May be not the cheapest on the block but Steve's team has always been super professional and neat in their work. High on my recommendation list!

They have done a good bit of electric work in our living, dining, kitchen and garage. All of it was high quality and we have been able to enjoy for at least 5 years without a hitch.

I had a new outlet and a security camera installed, as well as other items. They did an excellent job. Everything was clean and replaced when they finished their work, and everything works perfectly.

While they were in the attic, they noticed one of our heater ducts was damaged. They showed me a photo of it and recommended I have it repaired. That is above and beyond.

My complements to Marcus and Daniel, the two electricians that came out. They did a great job!

We had a bad outlet for a while that caused intermittent black outs in the back half of our home. Thankfully Armes Electric responded quick to quote estimate and we were able to set up and appointment the next day and got it taken care of. Great service and reliable service. Thank you for the help!

Excellent service! Very friendly and worked clean. Replaced hardwired stove/oven and hood. Final cost came in under quote. I will be referring them to all my friends and I will use Armes Electric in the future for certain! It is such a relief to locate trustworthy electricians.

This should be everyone's go to electric company! They are most helpful, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. Besides doing work for me, they have twice assisted me over the phone resolving issues. Staff is great and electricians are excellently trained.
There is a reason they receive 5* reviews. A small business that makes a difference.
Highly recommend!

These came the same day and did a great job! They changed out a plug that was was triggering a GFI trigger and explained future steps to add a new circuit to split the current power load to stop future problems.

This is the second time I've used Armes Electric and I will not hesitate to call them again if the need arises. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and both times they were expert troubleshooters and quickly fixed the issues we were having. Also worth noting... I called them at 8am and they came out that same afternoon!
10/10 would recommend Armes.

Had a appliance breaker go out, reached out about 9 AM they put me on their emergency call schedule they reach back out at 12 PM and said they could get me and appointment, the guys showed up at 1 PM, fixed all and also did an odd job that I had wanted to get done, they had the time and took care of that as well. Very professional! Responsive and just very nice individuals. I would highly recommend

Everyone who has helped me from Armes has been wonderful to deal with. I will continue to use them for all my electrical needs. Thank you Armando and most recently for Tyler for your professionalism and help. I highly recommend this company for anyone who needs help.

Called this company out for some assistance. Beleive it or not some companies have people answering the phones who should not be answering the phones. From my first phone call to the job being completed was a 100% positive experience. The quality of people they send out to you in itsef was amazing. Kudos guys - in today's times it is very hard to find this level of service. Thank you

Great communication with owner when bidding and work crew when working on two ceiling fan installs

Crew makes judgement calls depending on their familiarity with the construction of your particular site and they present clear options to you of any challenges/tradeoffs

Highly recommend, thanks for enhancing our living room and home office!

Dalton and Joe, our Armes Electric installers were outstanding!!! They came to our home to put together a new fixture that we had purchased and to install it in our kitchen eating area over a dining table. They were very professional and attentive to keeping our home clean as they worked. Joe and Dalton took quite a bit of time to move the ceiling mount to a place that would be attractive over our table. They also installed a dimmer and a computer controlled switch. Thank you Armes Electric!!! We highly recommend you!

A friend recommended Pete. We had them install recessed lighting in the living area with a ceiling fan and it came out amazing. Armando and another gentlemen did the work. They had a lot of good ideas and suggestions on positioning. No strobing from the fan. What I loved was how well they did the plastic sheeting in the room to prevent the dust from going everywhere and cleaned up. They did light switches too. Also, no holes in my wall or ceiling to repair-- they did everything Everything came out great and it was a good price. Another electrician had quoted me double. Definitely recommend. Will use them again.

I had a wonderful experience with everyone I've dealt with at this company. The owner (Pete) was extremely nice and gave excellent advice when he came out to bid the job, and the electrician who let the crew that performed the actual work (Marcus) was also a consummate professional. Everyone was clean, thorough, considerate, and went above and beyond. If every company I dealt with was run like this one, the world would be a better place.

*Edited to add that unlike many other companies out there, they never once mentioned Yelp, or asked for a review.

Great customer service and communication. Needed 5 light fixtures installed. They were booked up. I really wanted these installed before a family gathering at my home. David kept me on a call list in case something opened up. I just knew after talking with him they would take care of me. They totally came through!! All 5 installed. Electricians were fast, friendly and did a perfect job. I could have probably found another company as I initially had time. But after talking with them, I could tell they cared. Great job! Thank
You Armes!

Smooth ceiling fan installation via Ethan, ceiling fan specialist, and Ian, with the electrical switch installation.This was not an easy task, with questionable attic space, vaulted ceiling and wood beam Good communication. Pete's pre-installation help via emails was a big help. As well as Meagan's phone support. Exceptional company. Very pleased. Recommended.

This isn't even about a recent job I had them do, but more of a consultation. I've used them in the past for projects and always had a great experience. I called them to check on some work someone (3rd party) had done on my home, and wanted to make sure the job was done correctly. They came out same day, followed up on my questions, and followed up day after. Follow through and customer service I have found lacking since I moved out to CA 4 years ago on any project that I plan on doing, but not with these guys. I won't use anyone else when I have electrical needs. As I was hanging up with them I told my wife, these guys are the best

Thanks for all your help!

Scope of work: Partial re-wiring of the house, complete breaker panel upgrade (125A), and new sub-panel for detached garage (70A).

I've never seen an army of electricians, but I was amazed that 8 professionals showed up to the house to take care of everything listed above in two days! Each of them was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Pete is very peculiar about who he hires, and it shows. Flawless, safe and to-code work. New wires were clean, well installed and older circuits in the house were studied prior and respected.

Communication is second to none, and they won't hesitate to come talk to you and show you what is happening and if any hurdles are encountered, provided with solutions. They all respected the property and left it clean.

To give you a little glimpse of how good they are, the new breaker panel, much bigger than the old one needed to be reframed in the exterior wall, and so some wall studs had to be cut and relocated. On the other side of that wall is the master bedroom that just had been freshly re-plastered. They removed the exterior stucco with a pneumatic hammer and cut the old studs without disturbing a single wood lath, and without cracking, breaking or damaging the new interior wall. Truly surgical work.

