Debra(the office manager) is very responsive via email, always calls me back so it was a pleasant experience to work with her. Miguel and Gabriel are great. I had many questions throughout the project and they always answered my questions patiently(in plain English). They assessed our particular situations and provided many useful suggestions, creative ideas, and tips. The work site was kept clean. The cost was kept within our budget, and everything is itemized so we are well informed. I had other professionals working on the house for a few projects and they have been given good feedback too. The whole process I'd describe as professional, reliable, painless, efficient, open communication and on time! I'd highly recommend them to friends and family.

Vastola has done numerous projects at our recently purchased 1960s era home over the past few…read moremonths (including a new breaker panel install, new HVAC wiring, and more), and everything was completed in a prompt and professional manner. Communication is absolutely stellar, and they are great about anticipating needs and taking care of unexpected issues (let's face it, a lot of us here in Santa Barbara have older houses with a lot of quirks.) Joe has the experience and know-how to deal with any bizarre situation that might come up in our unique city. Every member of his team brings their own wealth of experience and professionalism as well. I also felt confident the entire time in the honesty of the business. Invoices and estimates were delivered via email and all costs were accurately anticipated up front. I would recommend Vastola to anyone looking to get the job done right, and I will definitely have them come back next time we need more electrical work, as we are planning further renovations down the road. Not only are they the best electricians we've worked with, they are the best contractors of any kind we've worked with. I wish every contractor was up to their standard of excellence and honesty.

All communication was with Jason the owner…read more CEC installed an electrical panel for us. It started with them quoting us $2500 then changing the price to $3500. They then installed the electrical wiring externally around our patio when we requested it to be wired through our attic (standard practice according to other local electric companies). They told us no. The wiring was not attached to house, buckled out infront of our patio door and was a fall hazard. I asked the owner to return to properly attach to house and he said no, we'd have to pay extra for that. Edison came out to reconnect their wire ( running from electrical pole) to our roof and told us the way CEC had connected it was a MAJOR FIRE RISK. the wiring could have slipped out of the tape they used and lit our house on fire. To top it off, the owner of CEC threatened to put a lien on our house if we didn't pay right away after I kindly requested he attach the external wiring to house because it was a fall hazard, before paying. CEC WAS/IS A NIGHTMARE. DO NOT HIRE THEM!
