I want to take a moment to recognize Ken for the excellent electrical work he completed at my…read morehouse. Finding someone you feel comfortable trusting with your home can be difficult, especially when it comes to electrical work, so I truly appreciated his professionalism and the care he put into the job. One of the things I appreciated most was Ken's willingness to explain the work and answer my questions. Electrical issues aren't always easy for a homeowner to understand, and it makes a big difference when someone takes the time to walk you through what needs to be done. I felt comfortable asking questions and appreciated having a better understanding of the work being performed. Ken showed great attention to detail throughout the job. He took pride in his work and treated my home with respect. It was reassuring to see that he cared about the quality of the finished work and wanted everything done properly. As a homeowner, that kind of care goes a long way toward making you feel confident in the person you've hired. Beyond the work itself, Ken was courteous, approachable, and easy to communicate with. Having someone working in your home can sometimes be stressful, but he made the experience a positive one. I appreciated the effort he put into the job and the way he handled himself from start to finish. Overall, I am very happy with the electrical work Ken completed and grateful for his help. I would gladly have him back for future electrical projects and recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional electrician who takes pride in his work. Thank you, Ken, for taking such good care of my home!

I called their business number listed here 2 days ago since they had very high ratings in Yelp…read more Spoke with Ken, the owner. Told him we have 2 outlets that wasn't working. He went through a couple of quick fixes on the phone which could save us some money. I told him we've done that already and we need an electrician to diagnose and fix the problem. He said it'll cost $335 to show up and if he is here over 2hrs, it will be an extra $169/hr. I said okay. Since he is highly rated, I didn't bother calling other electricians for more quotes. I normally get at least 3 then compare. Then he said his appts are 3wks away but has a cancellation for Saturday (today) at 11am. So I said sure and gave him our address and told him to call us when he's here cuz we have to buzz him in the security gate. He said our address is 5mins from his house so no problem. Long story short. He never showed up, no call -nothing! Wasted our time waiting. It is our rental property so I had to drive in before the appt, waited an hour after the appt then left. He may not have wanted to take the job cuz I got the sense that he wasn't enthused and quoted us his price for showing up. Or... he may have forgotten about the appt. Either way, he is the owner and there is no excuse for poor business practice. And for wasting my time I gave him one star since I can't give zero.

We are very happy with our experience with Angel Electric! Angel has great communication and is…read morevery responsive. He charged a fair price and he and his colleague were lovely. They were personable, worked well together, did a very efficient job and left the space clean when they were done. Would highly recommend! The job was to replace two chandeliers and one ceiling fan on a high vaulted ceiling, and to also split one light switch that controlled two different lights into two separate switches. They crushed it! 10/10

He would not allow me to finish explaining what my scenario is and ultimately hung up on me and left me a snippy text with of course, the requisite passive-aggressive "Don't bother.

Jaime did a great job installing our Tesla Wall Charger on-base at Travis AFB back in August 2022…read more(it's running great!). He offered to come out and conduct a good quote after seeing the job request. I'm no electrician, but he was honest about options (and cost) for various size conduit based on my requested charging rate. He also made sure that met code and wouldn't overload our breaker box. Bottomline? If you're looking for a solid electrician (esp. for an EV charger install), look no further than Jaime!

I've had Damon & his crew (Carlos, Carlitos, Marcos, Samuel) do a couple jobs for me now (these…read morethings tend to snowball, ugh, lol) & they've always done top-notch work. I had a fan in my master bathroom crap out on me, which was weird, since I only bought my place 4 years ago, it was newly remodeled, & I even remodeled some more on top of that. My wife pointed out it wasn't working, but it looked new to me, so I popped the cover to find out...not new at all. New COVER over a fan that was a year younger than the missus. Uh oh. The old "lipstick on a pig" boogie from the prior owners/ seller. Damn. Hate getting hoodwinked. So, I think "well, better check the 'new' fan in the guest bath too." Pop THAT shiny, nice cover & ...same drill but even OLDER. Some mid-80's (I think) giant 13" circular fan they don't even make anymore. Double ugh. Last stop: laundry room. Final fan, pop the cover...whew, it's actually a new-ish fan. 1 outta 3 ain't bad, right? /sigh So I put out the feelers for an electrician (I had 2 dead outlets, 1 indoor, 1 outdoor as well) & after doing the "online quote" thing w/ Yelp, I got in touch w/ Damon @ Berkeley Home Repair. Funny dude, super helpful, quick & responsive. He schedules his electrician, Carlitos, to come out ASAP, for what I think is gonna just be a basic fan install & outlet fix job. Nope. Carlitos goes into the attic & discovers the ducts are all wrong. 3 fans running thru 2 ducts, both bathrooms on the same 4" line, & laundry room on some weird 3" duct. Now, you can get away with 4", but 6" is code & preferred, & every fan has to be on its own dedicated/ independent duct, or you're just blowing moisture from room to room & into the attic. Not good. We crawl the attic together & confirm I need a 3rd roof penetration & new ducts. So much for cheap & easy. Damn. Damon adjusts the bid (as gently as possible, considering my costs just went up almost 10x) & I wind up with 2 brand new Panasonic Whisper Quiet fans (amazing. Almost TOO quiet), a new roof penetration & cap, new independent 6" ducts for each fan, an excellent sheetrock patch & paintjob on my guest bath ceiling (prior, old-timey fan was just way too huge compared to current models) AND Carlitos fixed both dead power outlets (one of which turned out to be an arcing short/ broken wire inside the wall, which we were lucky to catch before a fire). All the workers were amazing to work with & did great on their specific parts of the now much larger order. Everyone worked quickly &, despite the gig snowballing far beyond the expected, Damon priced fairly & had the work done as fast as possible with minimal intrusion & inconvenience (crucial during these pandemic "work from home" times) Tho it was obviously a bummer to have a small job turn into a much bigger & more expensive one, I always felt like I was in good hands with Damon, his communication was clear, direct, quick & honest, & the outcome was excellent. I'll definitely be using Berkeley Home Repair for future work, since homeownership often means nasty surprises like the one I got ain't all that rare, unfortunately. Heh. At least now I know who to call to get sorted fairly & quickly. Thanks fellas! Will try to post pics when I get a chance...but most of this was "behind the scenes" work, or what my buddy likes to call "invisible money", heh.

I called this company and spoke to a guy named Damon who asked me to text him photos of the project…read moreI had in mind as well as a diagram with measurements. I did that. In fact, on the call he said I could text or email him and I asked specifically which mode he preferred - he said that text would get the fastest response. So I texted. No response. Called a couple times. No reply. This place has either closed or has awful customer service and communication. I'm grateful that I didn't spend long on this company but I still wish I could get my time and energy back spent schmoozing this guy who would end up ghosting me Edit: I got a notification 35 minutes after posting this review that he commented and I couldn't be happier that I left one star.