So if you have an old, original or historical property and need minimal damage during electrical upgrades, hire them, they are wonderful.

We hired Armes Electric to install a large ceiling fan in a very high vaulted ceiling. Several other companies said they would get up that high, so when Armes said they could and did the job for a very fair price. They came on time, we're courteous, and left the area neat and clean. We will be using Armes for future electric needs.

Since installing ceiling fans in 1999, Armes has been my go to Electrical Contractor. Today I had a whole house fan installed in the attic by Armando and his assistant and once again fantastic job. Great and polite attitude, efficient and explained process, operation best practices. They have previously installed outside security lights, indoor lights, added outlets, wired shed and five ceiling fans. They always take extra care for set up and clean up and each installer is so polite and also have great sense of humor. Highly recommend.

I really can't say enough great things about this company. I've used them many times and every single electrician that has come out has been wonderful to work with. They are kind, courteous, fair, do a good job and clean up with great detail when the work is completed. Pete (the owner) is also very fair and easy to work with if you have any questions or concerns. His customer service is top-notch and you will always feel like the services you received were done right at an extremely fair price.

This is my second time using Armes Electric and once again it was awesome! this time I worked with Collin and Joe. They installed two ceiling fans for me, a ring device and then backyard patio lights the kind you see at restaurants, etc. David from Armes recommended the ones from Costco and they are perfect, thanks David! Since they are the experts I relied on Collin and Joe as to how the lights should be installed aesthetically and they nailed it. From the owner Pete to the entire team they are great to work with. They follow up timely, clean up their work and are customer focused. Everything you want from a service provider. Thanks again guys and look forward to being able to refer you when I can. Keep up the great work!!!

My house has some interesting wiring and I became concerned about one room's outlets. I wanted to make sure they were grounded so i searched Yelp for a well reviewed electrician. I hired Armes Electric immediately after my first call because the person who answered the phone was so thorough and patiently explained how normal my house sounded and that the fix would be easy. He also told me that while the guys were out here I should have them do a free informal quote of any future work I wanted done. The guys who came to the house called because they were running early the day they were scheduled to do work. I said come on by and within a few minutes they told me that my situation was pretty straight forward. They were done in less than an hour grounding two outlets and fixing a third outlet that had a loose circuit and burns inside the box.

After they were done, they left the room clean and even checked out my garage where I want to add some outlets in the future. They gave me suggestions on things I could do but never did I feel like they were pressuring for more work. Amazing experience and they'll be in my contact list from now on for any and all future projects.

First time customer

As an avid Yelper, I try not to get overly excited when I see 5 star reviews, especially when it comes to home/contractors/vendors. I often have the attitude, well, let's see about that... often times filled with skepticism but yet hopeful.

Armes Electric was referred to me by a fellow neighbor who I trust. I am so thankful for the recommendation.

We live in an older home, about 60 years old and the wiring/electrical here in this house is a kind of a hodge-podge of wires that have no rhyme or reason as to why rooms were connected and wired as they were.

Pros:
-Armando and Daniel were super helpful. Armando was such an active listener and worked miraculously to troubleshoot a loose connection in the house that caused us to loose power to our vent hood.
-They went above and beyond, literally the electrical super sleuths trying to find out what and why we were out of power in one area of the kitchen.
-You definitely get what you pay for: $200 per hour + materials but they came back just as a courtesy visit because I had a question and they came out the next day and made certain that I was beyond satisfied and helped to explain problem/solution.
-Super friendly and professional. Armando and Daniel are kind, courteous, and polite. They clean up after themselves and take precautions to keep the area clean.

Cons: None

I am so happy to have found an electrician that I can put into my contacts whenever I need to tackle that HONEY DO List!

Thank you Armando, Daniel, and Pete for helping me with this Ol'House!

Jason came on the same day as when I told Pete about my project. They installed a light in a dimly lit dark hallway in under an hour! I love the efficiency and experience that they bring. They are my little secret!

I can't say enough good things about our experience today with Armes Electric.

The person in the office answered my call and despite the fact that it is Christmas Eve, was able to find a technician who had just finished another job and was able to send him right out to fix our circuit breaker that led to our stove and microwave being non-functioning.

The technician arrived quickly was super friendly and helpful and was able to diagnose the problem very quickly. He was actually able to solve the problem in a way that did not require replacement of parts which was very helpful and thoughtful.

We have a couple of other nonessential electrical items on our to do list then we will most certainly be calling this company back out to work with us on those after the new year.

Thank you for the great service and I'm looking forward to working with your company again very soon.

We purchased a fan from our favorite fan store The Trading Post, Casablanca fans. They recommend Armes Electric to install their fans. We have had great luck with them in the past and quickly set up an appointment to have this new fan installed. Armes installer's Collin and Connor came out to replace an old fan and replace with the new fan. Both gentlemen were courteous, professional and very neat. They worked very fast and neatly tied up the old fan and disposed of it in our trash can. They showed me how to to use the remote and placed the holder exactly where we asked them to. We have another fan downstairs that was making a noise on the high speed so they took a look at that while they were here. It was a good thing as they needed to shore up some things to make it more stable. These guys went above and beyond to make sure everything was completed and working well before they left. We'd give them a 10 star rating if it was available!

Rehired Marcus and team at Armes for a chandelier installation. Another A+ experience end to end. They take safety seriously, drilled the reinforcement wire to the roof. Hardware was installed to spec and neatly organized. Very happy with the result and would rehire Armes on any project requiring a professional to do the job and do it right.

I used Armes Electric to install an outdoor plug for my internet box. AT&T runs fiber to the side of the house and the box they install requires power. Unfortunately, there was no 110v outlet in the communications side panel.

From start to finish my experience with Armes Electric was absolutely fantastic. Every person I spoke to from making the appointment, confirming my appointment, as well as the actual install was professional, courteous and respectful.

As for the quality of the work: superb. Armando showed up on time, recommended a solution that worked for me, and explained exactly what he was going to do and why before starting on any work.

