5 star rating for their customer support! While we ended up not having a need for in home support; the end to end customer experience we did get  was very positive.

The phone call to their office was received by a kind and genuinely helpful receptionist. Pricing was clearly communicated & very reasonable for the home service call which we ended up not needing.  Shortly after calling in to schedule we received a call from the electrician to offer us support for a problem we experienced when trying to repair our garbage disposal that caused the power to go out in our home. Call back we received was from a very kind and polite man - Thank you for the great customer support and positive experience with your company! We will be sure to use you in the future for all our electrical needs.

The Good: Service with Victor
Victor came on estimate day to get an idea of what needed to be done to install a video doorbell camera and floodlight for the backdoor. I ended up not needing setup for the doorbell, so only the camera with floodlight was setup. He did the job well in about 1.5 hrs, which is what I expected.

The Bad: Customer Service and Scheduling
I originally messaged the business to get a quote and estimate for how much the job would cost. My misunderstanding that when they come to give an estimate, they actually charge by the hour instead of it being a 5-10 min visit like other companies. I obliged to pay Victor for the visit, but was not expecting to.

Scheduling for the actual job was a fiasco. I was looking to schedule a late morning appt, but could not be promised a time frame as they seem to schedule jobs after each other rather than by time. I chose to do an 8 am for a more guaranteed time per Marcie.

Come day of appt (Tue, Sep 6 as noted in the screenshot), I hadn't heard from Victor by 8:15 so I sent a message and called at 8:30. I'm guessing Nadav answered, but he said that my appt was for Wed, Sep 7. Instead of apologizing for the scheduling error, he said that they get a lot of inquiries on Yelp so they get mixed up and they prefer to call for established customers. They never notified me of that.

Ok so now it's Wed at 8 am (also in screenshot) and Victor still has not shown up by 8:35 am. I called and said that if he did not show up by 8:45, then I would have to cancel the appt. Victor got here at 8:44. So much for a guaranteed time.

We've been using Adary for years.  Nabav Adary handled a very difficult chandelier wiring and installation in our dining room. We just had Robert fix our heated bathroom floors, and he was a delight to have in our home. Great  people and electricians if you live on the Penninsula.

Wouldn't hire them again.

Worked with them on a time and materials basis and they charged us as much as they possibly could for very little work .

For 8 hours with material they charged us $2162 and installed a total of 4 recessed lights with one wire run from the basement.

Also - not sure what your comment below is about. The lights, dimmer switches were all purchased by us and your person went on our time to home depot for materials you needed for drilling.

I had the Adary team install a NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage to charge our new EV. When I first reached out, they quickly scheduled an estimate visit via Zoom meeting which was really efficient. I thought their price was fair, and their estimate process was much more thorough than the other two electricians I contacted. One provided a low-ball estimate that clearly didn't understand the scope of work or include permitting. The other said I needed to replace my entire panel and wanted nearly $10k.

They got the permitting process done quickly, and were able to schedule our installation the very next week after the permit was approved. The workers were on-time, very professional and friendly. The quality of installation was excellent.

They accommodated my schedule for the city inspection, and Nadav came out to meet the inspector and walk her through everything.

It was a fantastic experience, and I'll be using Adary for all future electrical projects.

I've used them for multiple projects, including major wiring upgrades for installation of both an oven and an induction cooktop.  It's always so delightfully straightforward.  Just a great well-run business.

We had a wonderful experience with Adary. They replaced an aging chandelier and recessed lights with LED recessed lights. It started off well with a quick response to my ask for a quote. They actually answered questions in Yelp messages, vs just asking for a call. (Calling during business hours can be challenging for me.)

They provided some options wrt buying our own fixtures vs a reasonable surcharge for selecting and purchasing them a part of the work. Scheduling a time was straight forward.

Then I forgot they were coming ‍. Luckily my wife was still available, and the electrician handled it well, patiently waiting to get let in . He called me a couple times to confirm the work and price.

When I came home everything looked perfect. Well matched fixtures, ceiling was clean, and the new lights were bright and wonderful. I'll definitely be calling again for future work.

What a pleasure working with Adary Electric. I had them over just one time and I was hooked. I now use them 5 days a month for over a year. I find them super responsible, very responsive, easy to get a hold of and quite professional.

1) They schedule on the calendar up to a month in advance and they keep the promised schedule.  

2)  They have a Highly professional system.  The journeyman takes the lead with the apprentice as his right hand. The well-mannered electricians arrive with ample supplies to get any job started.
 
3)  It's super easy to pay them via credit card right from Quickbooks invoice.

4)  I've recommended Adary to two friends, who were very happy with their service as well.

They are very responsive on the phones. Robert showed up on time, fixed all three of my accumulated problems quickly, and was the nicest, friendliest electrician I've ever met. This is now my goto shop for all things electric. There was a scheduling fiasco in the beginning, seems I am not the only one, but that's far outweighed by their professionalism and fixes.

I was installing a new chandelier recently. While doing so I ran into technical problems. I called Adary and a fellow named Devon was there within 30'.  Problem solved!

Thanks for the really prompt service.  It was greatly appreciated!

We had a great experience with Adary; they are really responsive on Yelp, which made the communication and scheduling really easy. The electrician (Robert) was also personable and knowledgeable. He proactively wore shoe covers when coming into the house, patiently answered my questions and quickly got the work done. I got several quotes from other places and concluded that their price are competitive and reasonable.

This review is long overdue. I've worked with Adary Electric about 10 times during a 2 year period, with many of these projects requiring multiple days of work. I've dealt with Nadav and Marcie (the owners), and at least 6 different electricians. So I feel I have a very comprehensive view of Adary Electric.

Adary Electric has been the best businesses I've worked with. Their communication is complete and quick, Marcie and Nadav are super helpful and very friendly, and the electricians are professional, clean, and perform excellent quality work. Their prices are fair and the work is completed in reasonable time.

Here are some of the projects that Adary Electric completed for me: rewiring half of my 96-year-old home (which was still knob and tube), replacing my main electrical panel, replacing the electrical cables from the city to my home, installing an electric charger, installing chandeliers, adding outlets, removing overhead lighting, and installing speciality outlets.

Operating on an older home is challenging, and Adary Electric has done a wonderful job. I'm very picky but I've never had to ask Adary Electric to change any of their work. Their electricians are professional and patiently answer all my questions.

While repaving my driveway, we discovered that the city incorrectly marked the main electrical pipe to my house. It turned out that the electrical pipe was only a few inches below my driveway (code required 3 feet), and the pipe was corroded. The city immediately shut off power to my house, and this lasted for 6 days. Nadav and Marcie went above and beyond in coordinating with the city permit and inspection bureaucracy and with my pavers who trenched and laid down a new pipe. I'm grateful for Nadav and Marcie for their attentiveness during this stressful period.

I often joke with Nadav and Marcie that I wish they'd expand their business to include roofing, solar, kitchen remodel, and general construction, so that I can only have to work with them. Thank you so much!

I paid Nadav Adary almost $8,000 and paid all my invoices on time.  After the job, he completely stopped taking our questions, calls, emails, never getting back to us whatsoever!!!

Why would you do that to a good paying customer?  WHERE IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY YOUR WARRANTY?  BEFORE WE HIRED NADAV, HE STATED HE WARRANTIES ALL HIS WORK. This is a complete lie! You can't just take a customer's money and never follow up on simple questions, concerns, and issues.  

STAY AWAY! Nadav is nowhere to be found after you pay him. I'd give negative stars if I could.

I used Adary Electric back 2020 at my old townhouse to replace the old
CFL bulb housing with ballast with the led ones. The electrician was knowledgeable came on time and was able to complete the job of replacing 6 bulb housing in 90mins. The pricing is reasonable for per hour billing and we were happy with the service we got

THIS IS WHO YOU SHOULD CALL!! Look at all of their 5-star reviews. Why? They answer the phone, they arrive on time, their electricians are professional and super fast and really, really damn good at their jobs. They only have a 1 hour minimum (seriously) and their rates are very reasonable considering their skill. Love this company and, more importantly, they have earned my trust.

They figured out my problem, tried to explain it to me (LOL, I don't get it, but that's why I hire experts) and then fixed it, period. I felt very comfortable with  the electrician in my home and will hire them again.

I was using a fancy outlet tester on a nonGFCI outlet for the first time when my moderately large open kitchen and dining area suddenly lost power to 2/3 of the outlets (some counter, some wall), but lights still working.  None of the Circuit Breaker box switches  looked tripped.  I thought that I may have damaged one of the circuits and decided it would be prudent to have an electrician investigate.  I messaged one other company but felt that their hourly rate was quite high; called Adary Electric which had excellent reviews and reasonable rates.  Got an appointment with Adary right away for the next morning.  Electrician Robert gave me a heads up call and was very polite (clearly a kind gentleman) and very professional.  He listened patiently while I explained in lengthy detail what, where, and why I was doing when I lost some power.  He first wanted to see the Electric Switch Box which he said looked normal and checking with his fingers and could see that they were all in good alignment.  Apparently the switches can trip slightly.  He showed me how to do the check myself.  Then he found one of my GFCI outlets and hit its reset button - and then my coffee machine and electric water pot lights turned on.  He said the outlet tester somehow tripped the GFCI (even though I was using the tester on a non-GFCI outlet) which in turn tripped the rest of the circuit.  Power was back just like that.  There was time to fix a more difficult problem.  My exterior front porch lamp wall timer control switch was permanently in ON position.  He proceeded to fix that in good time.  I could tell he was a great person, because my cat wanted to sit near him while he worked!!  I loved that Robert was a good listener, very respectful of my property and cat, and although my issues were not difficult - I can't help but think he's an excellent electrician too.  I will keep Adary Electric as my go-to for electrical problems

We needed a set of recessed flouro lights replaced with something better, and I contacted Adary Electric after finding them here on Yelp. I sent some pictures and described the issue. Nadav called me back in the evening, which was a nice surprise, we discussed what could be done, and he was able to send Victor out the next morning. Victor is a great guy and did equally excellent work. He replaced nine recessed lights with LED retrofits, which look and work better. Took a few hours. No mess, no hassle, everything was perfect. He had a bit of extra time and also fixed a loose wire that was causing a shower light to fail. Overall responsiveness and professionalism was incredibly high, and the cost  was surprisingly low. Adary is now our go-to for any electrical work!

