I would not recommend Gordon or work with him again. As a landlord and property investor with more than 20 years of experience, I've worked with many contractors, and this was one of the worst experiences I've had. Throughout the project, Gordon was difficult to work with. He frequently failed to show up as scheduled, communication was often confrontational, and routine discussions too often turned into arguments. The quality of the work was also a significant concern. I later discovered that some of the electrical work had not been completed correctly, including wiring that was not properly routed through a junction box before connecting to the main electrical system. Even basic items, such as failing to label electrical circuits, were identified by the city inspector during the inspection. Before the project was complete, I had to replace Gordon with another contractor at my own expense. The project ultimately ended with Gordon leaving before completing the work, despite having already been paid for a portion of it. I was left to hire another contractor to finish the job and absorb the additional cost. Based on my experience, I would not hire Gordon again or recommend his services. read more

I hired Gordon and his son to come add in and install a 220 V electrical outlet in my garage. He answered the original request immediately and gave me a very fair price. He was able to schedule the service within two days of my request which is pretty amazing compared to the other responses I was getting. Upon arrival they were extremely professional arrived on time and did a great job with the service. I would definitely hire them again for electrical work and would recommend them! read more

I'd like to write an excellent review for Peebles Electric because they do good work, however, I have to say that he's very hard to reach and promised a typed description of the work done that I can use when I go to sell the house, and he never did it ! His hand writing and descriptions are difficult to read and I'm going to have do the work he promised me myself. I don't think he should promise to do something and not follow through. I'm going to leave a two star review until the work is completed. read more

Amazing service! I contacted them through Nextdoor. They responded immediately and were at my house within the hour! Problem (a faulty receptacle ) was quickly replaced, a super pleasant repairman and a fair price. I will use them again. read more

Please steer clear of this business. I've received all the same excuses and responses as all other bad reviews. I was personally scammed by the owner of Peebles electric service for a large deposit of six thousand dollars. His phone number is no longer active and is flat out untrustworthy. AVOID this business at all cost. read more

So sorry to post, but I had an apt with Peebles Electric and they did not show. Apt was scheduled more than 7 days in advance. Unable to connect by phone or text. Will have to contact someone else. read more

I do not recommend hiring Gordon. Especially when his license has expired on 12/31/2021. He started off great. He knows his stuff and can definitely talk. He did a small job for me fine but when it came to installing recessed lighting, he bailed 5 times on me. ( once due to illness and once due to delay from other work supposedly). He even had me get the permit because they supposedly charge him more for (not true). He was very unhelpful during this time and the permit failed twice. The second fail, he even tried talking to them and said he understood what needed to be sent only for it to fail. Then later pulls out the "this is why contractors pull the permit" card when this was all his idea. This was stressful but glad the permit was under my name so switching around was easy. If you do hire him, I caution the payment. Pay him in full AT THE END. He charged me $600 upfront for deposit, 500 initial, 500 after. I only paid him $600 (not to be seen anymore), and by the 5th bail, I didn't even want him to do the work. He doesn't contact me back, just flat out ignored me. Oh, and lastly, one of the bailed reasons was because the shipment didn't get to the store....what kind of professional doesn't have all the materials prepared ahead of time? That's rediculous. read more

I join the chorus of Highly Recommend. One of my ancient hard-wired smoke detectors started failing at midnight, and chirped all night. Fortunately, it didn't go all out, but still . . . And I figured if one was failing, the others would follow. I called at 6 this morning, Gordon was here by 11:30, and it was all taken care of within two hours. Very professional and efficient. read more

Mr. Peebles is one of the best in this town, bar none! We were impressed with his work and demeanor. Laid back but efficient! Well organized in the manner in which he worked, as well. AND! His costs were half of what practically everyone else was charging around here; without licenses. He is a licensed electrician, as well. read more

Gordon and his son came right out to fix an electrical line that was damaged by our Landscaper. We didn't have power for our frig in the garage, garage door & lights. We lost over $200 in food. We went on NextDoor asking for suggestions on Electrician. Peebles Electric Service popped up with a few others. Gordon answered our request with a few minutes of posting it. They were going to come out on Saturday, but asked if they could come right over. After trouble shooting the problem, it turned into a fairly easy fix. Thanks to these two we were up and running with 2 hours of our request for a electrician. We will use them again. read more

I am here warning you not to do any further business with Gordon Peebles Electric. Gordon came to my home in Maxwell Park and made a bid on attic rewiring job. He told me it was a two day job. Then i sent him $250 PayPal. He complained irrationally about how much he hates PayPal. And then insisted i send him the deposit through Zelle. I asked him to reverse the extra payment to PayPal, and he told me that it cannot be done by him (not true). I have entered a dispute with PayPal and should hopefully get a refund. He showed up day one, but only went and bought materials. Next day he came looked at the job and insisted that it was way more work than he had estimated. And left after about one hour. After that he told me he would come back Wed. He did not. Then he told me he would return Thursday. He did not. Then after not responding to my phone calls and texts, he said that it was just a typographical error and he meant Friday. At that point, i could no longer make sense of his words and behavior. He began to complain that i had misread the situation ! After several strange texts he told me he would be returning my funds, we agreed to cancel the job. But he has not returned my deposits on the job. Claiming that he never got them. I now understand that it is near impossible to recover funds from Zelle pay. No recourse. Folks, don't ever hire this man. His personality is abrasive and manipulative. And never pay by Zelle, or any app that does not allow you to dispute the transaction. read more

