Nate does a fantastic job. He is honest and works fast to get the job done. Unlike other electricians who charge an arm and a leg just to show up, Nate charges $100 per hour flat. He installed two ceiling lights for us and fixed and restored power to the backyard flood light. Very happy with the work and the results. read more

I've had Nate do a BUNCH of stuff in my home - recessed lighting, new outlets/circuits, outdoor outlets, fan installation, and more. Nate is nothing but prompt, professional, kind, and does amazing work. Will absolutely be my first call for all electrical needs! read more

Covid safe guy. Does super work. On time. I had this guy upgrade the electrical in our new house we bought ten years ago. So we decided it would be nice to get outlet in backyard. Called Nate and got a quote. He came over got it done, looks super nice with a water proof cover. I highly recommend Nate for big job or small job! read more

Nate and his helper( I forget his name) are awesome. They are both the kinda people I would trust to work around my children and family while I was at work. I had him rewire my entire house in San Lorenzo and they did an excellent job. I ALSO called him a few months after that to install a dedicated plug for an AC in our bedroom. Now my wife was 8.5 months preggo, and it was almost 100 degrees in out house. He said the quickest he could come out would be a week away. I agreed and we set the date. Nate calls me back 15 minutes later to tell me he had moved around 2 house appointments and could now be at my house in one day. That's the kinda guys these two are. Very reasonably priced and good work don't really come hand in hand, but in this case the do. read more

Really disappointed. Nate was reliable and came out to do an estimate, walked through, spent the time asking questions, took notes. Then almost a week goes by and I email him to see if he had prepared the estimate for me... Nope can't do because he doesn't have time and took another job. Really wish you would have told me that ASAP so I wasn't waiting for almost another week. Now I have to start the whole bid process over... ***Please note this was for a job through my place of employment. read more

I called Nate because I needed a cable outlet and an electrical located in the middle of the wall behind where I intended to install at TV. I left a message, Nate called me back within 3 hours, gave me a quote and scheduled me for two days later. The quote was very reasonable. On the appointment date, he arrived at the time he said he would. He was very honest and actually charged me less than quoted because he said it did not take him as long as he thought he would. I was very happy with Nate and his work. If you are looking for an honest person who does good work. Call Nate read more

See all

I needed electrical work done quickly because my refrigerator went out and I didn't want my food to spoil. I told Nate that my microwave, stove and frig all went out at the same time. He gave me some tips over the phone so that he wouldn't have to charge me if it was a simple fix. None of his suggestions worked so he stopped by. He found that my GFCI switch burned out and he installed one that he had with him. He said he would give me a better one but he didnt have one with him. So I made another appt with him so he can change the GFCI switch for an upgraded one at no extra charge! He was in and out within 30 minutes. I would highly recommend Nate!!! *Update* Nate came over one week later and was on time. He remembered everything he promised to do (changing the GFCI switch to a more updated one, putting better insulation all around the fuse box and even having the receipt ready that he forgot to give me the previous week). Nate is AWESOME!!! read more

I recently hired Nate's electric to install recessed lighting in my living room and change out my ceiling fan. Nate came by, gave me a reasonable quote, and we set it up. Nate and his co-worker Eric, showed up on time and they both worked well together to get it all done. They worked hard and were very professional. I would highly recommend Nate's Electric any time you need an electrician. read more

Doing a remodel on my home - needing lots of electrical - Working with Nate has been great - things get done - previous jobs that were not done well by other get fixed - Very happy he is on the job read more

Nate sent Eric to repair our hallway lighting and it was done quickly and without fuss. He explained the problem and resolved it for me. I liked the work so I am asking for quotes for my other electrical needs. read more

Nate's quality of work is to be admired. He has helped my family with various electrical problems for the last two years and recently helped me when i bought my first home in Vallejo. He is a fearless electrician and gets the job done...and done right! On one occasion i had given him the wrong information in regards to a plug he was intending on installing for me and he was very accommodating about it. He even drove clear across the bay area to get the right plug and came back the same day to install it free of additional charges :) Over all Nate is friendly, communicates well, is very reasonably priced and has always followed through on his word. I would most definitely recommend using Nate for ANY electrical problems one is having! read more