Irresponsible and unprofessional.

They damaged our floor while installing an electrical outlet, and refused to apologize or take any responsibility for it.

I know it was them because no one else was in the house that day, and I inspected the area the night before and I am sure there was no damage there at that time.  The damage was immediately visible when I came to check the work after they left.

Do not work with them!  Not an upstanding business.

Deven did an incredible job. We were the last job of a long day, but Deven was patient and professional and not only completed what I had requested (wiring and hanging two large complex pendant lights), but also accommodated replacing a few switches last minute. Professional, friendly, and safety conscious (wore a mask the whole time). I'm very happy with my experience with Deven and Adary Electric. Serious dedication to customer experience. I'll absolutely follow up with more projects. Highly recommend.

Best value in the Bay! I was quoted $120/hr and the electrician, Devin, was efficient. It'd have been better had it been disclosed that driving time would be included in the number of hours, I wish the default were to wear booties (instead of having to ask), and I've been finding many wire sheathes from the stripped wire and other detritus from the job. But it ended up being $100 lower than others so overall I'm satisfied.

We hired Adary electric to add a sub panel in our garage. They were very good on communication and gave us a quick estimate turnaround so that we could get started right away. We were referred to them by friends and we will highly recommend them to anyone of  friends as well. They did a very professional job and we feel they were very knowledgeable and friendly. The owner Nadav was especially accommodating and definitely a huge plus they were able to get the job done within a week. We are so glad we went with them as we did look for quotes from others but felt Nadav was more honest and since he was local it was another plus. Thanks Nadav!

We've had to address electrical projects both small and quite big. Nadav (who I assume is the owner) consulted in-person by phone and by zoom to scope out the different projects. He gave very helpful advice before we started work. His folks were punctual, communicated well, and worked cleanly. When I needed some follow up, they responded just as quickly as if I was a new customer. We're not done yet but I'm quite pleased to continue working with them.

It wasn't a walk in the park job! An old 3 story Victorian that was experiencing  some sort of short causing issues on the 3rd floor. The bottom line is.....the first company gave me what would have been an expensive run around. Thankfully I was referred to Adary from a friend. The job took 3 hours to complete and I could not be more pleased. This is definitely the company to call. They are on their game and more importantly THEY DON'T PLAY GAMES LIKE OTHERS.

We were losing power in stages in parts of house.  I was concerned that my fridge/kitchen would be next.  It was like poltergeist, scary.  I called 5 electricians, and someone recommended Adary.  Nadav Adari and his crew is wonderful.  Quick response, understanding, and wanting to help us.  Robert came the next day and took care of everything, and he was very polite.  I highly recommend Adary.

After my hard-wired smoke alarm began chirping itself to death in the middle of the night, I took a look at replacing it and found a wiring mess that didn't seem safe - so I requested a quote for a new install on Yelp, as I don't have a go-to electrician yet. Adary came to the rescue. The office (both Evan and Marcy) was quick and regular with communication and sent Chris, who made the wiring safe and installed my new smoke/CO detector. He was a consummate professional & very careful to cover the work area & clean up, too. Especially as everyone was so very pleasant to interact with, Adary will be my first call (with a request for Chris!) for any future electrical needs. Very grateful for their quick help with an annoying, urgent situation!

Honestly I can say I made the best choice going with Adary for an electrical issue my tenants were experiencing.

Ive had several Handyman help me with projects in the past that didn't do as great a job and were more expensive. Loved everything about the service to the communication, Chris was extremely professional , explained everything to me and really made it as hassle free as possible.

I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an Electrician or Electrical Project.

Great experience with this company. What differentiated this company from most I have worked with in the past is their willingness and ability to CLEARLY communicate over email down to the last hour, which is HUGE for me and probably most typical residential customers who may find it difficult to get on calls and deal with missed calls/voicemails. I really appreciated that aspect. Thank you!

I can't say enough about Adary Electric.  I've had them at the house on three different occasions and I have them coming out again for a fourth time.  They are an amazing company with very knowledgeable and professional people.  They are honest in not only their price(s) but also how they treat you.  I can honestly recommend them for any electrical issue/project and look forward to working with them in the future.

I forgot to review Adary before when they installed my doorbell transformer and Nest Doorbell, but am glad to get to do this now.

Not sure what else to say, but I really love this company.   They're courteous, super timely, and very affordable for all the minor electric needs I've had this far. Payment is now really easy with email links to Apple Pay / credit cards.

When I bought a Nest Hello Doorbell and realized the voltage was insufficient and could not locate the transformer, they came out, rooted around the attic, located and replaced the transformer, and had a strong voltage line to the doorbell in under an hour.

Today they came out to add a new outlet above my new garage door opener and replaced a loose garbage disposal outlet with an up to code GFCI one and replaced another outlet in a couple hours.

Electric isn't something I'm comfortable with messing with, so I'm glad I can rely on Adary. Knock on wood I won't need any major electrical work, but at this point I wouldn't hesitate to use them for that either.

Hired Adary electric to install 2 wall sconce lights in my bathroom. Electrician showed up on time, was professional, and extremely patient as he helped us measure and center the sconces over our bathroom vanity. Then was able to dodge 2 toddlers and a curious cat as he completed the job. They are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for and I am planning to hire them again to install my dining room chandelier!

We had ongoing intermittent light flickering problems. There is a sub panel controlling those lights. One Electrician worked on it before. It worked for awhile and started flickering again.  We contacted a few companies and got no commitments.  Based on the review ratings, we contacted Adary Elecric. They responded promptly. Jeff showed up on time. He immediately found  the problem.  Luckily he had the parts and fixed the problem within one hour. Jeff is very professional, friendly and polite. Their charge is very competitive.  We'd  use them again if  we have the need.

Excellent service, professional attitude, on-time. What more do you need?

I had them rewire a house I was going to rent out and they did it in five days. They came when they said they would, they worked all five days in a row left everything clean and tidy.

Had them work on my own house for a few issues and always experienced professional courteous service from their electrician Mike.

Highly recommended!!

Had a great experience working with Adary Electric. I reached out to Adary Electric back in February to have a service call to check out a few things that need replacing. They came out and told me what needs to be fixed and what types of material they would need. Life got busy and we completely forgot to follow up until just recently in June. Between February and June, Adary never tried to force a follow-up which I truly appreciated. They gave us the time and trusted that we would eventually reach back out when we're ready. Today Victor from Adary came out and took care of everything that we had on our list, replacing electrical outlets that stopped working, putting in new light fixtures, and troubleshooting why the globe lights in our lounge area suddenly stopped working. Victor was super professional and talked through the various options we had. He even suggested ways to repurpose various switches and fixtures we previously had for other spaces. He also wore a mask the entire time he was here. I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Adary Electric. I would definitely reach back out if I have any other needs.

The electrician showed up on time, with a mask and aware of safety precautions. Took time to assess the multiple small problems that we had around the house and fixed them perfectly. In fact, fixed one of our electric heating vent, by identifying a basic rese(super crucial); other electricians has suggested major parts replacement, etc. Payment was electronically processed. 5 star service!

I would like to give 5 stars for the quality of the work.   Unfortunately, the cost was over twice what we expected based on initial discussion with electrician on-site.

The electrician came out to install a new outlet in our garage.  Based on the work to be done, he estimated about 1 hour of work.

Unfortunately, the work took 2.5 hours, with no real explanation as to why it took that long other than, it took that long.  I understand that not all jobs go as expected in regards to the time due to other circumstances, but to underestimate the time by over twice the time, with no explanation as to why, unacceptable!

We decided to hold off on our jobs for now so I did not end up using Adary Electric. However, I still wanted to write a review to highlight their impeccable customer service. I emailed Adary Electric and received responses immediately with a good idea of what an estimate would be. They scheduled a video appointment to give a more accurate estimate which went well and as planned. I will definitely be using them once we decide to move forward with our job.

Nadav and his crew was more than competent in running a new 220 service in my garage. Nadav came out and surveyed my needs to my current electrical panel, and came back with a solution I was very pleased with. I was referred to Adaya Electric from another electrician who considers Adaya to be very experienced in more tricky jobs.

Adaya Electric is who I'll call the next time I need electrical work done.

Adary was highly recommended to us. Truly deserved so!! They operate very professionally. The technician they sent us, Kevin, was very knowledgeable,
efficient and helpful.
He solved our problem in a very short time and patiently taught us the proper way to lodge, when necessary, the keys on the electrical distribution panel.
When there is a electrical problem, go Adary!!

Mike and Kevin helped us with a long list of random tasks around the house, from replacing ceiling fans to rewiring switches. They were super professional, respectful, and hard-working... they even brought their own shoe coverings, for God's sake! :) The experience working with Adary, from scheduling to the guys completing the work, was probably my easiest contractor project. They're now my go-to guys for electrical work for sure.