Armes Electric will definitely be my go to electricians going forward. Thank you all for a stellar experience!

I am late in writing this. Pete's team came and installed patio heaters, ceiling fan and ran new electrical conduit to our new patio cover in December, 2021

We've used Armes Electric many times in the past and have never been disappointed. They do EXTREMELY HIGH QUALITY WORK!!! If there is a problem, they are always willing to come out and address it.

They are not the cheapest. But the old adage is true in this case - you get what you pay for. They are professional, reliable and do excellent service.

Honestly, there are few business/contractors that I have worked with that have this level of my trust. They are excellent and I totally appreciate their high quality.

I would recommend them to anyone who wants high quality work.

Marcus & Juan (2 OUTSTANDING, POLITE & PROFESSIONAL service technicians) were at my residence last week on a service call. They executed the following PERFECTLY:
1. on-time for the appointment.
2. were friendly and relayed what the prognosis was in a manner that was easy to understand.
3. were courteous when it came to putting on construction boot feet-covers. (which was very cool because we just had the upstairs floor re-done!)
4. our final bill was exactly what we expected and there were NO SURPRISES (the line items on the receipt were also very descriptive and great for documentation purposes).
5. the service provided was IMPECCABLE.

long story short - i STRONGLY RECOMMEND Armes Electric Inc. both professionally AND character-wise (when it comes to the quality of service technicians employed by Armes). A+

Here is their website:

PS - special shout-out to Marcus for taking the time to educate me on what GFI and GFCI protection is!!!

I have used Armes 4 times since moving into my home. One major job was recess lighting thoughout the house. These guys are awesome. Very clean and neat installation. I have another project planned for exterior lighting and I will be using them again. The only downside is they keep costing me money. Keep up the good work guys.

Had an electrical issue on Christmas Eve and was looking for someone to come out the same day so I gave Armes Electric a ring. I explained my situation and they were willing to walk me through some potential solutions via FaceTime. We were able to resolve the issue smoothly and quickly (thanks to their wealth of knowledge and experience).
They could've sent someone out and charged me but their honestly and willingness to help won them a customer for life. Will definitely be using Armes Electric in the future and would recommend them. Don't have to take my word for it, check out the other hundreds of awesome reviews!

All I've got to say is wow! I unfortunately have a terrible memory for names, so I can't give kudos to the two awesome guys Armes sent out, but they deserve it! I was quoted a total that was more than what I ended up paying, so that for starters was amazing! The guys did a fantastic job, cleaned up after themselves, and were absolutely so kind. Proper covid precautions were taken. Replaced a fan/light combo, a LED bathroom light, and installed a new outlet in about 2 hours time. They even cleaned the dead bugs out of an outdoor light/fan for me! Couldn't recommend Armes more!

They were wonderful. For medical reasons I reaaaally need my air conditioner to work and of course it stopped working in July during July high heat. After going without and finding out from the AC guy that it was an electrical problem I called Aarmes...
They graciously came out almost immediately and got it working within hours. At a very reasonable price.
Will call for everything electrical!

Pete A came out and gave me a fair quote on job to get power to a new patio cover. He provided me with options that would work for my needs and did not try to upsell me, which I appreciated very much. A prior quote from another company started with....you need to change out this entire breaker box.... That may be the case, but let's talk the job at hand!
When his guys came out to do the work they were friendly and professional and did a great job. I especially liked that they asked me what my intent was for the patio and labeled everything for me which made my job of wiring lights, fans, and a TV very easy.
When I get to that breaker panel---I'll call Armes Electric first. Thanks for your work and expertise.

As a first time homeowner, it is tough to trust people to take care of work you want done in your home. When I rented, the company took are of it. Now that I own, it's a different ball game. The condo I purchased came with two canned recessed lights in the living room off to the side, but nothing in the two bedrooms. I contacted Armes Electric & left my information with Brian. The following day, Pete, the owner gave me a call & we setup a day to meet up for a walk through.

From the beginning, I could tell Pete liked what he did, knew what it involves, and was a stand up guy. He isn't just a salesman, he's legit in his word and talks like a normal human being. I asked for his opinion on how many lights would be a good fit for my living room with vaulted ceilings and he told me 4 was plenty (I had previously been quoted by another company that wanted to install 6). Same went with the bedrooms.

We chit chatted some more since one of the biggest things I wanted to get locked down was painting afterwords and lighting plays a big role. I asked between the kelvin's and he gave his honest opinion that 3K was a good natural white without the yellow tinge that a 2700K would give. If I wanted to go up, he said he could offer it for me to test which I found very helpful. We even swapped painter information because he said he recently had repainted his home gray and told me his story about it. He also recommended that I could go with tilted drivers to angle the light a bit better, but also said truthfully that my vaulted ceilings weren't that bad of an angle that I would need it. Again, he offered to install both if I wanted to try them out.

Once he left, I knew that I would like to do business with him. I got the quote, liked the price, and luckily today someone canceled so his team (Jason & Aaron) came over and within 5 hours they were in and out installing a total of 12 recessed lighting, removing the two old ones, installing dimmer switches, and also moving down a electrical outlet in one of the rooms for me.

They do not do dry wall, so for anyone looking to get any electrical done, get ready to get a painter or another contractor to do the work.

Compared to other companies, the price is equivalent if not just a little bit more, but you got Pete's name behind it & I feel he'll work with you if you ask.

5/5 for any electrical work & recessed lighting!

I used Armes back in 2014 for a routine job. I had an urgent need to fix a power outlet recently. I dug out my old receipt and contacted them. They were extremely polite and understanding of the situation. They told me that they have a heavy workload due to upcoming Labor Day weekend. However, they will try to do their best.

Within an hour, they asked if they can come by since a previous job finished earlier. The team showed up, identified the problem and fixed it. Very professionally done. Reasonable pricing.

Thank you!!

These guys here are who you call the real electricians. Pete has crews that are very knowledgeable and professional. Pete stopped by to see what the work entails before the scheduled date to make sure they will be fully prepared. The crew arrived on time, did their job efficiently, and left the house clean. There will be all these electricians who will quote you lower price on thumtack, and whatnot. But you get what you pay for. Yes they are not the cheapest companies you can find, but they will complete the job the correct way. I will be using them again in future.

