Ended up coming out and finishing the job so changing review to 4 stars since the work was done

Insisted upon a $200 deposit then ghosted me. I finally had to walk away and hire someone else. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE GUYS.

I have used him in the past. He told me I need a new electrical panal. He asked me for 50% of the cost. I sent it to him over 6 weeks ago and called him many times. He responded once and said he would come and do the project. That was about 3 weeks ago. I have called him over and over again with no response. He is horrible and dishonest and has not returned the money. Do not trust William Reyes. read more

Scammer!! My father in law hired this company to do some electrical work at his house, paid them $8000 only to have them come one time and then never return. My FIL has been continuously contacting them to no avail. This is very frustrating because my FIL is retired and scraping by only to have scumbags like Willian taking advantage of a senior citizen. read more

This may be the first time I've used Yelp for a home service (I have definitely relied on Yelp for auto), and all I have to say is, thank you Yelp! We contacted William Reyes Lighting to remove our old light fixtures and install three new chandeliers. The job was straightforward but not necessarily easy: one fixture was located on an 18-foot high ceiling, and our dining room wiring needed to be re-positioned for the new chandelier. They also replaced old dimmer switches with new, LED-compatible smart dimmers. Miguel and Jason were top-notch: knowledgable and professional; courteous and friendly; anticipated potential issues and troubleshooted them beforehand; and took the time to do the work properly, without short cuts. We are very particular and yet they accommodated our requests with a patient and positive attitude (adjusting the fixtures many times in the "a little to the left; no, right; no, up a bit more" kind of way), never making us feel pressured to accept the final results until we were happy. They were very respectful of our home and belongings, moving furniture and returning it carefully. They protected the floor with plastic sheeting and properly cleaned up/disposed of their materials. Finally, pricing was very competitive and reasonable, especially for such a job well done! We'll absolutely use them again for future work. read more

Reyes Lighting recently transformed my dark, shadowy loft into a brightly lit electric avenue. In a single day, they installed conduits and ceiling mounts for five overhead light fixtures and a ceiling fan. They even managed to add a new GFCI outlet in the bathroom, all for a price competitively cheaper than older electricians in DTLA. In terms of service, they were quick to provide an estimate and readily available for questions and scheduling over the phone. Their team of electricians were friendly and continued working overtime until the job was complete. The final bill was slightly greater than the estimate, but they were drilling in bare concrete for over eight hours, performing well beyond the call of duty. On a side note, I managed to save a few dollars by equipping my new fixtures with Philips Hue bulbs. I know there's justifiable hesitation about the IoT, but wireless bulbs can be operated without installing additional light switches. As a result, I feel like I've not only saved money but preserved open space on my walls. Bonus! read more

They are a family owned business so you know they are going to take care of you. They are hard working people who get the job done right. They are people who know what they are doing and the kind of people who live by the model measure twice, cut once. read more

I did a mass Yelp request and William was one of many who responded. I can't tell you how happy I am with the service he provided! He always responded to texts and phone calls immediately, there was never any room for misunderstandings or any errors. We found his prices to be fair and will not hesitate to use his services again. He replaced and rewired 8 ceiling lamps and wait for this... When he was done he checked our fuze-box, he literally opened it as I was standing next to him and it smelled like smoke inside. I thought we were over exhausting the electricity and that was the reason why the light kept acting strange BUT NO it was actually melting, basically he kinda saved us from a house fire! read more

A couple of weeks ago I had problems with a short circuit that burned a couple of breakers, and needed a quick repair because I couldn't be without power and William very kindly helped me and did the job quickly meeting our needs. The pricing was surprisingly very good due to the last minute call! read more

We had a great experience with William Reyes Lighting. Jason replied to our inquiry right away, and was able to come out the very next morning to help us. They arrived right on time with their guys, were super courteous, respectful, and knowledgeable, and helped us tremendously toward getting our issue resolved. We will definitely use them again for future electrical needs. read more

Worst experience with electricians I have ever had. Completely unreliable when it comes to scheduling and showing up on time. Confirmed several appointments and got one excuse after another when Jason flaked on me. They finally did the job, (and charged a pretty high price) and after a few days the exit lights that he installed stopped lighting up. After about 20 messages trying to schedule him to come back to see what is going on with the "warranty covered" work that he did, he flaked again, and again (4 times scheduled and he never showed up). Guess I have to pay another electrician to come and fix whatever he did wrong. The only time Jason is reliable with replying to messages is when he is trying to get his money. (which he did promptly). Save yourself the headache and do not use this company. read more

