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.

His bid was competitive, and he was the only person out of multiple bids who recommended that I get the work permitted. I'm not interested in unpermitted and shoddy electrical work, and Francisco's bid was the most detailed out of the three. Francisco and his team were punctual, efficient, and neat. Francisco even repaired a damaged outlet, light switch and ceiling fan at no additional charge. He is trustworthy and communicative, and I will absolutely reach out to him again in the future.

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.

Boyes was the third quote we got, and the amount was fair and accurately estimated the cost for the job at hand. Sal, who was our account person, came out to the house and gave it a thorough walk through. He was very knowledgeable about what was needed and made a few very helpful suggestions about adding lights, telling us what was required versus optional. As a woman, I sometimes have had experiences where I felt I was being overcharged or up-sold unnecessary products or services. I NEVER felt that way with Sal or any member of his team. The guys who came to do the work were prompt, did a good job communicating the process and timeline, and the job was completed on time (two weeks) and on budget. Neri was particularly helpful day to day and quickly brought any unanticipated issues to us for discussion and approval. Every member of the team were respectful, very friendly and pleasant, and were careful with our home and its contents. Even though it is a somewhat messy job, they did a great job cleaning up and patching the holes that were required to run the new electrical. (For those getting this work done, know that many companies don't rough patch the holes that are required; Boyes closes all holes and leaves it in a state where only sanding and painting is then required.) I will use Boyes again if another electrical issue comes up. They were great!

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.

Sugi is the best!

His pricing always comes in right on point, and he can be trusted to give you straight answers every time - no BS (a rare find in our industry).

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

They sent a friendly and capable electrician to install a new plug unit, and do a few small electrical jobs. The job took a few hours longer than they initially estimated, and to make up for the scheduling confusion they honored their original estimate and waived the costs from the extra work. It's an odd thing to say, but after a bad beginning Micah proved to be exceptionally considerate. I felt very well taken care of. For my future electric needs, it's going to be Micah Electric!

I never received an estimate, and the scheduling process was incredibly frustrating. I reached out through Yelp, sent them my inspection report, then called and texted, and was eventually given a time for a phone call. That appointment came today and no showed. After I followed up by text, I was told, "10 more minutes." Well here, I'm twiddling my thumbs still after 30 minutes. I'm a patient person and understand busy schedules as I work in a service industry with emergencies, delays, and things that don't going according to plan. This, however, is just unprofessional and almost feels like they're trying to deter me away. Unfortunately, I can't recommend a business that doesn't respect its customers. Good luck.