The power in our kitchen was intermittent causing our fridge to switch off. Armed Electric was out the next day to repair the outlets and make it safe. They came back a week later to secure the rest of our outdated, hazardous outlets. They were fast, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. We will definitely go with them again for our electrical work!

After reading previous reviews I call Armes and spoke with Pete. I told Pete I expected a lot because of the rave reviews. They delivered!!!!!
These guys are great. Marcus was the lead on the job site and explained all they were going to do. The guys were clean and the work was perfect. I would highly recommend using Armes if you have any Electrical needs.
Thanks

I had an issue with a few outlets in my Kitchen. I called Armes Electric at 8AM and they arrived at noon and was able to fix the issue and change the outlets within an hour.

I would recommend their services

I wanted 4 recessed lights installed in my living room ceiling, nice simple job. I called a couple of handymen who both quoted me upwards of $3000 and said it was because there was no crawl space above the ceiling. That seemed unusually high to me, so I called Armes and they quoted me about a third of that. They installed the lights plus a dimmer switch in a couple of hours and I couldn't be happier with the results, I have as much light as I could possibly want and since they're LED they will last quite a while. Thanks very much!

We are doing a partial remodel of our kitchen and needed several things done. 2-220v lines moved from two different areas of the kitchen to a wall where our new cooktop and oven are going on. We also needed several new outlets and a vent hood connection added.

I spoke to Pete on the phone and sent him photos of the job. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was able to give me a bid that was mid range of the other 4 bids I had. I just liked Pete and his Yelp page. I liked how he had his picture and all of his employees pictures on there so I knew who I was talking to.

When we decided to hire Armes they originally couldn't come out for about 5 days. Luckily for me they had a last minute opening and came the same day. The crew (including Jason) were awesome. Very friendly and efficient. They were done in just about 4 hours. And the best part is they came in under bid! I will definitely hire Armes again for any electrical need!!

I contacted Armes Electric to help me fix the wiring in the kitchen/dining areas. Pete came to my house, listened carefully to what needed to be done and set up the date for repair. His daughter Megan helped me obtain all the permits and called for the inspection. The crew of 4 people came at 8 am sharp as promised and worked non-stop all day. They fixed all the wiring in two days. Very professional people. If you're looking for a good electrical company, go with Armes Electric.

I recently had two outdoor lanterns replaced at my house. The work was done by Armando and Aaron. They were professional, courteous, and worked efficiently and carefully.

Without question, I plan to retain Armes Electric for any of my future electrical work. I highly recommend this company.

I highly recommend this company. They did our outdoor landscape lighting. Marcus and Ian are so professional and friendly. They are very knowledgeable and have a great attitude. Marcus even took time out of his own schedule on his day off to come by our house to make sure that The lights were hitting all the right areas. Pete the owner runs his business so professionally and their customer service is outstanding. Thank you guys so much. I will definitely be recommending you to friends and anyone looking for an electrician.

I am so grateful to Pete!!!

My kids and I were in a bind and he took the time to help us out and fixed the problem.

Pete answered my call on a Sunday and I asked if he was on lockdown because of the corona virus. He absolutely was not and he fixed my dire problem.

Look no further for a topnotch and trustworthy electrician!

Thank you, Pete!!!

Excellent job done. I contacted Armes to install two chandeliers for our dining and entryway. The chandeliers were large and approx 40 lbs. The entryway very narrow and 18ft high. Pete responded to my estimate request. Patiently explained our options for mounting hardware and working a narrow entryway. Very friendly and helpful.

Ty and Nathan performed the install, also very friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciated their meticulous work to make sure everything was done right. The chandeliers from the manufacturer (lamps plus) needed some adjusting in the mounting hardware to properly balance and level. One also had arrived damaged. Ty and Nathan were able to reattach the broken piece and touch up color. Saved us exchanging a large chandelier and a second install. Appreciate this team exceeding expectation.

We had someone else booked three weeks in advance that needed to reschedule but we had another job that had to go in sequence.

We were left in a bind and called Armes electric for a quote and availability. They were able to make it work and we had them come out two days later. They called in advance and started work. We ran into some electric issues but nothing extreme on pricing. It took maybe about two hours to install two bathroom vents. They came out great. They covered everything and cleaned up any remaining dust.

Thank you Armes Electric for saving our timeline and doing a good job. We would consider them again.

We recently moved into South Orange County and needed to add a number of outdoor electrical outlets and repair some existing electrical work as part of a larger exterior and landscaping project. I called Armes and the gentleman in the office confirmed that Armes performed the services we needed and said that he would pass my information on to the owner Pete as he did all scheduling. After week without a call back, I called the office again, confirmed my earlier call and the fellow that I spoke with very politely apologized and said that he would get in touch with Pete again and that I should expect a call very soon. Five days later, without a call back from Pete or anybody at Armes, I easily booked the work to be done by another electrician. Customer follow up is obviously very poor. I place high value on communication and meeting commitments, which Armes failed at in this case.

Danny and his team did an amazing job updating our electrical outlets. They were friendly, professional, fast yet efficient. Great pricing. Would 10/10 recommend and use this company again. Thanks!

Professional, responsive and friendly.

I contacted Armes Electric about non-working electric cooktop and was scheduled a next-day service. Armondo and Collins came to run diagnosis and found a loose connection in junction box on the wall and a fried breaker in electric panel. Broken parts are replaced and the problem was fixed within an hour.

I would say the whole process, from the initial phone call with David to the field service by Armondo and Collins, is super smooth and professional. By the way, they are honoring the health protocol with face coverings during the covid-19 time.

Highly recommend!

