Have used Valiant twice and both times they did excellent work, even once diagnosing and fixing a problem that vexed a different electrician. They always respond quickly and come out promptly - I intend to use them for all of my electrical needs going forward. read more

I had the pleasure of working with William from Valiant for the second time. Swapped out some light switches, checked over our breakers, gave me indispensable advice, and powered my smart doorbell. I'm happy to say my first experience a few years ago was not a fluke. This company is great and I highly recommend them! read more

Our circuit breaker and kitchen light was having issues so we needed an electrician right away! I requested a price quote through Yelp. I received quote from many companies, but Valiant Home Repair responded very quickly. There were able to schedule me right away! My appointment was at 8am. Two electricians arrived at my home and I was happy they arrived early. They looked at my kitchen light and noticed nothing was wrong with the wire or power. The issues was the branch made by the manufacturer and advised to purchase a new light fixture to save money. They purchased the new breaker at Home Depot and made the repairs very quickly. They were very nice and knowledgeable. I like the fact they don't pressure you to pay more by giving you options to save money. Valiant will definitely be my contact for future electrical repairs. read more

Very professional and prompt to my request for some electrical repairs. Valiant was able to come out in a timely manner, provided great service, solved my issues! Pricing was fair and transparent. I would recommend them and absolutely would come back to Valiant for future projects. 5 stars all around. read more

Electricity went out in one room. Requested consultation on Yelp. William and Owen were prompt, courteous, and professional. They were able to diagnose the cause of the problem and fixed it same day. $845 well spent. They had to open a part of the drywall and recommended the correct part from Home Depot to cover the hole. 5 stars. read more

I wasn't expecting a company that specializes in electrics to work on something as trivial as bird repellant, by Alex and Mo showed up on time, were very courteous, and got the job done quickly. They also came with their own masks and gloves, which is much appreciated during these Covid times. I would definitely use Valiant again. read more

Just a heads up... they are busy enough so that they want to charge $150 for an inspection of our house before they would provide a quotation for the laundry list of minor work we need (ground outlets, add 1 outside outlet, add 1 indoor outlet, replace door bell circuit, and replace exterior front door light). Yes, the inspection charge is refundable if we accept their bid, but... I know the trades are in high demand right now, but I think paying $150 to get a quotation is a practice I do not want to reward read more

Did great work. We had a short in a light fixture that meant a lot of our lights were out. They came out with little notice on a Saturday, checked every light fixture to isolate the problem and had it solved in 2 hrs. read more

I requested quote for installation of nema 14-50 charging outlet at home and I got quick response from the team, after I provided some photos of the installation site, they gave me the quote and got appointment set up. The team arrived on time. They firstly addressed and answered questions from my concern, I really appreciate it. They finished the work with excellent quality and professionalism. They wear masks the whole time and follow health protocol. I highly recommend and will definitely rehire them for future project read more

Valiant Construction has been my life saver for all my electrical needs. John is very responsive, they get out to you quickly, and they make the necessary repairs at a reasonable price. As an added benefit, John is quite honest and will inform you on what should be done immediately and what can wait. I don't even look for electricians these days, I just send John a message on Yelp. read more

Valiant had the lowest estimate by far (about $1k lower than other electricians), which would normally be a red flag, but because I was 98% confident that this job was much simpler than the bids I was getting I went with them. In other words, bonus points to Valiant for correctly assessing the job via my description and photos. The job was to replace a 240 receptacle with two 120 receptacles and put them on separate breaker circuits. Parts would be new 20A breakers and two GFCI receptacles. Job would definitely take less than an hour. Valiant did exactly that! They were able to show up on relatively short notice and banged the job out in short order. Additionally, the two person crew were super friendly and professional (and were always masked up in my presence). They explained everything very clearly and offered many opportunities to hear my questions. I'd def use these folks again and recommend them for sure. read more

I am 1000% satisfied with the service provided by Valiant. I inquired about electrical services because 75% of the switches and outlets stopped working and I was unable to troubleshoot the problem by myself. Valiant sent out electricians/rock stars Bill and John within two hours of my inquiry. At a very reasonable service rate, they were able to pinpoint the problem spot, which was the absolute last place I would've considered. Throughout the troubleshooting process, they were respectful, communicated clearly, and fixed the issue within 2 hours, all the while keeping the areas tidy. They even provided guidance on how wiring works so that I don't run my outlets afoul again. Now, all the lights and power sources are restored in my home and I'm extremely happy because my wife and I are no longer taking showers in the dark. read more

Bill and John installed the ring doorbell at my house, they were early, professional, and did an outstanding job. The is over 100 years old and it needed professional electricians. I would recommend Valiant to anyone! Thank you gentlemen. read more

My electric was going on and off and I messaged these guys around 9:30pm. They returned to my message, gave me a call, and told me the price. They are really fast and know what they are doing. They saved me $1400 by just shortening the length of the wires. They are great people. You should definitely work with them. read more