Tip: If possible, buy your own supplies (eg switches, lights)... it'll save you some money to shop around yourself. That being said, it's helpful to have them give you suggestions on what might work best for your set-up. They chose some materials that were better than our existing ones, which gave us a head start on modernizing the rest of our home lighting.

I'd love to give a high rating like the rest of the reviews, however, the cost of replacing two lights were three times above what was initial discussed. A simple $120 per hour job turns to a $480 job without a legitimate reason. I just can't shake off the feelings of being scammed.

Mike came over to fix flickering lights due to a bad breaker. Mike was amazing, super positive, friendly, patient and competent. What more could you ask for? I have scheduled additional work to replace a fuse panel. I look forward to working with them on additional projects as well.

Excellent service, no games. Installed mechanical thermostats that I had trouble installing myself. Arrived on time, was polite, wore a mask, let me shadow him to learn, and got everything working right the first time.

Adary Electric is great.  Lime many others, I've had a heck of a time dealing with flaky contractors.  I reached out to 4 electricians.  Most did not even return my calls.  One did, and then was a no-show for 2 appointments.
So when I called Adary, and got a prompt return call, I was pleasantly surprised.  They made and appointment.  On appointment day, they showed up a few minutes early.  They were very professional, patient in answering questions, and friendly.  They took care of the 2 immediate needs I had, and gathered info for the 2 project quotes I requested.
Then, they emailed me within 2 days with my receipt, and provided the quote.
I am VERY impressed with their responsiveness, professionalism, and work performed!!

We had Adary and his crew (Kevin, Jeff, Vic) do a pretty significant amount of work in our attic ripping out some old knob and tube that was a pretty scary mess before they started.

We were very happy with the end results, and working with Adary Electric was a great end to end experience from scheduling (yay Marcie!), to work quality, to payment. Two thumbs up!

We all know how difficult it is to find professional and honest electrician these days. We got lucky to find Nadya I hope I spell his name right.
He is very knowledgeable about his work and very honest too. He gave us few hints to how take care of minor things which can save us time and money. He came on time and finished and cleaned his working area nicely. We saved his number and looking forward seeing him if needed. Thx again.

Fantastic service!  

Half of my electricity went out yesterday.  I called Adary electric and Kevin showed up promptly to check it out.  Turns out some wiring went faulty in our concrete slab and I was put on the schedule for the next morning.  I was greeted by Adary at 830 the next morning and he informed me what was going to take place.  Wiring was then rerouted from the outside electrical panel to the rooftop and then into breaker panel of our home.  It was a difficult job, but completed beautifully by Victor and Kevin.  They even replaced a faulty under-kitchen sink outlet and fixed our dryers cracked air vent hose.  

Everyone I came in contact with was super pleasant and personable.  Thank you for restoring our power promptly.  We will be using Adary for all our future electrical matters.

A big THANK YOU to Adary Electric for responding quickly to my concerns with a garbage disposal switch sparking in my home.  They returned my phone call promptly, scheduled a same-day appointment and Freeman, one of Adaray's  electricians, exchanged the switch for a new one within minutes.   Prompt, professional and more than reasonable rates.  

Highly recommend Adary Electric!

First for all those who have dealt with bad contractors/electricians, here's a surpsise : Adary Electricians are nothing like that! Nadav came in to give me an estimate for multiple electrical projects that i wanted to get done around the house - outlets/electric panels etc. He was really genuine in his recommendations and even suggested i buy some of the plates/ outlets myself if i preferred and infact suggested the specific brands that i should look for and where i would find them - to save cost.
Later Kevin and Jeff came to help out with all the tasks around the house, from replacing exhaust fans to replacing outlets everywhere. They were super professional, respectful, and hard-working... :) They walked me through some of the complicated parts and also explained what they were doing and corrected some of the bad electrical work that was previously done in the house - which is probably v old.. They cleaned up after they completed they work. It truly was a huge refresher to get this quality of work. The experience working with Adary, from scheduling with Marcie to the guys completing the work, was probably my best and smoothest contractor project. They will def now be my go-to guys for any electrical work for sure.
Thank you guys for a wonderful experience! - Naveli

We moved into new house two years ago and have had the electricity go off every time we used more than one appliance at the same time. We had two electricians check the issue and quoted us thousands of $s to completely rewire the house or change the board. Adary team were honest and talented. They analyzed the problem and worked hard for 4 hours straight until they fixed it. Thank you Adary staff for everything! I can't believe I can work the toaster and the microwave at the same time now! Lol!

There are some really great things about Adary electric.  They are super responsive and accommodating.  I had a situation where light blew in a main room of the house so I urgently needed new lighting with the upcoming holidays.  Responsiveness deserves 5 stars in squeezing me in.  The workers were very pleasant and knowledgeable.  Also 5 stars.   What I'm not excited about is the value.   They gave me one option, a fixed proposal/quote that presumed double the effort of what it took.   Assumed 2 guys for a day, and took 1 guy 1/2 a day to install recessed lighting in a small den.  Thus, the ultimate price ended up being much steeper than time and materials for this relatively simple job.  There also was not recognition that the scoping could have been materially off in this case or any concession..even a fraction...only justifications for other cases going over and listing of floor coverings and $20 dimmer, etc in the cost (p.s. Was $1850). This was 5 halo 4 lights, easy wiring (no holes other than for the cans).  I understand a fixed bid runs the chance it would go over, but this was an easy job and not some crazy electrical re-do with unknown problems.  So in this case, my bad for not shopping others or having a tone and materials option.  Beware of fixed proposals unless you are sure of the effort needed.   Likely won't use them again unless I get multiple bids and am confident about the scope and effort involved.

Updated 72 hours after service:

For those considering engaging this business.  Please be aware this is a photo of the email response from the business owner.  Things to note (1)  the estimate (aka contract proposal) was overblown and assumed a tricky job as no attic above lights, but turned out there was a lot of headroom making the job easy (2) business attacks customer versus listens and does addresses concerns (3)seeks to muffle adverse social media opinion (4) threatens small claims court and multiple demands for payment in under 72 hours. (5) threatens defamation for citing fact on yelp.

Anyone who's ever dealt with flaky contractors would recognize how rare it is to find great electricians. If you are looking for pros, call Adary Electric. They are simply the best!
First, you'd get a prompt and friendly response. They will really make the best effort to schedule an appointment to provide service as soon as possible. And they will be on time.
We needed to replace 8 light bulbs in our high ceiling living room. The high ceiling lends an open feeling and great vibes, but you need a very tall ladder to change the bulbs. Hence, the need to find someone to do the work. We also needed to install new Nest smoke detectors, not a big job, but the response to my query was very professional with a promise to schedule an appointment within a couple of days. Mike and Kevin came within a day. I am impressed with their professional attitude, friendliness, and service. I highly recommend Adary Electric!

My wife and I just moved and wanted some new fixtures and recessed lighting in our new place. Nadav came by for a quote and we got the estimate the same day from Marcie. Whoa, that was unexpected!

We waited a few weeks to get estimates from some other electricians and decided to go with Adary because Nadav was by far the most honest and straightforward. So we contacted Marcie again to schedule the work and she responded promptly, even after we hadn't been in touch for all those weeks.

On the day of the work, Nadav and his crew came on time and explained how they were going to do everything. They were careful with everything in our house and were respectful and nice as they worked. The job was fairly complicated, and Nadav came near the end to help out and make sure everything was done on time.

He even went above and beyond the job and installed a wall sconce I've been meaning to do for a while -- another pleasant surprise.

I really appreciated Adary's professionalism, honesty and communication. The lights are working great too!

We're going to use Adary for my next job and recommending them to our friends.

We called Adary Electric because part of my rental house is outage. They recommend us to call PG&E (800-743-5000) firstly to do the investigation, which is free. PG&E people came and helped figure out the root cause. Thanks Adary Electric for the great suggestion.

I had an exterior fixture that hasn't worked for years. Was sick of walking up the driveway in the dark. Enter, Adary electric! Scheduling was easy via phone. I explained my issue and was advised to purchase a new fixture.

So glad I was prepared. Jeff showed up on time. Super courteous, fast and competent. I still had time left in my hour minimum and he helped me trouble shoot another fixture. Great value! I will definitely call again for my electrical needs!
Thank you!!

My house was experiencing some strange electric issues and I was very concerned. Called a bunch of people and it was impossible to get help. Adary was the wonderful exception. Very helpful on the phone, asked great questions. Adary was able to diagnose that I should call PGE instead right over the phone! That was amazing. I called pge and they ended up fixing the issue. PGE itself said excellent service from electrician company to recognize who we should call.

Super pleased even if we ended up getting the fix from PGE, will certainly call Adary in the future!

As new homeowners we struggled with finding a good electrician to handle adding a dryer plug, grounding the house, and a few other minor items. We turned to Yelp and reached out to Adary Electric and a few other well reviewed electricians for bids. The initial call went well and we scheduled a visit with the owner, Nadav.

Nadav showed up at the scheduled time and took a look at our circuit breaker, outlets, etc. before giving us an explanation of what needed to be done. The dryer plug would be easy to add, but the outlets throughout the house would need re-wiring since everything was on old knob and tube wiring. Nadav went on to explain that our home's main panel would need an upgrade at some point in the future as it was not up to today's standards, but he explained to us that we could hold off on this as it was not necessary for the work at hand. He also told us he would be bringing in a crew to handle the job, but that he would be coming in throughout the day to monitor the job and make sure everything was being done properly.

