    200 amp panel

    I couldn't be more pleased with the work of Riskin Electric. First, Avi wired and installed an EV charging station at my home. He just completed upgrading the electric panel from 100 to 200 amp service. Communication and quality of work graded out at A+. Both projects were completed on time and at the original estimated price.

    Found Avi on Yelp.. I'll be honest, I was shopping on yelp trying to get a ballpark of the pricing to install an EV charger and getting permits (home insurance purposes). I contacted 4-5 companies on Yelp and also those on the Tesla recommended list. Those listed on Tesla's website basically made you fill out pages of questionnaires as if you were applying for college. Anyway, Avi was the quickest to respond and the price was very very competitive and fair. He was also willing to go out of his way to get permitting. The process required him to visit the house first to measure the garage and snap a few pics to get the permits pulled. Then once the permits were good to go, he scheduled an appointment to do the install. Install was originally quoted at 1.5-2 hrs. Took him much longer than expected because of some unforeseen circumstances. There was suppose to be conduit exposed, but Avi found another route by opening up the drywall because it was easier to work with. He inspected the panel and found shoddy work done by previous contractors. Also had to rework the panel to fit new tandem breakers. I appreciate his extra care to rewire / splice existing wires to get things to work. Everything was patched up and cleaned after the installation. I just need to touchup the paint to blend everything in. Now I just need to wait for city to send out an inspector. p.s. he does have a few more 5 star yelp reviews which ended up being filtered. Seems like legit reviews that were flagged.

    Avi helped us upgrade the panel for our new house to 200 (and get everything else up to code). He was punctual, good communicator and had a better offer than the other four electrical companies that we had come assess our Pacifica house. He was able to complete the work in two days and made sure we got permit from the city and final work completed by PG&E. I would recommend Avi to all my friends and family without reservation. He even switched the direction of our gate to get up to code!

    Had a positive experience with Max Electric and everything went smoothly. Both the initial…read moreinspection (unfortunately didn't get the name of who did it) and the actual work were great. Rigo did a great job with the 3 things I had done: replacing an electrical panel, replacing 2 light fixtures, and installing a smoke alarm. He was on time, knowledgable, and efficient. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest option around but with something like this, quality and experience matters and they did a great job and handle permits and such. They did exactly what I asked them to do and were responsive over email and able to ask the exact questions they needed which made things seamless. This is not necessarily a bad thing but they could have probably done some kind of "walk through" around the place and found some additional work for me. Upselling is obviously not always a great practice but in my case, there were some things that I wish I had done and I think they could have suggested them and left it up to me to say yes/no to during the initial inspection. For example my kitchen could definitely use at least 1 additional outlet, I should have probably replaced a 3rd light, and so on. I do respect that they don't try to take you on a ride but since it is probably efficient to do things all at once, may have been helpful to discuss (this was also my bad for not noticing these things before). Rigo did a bunch of smaller things that made a big difference too like taking out the packaging for the lights and the old ones as well as the old electrical panel, clearly labeling all the switches very neatly which was not well done before, answering my questions and explaining things in a way that I (someone with little knowledge about most of this stuff) would understand.

    We hired Max Electric for a full knob-and-tube rewire on our home, along with several other…read moreelectrical projects, and the experience was excellent from start to finish! The project did take longer than initially expected due to delays outside of their control, but the quality of the work never wavered. From the beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. They explained what needed to be done, why it mattered, and what to expect at each step, which made a potentially stressful process feel very manageable. Raushan, the project manager, was great to work with and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He was responsive, organized, and always made sure we were informed and comfortable with the plan. Alex, one of the technicians, worked incredibly hard during the rewire and clearly took pride in his work. Bek, another technician, truly went above and beyond - paying close attention to the details and making sure everything was done perfectly, not just "good enough." Beyond the rewire, they handled multiple additional electrical upgrades and fixes around the house, all done cleanly and correctly. What really stood out was trust. Having a crew in your home for a major electrical project isn't easy, but we always felt confident that they had our best interests in mind. No corner-cutting, no unnecessary upsells, just solid, high-quality work. The crew was respectful, showed up when they said they would, and stayed focused until the job was fully complete. I highly recommend Max Electric and would absolutely hire them again!