I was in need of electrical work for my new home. After hours of researching with my husband I came across Williams company. They did an amazing job accessing my needs and getting the job done in a timely manner. The communication was very thorough with William. His team was very professional and attentive. I will definitely be recommending them to my family members. I usually don't write reviews unless I am truly impressed. read more

We used them for a simple electric job (LED 6" cans) but they were professional and courteous and priced fairly. They laid down a tarp to keep the area clean which was appreciated. Will definitely use them again and highly rated. read more

Attention to detail! Is just one of the many great qualities that describe William Reyes Lighting! Friendly Staff, honest, great prices and showed up when they said they would and on time! I had William completely upgrade all the electrical in my home. He upgraded my old and outdated service panel to a 240 amp service panel, installed a sub-panel in my garage for my workshop projects and also replaced all the old lighting in my home to the new LED energy saving recessed lighting that looks great! I wouldn't go with anyone else, and I like to say I'm a tough critic. Thank you William for all your hard work and effort you put into my home! read more

Wow! These guys were great! Had a small issue installing some new switches in my bathroom. Was just beyond my scope of knowledge. I contacted them first thing in the morning via Yelp and they were able to meet me over my lunch hour same day! They met me promptly at 12 (I was actually a little late), assessed the problem and quickly got to work. They finished within the hour of my lunch break and can in a little lower than their original quote. Gotta love it! Easy credit card payment on the spot and they were off. Very professional, knowledgeable and even made some suggestions I didn't think about. Very good experience. Happy to have found some reliable electricians! read more

Unreliable I spoke to William twice he never showed up don't waste your time they won't show up

Like some of the other reviewers, I had multiple conversations with Jason via text and phone with him flaking at the last minute 3 different times. And then he just stopped responding altogether. I can't attest to his actual skills since I ended up scheduling with a different electrician but I wouldn't recommend them simply for their unreliability. Very frustrating and unprofessional. read more

I had William Reyes Lighting come out and give me an estimate, along with many other contractors. William was friendly, professional and most off all...cost effective. He and his staff were fast and didn't cut any corners. Throughout the whole job, they made me feel as though my satisfaction was number one. In this day of age, where many people are treated as numbers, they definitely stand out by putting their customers first! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND William Reyes Lighting. Thanks again, guys! Keep up the great work! read more

See all

Unfortunately have to add to the bad reviews. They did our whole house and I've been finding one issue after the other. We just found a switch that had no ground connected which I had other electricians correct- the fan it was connected to was continuously tripping up. The last time they were scheduled to come work on our business location they no showed and never answered the phone again. Also, they put different color switches and everything is mismatched almost pieces together in our house. Not only that, they never installed proper gfis in our kitchen which is against code. I wasn't going to write this review but after me having to bring out yet another electrician to correct sloppy work I felt it was necessary. They will flake and don't do honest work. They also miss matched our can lights. I told them we wanted all halo and they used an off brand recessed light with a halo trim instead of halo and halo. read more

William did some work for us, the initial work was good. However, I soon found switches he worked on not wired to the right places, lights we purchased from him and installed by him didn't work, and he never followed through with replacing them as he had "guaranteed". His company is extremely flaky when it comes to appointments. They missed over a dozen appointments with us. We're still waiting for work to be finished from a year ago. In the beginning I had recommended him to a friend and he flaked on them as well, no call no show. I'd recommend looking elsewhere if you want the job to be completed in full. read more

This isn't a good guy. Get your lighting done by another company. I've seen him talking shit in a Facebook private group. He's got a superiority complex and he's toxic, you don't want this guy in your house, or near your kids. read more

Responded quickly, gave estimate quickly, installed quickly and cleanly. Overall, great experience. Will surely refer to William and his team for future projects. Thanks, William and team! read more

Great experience. They were the first to reply and came out to scope out my job. Upgraded my main panel. It was a big job but their crew was on time and professional. Nice organized work vans which reflects nicely on their overall professionalism. They supplied the other crew I had working with temp power while they did their work. I've got myself a new electrician! read more