We consulted with the other electricians, but none seemed as thorough in exploring what our home's electric needs were and furthermore the other electricians seemed content with simply adding ground wires to the existing system instead of doing a full rewire.

We decided to go ahead and scheduled the work with Nadav for the following week, he and his crew showed up on time and immediately got to work. His employees seemed to be very high caliber in their own right. They were all friendly and his crew lead Steve was asking thorough questions about the job at hand, making sure that all our needs would be met by the work. Once everything was clear they promptly started to work at which time we had to leave for a few hours.

Towards the end of the day Nadav called to inform us that the work was complete and everything had gone well. The following day we went and checked the work, and everything looked great. The outlets they had replaced looked great, and everything that we had discussed was done. However, we noticed an issue with dimming lights when the fridge would turn on. We reached out to Nadav, he agreed that this was concerning and came up the next day to check on it.

Nadav troubleshooted the situation with us and explaining everything that he was looking at. Many of the issues tied back to the main panel that needed upgrading, but rather than calling it quits or urging us to upgrade Nadav was extremely focused on making this situation work out for us. We determined the next step would be to see if PG&E would at least attempt to upgrade their wiring to the panel. Nadav went ahead and called PG&E for us and when they came out the next day, they confirmed Nadav's suspicions and fixed the issue.

Overall, Nadav was thoughtful, respectful, and very professional. For the quality of his work, his prices are a steal. If you want a good electrician who cares about good electrical work, give Adary a call.

Power went out in Master bedroom. I called Adary on a Sunday, thinking I'd leave a voicemail, and get in the queue for a Monday morning call back, and then an appointment window a day or so later with the usual 5 hour range (e.g. we'll be there between 8 and 1). Imagine my surprise when they called me back, on a Sunday, and scheduled an appointment for 8:30 Monday morning. They also disclosed their hourly rate upfront. Freeman arrived on time, was pleasant, and worked diligently to get the job done. All the positive Yelp and Nextdoor reviews are spot on. Highly recommend Adary!

We will definitely use a Adary Electric in the future.  We needed a 220 outlet added to an already crowded electrical panel, and we only had a few days before our EV arrived.  Nadav called me right away, and he did a careful calculation to make sure we could safely add the new outlet.  He also figured out how to add the new breaker when our panel was already full.

Jeff came out and added the new outlet a few days later as promised.  He did a great job and we are very satisfied with the result.

We hired the Adary team to troubleshoot our faulty electrical outlets. They were very timely in having the assistant coming out for the initial inspection. We agreed for the owner to take a second look; he set the expectation of letting us know ASAP and never followed up.

I texted him again reminding him of this request and I received no reply.  We subsequently went with Simpson electric after waiting for a few days.

At about 6 pm yesterday our electric outlets and switches stopped working in part of my house. I contacted Adary Electric and they responded within an hour (and this was late in the day) and they scheduled one of their electricians to be here this morning. Super service!

I am very impressed with Jeff who came to solve our problem. He was great - he was very polite, he didn't waste any time and worked very fast, he checked absolutely everything, and through sheer persistence he found the problem (even though it required him to crawl into the attic at one point). I definitely recommend Adary Electric for any and all electrical needs.

My garage lights were not working so I decided to call Adary Electric based on several recommendations on Nextdoor.  Must have been my lucky day because one of their electricians, Jeff, was able to fix the problem today.  He was very professional, assessed the problem, gave me some options to fix it, went to buy the new replacements, installed those and a new extra outlet within two hours.  Very happy that the led replacements should last a very long time and don't expect to need to buy replacement bulbs or fix this problem again in a very long time.  The cost was fair and reasonable.  I will call Adary again for other electrical jobs around my home.

What a great find!

This past week,Adary Electric installed recessed lighting in 4 rooms in my house. The house, which was built in the 80s, had no ceiling lights and was quite dark.

Here's my experience with Adary:
* They showed up *early*!
* They were all very friendly and professional.
* They laid down paper and plastic to keep things clean.
* They cleaned up after themselves and left the house as clean as when they started.
* They got the work done in less time than expected.
* They were flexible and able to add in a few items that came up as they were working without causing an issue or delay.
* Nadav Adary called me to make sure I was satisfied with the work.
* The prices were reasonable.

I would highly recommend Adary for anyone looking for a good electrician and great service.

I've had extensive experience with remodeling and tradespeople and have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. Too often you trade off service or reliability to get work done. That was NOT the case here.

My only complaint: Wish he also did plumbing,carpentry, landscaping, etc. Maybe I can clone him?

Very simple and straightforward. I only needed to have a simple job done (replacing two of my ceiling light fixtures) and after searching on Yelp for a good and reputable electrician in the area I opted to hire Adary Electric.

I called in a Wednesday early morning and the line was busy, so I left a voicemail. Marcie Adary called me back only 30 minutes later, which was great  Since it was a small job, she explained that they would have to put the job in a hourly rate ($98/hour). I booked it have the job done on the following Friday morning.

The assigned electrician was Brian and he was driving from Pleasanton. He was proactive enough to give me a call about 30min before the appointment to let me know he was going be a bit late due to the traffic conditions. He arrived in the promised timeline.

I was pleased that Nadav Adary himself came right before the job was completed to check how the job was being done and also to see if I had any other electric needs around the house.

As other Yelpers mentioned, it is pricey. But making some further research you can tell that they are very competitive among the contractors that are licensed, bonded and insured. In fact, one of the other services that I contacted was going to charge about $100/hour.

You can check Adary Eletric in the Contractors State License Board of California website: www2.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineS… at look for their License# 640431.

I only wished that they would also work on the weekends so people don't need to take a day off work or work from home. I believe that they might have the option with a higher hourly rate. I believe that they will have an increased business if they also worked on the weekends with the same rate.

If there was a 6-star rating available on Yelp, I'd use it for Adary Electric.  My wife and I are geeking out our house with automated wireless light switches.  Had a different electrician out here who completely jacked up all of our 3-way switches.  Half my house was still dark when I pretty much kicked the guy out of my house!  Obviously cooking under the light of a flashlight wasn't going to play.  I called Adary, and the owner, Nadav, was out here the next day.  He applied his advanced electrician magic and we were up and running in a few hours.  Nadav is super smart and one of the nicest guys we've ever had working on our house.  Extremely highly recommended.  Oh - and very fairly priced.

A few outlets went out over the weekend, and I didn't know what had happened. Originally, I thought it was a circuit breaker problem, so I called around asking for quotes.

I called Adary Electric & I talked to a nice lady. She gave me the cell phone of her husband so I can send him a picture of the circuit breaker I needed & a quote. Nadav was fairly quick in iMessaging me a quote that was better than the other places I called in San Mateo. In 10 minutes, he was at my place, replaced the circuit breaker, and then.. it didn't work.

He came inside, respectfully took off his shoes without asking, & diagnosed the problem, helping me move furniture out of the way to access outlets. He finally found the problem & updated the wiring with better connections. He was thorough & knew his stuff. In less than an hour, he replaced the breaker, took apart a few outlets, found the short, replaced the wiring, & put together the outlets he used to diagnose the problem. We agreed to a higher price since it was more than my initial diagnosis, but it was a fair price.

He was professional, quick, & knowledgeable. I will definitely hire him again to do recessed lighting in the future.

I like to think I understand electricity reasonably well.  It's like water, there's a source and a sink, and it follows pretty consistent rules.  But unlike water, it can really, really hurt.

So when everything I knew about electricity couldn't help me make *any* sense of why I lost half -- but only half -- of the electricity in my house after a light bulb went *bang*, I said to myself, Self, let's not get hurt.  Off to Yelp I went, and found these great reviews for Adary Electric.

I called them before business hours and left a voicemail, despite the fact that they included a panic pager number in their voicemail message, because my house wasn't burning down or anything.  I just hoped to get into the morning queue.

Nadav called back first thing in the same day, and came out an hour later.  Despite the leads I attempted to provide to the subpanel where I thought the problem was, he politely followed his own diagnostic procedure, methodically starting with the mains and working his way in.

Less than an hour later, he had (1) pinpointed the problem that my light bulb's ceiling fixture was itself shorting the circuit, which was (2) not tripping the breaker for that circuit but nonetheless was (3) tripping only *one* of the two breakers that fed the subpanel.  He removed the ceiling fixture for us, capped the wires, and reset breakers as necessary.  Voila, we were back in service.  And he only charged for a nominal amount of labor, despite the fact that he returned half my house's power to life.

During the diagnosis, he also suggested upgrades to the mains to bring it up from 60A to 100A.  Two days later, I already have a quote for that upgrade.  He was willing to email it, but I botched my side of that, and he was happy to fax it instead.

He even unwrapped fresh booties to placate the no shoes rule in our house.

Darn straight I'm giving him 5 stars.

Nadav is amazing.  

I recently put some heavy machinery in my garage (lathe, CNC mill).  Getting industrial electrical in a residence has been not entirely straightforward.

There were two decent electricians in the area, one with a high yelp review the other recommended by a contractor I use.  However it was always a PITA to get ahold of them. Either they wouldn't return phone calls, or there would be promises they could be out in a couple of weeks.  (And I'm not a difficult customer!  I paid cash the second the job was completed: no run around, no argument about price, no bounced checks or CC fees.)

I got fed up and called Nadev after seeing yelp reviews.  First time he was out the next morning and lowered his rate b/c there was difficulty getting one machine working (not his fault).  The next week when my CNC mill wouldn't power up he came over the next day, fixed it (despite never seeing its internals before) and rewired the 3 phase power so my lathe would not run backwards.  He charged $50!!!  Unbelieveble.  I would use him for anything w/o hesitation.  High quality work and no bullshit.

