys (Mike and Jeremy) who worked on my house were very personable, professional and made sure that the job is done right! There was a third guy who helped on the last day, but I forgot his name. He was also very nice and professional. The job took about 2 1/2 days and they were very efficient with the amount of work that needed to be done. I made sure they were happy by buying them breakfast in the mornings. They did amazing work! Their pricing is very affordable and would use them again! I couldn't be happier with who we chose and how everything turned out. Great service, great results, great people! read more

Good service and showed up on time. When it wasn't fixed the first time, they came back and fixed it again.

After my family used Ken Butler Electric and had nothing but great things to say I had Ken come by for a quote on a pretty big job at my place. Ken spent almost an hour looking over my project and explaining all my options. He was very knowledgeable on working with PG&E which was a huge plus. After all the time spent he actually figured out a way to save me a large amount of money with going a different route. Highly recommend the company! read more

K Butler was referred to me by someone who had work done recently. I enjoyed meeting him. He had great ideas and I figured I was paying for an expert. Ken may be an expert but the team that was sent was NOT. All of the suggestions that Kent had made to me were obviously not written into the work order. I was not present for all of the work, so came to my house and found things done incorrectly. Recessed lights in kitchen done wrong. Recessed lights in downstairs hallway we're going to be wrong but I caught them before they cut holes. Upstairs recessed lights wrong - not centered in ceiling and looked horrible. Whole house fan faceplate installed smashed in. Bedroom ceiling fan put in wrong place. Long story short 4 additional holes cut into my ceiling costing me over $1200 to fix. I loved Ken's ideas but execution and fixing errors were costly and time consuming. I would NOT recommend. read more

K Butler Electric - Just an example of their mistake left I repaired and left to me to pay to fix. - Electricians Near Me - Benicia, California

Just had K Butler Electric come out and install all new wiring in 4 different locationsi our home. When our home was built they never put any ceiling lights in the front room or bedrooms. So we hired K Butler to come out and run wiring and install fans with lights. Completely professional Matt and Andrew were impeccable. Cleaned up before they left and did an amazing job and no repairs to the walls or ceilings to be done after they were done. We highly recommend K Butler Electric. read more

We had a great experience using K Butler to complete a set of small projects and repairs in our home. During the job walk and estimate, Ken carefully listened to our issues and desired improvements. He gave us clear options and mapped out a complete scope of work. We found his estimate to be very reasonable. So we scheduled the work. On the scheduled day, Mat (journeyman electrician) and Andrew (apprentice) were right on time. They were professional and personable - a pleasure to work with. In fact, we liked them so much we wished we had more things for them to fix!! So, we can say that K Butler was prompt, professional, and affordable. What else do you need to know? Not only would we use them again, we look forward to it. read more

We had an electrical issue and I was so happy they were able to send someone out the same day. They were here at the time stated, he was able to assess and fix the issue right away and we are very happy customers! I'm happy we found them and will certainly use K Butler again as needed in the future. read more

We had our main power panel upgraded and we're TOTALLY satisfied with K Butler's price and service. The support staff (Monica and Lisa) was exceptional. Upgrading the main power box and rewiring is a major project. Thanks to Monica and Lisa, they took care of the permits required and kept us Informed on the status. Very good communication skills. A FANTASTIC company to do business with. We will definitely call them for all our electrical issues. read more

We recently had one of their electricians out to complete work on a previous call. The electrician showed up 45 mins late and throughout the appointment he talked to himself and cursed. My partner was home during the appointment and for her the experience was uncomfortable because when she attempted to discuss the issues and concerns with him he was unresponsive. She called K. Butler the following day to discuss the previous appointment and concerns and was told the owner would call her back the next day. That was Thursday and she did not receive a call back until the following Tuesday. During the call on Tuesday the gentleman she spoke to talked over her and based on his response he did not listen to what her concerns were and only offered a discount on the next appointment. As a result we will be seeking out another electrician to resolve our issue. This is disappointing because K. Butler was recommended to her by other friends in the community and based on the reviews we were hoping to get our work completed. read more

Wonderful company. Ready to help with any electrical issue. Don't hesitate to call this company. They are reliable and trusted.