    We hired Eminent Electrical for a major and expensive project to replace our old knob-and-tube…read moresystem with a brand-new, grounded electrical system. Our top priority was the safety of our home and family as we had a less than a 1 year old at home. What we discovered post-completion was frankly terrifying, and the company's subsequent non-response is completely unacceptable. Alex completely brushed off our concerns Early in the project, we raised concerns when we discovered a cosmetic "shortcut" (a drywall patch done with toilet paper instead of proper material. they literally stuffed toilet paper in the wall then laid joint compound on top). We were personally assured by Alex that even though there were minor appearance issues, they would take absolutely no shortcuts on the actual electrical work. A few months later, while I was installing a simple light fixture, my father and I discovered an unmarked hot wire. In this switch box, a white conductor was being used as the LINE-Hot wire (constantly energized). This unmarked wire could have easily been mistaken for a neutral by anyone working in the box, which could have led to someone getting killed. When I informed Alex, he said I shouldn't be doing wiring, and admitted it should have been taped. He offered to come over and tape the wire (I already did it myself). No apology at all. It feels like they took short cuts throughout the job- if they failed to properly mark a live wire in the first box we opened, we simply cannot trust the integrity of the rest of the expensive rewiring job. When it comes to the safety of your home and family, avoid this company.

The whole process from just asking General questions to installation was seamless. Camille and Steven were great in getting my project setup and ready to go in less than a few days. They were able to send two of their amazing team members Roger and Greg to do the installation. Roger and Greg were respectful to my home, and my wishes. They were extremely professional and weren't running the clock, like I have seen with other companies. These guys knew the complexities of the type of chandelier I had, answered all my questions, and were extremely helpful. For anyone trying to do a large project and even a small one, I would highly recommend Diluzio Inc. We literally did a massive 79" crystal chandelier and a smaller glass globe, and I have to applaud Diluzio Inc. Just a tip for those that shop at RH: Please use Diluzio Inc, most companies can't or will not be able to do RH Chandeliers or light fixtures, but these guys can, and will do the project.

    Look no further, hire Norman for whatever you need done in your home! Best work I hired Norman for…read moreseveral small jobs around the house and would absolutely hire him again. I reached out to several highly rated handymen on Yelp. Norman was the only one who asked a bunch of questions by text, asked for measurements and pictures and videos, told me to buy particular materials and measure/test them and send him pictures, etc in advance to make sure everything would work. His estimate for the work was similar to what others quoted and I appreciated his attention to detail before even arriving so I hired him for the work. With some of the parts of the job, there would have been no way for it to have been done when he was here if Norman hadn't done all this detail-oriented planning in advance. When at my home he told me what was cosmetic and what needed to be fixed to avoid damage. He told me what he wasn't comfortable doing or he didn't think needed to be done. He had creative solutions to making things work (altering a standard closet bracket from Ace hardware to fit in a closet with weird dimensions). He explained what he was doing and why and showed me how to do a few things on my own. He was open to feedback when I was a perfectionist and asked him to go back over an area he had patched/painted. An example of Norman going above and beyond: There was a small crack in the wall I had asked him to patch/paint. While other handymen would have done it and left it at that, Norman investigated to find out the cause (cracked caulk on the outside window pane) and offered to fix it. Very knowledgable, detail-oriented, skilled, and kind. Stop scrolling and bookmarking and hire Norman!

    Norman is great. Quick availability and very respectable demeanor in your home. Norman quoted me…read more$450 to replace my kitchen faucet, fix a leak in my bathroom sink, and re-caulking my bathtub/shower walls. 1/3 of the jobs were fully completed (the kitchen faucet). Norman looked at the bathroom faucet and advised me to get a plumber out to fix it. He went through the work of taking out the cabinet drawer, phoned a plumber friend, but no work could be done by him. Not an issue, I understand a plumber was needed, but the project wasn't completed by him. For the shower re-caulking project, he said the existing grout was an issue so he only caulked the perimeter of the tub and didn't re-caulk the walls. Also not an issue, but the job wasn't completed as intended. Norman still charged me $450. I asked him, "still? Even with the bathroom sink not fixed and the shower not fully re-caulked?" He just looked at me and nodded his head. I paid him the $450 but I don't feel great about it. I feel like there should have been a price adjustment because I agreed to $450 under the impression all 3 projects would have been completed. Kitchen faucet looks great and no leaks. I know Norman is a professional and does solid work.