All of a sudden, yesterday there were sparks and a burning smell coming out of my kitchen outlet. The first thing that I did was to shut off power from the main panel. I want to thank Valiant Home Repair from Yelp. The manager was prompt on responding to my Yelp message within an hour or so. I want to give a shout out to Bill and John for helping us during the time we needed an outlet replaced. Both techs came with masks and maintained their distance. They were both knowledgeable and appreciate with all the information they provided us. My piece of advice is that you can rely on this company and their techs are very helpful. They were ready to answer any questions or concerns we had. read more

The team at Valiant is very professional and timely. John T. responded to my request for a price quote within 10 minutes of sending out a request on yelp. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions. I was able to get a technician to come out the next morning. Bill was the technician that showed up, on time. He showed up wearing a mask and kept it on the entire time. I appreciate his consideration for safety during this time. He was great to explain everything thoroughly. He went over the details at least twice to make sure I understood what he was doing and any obstacles he encountered. He made sure everything was working properly and cleaned up everything. He was very polite and professional. I totally recommend Valiant for all your home repair needs and I would definitely use them again. read more

Highly recommend. John and team did some Ethernet wiring, switch repair and replacements, and installed a Ring Elite doorbell on my outdoor gate. They're very fast and easy to work with. The Ring installation was awesome - they found a custom solution so we didn't have to cut a hole in the wall. I tried many online forums and suppliers but couldn't find a solution as neat as theirs. Their background is in working with commercial real estate so they understand high quality finishing and reliability! read more

From the first, booking Valiant was great. John (the manager) was very communicative and immediately provided some time slots and an estimate, and sent a reminder through Yelp the day before the electricians came. The electricians Bill and John were so efficient, thorough and courteous. They came early, were wearing masks and super respectful. I asked them to come and change a socket at the back of our garden which doesn't work. When they needed to test the breaker, Bill called me on my phone to make sure that they could turn off power. I asked them to wait for a break in our call schedule (we are all working from home and on Zoom calls all the time) and they figured out which circuits they could turn off safely so it would not affect our internet router. After they were done, they explained to me what they had done and showed me the part they had replaced. They also asked me if I had any questions. Great service, will definitely call them for electrical work in the future! read more

These guys are amazing. I made an appointment for 8am, they were here at 7:55am. The called the day before to check in and confirm the appointment. They provided a more reasonable estimate than anyone else, stuck to it and finished the job quickly. Definitely 10/10 and will recommend to anyone. Keep up the great work. read more

Excellent customer service! They replied fast and came out same day! I had called 20 other electricians and no one would come out! They found the issue, fixed it, and I'm very happy with their service! Will use again if needed! read more

Valiant installed a NEMA 14-50 outlet for my Tesla charging. They were efficient and provided quality work. Done in 2 hours. Also very competitive pricing. Highly recommend! read more

We hired John and his team to do a new kitchen backsplash but I explained that it would need to be done carefully (expensive Muir marble backsplash) and properly, with the re-patching of the dry wall from ripping out the old backsplash, proper caulking, proper sealing near the kitchen sink, being careful with the electrical outlets and making sure that the brand new cabinets were properly covered to insure they weren't scuffed. John assured us that all of this would be taken care. Here are the photos of the work John's team did and he had the audacity to tell me it was done "professionally" when clearly the sloppy and unprofessional work speaks for itself. Broken pieces, all electrical outlets left completely crooked, caulking was messy, uneven areas, left hanging wires...etc. It was a nightmare and I was shocked John asked me for payment with all these issues/unfinished work. He kept promising he would make things right and that customer satisfaction was top priority and not to worry but ultimately he kept making excuses and didn't make things right. I'd respect a company who owns up to and accepts mistakes, and takes accountability but his refusal to do so and then promising me a "nice discount" and not following through with that either, has pushed me to the point where I will need to move forward with legal action. So please be aware and don't get taken advantage of. read more

I'm very impressed with Valiant construction's excellent service offered from beginning to end. For the past 10 years, it's been a challenge to replace smoke detectors batteries located on high ceilings ( ~ 24 feet high). William, Owen, and their team have done great job and successfully replaced all of them with 10-year lithium battery. Amazing team work. Thank you William, Owen, and team!!! read more

We needed quick help with a light switch that stopped working and assessing a faulty doorbell and Valiant Home Repair was here in an hour on a Saturday. They replaced the switch and gave us advice on our options for the doorbell. Thank you, Valiant team for your professionalism and prompt service! read more

Bill and John did an OUTSTANDING job!! They showed up right on time, wearing masks, and got right to work. They replaced a light fixture on a high ceiling, above our staircase. Went the extra mile assembling my new fixture, and checking in with me throughout the process to make sure it was at an appropriate height level. In speaking with them, I asked advise about a couple of future projects, and they were super knowledgeable. I asked if they could check out what type of recessed lighting we have, as that's next on our list. They quickly did that, and now I know what I need to purchase. The second part of the visit was to replace old smoke detectors with new ones that also detect CO2. The quote was the best, extremely reasonable, and didn't require an in-person visit. Bill and John moved through the tasks quickly, professionally, taking time to explain things to me. They cleaned up after themselves, were polite and just really great. I will ask for them next time by name, and you should too! read more