Jason and his crew were unbelievable! We just moved in and had a long list of things to take care of. First and foremost was take down an ugly 100+lb. entryway fixture & install a new one in the 20' ceiling. They did an outstanding job painstakingly paying attention to every detail. Jason is an excellent communicator and very knowledgeable. The two people with him were equally friendly & easy to ask questions to. While one guy prepared to get the large fixture up, the other two completed other miscellaneous jobs around our house. No time was ever wasted time as they came prepared to answer our questions & get whatever we needed done. They definitely set themselves apart from any other contractor we've used with their friendly customer service, cleanliness and willingness to tackle whatever issue we asked them to look at.
We're already putting a new list together in anticipation of having them return!!!

This company was awesome! They knocked out the job in a few hours. Their lines were clean and measurements were precise. Love their work and would hire them in a heartbeat if needed again!

The technicians installed two new outlets. One was in an upstairs closet so we could keep our cordless vacuum plugged in and out of the way. The second was in an entryway so that a lamp could be plugged in without having a long cord visible. One job took more time than the other and while one technician worked on that job, the other offered to install the charging station for the vacuum.

Both technicians were friendly, polite, courteous, and skilled! There was a big difference between their professionalism and that of other electricians we have dealt with in the past. We won't hesitate to call Armes Electric again!

We have used Armes electric over the years and have always been happy with the quality of their work. Our most recent job was significant new and rewiring as part of a kitchen renovation, and we added a significant amount of work the day of. Armando stayed well into the evening on a Friday night to finish, way beyond our expectations and helping keep ahead of drywall the next morning! He and his partner clearly took pride in their work, highly recommend .

Hopefully took care of the problem. Time will tell. Will callback for future work

I love working with Armes Electric, they never disappoint every time I call.
This time Jason came out, so professional and courteous, in-n-out quickly and cleaned everything behind. He replaced my step lights and didn't even charge me because I was still covered by the warranty.
This is how every business should run.

I can't say enough positive things about Armes Electric. They're extremely professional, reliable, respectful, and tidy. We've used them on 2 different occasions, and they've exceeded our expectations. In a world of mediocrity, Armes is a standout for quality and service. I offer them my highest recommendation.

Armes Electric went above and beyond to install some outlets for us and updated switches. Dan was super helpful, punctual, gave a lot of good advice and super friendly. You can tell this company is very professional and know what they are doing. Would highly recommend and will use them on all future electrical work.

03/04/2021 12:00:00 SA

I had a very last-minute emergency and not only did they answer the phone right away, but got a team of two guys (Jason and Dalton) out within 30 minutes to help me! It was a very unusual and technical problem involving an outdoor elevator malfunction in our home...they somehow managed to resolve the issue and get it working properly in a matter of 30 minutes from arrival also. I could not be happier and more grateful for their professionalism, promptness, and skill. Highest recommendation and will use again!

Needed an old garage light replaced and new smoke detectors. All communications by email were effective and details worked out. Price was fair given the work required. Workers were a little late which happens but communicated well so i knew what was going on. Workers did a good job and cleaned up before they left. Will use again for sure.

Pete and his crew are the best electricians I've ever hired. I had a mess left behind by an incompetent contractor. It wasn't easy finding companies willing to fix or finish what another company did, much less did poorly. Pete came out to assess the work. He took video and showed it at his team meeting. YES, he actually has lunch meetings at a restaurant, with his crew to go over jobs etc. He showed the video as a lesson in what NOT to do. His crew arrived just ahead of schedule, did the work with SCE here to advise what they required. County inspector passed the work and closed the permit the next day.
These men are pros at what they do. I really appreciate an excellent contractor after dealing with total Bozos.

I was referred to Armes Electric by some friends. On March 10, 2020, Marcus and the crew came to our home to install LED can lighting in the kitchen, hallway, laundry room and master bath. The crew was extremely conscientious, polite, professional and meticulous. The results were truly amazing! So much more light now and loving it!

Also, on April 24, 2020, Marcus and another technician came back to mount a TV our back yard. They respected social distancing guidelines (and so did we) and cleanliness standards, worked very hard and did a fabulous (and very neat) job. We were so very impressed with their workmanship, knowledge, expertise and attention to detail. We are so grateful for them and will be using them in the future for other projects.

Our home was built in 1976 and we decided it was time for a major upgrade to the electrical system -- ceiling lights, fans, outlets, EV charger, service panel, and the infrastructure needed to convert the garage into a workshop.

We called Pete to arrange a preliminary walk through of our home and to discuss what we wanted. Pete showed up on time and was generous with his time and experience to help us determine the best approach for what was a massive job that included:

- A new 200 amp service panel plus 100 amp subpanel
- A 100 amp sub panel plus three 210 outlets and wire conduit for garage workshop
- Eight 110 outlets thought the house and garage
- Nineteen ceiling lights among three rooms
- Two ceiling fans
- Bathroom exhaust fan

Pete decided the best approach was to tackle the entire project in one day. He dispatched five trucks and a crew of eleven electricians to our home. It was an impressive the scene with the entire crew working in concert to complete the vast majority of the work that day. Only a ceiling fan was left that required a specific brace for installation at the peak of a cathedral ceiling (that was promptly completed a couple of days later).

We've been working with several contractors over the past 18 months and we can not praise Pete and his team enough. Pete and his team have set the bar incredibly high through their level of efficiency, professionalism, and care. We can't emphasize enough how they genuinely care about the quality of their work and the satisfaction of this customer. We had a few change requests after the fact the work was completed and Pete quickly had his crew come out and make adjustments.

It was a true pleasure working with Pete's team. We got to know each one by name and we are proud to say we are having Pete return for another phase of work to add two more ceiling fans and another bath exhaust fan.

I needed to hang a new ceiling fan, so I gave them a call. No problem, they came on time and did a great job. Super nice and my daughter loves her new fan! I would highly recommend them! If I need anything else, I will give them a call again!

Having an electrician come to your house can be very expensive. But the electricity in my home is not an area I want to skimp on.

My home is older, and so when I need help with re-wiring it upgrading, I wanted one that had great reviews. Armes didn't disappoint.

Yes, it cost $200 for 30 minutes of work, but they checked everything to make sure it was correct and up to code and fixed issues from the previous electrician.

They explained everything to me, and were very clean and respectful in my home.