An amazing company with amazing service. After talking with so many electricians and having a runaround, Gordon was able to skillfully solve my issue in a very thorough manner. I could not be happier with his work. Looking forward to working with you again! read more

He responded and scheduled an 11- noon window but never showed, never called or texted. I contacted him numerous times by phone and text with no response. We stayed home the entire day waiting for his response and unfortunately had visitors who would have loved to get out and enjoy the Bay Area. Don't depend this company. read more

Mr Peebles is a treasure! Quick response and super efficient. Didn't just fix it but tested all sorts of things. - including going in the crawl space! - to find the actual cause of the problem. Highly recommend! read more

We've talked about having some electrical work done in our garage for years...and then we needed it done! We found Gordon of Peebles Electric on Nextdoor and reached out. He called me within 30 minutes and we set-up an estimate time. The work was done the next day for half the cost of another quote, and done well...exactly what we wanted done. Gordon, and his son, were both professional, knowledgeable, and efficient, and the price was very fair. He's also a very interesting person to talk to :-). Will use Peebles Electric Services going forward, and can highly recommend! read more

We were initially delighted with Peebles Electric, but over the course of a couple of jobs we found things that made us unhappy and led to us not trusting them anymore. We started with a fantastic garage lighting / outlet install and panel upgrade (minus one no-show) and kind of slid downhill from there. 1. Several times we were canceled on with no call or a very late one. (Usually due to a broken down truck.) We have demanding jobs and taking a day off to meet with a contractor puts pressure on both our family and our teams. Not hearing (despite many phone calls) whether someone is actually going to show up, is unacceptable. 2. A tablet went missing from our bar on a day the team were in the house alone. We can't prove who took it. (We have now installed cameras.) We do, however, know exactly where it was in the middle of the day and where it wasn't by the end, because we had a photo of its location. Later on Gordon contacted us saying he felt bad about it going missing and wanted to reimburse, but we never responded. I don't know how you invite someone back into your house after something has gone missing. 3. Our recessed lights in our kitchen were flush on the day of install but have gradually slipped and are no longer flush with the ceiling. We feel like we've given a series of chances to Gordon and his team but now need to seek another electrician. My husband and I frequently remark that we wish it had have worked out. We have a ton more work to do on our house. We were really hoping after that first job, that we were on to a winner we could keep and recommend forever. read more

It is said that the first impression is the best impression. Well, this was the worst first impression to date! I scheduled an on site quote that was going to be performed by Gordan (that's who I was in contact with). Mr. Gordan gave me a window of 4:00-4:30pm; that's the time he gave me so that he could complete the quote. He text me after 4pm and said that he wouldn't arrive until 6:30pm. That was okay because I understand he could have gotten busy. HOWEVER, it is now 7:00pm and Mr. Gordan still is not here (it is now the close of a business day for the company), he never called and he never text to say he wasn't coming. I tried to patronize this business but that won't happen now. I waited on your services and you never came through nor did you communicate otherwise! This is a very sure way to lose credibility. Thank you, Jerry B. read more

Gordon is absolutely an excellent electrician!!! I wish I would have hired him from the start! My previous electrician had messed up and not gotten a permit for 10 months. Luckily the old electrician was able to get the panel upgrade to pass inspection and felt the need to perform some free work due to the long delay. the previous electrician had wired up my hot tub in a way that would have energized the hot tub and potentially not responded to a ground fault. Thanks to Gordon he fixed this issue at a very reasonable price! Gordon and his company provide very fast flexible scheduling. I would Highly recommend him to anyone. So here is what impressed me with his company: - Fast, easy, and flexible scheduling - Very reasonably priced - He takes pride in his work by cleaning up after himself and his work spaces If it was possible for me to give him 10 stars I would!!! Absolutely Impressed!!!! read more

Fast, competent, personable, and reasonable. Recently, we had a power interruption and needed to get back on line FAST -- came within about an hour, located the problem in about 15 minutes; and restored service 10 minutes after that -- cost was VERY reasonable. read more

I called and talked to Gordon. We made an arrangement for him to come over but he didn't show up. He didn't even call or let us know. We called him multiple times and never got a reply. I don't recommend this place !!!! read more