Great service from K Butler! I had Ken out to take a look at my new place that needed some work. Got on the calendar then had an urgent issue come up. Got next day service thanks to the magical scheduling from Courtney in the office. She sent out Jeremy who easily troubleshooted the problem and got the repairs done in a flash! Really awesome team here at K Butler. I'm looking forward to working with them on future upgrades. read more

We had a great experience working with K Butler Electric and we're really impressed by their customer service. We had two new ceiling light circuits (and fixtures) installed, there was a tiny issue with the switch they installed but they came back quickly to fix it. We would definitely hire them again just based on the customer service experience. read more

If your looking for an electrical company in the Benicia/Vallejo are then this is the company you need to hire. They were prompt and excellent on getting me a quote back to replace 2 ceiling fans. We had clear and direct communication from the time I requested a quote to the finishing of the job. read more

I would like to commend k butler for their explanation and correction of a billing error made for service. The effort to correct the billing shows that this company is willing to stand by their commitments and service. I will use k butler for future needs. read more

Spent no more than 20 minutes to inspect and let my wife know that the cause of the chiping sound was low battery level in our smoke alarm. Proceeded to charge $240 wothout hesitation amd said that it is their "minimum charge. Cmon, how can you sleep at night with a clear conscience knowing you screwed you fellow Benicians? I'm in the service business as well and we have our diagnostic fee which can easily be adjusted depending on the situation. I would have been happy to pay half the amount for your service. $240 for 20 minutes of actual inspection comes out to $720/hr which is absurd. We try to support local businesses as much as we can but this experience will definitely make us think twice. read more

If you are looking for an electrician in the Benicia, CA area I highly reccomend KButler Electric. They are responsive, proffesional, punctual, safe, friendly and over all pleasure to work with. I was dreading the coming of winter, locked down in my gloomy studio so Ken's crew came out and installed the can lights in all of the dark shadowy corners and really lightened up my world. And finally, after 25 years, I have a light switch next to my garage door! I could not be happier with the outcome and the experience. read more

Ken and his crew are really great. He came out same day to complete an estimate for an electric panel upgrade. We believe his company was the only one not to upcharge us due to the PG&E extra steps in turning on/off power and his bid came in as the lowest. Afterwards we needed someone to look at why some of our electrical outlets were not working. He was able to send someone over the next day and not only did he get the outlets working, we ran/added some new lines as well. Awesome job. Compare this to another company we had run 1 wire on another house cost 2x as much for the same amount of billable hours. We have already recommended K Butler to anyone who has needed electric work. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this company. I have used them before and wrote a review because they were so stellar but can't find it so I'm writing another one. Their service was exemplary and their prices were far more reasonable than other electricians I had contacted. So, when the power to part of my garage went out today, I called them. The lovely lady who answered the phone talked me through things to check before they sent someone out and sure enough, a circuit breaker had tripped. They could have charged me a service fee to come out and check it but she solved my problem over the phone. I would not hesitate to recommend K Butler Electric. read more

I had K Butler do the electrical work on my kitchen remodel--excellent work by friendly electricians. K Butler is very accommodating and easy to work with. I also had K Butler do a small job for me, fixing an electric fan. I have no reservations about recommending this firm. read more

Ken and crew are amazing. Everyone that I've met from this company is very knowledgeable and friendly. The work is outstanding and the service is even better. 5 stars easy! read more

Bad experience. While the work was completed, the team could work on their bedside manner. When I was quoted, I was not told the work would require cutting two 12" X 12" holes in the main hallway of the house which K.Butler also said was a surprise to him. I was also charged for an extra hour of work they claimed I requested which was not my understanding coming out of the verbal phone call when I authorized the work. Had that been my understanding I would not have been surprised by the additional hour charged. When I followed up via email on both topics seeking clarity, I was met with hostile replies from the owner. I paid my bill in full and moved on. Today, about a month after their initial work, there are more issues with electricity in a different section of the house. I sent a follow up to see if it was correlated with their work or if it's something they noticed when they checked the additional outlets which was the extra hour of work I was charged for. Their reply was dismissive and I was told they would not work with me. read more

We needed to deal with a hardwired smoke detector that was at the end of its life and was starting to beep. When I called to set up an appointment they worked hard to find a way to fit us in their busy schedule. Isaac was the electrician and did a great job with the replacement of the smoke detector, and also helped us replace a switch, so now we have a dimmer on what was a very bright LED bathroom light. Isaac was very professional and did a great job. We will definitely go to K Butler Electric for more of our electrical needs! read more

Knowledgeable, professional, efficient, reasonably priced. Had a chandelier installed on a high ceiling. Couldn't be happier with my experience and the end result. Thank you to Ken and his team! read more

If you are looking for a company, that has reasonable pricing, very nice professional staff, this is the company for you. They showed up on time (7 am sharp).