Best of all, they came out the same day I called them. Fast, efficient, and thorough.

I highly recommend Armes, and will be using them for all my electrical needs from now on.

OUTSTANDING ! Don't go anywhere else for all your electric needs. From the moment you call and speak with Meagan who is amazing , so helpful and informative. I could not be happier. Everyone is always on time for all appointments. I have had Armes Electric installed all my fans and this time I had recessed lighting installed . Armondo and Juan did an amazing job and left my house cleaner then it was before they came. Armondo and Juan were so helpful and professional. I will never go anywhere else ! Thank you all again for another great experience. Can't wait to get started on the out door lighting.
Sincerely Carol Wimbish

Wonderful experience - I needed a photocell for outdoor lights replaced, as well as a smart doorbell install and a quote on an EV charger install. They were able to schedule and do all of these tasks at once - arrived on time in the morning and completed everything promptly, with everyone on the job wearing masks and keeping social distance. Pleasure to work with!

Steve F.

10/02/2021 12:00:00 SA

On time, professional and efficient. We had two ceiling fans installed from scratch and one bathroom vent fan. Fans were installed and balanced. I had a couple of questions regarding the installations and Ethan and his partner answered all my questions. Keep up the great work!

I talked to Pete at Armes today. He listened patiently as I explained what I was trying to solve. Once he had the full picture, he helped me prioritize the work in a way that that could keep the job with one contractor (but would not include Armes). He was selfless. Every thought he had was customer first. Made my day, can't thank Pete and Armes enough.

I had Armes out to replace an outside GFI outlet that went bad. They arrived same day and made quick, clean work of it. I really appreciated the great communication. I'm careful about who I let in my home but I'll definitely be calling them again. Thank you!

07/08/2020 12:00:00 SA

Wow! Outstanding work and service from Armes Electric. I sent out several bids for fan installation that needed wiring on an angled ceiling. Armes came in with the best bid and highest reviews on Yelp. Our local Facebook community, Mission Viejo Connection, also replied several times referring this company. Now I know why! Armando and Daniel came out to my home to install the fan this morning and spent a good two hours. I even had them install a hardwired carbon monoxide & smoke detector since they had the materials on hand and I kept meaning to replace my old one. Armando was super helpful with electrical questions, and he gave lots of useful tips on ceiling fans. Daniel was a perfectionist and paid attention to detail for my fan install and balance. There is no doubt that I will use Armes Electric for future electrical work. I've been thinking of an attic fan and Armando was very helpful providing resources and advice. Thanks again for the helpful tips, beyond fair pricing and quality workmanship. We will use your services again very soon.

As a general contractor for 35 years, when I need someone to do electrical work in my home, its hard to find someone I can trust because most of the trade contractors I work with don't want to screw around with residential service, a fan, a new switch or outlet....But we're hiring Armes Electric AGAIN because they are the best at home service work. They get the job done fast, so fast that I know it will be a bargain with a very fair hourly rate. It's so easy to schedule, they have enough great guys that they can respond super-fast, often the same day. The guy shows up, gets right to work and does the right job so that my new electrical works perfectly and I know its installed to current codes.

First off, I felt like I won the lottery to have been able to get in on your company's busy schedule. I found you through neighbors' reviews who say you are the go to guys. They were right. Truly appreciate everything including your scheduler because he spent the extra couple minutes beyond assessing our project urgency to calm concerns with safety. Your service guys were purely awesome with great communication, customer service, and problem solving skills. Dan and Adrian were able to troubleshoot the problem in minutes and thoroughly explained the fix. They were even able to squeeze in another project between their next job. I will definitely find more projects to get your guys out again.

I have done a lot of business and this company was beyond professional and Courteous! They installed and I wasn't aware of what walking in attic could do but this company has offered to do whatever it takes to paint or fix and then take payment. I'm quite shocked! We have been so busy that we forgot to have them do the repair. The owner called and not for payment but to make certain we got it fixed...

Exemplary service...we thank you!!!

Pete you're now my new best friend. I called Pete to see if could do some work for me, he was booked up for the next 2 weeks but he still was able to help me out. He himself came out to do the job. I found Pete to be very friendly, knowledgeable and a good communicator. I will surely be using his company for any future electrical work. Thank you again, also thanks for wearing a mask up on entering my home.

This is an EXCELLENT service company.
I had electrical issues with wall outlets in my living room. After analyzing the issue, they found three other faults. All were fixed. The work areas cleaned... and, it was over in less than an hour. Maybe the most important point was that the price was very reasonable.
I would HIGHLY recommend ARMES ELECTRIC.

We had to turn off our electricity because the main breaker burned and it wasn't something we could figure out. This happened around 7pm when most business are closed. We called a few places that stated they had emergency services, but none answered or returned our calls. We called Armes Electric and there was an option for emergency services that we could select. Pete answered and he was very professional and went above and beyond to help our situation. We decided that we could go on a night without electricity. The following day Pete came out and fixed our problem. Pete was knowledgeable, professional and gave us a good price on the services we needed. We will be coming back for our future electrical needs. Reliability and trustworthiness is important to us and Armes Electric has these qualities.

This company provided excellent service from start to finish. I initially messaged the company thru Facebook messenger and they replied in a timely manner. I was able to obtain an appointment within 24hrs. The technician arrived before the scheduled appointment time - and I was kept in the loop along the way. I had the technician run power to the exterior of my garage and install the Ring flood light camera that I had purchased. The total install took approx 1 1/2 hours. Both techs on site were professional and courteous. Their install went great and I will not hesitate to refer this business to friends, family and clients.

I found Armes Electric on Yelp because I needed a professional after my hair dryer killed the outlet in my master bath, and the outlet still didn't work after I replaced it. They were quick to respond and showed up wearing masks, which I appreciated. I wish I would have written their names down, I think it was Jason and Steven. Anyway, they found the problem and completed the repair in less than an hour. They charged an hourly rate of $200.00. It was worth it to me for piece of mind. Plus they were nice guys and I think they did a great job. This company will be my go to next time I have the need for an electrician. Thanks Armes Electric!