In the past I'd work around or ignore any electrical problems I was having; now I'm actually looking for additional things  I can have fixed on the house since he does such good work.

I had a ceiling fan/light installed to replace an existing original ceiling light in a 1950's rancher.
The man, Paul, who came out was friendly, efficient, tidy and very tall.  He installed the fan, which I had previously purchased, in just shy of an hour and was on his way.  
So impressed.  I recommend this company without reservation.

Everything that has already been said is true.  I had an electrical problem in my condo in Daly City and Nadav had one of his men contact my tenant and was there as promised.  He quickly discovered the problem and not only resolved it but saw other potential wiring problems and corrected those as well.  Nadav called me personally to explain what the problem was and what was done to rectify it.  

He charged me for a one hour call, which I thought was extremely reasonable and fair.  I will definitely be using Nadav for my future electrical needs.

Nadav helped us change the dinning room lighting and all the old wall plugs (near kitchen sink and bathroom vanity) to GFCI.

And he climbed up to our roof top to check how we can change our bathroom vent system. His work is very professional.

On another day, I went to Home Depot to buy a wall plug cover for our patio and bumped into him there. He greeted me and even helped me choose the perfect cover. I will definitely come back to him if I have additional electrical project. Thanks, Nadav.

Nadav and his team (Kevin, Mike, Steve, Victor) have done several jobs for us and each time the work has been exceptional. We had a particularly tricky project with a chandelier that was too low. They brainstormed options and ultimately had to remove a part and rebuild the stem of the chandelier. Their work elevated the chandelier (literally) and elevated its design! It looks better than ever. They did a wonderful job. I highly recommend Adary Electric. They are consummate professionals.

Wonderful!  Adary installed Tesla charger in my garage and I couldn't be happier with the experience.  They had to replace the sub panel and install a plywood panel for the charger.  It took one scouting trip by Nadev and then 3 hours work for Jeff, which was faster than I expected. They charged by the hour, so faster was cheaper too.  Work quality is fantastic. Highly recommend them.

The quality of the work performed by Nadav and his team was outstanding. Everyone on his team were polite, professional and helpful.

Adary Electric installed recessed lighting in the ceiling of our kitchen and den. They also upgraded many of our outlets and switches. For several of the light switches, they installed dimmers.

They also handled a few un-planned side jobs while they were on-site. For example, they upgraded the wiring to our front porch light, repaired one of our Tiffany floor lamps and installed a new light fixture in our downstairs bathroom.

I plan to use them again.

Although they may not be the cheapest, they are certainly among the best.

Nadav and his crew did an amazing job installing a 220v outlet and a couple of 110v outlets in our townhouse.  We were installing a dual fuel stove - Nadav made a thorough pre-inspection of the house and had the forethought to ask for the stove specifications to make sure that the outlet was properly placed for the installation.  He also came up with a creative solution that avoided removal of any drywall.  His crew was courteous and conscientious, leaving the work area cleaner than when they started.  For the final inspection, Nadav arrived early and met the inspector at the door.  Everything passed with flying colors.  We were very impressed with Nadav's thoroughness and will use him again in the future.  We highly recommend Adary Electric.

Here is yet another testament to the five star rating for Nadav!   I called about a rental that reported problems with a circuit breakers that required hard resets.  Nadav was extremely helpful and suggested a few basic checks to save the expense of a call, but I told him it was worth the expense to make sure everything was okay.  He was very responsive and contacted the renters to coordinate a time to visit the following day.

They discovered a faulty breaker and promptly replaced it as well as checking a few other items the renters had questions about.  The fee was very reasonable and the service absolutely excellent!  

I highly recommend Nadav and his crew who are now my go-to electricians!

So responsive!  I called Adary yesterday afternoon after having some problems with my home security and fire system and discovering that the outlet it was plugged into was charred.  Marcie called me right back (first pleasant surprise), listened to my story, told me not to use the outlet, and said she would call back at the end of the day.  And she did!  (second pleasant surprise)  An appointment was scheduled for today (third pleasant surprise) but this morning she called again saying that someone would be able to come earlier if that would work for me.  (fourth pleasant surprise)  Yes!  A very short while later I got a call from Freeman as promised.  He showed up promptly and replaced the outlet.  The work was completed in less than 24 hours.  Adary, you rock.  THIS is how to treat customers!

Nadav at Adary is my gold standard of service contractors.  He's fast, friendly and does a great job every time I have used him.  He is also fair with prices and time, something that most contractors are not.  He came for 20 minutes to install a sign and charged me for 20 minutes.. most contractors aren't so honest.

On another occasion Nadav sent one of his employees, Peter I think, to install an energy meter in my electrical closet and he did an excellent job on that too.  It was not an easy item to install and he did it in a reasonable amount of time and nicely retrofitted an existing metal enclosure to house the unit.

We had a wonderful experience with Adary.  Nadav sent Victor over and we went through the problem and had it (very difficult) solved in a few hours - he was really great.  Nadav came by to inspect the process - and I felt very assured I had made the right choice.  I could not post this review because the problem was in a wiring line into my office that was messed up by another company.

Thanks Nadav and Adary Electric - special thanks to Victor for being patient.

I am updating my review of Adary Electric because they just completed a job for me at my old condo (my tenant had an electrical blowout in the kitchen!) and...NOT ONLY were they helpful, professional, and fast...but they also did it all FREE OF CHARGE!!  What service!!  :D

Apparently, they were concerned about the fact that I'd felt overcharged in my last two callouts for service.  I'm not sure how they knew (maybe a previous Yelp post?!)  but I am now more than satisfied with their customer service and wonderful results!!  They are definitely my go-to electricians for any future needs!  

5 STARS FOR YOU Nadav and Victor!!  Thank you!

I have to add to the five star reviews for Adary.  Nadav came out to our house (an Eichler) and was able to sort out the main conduit problem in a half hour.  The rest of the time was the rewiring.  I was worried that this would be either a $200 job (good) or a $2000 job (bad).  It turned out to be less than $200.  He was very professional, skilled at what he was doing, and finished the job in 1 1/2 hours.  My wife was also very happy to get the lighting back on in the hall and the several rooms.

Besides, Nadav is a great guy and a good conversationalist while he was working.

Highly recomended!!

Another great experience with Adary Electric.  Nadav came out late in the day to get our lights working after a weekend of my husband's diy!  Got everything working in less than an hour and gave me advice on replacing an outside fixture.  Very friendly, efficient, competent and inexpensive.  I would never call another electrician.

We called Adary Electric about a few projects based on the positive Yelp reviews and were not disappointed! Nadav came out and gave us an estimate for several projects, including replacing  all of our kitchen fluorescent can lights with new LED cans.

Steve showed up promptly to do the work yesterday, and I could not be happier with the work. As he began to pull out the kitchen cans, he realized the replacement LED lights he had were not ideal, and Nadav immediately came over with lights that would be better. Then, when Steve installed the lights he covered the entire kitchen in plastic and tarps, so there was absolutely no mess from dust or ceiling drywall flaking off. He even showed me exactly what he was doing in case we want to attempt to replace some other lights ourselves in the future.

While he was at our house, Steve also hooked up electrical to our outdoor shed and installed two outlets and an overhead light, and even helped me swap out a light fixture in my bedroom (I had been procrastinating about doing it myself, and I'm glad because he did it in about 5 minutes).

Overall, VERY impressed with the professionalism and service, and will definitely call Adary Electric for any of our future needs.

Adary Electric is the gold standard for prompt, efficient service. I'm so impressed by professionalism of everyone from the service coordinator to the electrician, Steve, who came to my home today. This is the second time I've used Adary. The first was to install an electric charger for my car in 2016. My home in Foster City is old, so this kind of thing isn't easy. Adary Electric did a great job. Today's job was a smaller issue related to a misbehaving circuit (and a somewhat confused homeowner (me)). Again, swift response and excellent service.

Excellent, Fast Service.

We had an issue that knocked off power from most of the outlets in our bedrooms. Called Adary Electric based on Yelp reviews. They were able to get some one come in and diagnose & fix the issue within couple of hours.

I thought it were slightly expensive (but cannot complain given the fast service :-) ).

Thanks,

In looking for an electrician I went to Nextdoor.com and Adary was #1 choice for neighbors.  I then went to YELP for a second opinion.  Again #1 choice.  We had had a refrigerator melt down that had been repaired, but the wall plug seemed dead and needed to be replaced.  We were using a counter outlet with an extension cord while waiting for an electrician.  Our prior electrician was too busy to return phone calls.  Left a message to Adary on a Sunday and received a return phone call the next morning.  Freeman was out by about 11:00 am.  We had not reset our circuit breaker properly - very quick fix. I asked Freeman to do another quick fix - done.  Adary has earned its top ratings and we certainly agree with all the other reviews.

Amazingly fast and quality work!  After another electrician had stopped responding to me (I think because it wasn't a completely obvious job), I randomly reached out to Adary one morning, and the job was done before we had to leave for lunch.  It required Steve to crawl through the attic and drill/cut the appropriate holes.  Very much appreciated his help!

I had a problem with ungrounded outlets in my garage. I called Nadav the owner on his cell phone, and he was very polite, accessible and helpful on the phone, as well as very responsive: he offered to have someone come see my problem right away (same day!).
He promised he'll let me know as soon as he has someone available, and he promptly did.
Steve, who is working for him, showed up as promised, and was very professional and friendly. He very efficiently identified my problem (old house, no reliable/consistent grounding throughout the house), and came up with a down-to-earth solution.
He was very practical, and knew exactly what he was doing, saving me time and money (I had compared with another firm).