Nate was recommended by a friend; the recommendation turned out to be spot on. I needed a ceiling light/fan installed in my place and I was worried about the installation since I have concrete walls. In addition the fan would need to have new wiring run to it from a junction box elsewhere on the ceiling. Nate did a terrific job with the installation. Nate was incredibly professional and thorough and he even brought along extra-strengh anchors and materials to ensure the fan would be rock solid in the ceiling. It's easily the single-best improvement to my place since I moved in. He did such a great job that I had him take care of a few other small installation/to-do items I'd had on my home improvement list for awhile. He's super-friendly, extremely good at what he does, and charges reasonable rates. I've already recommended him to other residents in my building. read more

I can't believe I haven't rated Nate's work yet! He was 2nd out of 9 bids and I chose him not only for being the lowest price, but the most professional and knowledgeable. He runs his own company and I didn't have to deal with the middle man costs. I really wanted a new panel to replace the existing Federal Pacific Electric panel that is known for it's bad breakers, before I moved into my first home. I also wanted to replace and create new circuits for my appliances. The usual, garbage disposal on it's own circuit. Fridge, microwave, dishwasher, washer and dryer. He knew my time frame as delivery for the fridge, washer and dryer was coming up soon. He also has a contact within PG&E and is able to get the power disconnected extremely faster than any of the other bids that had warned I would be without power for days and that it would take days for PG&E to come out and do the disconnection, but only took Nate one. I also happen to work for PG&E on the gas transmission side, and confirmed his contact. Definitely my forever go to for all electrician services. He also installed a separate panel for my parent's hot tub. Which was a tricky endeavor considering it's location and what not. The 200amp picture on the yellow house is his work for me :) I wanted 200 for future possibility of having electric car charger, hot tub, or anything else I might want to add to the house. Thank you Nate!! Made a first time home-buyer definitely at ease! read more

Hands down, the best contractor I've ever worked with to improve my home. Nate did a panel upgrade, ran new electrical to and through an outbuilding, installed our car charging system, put up motion lights and fixed a bunch of outdoor outlets for us. Communication was easy, he had a great attitude and attention to detail and was very personable, as was his crew man Eric. I really wish all contractors were as professional and easy to communicate with as Nate. read more

Nate diagnosed my problem correctly after reviewing the iPad photos I emailed him. He gave me an accurate estimate online and came with the new part that I needed. No fuss. No ado. read more

I just recently worked on a project with Nate, having over 15 years in my trade it's nice to see a young guy who has professionalism and knows his trade very well. I hope to see him on many projects in the future. Hire this kid. read more

We wanted to hard wire our second computer as it kept dropping on WiFi. He came out quickly, did the job cleanly, for a reasonable price and stayed many hours later than he expected because we were having problems - it turned out to be our router and had nothing to do with his work. Regardless, he wouldn't leave until the system was working right and didn't charge us for all of his extra time trouble shooting our computer connection issues! I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

I left series of voicemails to return my call and schedule an appointment but did not get even a single call back. This deserves a zero star. read more

Ditto all the other good reviews. Had Nate work on a recent outlet addition in a somewhat complicated building structure. He was efficient (took 75 minutes versus initial estimate of 2 hours), was easy to work with and found a simple solution to what could have been a difficult job. Would highly recommend him and hope his business flourishes! read more

Look no further! for your electrical contractor for Nate is better than the best! First, he's a pleasure to deal with-shows up when he says he will diagnosis the problem and communicate clearly with you, the client, what needs to be done. He goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure you are totally satisfied. I recently did a "mini-remodel" on my house and Nate did a fantastic job with a difficult electrical problem. I left him in my house during the day while I was at work-he is totally honest and trustworthy. He also did all the electrical installation and upgrade of my office, which was very complicated! I recommend him without reservation! read more