Dealing with the trades can be a real nightmare. Far too often tradesmen will stick it to you with poor results and high prices. But not Armes Electric! Today I called Armes because I saw smoke and sparks coming through the stucco wall where a gate was attached only three feet from my electric panel. Lights and outlets in different locations in my kitchen went dark. Soon after Armes sent a really nice guy who listened to what I said and saw. Quickly he diagnosed the problem, found several small related electrical issues that I had also been experiencing and cleaned the entire mess up. Now I have finally found a tradesmen I can trust. Five stars is not enough! Armes! I have some more work for you in the near future.

Really awesome customer service. I messaged Pete for a quote via yelp and he replied quickly, we had a quick phone call to discuss the service and he was able to give me an estimated quote based on what I needed. I wasn't ready to get the job done at that moment but I did end up calling again today and they were able to put me on the schedule the same morning. Ty and another gentleman arrived at the estimated time, was able to put a new outlet in my bathroom without having to cut too much drywall and completed the job beautifully in less an hour. Mess free, hassle free, just straight up awesome service and fair pricing. Would definitely use them again if needed in the future and would highly recommend them. All 5 stars reviews are very much legit.

You know how it goes, you come home from spending Thanksgiving with the family and the bathroom lights don't work, ugh! Since I don't have an electrician in my Rolodex I turn to yelp for help. The #1 ranked company in my area is Armes Electric and the reviews are amazing. I immediately message them hoping to have a reply by Monday, keep in mind this is late Thanksgiving night, and an hour later I get a response, yay!!! After a brief conversation on Friday morning, I have my superhero Danny at my residence by noon and ta-da!, all is repaired. I would give 10 stars if I could. Service exceeded expectations and the light in my bathroom has never been better. While Danny was here I had him replace an old light in my hallway and once again, fantastic lighting. I highly recommend Armes Electric, they are at the top of my list!!

Pete the owner is a blessing! Very long story short I thought I had an electrical problem and was in a panic for help because I live with my 90 yr old parents and we had no heat after a brand new furnace was installed. Pete returned my call (sorry I forget who took my original call but very kind man) asap on Saturday. After listening to me ramble on with what was going on, rather than charge me to come out to do an assessment of what it could possibly be he asked if we could facetime! Yes, and we did as I walked him around the house and to the breaker box. He told me it wasn't electrical. And guess what? He was right! The brand new furnace that was sold to us wasn't really brand new (that is another story). Anyway, Pete took the time on a Saturday to FaceTime with me to confirm it wasn't electrical at no charge! Yeah, wow still good people in the world. Seriously good trustworthy people. I can't thank you enough!!!

I called Armes to have two ceiling fans installed. They were on time and installed the fans with care and efficiency. The team was friendly, communicative and the job came in on budget. They also cleaned up the space! I highly recommend this quality business.

Two great guys came from Armes to double team replacing my bathroom light with an LED and replacing my doorbell. Couldn't have been nicer and I appreciated the masks they already had on. Wham, bam done. Love it! Thanks Pete!

We had to turn off our electricity because the main breaker burned and it wasn't something we could figure out. This happened around 7pm when most business are closed. We called a few places that stated they had emergency services, but none answered or returned our calls. We called Armes Electric and there was an option for emergency services that we could select. Pete answered and he was very professional and went above and beyond to help our situation. We decided that we could go on a night without electricity. The following day Pete came out and fixed our problem. Pete was knowledgeable, professional and gave us a good price on the services we needed. We will be coming back for our future electrical needs. Reliability and trustworthiness is important to us and Armes Electric has these qualities.

This company provided excellent service from start to finish. I initially messaged the company thru Facebook messenger and they replied in a timely manner. I was able to obtain an appointment within 24hrs. The technician arrived before the scheduled appointment time - and I was kept in the loop along the way. I had the technician run power to the exterior of my garage and install the Ring flood light camera that I had purchased. The total install took approx 1 1/2 hours. Both techs on site were professional and courteous. Their install went great and I will not hesitate to refer this business to friends, family and clients.

I found Armes Electric on Yelp because I needed a professional after my hair dryer killed the outlet in my master bath, and the outlet still didn't work after I replaced it. They were quick to respond and showed up wearing masks, which I appreciated. I wish I would have written their names down, I think it was Jason and Steven. Anyway, they found the problem and completed the repair in less than an hour. They charged an hourly rate of $200.00. It was worth it to me for piece of mind. Plus they were nice guys and I think they did a great job. This company will be my go to next time I have the need for an electrician. Thanks Armes Electric!

Dealing with the trades can be a real nightmare. Far too often tradesmen will stick it to you with poor results and high prices. But not Armes Electric! Today I called Armes because I saw smoke and sparks coming through the stucco wall where a gate was attached only three feet from my electric panel. Lights and outlets in different locations in my kitchen went dark. Soon after Armes sent a really nice guy who listened to what I said and saw. Quickly he diagnosed the problem, found several small related electrical issues that I had also been experiencing and cleaned the entire mess up. Now I have finally found a tradesmen I can trust. Five stars is not enough! Armes! I have some more work for you in the near future.

Really awesome customer service. I messaged Pete for a quote via yelp and he replied quickly, we had a quick phone call to discuss the service and he was able to give me an estimated quote based on what I needed. I wasn't ready to get the job done at that moment but I did end up calling again today and they were able to put me on the schedule the same morning. Ty and another gentleman arrived at the estimated time, was able to put a new outlet in my bathroom without having to cut too much drywall and completed the job beautifully in less an hour. Mess free, hassle free, just straight up awesome service and fair pricing. Would definitely use them again if needed in the future and would highly recommend them. All 5 stars reviews are very much legit.

You know how it goes, you come home from spending Thanksgiving with the family and the bathroom lights don't work, ugh! Since I don't have an electrician in my Rolodex I turn to yelp for help. The #1 ranked company in my area is Armes Electric and the reviews are amazing. I immediately message them hoping to have a reply by Monday, keep in mind this is late Thanksgiving night, and an hour later I get a response, yay!!! After a brief conversation on Friday morning, I have my superhero Danny at my residence by noon and ta-da!, all is repaired. I would give 10 stars if I could. Service exceeded expectations and the light in my bathroom has never been better. While Danny was here I had him replace an old light in my hallway and once again, fantastic lighting.