Electric Fortress International - Taking us into the 21st century, and leaving 1998 behind - Electricians Near Me - San Lorenzo, California

Good News: Responded very quickly (same day as request was made) - I was very clear that I needed 30 outlets and 10 machine power cords wired at a commercial site (mostly 110 and some 220). Three people showed up on Sunday - Yeah! We were under a time crunch. Bad News: NONE of them knew what they were doing Bad News: They immediately started up charging every outlet Bad News: We sent them home after 2 hours and 10 outlets were installed Poor Practice: They charged for the full job as quoted even though they did not complete their side of the agreement (e.g. left after 2 hrs and did not complete the work). Seems like they were looking for the opportunity to bilk someone in a bind rather than help someone in a bind. read more

I must say I couldn't be more happier with Valiant Construction. Due to the heat my home electricity went out and I did everything I could to reset my electrical panel, but no luck at all. I called PG&E and they informed me that it wasn't from the utility company and advised me to call an Electrician. I was fortunate to find Valiant Construction available after business hours to assist me. They are very prompt in their response time, extremely knowledgeable, and very professional. They managed to come by home within the hour and get my entire home back up and running. They truly saved my family and I from heat exhaustion and I will definitely use them for any and all electrical issues I have. My utmost gratitude goes out to the techs that were at my property today, William and Owen you both were phenomenal and I will make sure everyone in my neighborhood remembers your names and the company you work for. To all who needs an Electrician look no further than Valiant Construction. read more

House electricity died late afternoon of Christmas Eve. Sent quote request on Yelp and John T. Responded within 10min. Technician came out within an hour my request. William was very informative with the process. Checked the fuses and main switched. Fixed my bathroom switch .... Thank Goodness . William had us doubled checked all the lights in the house before he left. I never received a fast and reliable team. Thank you for fixing our Christmas. read more

Hired company to do install of new wood underneath the overhang of the roof, started out good, gentleman that they subcontracted out to were nice and explained a lot. Work was completed timely and off they went. I show up home from work one day and all of the wood literally is laying on the ground having collapsed from the ceiling! I look around trying to figure out what happened, these guys used the smallest gauge, shortest staples, one per board, to hold up these pieces!!!! I can laugh now but no wonder they fell apart! So I do what everyone would do, I immediately call the guy that installed which is where I found out they subcontracted out, he tells me to call the company so I do. I tell them what happened and John replies "We would be more than delighted to provide you a quote in order to get that repaired for you as soon as possible". seriously?? No I'm sorry this happened, or we apologize our work didn't hold up, he wants to give me a quote to fix the work his company did! He says, they have a 7 day warranty in the fine print and the time period is outside of that. Now, this is absolutely on me that I chose a company that has a 7 DAY WARRANTY, my fault completely. How stupid of me. Either these guys are running a great scheme or it's just flat out incompetence that they did the work how I described. You make the call, I'm just providing the reality of my situation. read more

I submitted a quotation request here on Yelp and Valiant replied immediately. Manager John asked me a few questions (e.g. location of breaker, distance of breaker to installation and asked for pictures.) Right after, I received the estimate. The whole conversation was seamless and fast. We started messaging on Saturday and the licensed Electricians were able to come out the following day. William and Owen arrived and finished on time. Both were very professional, friendly, polite and very knowledgeable of their craft. They provided me with a summary of the work that was done and answered all of my questions. They even assisted me with connecting my wall charger to wifi and upgrading the software. Nonetheless, I am very satisfied with their work and professionalism. Most importantly, the estimate provided is exactly what I paid for. I would like to thank the whole team for making this such a stress free and pleasant experience. I would highly recommend. read more

They fixed what needed fixed. They arrived early. They communicated with us well. Couldn't ask for more.

This review is little past due but I gotta say William and Owen were truly the best. The half of the house was out of electricity where kids rooms were and I needed to be fixed quickly as possible. The valiant home repair was the first one to respond on yelp and was able to send people to our house that day. William and Owen were very professional and very transparent with their work. They gave me detailed info on what went wrong with the circuit breaker and they fixed it quick! William and Owen are very reliable and honest workers!!!! Definitely will be calling back if anything were to happen in future!!! read more

They also assured me that Valiant staff are available 24-7 and I will be using their services again if I have another emergency like this! read more

I have contracted with many different home service providers through Yelp (and elsewhere) over the last 20 years. I don't write many reviews, but I had to take the time to write a well-deserved review for William and Owen! In short, they are wonderful! Within an hour after I requested a quote on Yelp, William and Owen were already at my house doing the work. They swapped out two outdoor outlets within about 30 minutes. They then diagnosed problems with great care and recommended next steps to replace an outdoor motion-detecting light fixture and the main ceiling light fixture in one of our bedrooms. They know their stuff and go out of their way to help in any way they can. They are also extremely polite and respectful. I'm so happy with their service that I'm immediately heading out to buy the 2 replacement light fixtures so that they can install those ASAP! Do not hesitate to hire Valiant. Spectacular! read more