Nate's electrical service is the one to call. I dont know why I haven't written a review about him before. IV used him in both home locations The one in Oakland and the one in Castro valley that I now currently reside in. I called him up and he remembered me from my Oakland home. He diganosed and fixed multiple problems through out my home. Also he fixed everything in a timely manner. And gave me a great price for it. I even refered him to my sister who just bought a home in Castro valley also and he has been helping her with her home and she has been praising me about him. Thanks Nate. Looking forward to working with you again for any future problems. read more

I would give 10 stars if I could! We had Nate at our house to change out the subpanel and install a ceiling fan in our very tall stairwell. He was very thorough and answered all of my "how/why do you do that" questions. I was in the process of changing out the electrical sockets myself and he was very helpful whenever I came across anything that looked odd. His quote wasn't the cheapest, nor the most expensive. But he stuck to the quote price even though he had to come back another day to finish the job. He was really pleasant to work with and put up with my chatter. I would definitely hire him again to do work on the house. Being a first time homeowner, getting anything done seems daunting and expensive. He made the whole process easier and I feel like I learned something. He's now referred to as 'our electrician' in my house. read more

I've used NES at my home some years back and was pleased. I am writing this review based on my experience with NES in my commercial setting. I have an auto repair business that is located in a very old building. NES installed a new switch box so each piece of heavy load equipment can be turned on or off individually. We were able to choose where the tire changer, wheel balancer, rotory lifts and air compressor went during our initial setup. NES was able to custom bend all the pipe they run wires in right on the spot, and accommodate all the non standard electrical connections our equipment required. We have brought them back to our shop for additions and upgrades throughout the years. I appreciate the good work! read more

Nate is the kind of professional you always hope to find. He is skilled, personable, and offers good advice. He is willing to work with you to define the full scope of the job and explains what he is doing. I tried to switch out the light plates and outlets in my Newark house and ran into trouble with a 4-way circuit, and Nate came out and cleaned up my mess is less than an hour. We called him back for more work on another issue before our project was done. We liked him so much we continue to call him for our electrical needs in Albany and he always comes through for us. read more

I bought 2 lifts and had them installed at my shop. The place where I bought the lifts from couldn't send a electrician out for another 2-3 weeks after the install. I couldn't wait so I called around looking for electricians. Got a few quotes but Nate's stood out. Not only was his price reasonable but he was more professional. He actually typed up a estimate and emailed it to me. The others just came and looked at the job and just gave me a verbal price. Nate finished the job quicker than the time quoted. Couldn't be happier. Thanks man! read more

Nate's came through again! It was cold, dark (since he was fixing our exterior lights that had been out for years and no one else would bother to come out), and after 5:00, but Nate himself came out and identified the issue right away. Not only did he get the lights working, he double checked our other connections to make sure they worked, too! I recommend these guys for any electrical job! read more

REASONABLE PRICES, DEPENDABLE, THOROUGH, HONEST Nate upgraded my main panel, put dedicates circuits for each kitchen appliance and changed out some dangerous romex wiring in my garage. He also worked an extra day and didn't charge me a penny more than his original estimate. He was even honest enough to tell me that he was going to use a different part than what he put on the original estimate and discounted me for it. We are first time home buyers and we trusted him enough to give him the keys to our home to do work in our absence. He put up with all of my questions and he explained things in a way that was thorough and easy to understand. He was on time every time. It doesn't hurt that he's personable too. The best part is that his work past Alameda county inspections. THANKS NATE! read more

Nate did extensive electrical work on my last house during a huge kitchen remodel about 6 years ago. Since then I have referred him to many clients and colleagues for a variety of electrical jobs- some small and some larger jobs. I have heard nothing but compliments from those I have referred him to. Recently, he helped me with my current home and was very helpful, courteous and professional. His knowledge is extensive and his rates are reasonable. I work in real estate in the East Bay and he is my number one electrician referral. read more

Nate is Great! He wired about half of my shop for a New spray booth we put in, and let me tell you he did an awsome job. Everything he did was so neat , so clean and very proffesional. He brings everything he needs to tackle the job and does it efficiently. I would recommend Nate's Electrical Services to everybody in need of electrical work for their home or business! 5 Stars well deserved. read more

