He had also let go one of the workers who had done my electrical. After making an appointment to come out the following week, I sent him my list of things that needed to be fixed, detailed in my original review. As promised, Chris came out on Monday. He was on time--even early--friendly and courteous. Chris made some recommendations on how to fix some of the problems, did the work, and also saved the day with some quick thinking. He also changed out a motion detector switch to a regular one even though it was out of scope. Steve himself came out and we smoothed things over. I was happy to have the work completed quickly and even talked to him about coming back to install a new light over my dining table. Although I would have preferred the work had been done properly originally, Steve takes pride in his work and I know he felt bad that there had been issues. I understand when family matters come up, and I told him as much. However, I do think he should have left an outgoing voice message explaining that he was taking time off and would not be returning calls for an extended amount of time. I was actually about to hire another electrician to fix all the problems, so I would been pretty upset if I had done so only to have Steve contact me afterward. ***ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW*** My initial experience with Steve and John, who were recommended by my contractor, was good. However, I've now left two messages this year for Steve asking him to come back and fix small issues that came up within weeks of my moving back into my remodeled home: canned light went out, dimmer makes a buzzing noise, smoke alarm fell off my master bedroom ceiling. And the big one: fans in both baths come on when heat/air does and not necessarily when they should. I.e., when I'm showering and the bathroom steams up. I'm sure all of these problems are easy to fix, so I'm frustrated that I've left two very polite messages (one on Steve's cell phone; one at the shop) and still haven't received a call back in over two weeks. I spent more than $10k with Southwest and thought Steve and John were very professional and helpful during the remodel. I think it's very unprofessional now for Steve to not follow up on these issues that I've documented through date-stamped photos. I think it's interesting that the majority of these 5-star reviews for Southwest are from people who don't write many reviews. This can be a sign of business owners asking for favorable reviews in return for providing a discount. If you're researching electricians or any other businesses on Yelp, I recommend doing your homework. Just because the business has 5-star reviews does not mean they truly are a 5-star business.

The fuse box and the garage were at the hypotenuse, making travel in the crawl-space the longest of possible lines. He described his squeezes between ducts and footings with Zen-ease. He was neat and respectful of the property and was attentive to other electrical concerns about the home. I am grateful to have worked with a 5 star professional electrician who is in business for himself and who can give direct-to-customer prices. Someone in another review said he was a very nice fellow; indeed, a very nice fellow who happens to be a very nice electrician. I will use his services again when needed.

David took the call and after I explained the circumstances, assured me he would take care of the matter immediately by calling PG&E and sending Carlos out to investigate the issue. It would have been very easy after a long week to let the late Friday afternoon call go to voicemail and handle it on Monday, leaving us to worry about the issue all weekend. Carlos arrived within 15 minutes, investigated the issue, ensured everything was safe, and referred the matter to David, who provided a quote on Monday to replace the entire electrical panel and obtain all permits on our behalf. He reassured us that all would be fine. Once the permits were secured, the Pleasure Point Electric team arrived, installed the new panel, coordinated with PG&E to restore power, and obtained the City permit with no issues. This company is a fine example of a local business that operates professionally with honesty, integrity, and fair pricing. The work was spot on and David and his team were very professional and personable. We are grateful to have found Pleasure Point Electric and highly recommend them.

I used Yelp to request quotes from electricians in my area and All About Electric was the first to respond (within minutes!) They quoted me a fair price, and scheduled an appointment for me. They communicated clearly via Yelp and text message which I appreciated. On the day of installation, everything went well. The electrician wore a mask and shoe covers the entire time which I really appreciated. He was professional and friendly, and most importantly did a great job replacing my old exhaust fan (my old fan was really tricky to remove and there's no way I could have gotten it out myself without a special saw, which thankfully the electrician had). My newly installed bathroom fan looks great and works much more efficiently than my old one. My husband and I are very satisfied. Highly recommend All About Electric!
