He came to install an outdoor outlet for my sprinkler system and noticed that another outdoor outlet had been installed incorrectly by a previous company. Without me even asking, he fixed it at no additional cost. What I appreciated most was the care they took in my home. They covered my furniture to protect it from dust and cleaned up thoroughly when the job was done. Professional, honest, and detail-oriented. I truly appreciate the extra effort and would definitely hire them again.

Several other electrical firms didn't respond at all, but luckily Francisco at Alameda Oakland Electrical took the call and jumped into action.

He knew what he was doing, efficient, professional, friendly, cleaned up the work site, and charged a reasonable price for a same-day service! The business is local to Oakland and family-owned. I appreciated the good customer experience and highly recommend Alameda Oakland Electrical Services!

I'm in town for only a few days when I found our circuits were out for a couple of outlets in our…read morehouse. JC responded within minutes of me leaving a message. Then he showed up the same afternoon! After running through all our circuit boxes (that I recalled), he was stumped. He ran through and checked all our fuse boxes, connections, checked all nearby outlets, and then ran outside and found the last remaining circuit box outside which I had forgotten about. He ran through everything in the house, and also ended up switching out an old outlet that was too loose to plug anything into. Talk about persistent, efficient, and having the willingness to find and repair the problem. He's responsive, good at finding the problem, and not overcharging for his work. That's great service and expert work! Thanks JC!

So, when I needed to upgrade the main panel from 100 amps to 200 amps, I contacted Sugi Kardon.

The crew was efficient, respectful, and the job easily passed city and PG&E inspections. I've added Kardon Electric to my contacts list and highly recommend them!

I recently hired Boyes Electric for two major projects at my home: replacing my subpanels last fall…read moreand, more recently, installing a new main electrical panel and a Level 2 EV charger. Both experiences were outstanding. From start to finish, their team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and customer service. The technicians were extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and easy to work with. They took the time to answer questions, explain the work being performed, and ensure everything was completed correctly. What impressed me most was their responsiveness and attention to detail. Communication was prompt throughout the process, scheduling was straightforward, and the work was completed efficiently. The crew treated my home with respect, kept the work area clean, and thoroughly cleaned up when the job was finished. Their pricing was fair and reasonable, especially considering the quality of workmanship and service provided. It's becoming increasingly rare to find contractors who consistently deliver on all fronts, but Boyes Electric exceeded my expectations every time. I would not hesitate to use them again for future electrical projects and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and customer-focused electrical contractor. If you're looking for top-notch electrical work backed by excellent service, Boyes Electric is an easy five-star recommendation.

Would highly recommend this crew and would love to work with them in the future for any of our need.

I will definitely work with Island Electric again in the future and would not hesitate to recommend them.

I had a great experience with Geoff at Williams Electric. I was dealing with serious voltage…read morefluctuations throughout my house--lights flickering, appliances losing power, and outlets reading abnormally high or low voltage. Geoff quickly identified problems at the service connection where the utility power enters the house, repaired the loose connections and grounding issue, and carefully checked the main panel and subpanel. He walked me through everything he was testing, tightened several loose connections, and confirmed there was no heat damage. After his repairs, the voltage immediately stabilized around 121-123 volts, even with the microwave running under load. The lights stopped dimming, the stove stopped resetting, and the microwave began operating normally again. Geoff is clearly a highly experienced, old-school electrician who knows his trade inside and out. He was thorough, straightforward, and focused on fixing the actual problem. He also gave me helpful guidance about the permitting and compliance work that should be addressed next. I would absolutely recommend Williams Electric.

The electrical issue was fixed, but the behavior was incredibly inappropriate and uncomfortable. I would not recommend this company.

Unfortunately that did not happen, as the electrical appliances in my kitchen had no power No hot coffee for me. Enter Alley Electric. The office was closed as this happened on a week-end. Their message said that they would contact me on Monday. They did. Julio came out to the house on Monday and after checking the circuit breaker box and doing some tests on the inside outlets, quickly solved the problem. Julio was pleasant, very professional and smart. The cost of his expertise was very reasonable and he could have found ways to increase the cost but he did not. Needless to say I am very impressed with Alley Electric and I do not impress easily. Alina, the woman who with whom I spoke, was as nice as she could be, and I appreciate this attitude, especially in today's world. Alley Electric is an independently owned business, and I firmly believe that we should support these businesses if they deserve to be supported, and this business definitely deserves it. They have glowing reviews from others too. Phone: 510-573-0427 Email: Alleyelectric@comcast.net

Our house is roughly 1700 sq. ft., and for all the rewiring and adding circuits, they made just one hole that needed to be patched(which they patched up themselves). They were absolutely methodical with the rewire, we were so pleased with their work. It was involved and they handled it like champs. Our project took only about 7 days, and they were able to get our city inspection arranged and passed quickly after they had finished. We were so grateful for Darius' professionalism, attention to detail and care with our house. We would definitely use his company again. One more note: We've lived in this house for almost 20 years, and were sort of nervous about the impact of having this project under way with ourselves and all of our belongings in here. We did move some things around so they would have easy access to outlets, etc. But otherwise we didn't have to do much. And there was zero impact on our daily routines. Darius and his team made everything really easy, and they kept the house so clean (they cleaned up every day). From getting our estimate to the completion of this project we knew we were in good hands and working with very skilled professionals.