Nate came and did some minor electrical work for us in our new (to us) house, including some good detective work on a switch/light situation that defied logic. He fixed a few things and gave us guidance on how we could fix a few other things ourselves. I appreciated this, since many repair people try the hard sell. We'll definitely use him again. read more

We had 2 electricians give us quotes to replace our zinsco panels. The first wanted to up-sell us and told us we needed much bigger panels and subpanel and just tons of work and at the same time didn't even know what one of the pipes from the panel was for. Nate on the other hand knew exactly what that pipe was for and what we needed and told us straight up that we did not need all that extra stuff for a house of our size. Needless to say his quote was over $3000 lower and I feel like we didn't settle at all. We had Nate replace our old Zinsco main and subpanel and move the main panel so it would meet code. We also had him instal 2 new outlets in the garage. He noticed that the circuit to the microwave outlet was way overpowered (Which means the microwave would fry before tripping it) and fixed it. He was friendly even when my puppy and toddler were being annoying and worked around my toddler sleeping in a room he needed to check. He got the work done in just 2 days. Both days we only lost power for a few hours so it wasn't bad at all. We have a little minor patch work to do at the subpanel but nothing a little putty and paint won't fix and he warned us of that in advance. I will definitely call him if I have future electrical needs. read more

Nate is the real deal. I'm glad I chose him over the other contractors I had spoken with. I hired Nate and his team to replace an old Federal Pacific StabLok panel, a known fire hazard in addition to replacing the aluminum feeder line that came from my main service panel with a copper run. His pricing was far lower than his competitors and he completed the job when he said he would. He's very professional, prompt with his responses, and is no-pressure. I intend to use him for all of my future work. read more

Was in-and-out of my house in 15 minutes or less, replacing only an existing porch light, and charged $100. Know minimums are part of business but $50 seems sufficient. read more

Nate did an excellent job for us to install two motion- sensor outdoor lighting fixtures and a dimmer for an indoor LED light switch. He was prompt, courteous, and professional. His price was very reasonable. read more

Nate did an excellent job on installing our ceiling fan in our master bedroom. He was prompt and came prepared. We don't allow shoes inside my house and before we even asked him to remove his shoes, he already done so. He allowed my husband to watch him work without protest. He pleasantly answered his questions and even kept up a nice conversation as he worked. He is very personable, professional. and very transparent which we completely appreciate since we do not like contractors with hidden agendas. He has more than fair pricing. We immediately recommended Nate to a fellow coworker and will be contacting him again when we have more need for electrical work. read more

Professional and knowledge! Repaired a fire hazard in my garage quickly and safely. We didn't even know the extent of the problem until he pointed it out. Thankful for his help. We feel much safer now! read more

Nate was awesome. I couldnt have asked for a better experience. He just finished upgrading my old 100amp FPE panel to a new 200amp panel. His quote was reasonable, he was friendly and polite, he was easy to coordinate with, and fast on email. We had such a great experience my wife and I are now making a list of all the other electrical work we want to get done on our house. I highly recommend you hire Nate and don't even bother with finding alternative quotes. You simply arent going to find anyone better, especially in the Hayward area. read more

I'm just finished a job with Nate. The job itself was not that big but it needed a certified electrician and required a permit and inspection from the city and pending work from PG&E. I looked up Yelp and saw good reviews for Nate and decided to go with him and he didn't disappoint. Nate helped me navigate through the lengthy process and put in a lot of time to call folks to expedite the process. He ended up spending a lot of time (~2 months), I'm sure more than he's bargained for, but he never complained and the affordable quote stayed the same. He's honest and and easy going. I feel I can really trust. I would recommend Nate to anyone. read more

Excellent service! Nate installed a new panel and an updated subpanel for us as well as lots of other miscellaneous electrical work. Good, fast work. He patiently answered our (many) questions and he was very good at communicating his schedule. The prices were pretty reasonable and he was happy to explain some simple things we could do ourselves to cut costs. read more

Nate just left after troubleshooting and fixing some electrical issues in our older home. He was quick, professional and very reasonably priced. Nice, nice guy. We're having him back in a couple of weeks to do some other work. You can tell Nate enjoys his job and loves the challenge. Highly recommended. read more