It was great to see someone so professional, practical, and efficient. The garage outlets now work perfectly, and I am a very happy customer ! :)

One word....AMAzing.....OK two words OUTSTANDING. I called based on the reviews on Yelp and I was not disappointed  and will be adding another 5 stars to the list. The service I received from Adary from beginning to end was immaculate. From making initial contact to the final walk through with Nadav Adary was done with perfect ease, great smiles and outstanding customer service/work. The team arrived on time and ready to work they did not stop until 2 of my  panels and re wiring was done in my garage. We had some very suspicions looking things happening in our garage.  I was scared to go into the garage to run my washer/dryer for fear of something catching on fire. After seeing the amazing work done by the team today{I had 4 workers busting their butts all day}I was blown away. All I can say is this machine is well organized and well run!  I am very very picky when it comes to work on our home. Being a contractors daughter you become very aware what good work is and what poor work can do to your stress level.  

I will be requiring future work to our home and will not hesitate to call him again. It feels great to know that their our companies like this in the world where customer service and pride of workmanship no longer exists! Keep up the good work! Thank you.

We were very happy with the work done by Adary Electric.  We had several small projects that they tackled with easy.  All along the way explaining what they were doing and answering all our questions.  The next day we had a small problem with one of the outlets and they were responsive fixing the issue very quickly.   Note that I do not review very often and was not asked to review by the company.  That said, we will use Adary Electric in the future and would recommend to to family and friends.

There was a problem with the electrical outlet for my electric range in the kitchen.

Need to say, I will be trying his services for future electrical issues which aren't minor as I am impressed by his business ethics.

Some outlets in my house went bad due to shoddy work by a prior electrician.  Electricians are in such demand these days, I had a hard time getting one to give me the time of day, but Adary was very prompt to respond.  Marcy quickly got me onto the schedule.  Due to Jeff's expert troubleshooting, he was able to fix the problem for a lot less than I was expecting.   The job was done very efficiently with great attention to detail.  Jeff is very professional, neat, and courteous and a pleasure to deal with.  He got everything up and running better than it had ever been before.  This outfit has fantastic service, reasonable prices, and excellent work product, I will definitely be calling Adary for my future electrical needs.

When Nadav came to do the estimate, I immediately liked and trusted him. He knows his stuff and that instills confidence for the customer. He also gave me great advice as to what type of track light fixtures to install and a wonderful recommendation on the store to buy them. Nadav was available to answer questions and he even picked up the track for our lighting as it was too big for us to transport in our vehicle. His team of electricians were nice guys and were careful with our home and belongings. We are very happy with our new track lights, circuit, and outdoor outlets!! I would recommend Adary Electric to anyone needing this type of service!

Unfortunately I have to share with everyone my awful experience with Adary with the core reason being I was grossly overcharged and gouged (echoing Cher S' sentiment as well).  I contacted Nadav who came and did a walkthrough of some minor electrical work throughout my house and asked him for an estimate.  He told me that with all these little jobs he couldn't really do an estimate but that his guys could probably knock out the work in 4-5 hours.  At $190/hr for 2 guys this was obviously something I was hoping for could be done in 4-5 hours.  I have since found out from other friends familiar with electricians and general contracting that the work should and could have been done by 1 guy in the same time frame which is why I'm so upset.

Anyway Nadav's guys came on time and actually did excellent work-- they both took short smoke breaks and lunch which I, of course, assumed I wouldn't be billed for.  As the day wore on, it seemed like things were taking a lot longer than I expected to change 2 ceiling light fixtures, change out 10 GFCIs, and replace a lot of the light switches throughout the house.  I also asked them to do 2 other minor things including adding an outlet to an upstairs room and wiring a motion sensor light to outside.  

Anyway, the guys wrapped up at 4 and cleaned up and left and then Nadav came by and discussed with me the bill, etc.  Including parts-- he was charging me $1978!!  I almost had a heart attack on the spot...I looked at the breakdown and saw that not only was he charging me for the time his guys worked but he included their smoke and lunch breaks in the total!  On top of that he was charging himself out at 2 hours (again at $95/hr) for going to home depot for parts (home depot is less than 10 minutes away, one way).  I asked him about his hours, which he agreed to remove, and then about the break time for his guys and he told me that it was a law that the guys got 15 minutes breaks every 4 hours.  I have been a consultant myself and knew that but what I didn't understand was what that had to do with me.  They're his employees so why is he CHARGING me for something he's obligated to by law to offer?  On top of that, he billed me for 7.5 hours which isn't 8 hours to begin with!?!?!  Anyway, I was still upset but gave him a deposit on the money due.

I then spoke to other friends, 2 of whom can handle minor electrical work and are good all around with household repair (one of whom is adding an addition to his house pretty much on his own) and they were floored and outraged when I showed them the bill and found out the charges.  They definitively told me that I had been ripped off based on the amount of time and the number of people needed there to do the work.  In essence they both said confidently that 1 good electrician could have handled all the work described and listed in about the 6 hours they were there.  This of course made me even more upset.

Nadav and I finally spoke about my unhappiness about feeling gouged and I will say to his credit he was pleasant to deal with even though this was an unpleasant topic.  I expressed to him my frustration with feeling way overcharged and he kept telling me how he's been in business for 20 years and have had repeat customers, etc.  I then asked him again why I was being charged for his guy's break time and how he should not have tried to make it confusing regarding responsibility (he somehow made it seem like it was my financial responsibility) and then he started to apologize and backpedal saying that we could remove those charges immediately from the invoice.  

I told him he shouldn't do business this way and that while his guys work was top notch, I would never work with him again for gouging me so badly.  We finally agreed on a price (that I still feel is way too high for the work done-- I have a copy of the invoice that I can provide anyone who would like to see) of $1400 but still feeling incredibly ripped off and upset about this whole process.

I am clearly am a layman when it comes to electrical work and feel gouged and taken advantage of by this company because of it.  I was going to rate them 2 stars only because Nadav is a pleasant person (but pleasant doesn't absolve gouging and overcharging) and his guys did do good work but after thinking about it more, I just can't.  

I would strongly deter anyone from working with this company unless you have a very clear estimate and have someone qualified to double check their estimate and manage them for even the simplest electrical job.  Nadav you should be ashamed of yourself for conducting business this way.  Good riddance!

We have used Adary Electric for various electrical work around the house.  The simplest being, Oops.  We think we screwed up this light fixture install and now there's sparks coming out.. may be we need a professional to look at this problem to retrofitting LED recessed lights into an existing CFL recessed fixtures, replacing exhaust fans in the bathroom (including rewiring the switches and redoing the ducts), installing new switches, removing a subpanel to move all breakers to a different panel, etc etc.  And every work they have done, we have been very pleased.

Every time their worker visits, they always put a bootie over their shoes to prevent tracking dirt into the house.  They also meticulously tarp over everything before starting work to minimize any dust particle or wire cuttings from getting all over the place.  Very appreciated when you have a crawling toddler in the house who will pick up anything off the floor and put it into the mouth and get into trouble (especially with copper wire bits!).  They are neat, professional and pleasant people too.  I watched as they cut a larger square opening into the ceiling, and the cut opening was very clean (no miscuts) and square with very straight lines.  It wouldn't really matter as the flanges for electrical fixtures would  usually completely hide them, but everything they have done, even in places that will not show when the work is completed, is done neatly and with care.

Nadav is very responsive, with a very calming/mellow presence.  He seems to be the type who pays attention to detail and is free to give helpful DIY advice if it's relevant.  He seems to be very flexible when you have an emergency situation (ahhh!!! sparks!!! help!!) and tries to get to you as quickly as he can.  I have met two of his workers in addition to Nadav so far, and they are all equally pleasant, professional and hard working (does not waste time).

He also passes city inspection on the first try.  He even can charm the most picky inspector that has given me difficulties in the past.  The inspector in the end was impressed and very happy with what he saw.

I've received competing quotes for various work, and Adary Electric is consistently in the lower-end in terms of the cost (sometimes not the lowest, but pretty close).  Now that I have a working relationship with them, for the quality of work they do, I do not mind paying a little bit more for the peace of mind and their workmanship.

I am and will continue to be their repeat customer, and highly recommend them!

I've had Adary Electric out twice to work on a house I bought in San Mateo that has a lot of electrical problems (knob and tube, ungrounded outlets, weird fuse panel, etc).  Nadav and his team have been great both times.  When faced with the challenges my house presents Nadav will think carefully through the problem and come up with a variety of solutions.  He is also very calm and reassuring, which I value.  

I got three bids on the first electrical job and Adary's prices fell between the sketchy electrician I wouldn't trust and the overbearing big electrical company that tried to pressure me to rewire the whole house at once.  Definitely worth it for the confidence in the work without the hassle from the big guys.  Plus, those other electricians took weeks to send me their estimates while Adary had not only sent theirs, done the work, but cashed my check too!  Really, Adary Electric is great all around.

Another 5 star review for Adary Electric. We had a few important (bathroom) lights out after an outdoor cord was damaged during yard work. I called this morning and Victor arrived by 12:30 and had it fixed pronto. He replaced the damaged cord for us and took care of a few other minor things he saw that needed attention.  I will most definitely call Adary Electric again next time I need electrical help.