I had a great experience with the team that came out they were on time and very knowledgeable! I will use this company again and refer them to my neighbors! read more

Thank you first of all. I was having some issues with a 4 way switch and some can lights that were in need of upgrading due to the ballast being out. Called him up and made an appointment. One of his work crew showed up right on time and got to work. He was able to fix my issue (the on I had caused in the first place) and changed the fixed the light cans I needed help with. He was swift at getting the stuff done. And cleaned up his mess at the end. I am super happy I called them to finally help me out. I can't believe I lived with these problems that took less than 2 hours to remedy. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about K Butler! Definitely recommend them to all my friends, family and customers! Keep up the great work! read more

We were recently looking at the two fans and one light fixture that were installed by Jeremy and Joe from Butler Electric and continue to be amazed by their excellent craftmanship and skill set. These two guys were outstanding representatives of Butler Electric, arriving on time and completing the job in an efficient and timely manner. Butler offers electrical services at a reasonable cost and we would not hesitate to work with this company again for our electrical needs. read more

Ken at K Butler Electric is a great guy who knows both residential and commercial electric. Ken has done work for me in two different houses over a period of 10 years. He's pleasant to work with and gets the job done right. At the first house, we had Ken put in a modern sub-panel of new circuits to update from existing knob-and-tube for modern appliances in a kitchen and basement remodel. In the other house, Ken has worked with the existing 1916 electric system to properly install large light fixtures and to rewire lighting in the hallway without need for wall damage. read more

The most friendly and helpful electrician I have ever met. Came to my house the next day, solving the issue without having to be home. Did a great job, was neat, tidy, prompt, and friendly. read more

K. Butler Electric has personally done electrical work for me in my home. He is excellent to work with from the beginning estimate phase, to scheduling, to set up and through the completion, I was throughly impressed with the way he conducts his business and his communication during the process, and is very focused on customer service. I am very happy to refer him to anyone needing electrical services for your home or small business. Please use my name and this review as the referral source. :) read more

We recently hired K Butler Electric to complete electrical work at our residence and we couldn't be happier with the results. The work estimate was fair and the work was completed as scheduled. We had under kitchen cabinet lighting installed as well as pendant lightening and other lighting fixtures . We look forward to working with K Butler Electric in the future. read more

Very professional, responsive, and on time. Workers start early and get the job done. I had 3 ceiling fans installed. Two had to be wired due to no overhead lighting in the rooms and one had an overhead light but they had to move it so the fan would be in the middle of the room. They also installed some GFI outlets in the kitchen, reworked the electrical panel, wired my fireplace box for an insert, and put in a switch and box for an outside porch light. They were very neat and cleaned up when they were finished. I would highly recommend this company. read more

They came out on time and had great prices. After having a few quotes they had the best price by far. I plan to use them in again.

Ken's crew just finished another job for me last week. updating wiring in an attic (removing the old knob & tube) so I can have the attic insulated. They also installed some recessed lights, ran power for and installed 5 radiant wall heaters. I forget how many jobs Ken and team have completed for me, maybe 10. I trust their skill and they are always fair. read more

I called them in a panic on a Saturday and although they don't work on weekends the owner called me back right away. He scheduled me for the first appointment on Monday morning and they fixed the issues with my electrical panel! I can't thank them enough. Great professional service! Highly read more

Professional business, responded promptly to need. My dad is on oxygen and needs his electricity, they responded and were exceptionally professional and friendly. They quickly trouble shot the issue and resolved it with priority. I would highly recommend this company. read more

Butler Electric was great at trouble shooting a dead kitchen outlet. I was quoted an estimate over the phone , they came out on time and the appointment ran longer than the estimate. Not only did they fix my dead outlet that turned out to be much more involved & labor intensive, they honored the quote given by the owner! I didn't have to argue over the quoted amount, they just charged me the original amount. Not only are they honest hard workers, they offered to put all my pots & pans away after they cleaned up! I feel fortunate to have found a local and honest and electrician! read more

After a kitchen fire we needed to replace our kitchen light fixture. We called K-Butler Electric and Ken, the owner came to assess the job within a day or two. He offered useful suggestions and ideas and and after making our decision, we were able to schedule the work to take place a few days later. The two installers who came out to Install the the lights were very fast and competent and also offered ideas and suggestions. The whole transaction was handled professionally and I would highly recommend this company for electrical needs that you may have. read more

I am so happy that my dad found this place. We were impressed with the friendly, professional and knowledgeable service. Ken came out and fixed our main electrical panel so we could establish connections for our furnace and air conditioning. He was also, able to fix outlets that had never worked during the 6 years we have lived at this home. We are very happy with the work from K. Butler electric and highly recommend this company. read more