Disappointing experience. Sorry, Gordon, but I have to be honest. The only thing that stopped me from giving him a 1-star is that he gave me a first time customer 15% discount. 1) I had him install the under cabinet lighting in my kitchen. However, the bottom side of my cabinet ended up getting scratched with his electric screw driver when he gouged a hole for the wires. 2) He missed to buy a part to install my chandelier and he had me run to the hardware store to get it because he had another appointment he would be late for if he had to do it himself. I just really wanted everything to be done so I just went ahead and got it but no paying customer should be subjected to that inconvenience! No one! I basically had to leave him and his other guy alone in my place which really made me feel very uncomfortable!! 3) I asked him if he could raise the chandelier a little more since I saw that he still could. He insisted that it could no longer be raised but I continued to insist because I knew I was right. He gave me attitude and told me not to tell him how to do his job! Wow! He did end up being able to raise it up as I had expected he could. Shocker! 4) After everything that happened, I still wanted to give him another chance. So, I made an appointment with him to replace my leaking shower heads. He didn't show up and he was the one who confirmed the time! I had to cancel a personal appointment just to wait for him.. Only for him to stand me up! I called him, texted him and emailed him. Never heard from him. No apologies, no anything! Customers deserve better treatment than this. I strongly do NOT recommend this guy. read more

I have used Gordon on several jobs for my clients and he has never failed to provide professional and excellent service. He is courteous, professional and honest. He did the work quickly and with a polished look. Mr. Peebles will continue to be my electrician of choice.I have worked with many others but none have demonstrated the professionalism and courtesy to his clients as Mr. Peebles. Also his pricing was very reasonable compared to others who are not as professional nor polished in their completed work. read more

Gordon is an amazing and meticulous Electrician. He is an honest guy that provides quality and flexible services for an excellent price. I am making sure to call him for my next electrical project! Thanks again Gordon! read more

I found Gordon because he was working on a job next door. We needed some general work done and he quickly took a look at it and sent us a reasonable quote within 24 hours. His work was excellent. He has taken the time to suggest some other work that needs to be done over the course of the year. I like the fact that he sends written estimates and works quickly and very well. He's courteous, pleasant and honest. read more

I recently used Gordon for two small electrical projects. He completed the work as promised and on time. His rates were reasonable. He is pleasant to deal with seemed to know his craft well. I will definitely use Peebles again as electrical need arise. Jim P. read more

Peebles Electric Service responded to my call very quickly, arrived on time, and was able to find and resolve my electrical issue. He was easy to work with and had very reasonable prices. I have rental properties in Hayward and I plan to use this company for all of my electrical needs. I recommend this company very highly. read more

Owning an older rental home means continual upgrade if you want to keep the present/future tenant happy and the home in manageable condition. We have this place in west county and it was in urgent need of an electrical panel box, the one that links your utilities to PG and E. It is not for moonlighting types or handymen to come in and fix it. You need a professional electrician that understands the local permits and what is needed to coordinate with PG and E. I was fortunate to get hold of Peebles Electric and was able to speak to the owner, Gordon. We agreed on a very reasonable price on the phone. He was pleasant to talk to and he followed the schedule as promised. On surface, it seems like a simple exchange of boxes but it is not and it took a day or two to get the wiring and everything ready and that is why it is relatively expensive. I was happy with his work and will definitely talk to him for other electrical work. read more

I called Peebles on a Sunday morning at 8:45am when my microwave wouldn't start up. I knew it was an electrical problem because the fridge and toaster were also not working at first but began running after I tripped the ground switch (?, something I learned from Google). Gordon answered which surprised me because his hours are listed at 1-6pm and said he could swing by between 12 and 12:15pm. I also asked him if he could also install our new chandelier which had been sitting in its box for about 4 weeks (couldn't get an electrician to come out). He showed up promptly at 12:07pm and assessed my situation. The microwave was an easy fix and he instructed me on what to do the next time it happened. The chandelier installation was equally smooth. He removed the 80's style chandelier that was there when we bought the house and installed our new modern chandelier. Because the clamp was a little smaller than the original, there was about 1/4 inch of old green paint that was apparent. Gordon offered to touch up the paint using some we had in the garage so that it was a seamless transition. The chandelier looks great and I just heated up my lunch in the microwave. I will definitely call Peebles for any electrical we need done. He also has a GC business and we will definitely consider using his team for our imminent bathroom remodel. read more

Peebles Electric Service is an owner-operated business. Gordon Peebles has 30 years of experience as an electrician and I'm so happy that I found him. I needed a stove top repaired for a rental property and was referred to Gordon by someone who regularly works with him, and he did a wonderful job at a reasonable cost. He gave me a quote up front, ordered parts, and repaired the stove. I was on a deadline for an inspection and he made sure that the job was completed in time for the inspection. I recommend Gordon Peeples services as an electrician based on his courteous, knowledgeable, and fast service. His business is based in Hayward, but he is willing to travel all over the Bay Area. read more

Recently I had a remodel done incorrectly and the contractor forgot to tie in my garage with the existing electrical. Gordon came by and gave me an estimate which was really reasonable and also advised me that I should upgrade the circuit to a 240 volt circuit. Gordon showed up on time ready to work . Service was prompt courteous and done professionally. I had no problems with him and I would readily use him again. read more

I found a great electrickan. For future needs on electric or remodeling, I will definitely call Gordon Peeble. Him and his assistant were expeditious in getting the job done in a manner that was least intrusive. Thanks Gordon! read more