No job is too small. Nadav and Victor tag teamed to get the job done. We switched our internet/cable service to AT&T requiring a grounded outlet for installation. My wife made an appointment with an electrician from the Yellow pages, that offered a free appraisal, who showed up late for the appraisal and did not call. What made things worse was he never showed up for the job he agreed to do and of course did not call. Beware of Free Appraisal. Nadav and Victor did the job quickly, correctly, less expensive and were pleasant to top it off. Nadav brought tools, unlike the other fellow, ready to work and finished the job that day. Great.

Jeff came out and did a fantastic job. We had some overhead lights that were not working. Previously, another electrician had come out and said that they needed replacement parts that he didn't know how to find and so he wanted to replace all the overhead lights in whole kitchen! I called Adary to get a second opinion. Jeff fixed the lights no problem! One of the seatings to the light was messed up and he figured out a way to make it work. My new favorite electrician.

Nadav and his crewman Victor have done two repairs on our San Carlos home. Victor is extremely professional. They are very honest and gave us options for further work. They found out our neighbors had been using our electricity. They are very reasonable in price. Victor is very hard working. His last job here was thought to be simple and it sadly ended up taking about five hours due to the previous owner and their diy duck tape type of work. I would highly recommend them for any work. Leave a message and they will get back to you.

Short version: So far, very satisfied! Professional, friendly, efficient. Came in under estimate, which is always nice.

I got Adary Electric's contact information via Tesla Motors, after I put down a deposit for an electric car that needed a new high powered electrical outlet installed in my garage for charging.  Nadav Adary returned my voice mail the next business day, and was friendly and professional.  He and his team had done many installations of NEMA 14-50s for this purpose in other people's homes.  Nadav was able to quickly assess the situation by asking me to take pictures of the relevant circuit breaker panels with my phone and e-mailing them to him.  He gave me an estimate and we were able to set up a time for one of his guys to come by (Jay) to do the installation.  Nadav said that because the job was fairly simple and straightforward based on the pictures he saw, it made more sense for just Jay to come.

Jay was also professional, friendly, and a pleasure to work with.  He was running little late in the morning and he gave me a courtesy call to let me know, which was appreciated.  He came across as competent and efficient, and finished the task quickly and cleaned up after himself as well.  At the end, the total bill (parts and labor) came in under the estimate Nadav provided, and was even less than the rough ballpark that someone at Tesla Motors gave me as a guidepost!  I definitely plan to call Nadav and his team again if I need electric work done in the future.

I am very appreciative of Adary Electric.  What a nice man! He not only answered his voice mail after hours, he walked me through finding the fuse box which I could not find. Because of his confidence I was able to locate and fux the problem myself. He really did not have to do this, but he did and was really nice about it. Thank you!! I will recommend you every time!!

An Adary electrician visited our home this past Monday and quickly corrected two problems we had, i.e., an outlet that had ceased functioning and lighting in the master bath that would only flicker.  He clearly explained the issues, offered options, and was shortly done and gone.  Very courteous and pleasant.

It was 9 p.m. on a Saturday night. My tenant texted me to tell me there had been a small electrical fire in one of the chandeliers. He had left a message on Adary Electric's voice mail and I sent an email to Adary. We got a very fast response and he came over that same night, took off the bad socket (corroded socket), capped the wires and turned the breaker back on. I thought we were going to have to wait until Monday until his office opened. I was so relieved that he responded so promptly and was willing to come out at 10 p.m. on a Saturday to fix the problem. He is very professional and extremely polite. THANK YOU.

I just had Adary Electric complete a second job at my house.  I first used them to track down a very hard to find problem that caused a circuit breaker to go at random times.  It was a small job and a tough job but they were persistent and solved the problem at a very reasonable price.

When it came time to add some new outlets and to rewire the cable TV, internet and phone, I gave them a call.  The estimate was accurate and they completed the job on schedule.  In fact when it looked like they might not get it done on time, they brought in an extra person to ensure that all was done properly.  I appreciated their clean up of the job site and their great skill at working with old lath and plaster without creating a lot of mess.  They managed to install new outlets in the old walls without a single crack.

I am extremely happy to find a reputable company that meets commitments and has great quality.  They did what they promised to do and they stayed within the budget.  

I recommend Adary to anyone who wants great work at a reasonable price.

I just got my Tesla and needed to have the charger installed at my house (Teslas aren't very useful without a charger).  I contacted a few companies that were provided by the Tesla dealership.  The only one that would give me a quote quickly was Adary Electric. I called in the morning and I met Nadav at my house that afternoon.  I had the quote that night and the work was scheduled to be done 2 days later.

Nadav, Steve, and Victor showed up at my house at the scheduled time and went right to work.  While they had worked in doing Tesla chargers before, they had not seen the new version.  They quickly figured it out and had it installed by lunch time.  The work was first rate.  I would gladly recommend them for this and any other electrical work.
They even did a couple of additional things (replace a light fixture and a gfci outlet) even though it wasn't part of the originally scheduled work.

I wish every work interaction were so easy and professional.

Nadav is simply the best electrician I know.  I've recommended him to many people and no one has had anything, but compliments!

Nadav and his crew were great. We upgraded our panel and thanks to them it all finished in one looooooong say. They came early morning and left late evening. Nadav called and was here during the inspection and informed me right after, of course we passed. They are real deal, not cheap but you definetely get what you pay for. I am looking forward for the kitchen and other electrical projects. They are absolutely one of the best and again thanks Nadav.

Nadav and his crew replaced my ugly fluorescent kitchen lights with beautiful recessed lighting. They were so knowledgable, very well organized, professional and timely. We had a very productive conversation about the placement and type of fixtures. It was very clear that the team wanted me to be pleased with the end result. The transaction was simple and paperless too. My estimate and invoice was sent via email and the transaction was charged to my credit card. I'll definitely call Adary Electric for all of my projects. Thanks for top notch work, guys!

Nadav, the owner, is very professional, friendly, and knows his field. The two electricians, who came out to do the job, were on time and did great work. After they were finished, they cleaned up after themselves. We will use Adary Electric again for any future projects.

I had a small electical problem.  I turned on my TV, heard a crackle from another light socket, and then power on about 4 outlets went out.  The breaker did not trip.  I realize it was something small, but I leave electical problems to the pros.

I called 3 electricians (all got good reviews on yelp) and Adary was the only one who even called me back.  Nadav came out exactly on time and he got right to work.  He was friendly and knowledgeable.  He fixed the job in no time.  Excellent work.  I was very happy with the job.

From now on, anything electrical, I'm calling Adary.

A competent electrician at a reasonable price.

I had an electric problem in the garage and had to find an electrician. Rather than to trouble my friend who is up on this kind of stuff, I decided to hire an electrician so I searched the web for one in the area. Wanted to find a local electrician and saw the Yelp reviews for Adary. Called a couple other ones too in the area but they didn't bother to call back. Adary did.

I believe it was Marci who called back and scheduled an appointment right away. Victor came out right at the appointed time. Like Marci, Victor is personable and friendly. Nice to have people skills in addition to profession competence, which Victor certainly possesses.

I guess the toughest part in an electrical problem, like many things, is to figure out what the problem is.  It took a little while to pinpoint the exact problem but the whole time, Victor was very patient in answering my questions and walking me through some of the issues and problems I was dealing with.

The problem was finally narrowed down and isolated. Victor was able to fix the problem and viola, the power to my garage was restored. It has been problem free ever since.  

I'd recommend Adary's service to anyone and would call on them again if I ever run into problems again in the future.

Good job.

I called Nadav on New Year's Eve to install new lighting in our kitchen.  He came over within a couple hours and gave us great advice.  He then came over on Monday and finished the job in just two hours (less than half the time it usually takes).  In between we saw him at Home Depot where he gave us detailed advice on what to buy without charge.  He did a great job and everything looks perfect.  I highly reccomend Adary Electric and Nadav!

Jared came to diagnose an intermittent lighting issue.  He was intelligent, friendly and knew what to do to find the problem.  His first guess and what was causing the issue was correct (even though it could have been several different things) and he showed me what was wrong and how he was going to fix it (and he did).   Great job!

I'm updating my review after Nadav followed up with me post my earlier review. Nadav made a simple mistake and went to my neighbors. He did follow up, shared good information about what I am interested in for my home, and shared voicemail with me.

Summary:  Far above exceeds my expectation of service, professionalism, and quality.

Found Adary Electric on yelp, because of the reviews posted, decided to give them a try.

Technician: Jay - knowledgeable, professional

Main contact for the service:  Nadav - courteous, responsible/responsive, professional

I wanted to install outdoor wall lights to anchor two sides of my garage.  Jay installed a conduit inside the garage with switch.  Nadav and Jay were both at our house in the beginning to provide insight for the position of the light, how they anticipate it'll be installed inside garage, etc.  Made us feel very comfortable about that they are doing.  Jay stayed to do the work.

Jay did a wonderful and clean job inside the garage - the conduits were well positioned and thoughtfully positioned inside the garage above the garage door.

Nadav and Jay took full responsibility for their service and post-installation issue.  

I cannot be happier to have found such a reliable company to work with for future needs!  Thanks Jay and Nadav!

I had some power problems in my kitchen. Victor came at the exact time I was told he will come and troubleshooted his way through the problem (it was a GFCI gone bad), then fixed it. All in about 35-40 minutes.

Professional attitude, excellent service - I think I found a good electrician to call when things go bad.

I read the positive reviews above and called adary.  Nadav visited and looked over the problem. He seemed knowledegeabable. He promised that no, ifs ands or buts, he'd send an estimate. He confirmed my email, phone number, and address.
A week later, and two followup emails,
Nadav is nowhere to be seen.
I do hope he's not ill. If not, then,
under no circumstances, whatsoever, would I ever give business to nadav.  Telling the truth does not seem to be part of his business plan.

These folks did a great job.  I had them do a couple small jobs for me.  Put in a motion sensing light and fix the track lighting in my LR.  

Very courteous.  Excellent, professional service.  They went over and above.

Probably not the cheapest electricians around, but definitely the best.

This is the second time I've used Adary electric. This time it was to install recessed lighting in my great room in San Mateo. Nadav (the owner) quickly scheduled a visit to provide a quote and then we scheduled the work to be done within two weeks. The job turned out great and Nadav even gave me a follow-up call the evening after the work was finished to see if I was pleased with the result. He is honest, fair and really nice. I would highly recommend him.

I am delighted to say that I called Adary Electric about a month ago to inquire about installing recessed can lighting in two of my bedrooms.  I was able to make a mutually convenient appointment, discuss with Nadav what I wanted done, and he made his assessment and provided a time frame in which the work could be done.  His wife, whom he partners with in their business, had a detailed estimate to me by the next day.  About a week later, Nadav and his team promptly appeared at my home and completed the installation. The lights look beautiful and enhanced the entire appearance of the rooms! I n addition, Nadav troubleshooted a faulty can light in my kitchen and repaired it, only charging for the part.   I am happy to say that I plan to have more work done, including the installation of can lights in my remaining bedroom by this professional business team.

Adary Electric did a fantastic job putting in outlets and installing new LED Flush mount lights in my house.  They were very professional.  Victor did the work on our house and he did it all in a timely manner. He kept his work area clean at all times and he was very considerate of his surroundings.  He did an amazing job and I would use them again.

We scheduled the work for a day and time, and they showed up right on time. Everything got done promptly and perfectly. I will definitely use them again if I need an electrician.

Adary Electric changed some wiring/switches on my patio and in my garage.  Nadav arrived promptly to price the work, then when it was scheduled returned with his electricians to discuss the work before starting.  I consider that an excellent process and gave me confidence that we were all on the same page.  The electricians were courteous and efficient and completed the job in a timely manner.   Highly recommended.

I called this morning to get someone to come out and do an estimate and they responded immediately. I needed an additional plug put into dry wall in the garage- it already had existing wires. I tried explaining what was needed without knowing an electrician's lingo and they understood what needed to be done - even willing to accept some photos via email or phone to help better explain what exactly was needed. Marcy assured me that it didn't sound like too big of a job - and after a previous electrician and contractor told me it was a big job. I was quite relieved! Steve my electrician worked pretty fast and seemed very focused on the job at hand. He also gave me a ton of great advice on hiding wires. I am so happy the new plugs are concealed in the wall! An hour and a half later I had a wonderful garage solution and a very clean looking job. It was everything I wanted. I will absolutely save them in my phone as an electrician to call. Yet another way Yelp helps link you to great businesses.

I would highly recommend Nadav and his team!  I bought my condo just over a year ago and was finally at the point where I could do some small improvements - first on my list installing ceiling fans.  One of my neighbors had recently hired Nadav and could not say enough wonderful things about his work.  I saw what had been done in her place and I jumped on calling him.  He came out a few days later and gave me an estimate for installing two ceiling fans (bedroom & living room) and correcting my bathroom plug (I had a friend do some work and it was just OK).  He gave me a reasonable quote and he was able to work around my request for a particular day of the week.  Nadav and his team showed up right on time and got straight to work.  Nadav had sent two of his team so the work went quick - they installed the two fans and repaird my bathroom plug in about 5 hours.  The electricians were professional, competent and clean.  They moved/draped my furniture and cleaned up after themselves.  They even explained all the features of the fans I had installed.  

While one never wants to need an electrician it's great to know I have found one I can trust and who does good solid work.

Thank you to Nadav, Marci and their team for being so customer service oriented...in this day it means alot.

We called Nadev and he came out later the same day. Very small job. We had a room that lost power and flipping the circuit breaker didn't work. He came right on time and was very nice to work with. He explained to us that the dimmer switch in the room that controlled the outlets was the culprit. He replaced it and all was good again. Will definitely use him again.

Let's face it:  these guys are ridiculously good.  We had random issues with our backyard lighting and water fountain pump.  The lighting problems were child's play for Victor and Nadav...I could almost see them flexing their electrical muscles and crushing the competition, Olympics-style!  The fountain pump...hum-m-m, not as familiar...but willing to give it a try.  They were fabulous:  bought a new pump and installed it on the same as they performed the lighting fixes.  Victor and Nadav are professional, thorough and fast.  I would recommend them to anyone.

I have track lighting in my condo and three electricians who have looked at it in the past failed to recognize the problem.  Based on Yelp review, I called Nadav and within the hour he was here. He spent about 20 minutes analyzing the problem, took care of it.  He was fair, fast and efficient and I would highly recommend him for electrical problems in anyone's home.  Thanks Nadav!

Nadav did a great job at my house!  The electricity in half the home randomly went out and he was able to find the problem pretty quickly (in the attic of all places).  He made a quick fix and scheduled a wiring replacement a few days later.  Nadav and another crew member came on time for the scheduled date and completed the job quickly/efficiently.  He even locked up the house behind and gave me a call letting me know upon completion.  I appreciate his quality efforts and would recommend him to anyone in search of a reasonable, knowledgeable electrician!

Adary Electric sure did an INCREDIBLE job for us and we would highly recommend them.   They replaced an old light fixture that was quite an eyesore over our dining room table.   After taking it down, I asked that they center the new fixture directly over the table, since it had been off centered for so many years.   It wasn't an easy task because I previously called in two other electricians who said it would be difficult and cost an arm and a leg.  Nadav came in,  gave me a very decent quote, completed the job with a smile and with his expertise had the job done within a couple of hours.  We now have a beautiful light fixture perfectly centered over our dining room table and have Adary Electric to thank for it!            Cindy H.

I tried calling other electricians at first then, I decided to look at reviews and came across Adary Electric, Inc. I am so grateful.  Maybe it was because my job was not a major renovation or new construction but regardless, all other electricians I called either never returned my calls or emails or they simply came for an estimate and then I never heard from them again.  Nadav, is the owner and I can honestly say that Customer Service is alive and well.  He and his team are very professional, timely and neat.  Their estimates are very reasonable and their work exceptional.  You can't go wrong with them.

During the first encounter I had with this place, I was extremely satisfied. Nadav works with a very competitive rate, is knowledgeable and courteous. Before making the trip to my place he called me and went though a triage process over phone to understand the problem. Finally when he came over, and started working, it turned out to be a much simpler problem and took him almost no time to fix. I then approached him with an issue with one of my AFCs and he fixed that too. I was happy to see how upfront he was and wanted to make me happy for the price I was paying. Will not hesitate to be a repeat customer.

I strongly recommend  Adary. I found Adary through Yelp, and he put a new electric box in our house. The price was very reasonable, and his crew and job turned out fantastic. He even called PG&E for us to get permanent connection after the job was done. However, PG&E kept delaying their job for 5 months, and later I found out that I needed a green permit sticker to get a permanent connection. The city  inspector  put the sticker on our box upon installation, but the sticker was already gone ( San Bruno is very windy, and 2 major storms hit San Bruno in that time period.) However, Adary was very thorough, he even took pictures of the job, and he sent me pictures with the green sticker, so I could finally get a permanent connection from PG&E. Without Adary's help, I couldn't get the job done and I would be stuck with a temporary connection. I really appreciate Adary's completeness, thoroughness, and follow through.

Love, love, love these guys. We have used them twice in the last year to run wiring for 2 new ceiling fans and pendant lights. Of course, that isn't hard in houses, but since I live in a condo, this was a much trickier endeavor. I would recommend these guys because they were on time, took precaution to lay down tarps, ran the wiring faster than the time estimated, and cleaned up after themselves. And since I have popcorn ceilings, they even patched the ceiling to resemble the ugly popcorn. Super professional AND skilled at what they do. The best electricians I have ever worked with and will continue to work with.

We hired Adary Electric to come hang a ceiling fan in our home today and I cannot emphasize enough how fantastic the service was from my first call until the job was completed. Mrs Adary was very nice, polite and accommodating on the phone when I called. I was delighted to not get a recording and actually be able to speak to  a live person.  Victor, who came to install the fan was very professional, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and very skilled. I called one day and they were at my home the next. They were very accommodating to my schedule, I was even late for my appointment but he still waited it out for me to get there and was still as pleasant as can be. I was quoted for approximately two hours,  thats how long the job took and how much I got charged. It was very fair. Great people, great service and we are super impressed all around. We will definitely use them again for our next project. Thank you Adary Electric.

I am going to replace my old dual 24 inch ovens to dual 30 inch convection ovens and needed to upgrade my old 30 amp line to 40 amp line plus change out my 220 volt line to a 110 volt line at my electric range to support the initiator on my gas range and 600 cfm ventilation hood.  I looked at yelp and found the many reviews on Adary electric right on the money.  I called Nadav and he called back, we discussed at time for him to review my needs.  He came over and gave me a quote the same time which was right in my calculated price window.  His solution was excellent.  He took the time to explain to me every detail as I had a load of questions as a DIYer.  The day of the work came and as promised was completed on time.  Matter of fact if was completed earlier as there were no issues as Nadav said may happen.  For that he reduced the labor time by an hour.  Since there were two guys thats 2 hours of labor.  How many trade people do that?  None that I know.  Nadav showed me the latest LED lighting which was very helpful in my next phase  of doing my kitchen.  In short, Excellent Yelper and would use Nadav and his crew again without hesitation.