Great people to work with. Knowledgable about their business and gave me some great ideas on how to accomplish what I needed for a bit less work. Pete was on time when he w as fifuringnout the quote. The electricians arrived on time for the work. The two of them were hard workers, and got is all done I the time frame they quoted. They left the shop spotless and my staff are so happy they can see in that area of the shop. Thanks Armes Electric!

Armes electric has come through for me once again! We had a problem with our pool losing power for the filter. Long story. I called Armes and even though they were extremely busy before Thanksgiving they sent someone out that day to temporarily get our filter up and running. Then came out to permanently fix it about a week later. They didn't want our pool to be without a filter working for that long! They are wonderful and I trust them completely. This is the second time we have had them out. The first time was because someone had really messed up our electrical in our house that we had just bought. It was a major deal plus we wanted them to put in canned lighting and ceiling fans. They had a crew come in and it was all fixed and done with in a day. I can't recommend them enough!!

Marcus came out to set up our Nest doorbell today -- our doorbell had been broken for like a year & we didn't know why. Marcus did an awesome job figuring out what was wrong with the doorbell and getting the Nest installed, all in like an hour. We paid exactly what we were quoted, which was less expensive than quotes we'd gotten from other places. Highly recommend.

I've used Armes Electric a couple times now, and I've been very impressed with the final results both times. The first time was to install security lights and replace some existing fluorescent light fixtures with LED or LED-compatible fixtures. The second time was to replace a bunch of aging smoke detectors with newer models. There was a small glitch in how this work was done the first visit (partly due to some miscommunication on my part), but Armes came back out and made everything good the very next Monday (the next business day). Very impressed. Everyone is different, but I look for reviews to see how businesses handle things when things don't go perfectly the first time. Armes Electric aced that test. I would definitely use them again if I need similar services.

08/06/2020 12:00:00 SA

Armes was great! Ty and Daniel showed up and they were polite, knowledgeable and helpful. My home required 3 two-story light installations and several bathroom lights in two newly remodeled bathrooms. One even required them to connect lights through a very large mirror. It all worked out great! They didn't even mind my nervous questions and small changes! I will use Armes again! I was very pleased. Great, professional job!

Great service! Having an electrical issue during this crazy coronavirus times was not good timing. My regular contractor stopped working for two weeks. The next guy I called texted me back but would not answer his phone. When I called Armes based on Yelp reviews, Pete immediately answered and was very helpful over the phone. He took the time to explain possible issues to me and what the costs may be. Their initial service fee was a little higher than some others, but when it comes to electrical issues, I really didn't want to take chances.
He had two guys at my house within 30 minutes! They figured out and solved the problem, and the overall bill was reasonable in my opinion.
The two guys that came out were very polite, professional and knowledgeable.
Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this company.
I would not hesitate to call them any time I have an electrical problem.

Highly recommend. I needed a large ceiling fan installed and called Armes Electric. I also have a heavy glass table that needed to be moved for installation. Scheduled an appointment for the following day. Pete came with another electrician. They put a rubber mat down after entering the kitchen from the garage and also coverings on my floor when working. My fan is blowing lots of cool air and looks beautiful. Very satisfied.

Annabel D.

3/22/2021

Pete and every person that works for him is amazing! He responds right away, I'm scheduled asap and their work is impeccable! It's very difficult to find solid electricians and I will never have anyone work on my house but Armes Electric. They have my business for life and I highly recommend them!

Armes Electric installed two pendant lights for us a couple of weeks ago, it didn't go flawlessly but the company fixed the mistake right away no questions asked, for me that is the true test of a company. I contacted them again and they replaced multiple old electrical outlets in our living room and bedroom. I will continue to use them for any other electrical needs and highly recommend them!

Steve P.

3/21/2020

I had some ballasts that were old and not working. Armes Electric was able to come out in a timely manner and recommended going to LED lights which would last longer and be brighter. They installed them at a reasonable price that they honored, did the installation in a short amount of time and cleaned up after they left. The whole process was efficient and very professional. Good company to use!

Wow! These guys are the real deal. I had a simple dimmer switch to replace, but got my wires tangled, literally.

I was afraid of finding out what an electric chair feels like, so I called multiple electricians to come out. All were charging about the same rate and all were willing to take my money for the 5 minute job. (And no, YouTube did not have the walkthrough for my particular circumstance.) Except these guys - these guys walked me through the wiring process over the phone and refused my offer to pay them for their time with me.

They were friendly and professional and were obviously more interested in the repeat work and referrals over making a quick buck. In my view, that's the best way to run a business.

I have other electrical work that the house needs and these guys certainly have that business coming their way.

These are the type of people you wish were every contractor you call. They are honest, responsive and do not take advantage of an insurance claim like others I have encountered in my nightmare journey through a water leak. I tried others and had to get involved when the job was taking much longer than it should and I found out that no city permits were pulled by the other contractors. Armes employees have even helped me navigate the maze of work that had nothing to do with them.

I didn't have to wait long for an appointment, but even better, they moved me up when they had some extra time earlier in the week. They did their work quickly and charged me reasonable rates. I cannot recommend them more highly and strongly believe that they will be professional and responsive with your needs, including telling you if they cannot help. I wish everyone was like them.

Oh, and they can use my bathroom anytime.

Had them come out to replace a ceiling fan, install Ring Floodlight Camera Motion-Activated Security Cam, and fix outside landscape lighting issues. They sent 2 people so the work went so much quicker. They came on time and were very knowledgeable and personable. They were extremely helpful in setting up the Ring security camera and helped us configure the phone app. They cleaned every area up after they finished. The prices they quoted me over the phone were the same as what I was charged. No extra work or fees were charged.

I will always call them for anything electrical!!!

Armes Electric was great at helping us with our problem when we had a broken breaker. They instantly responded after we inquired about services and didn't even jump to trying to charge me for a consult. They gave us advice on ways we could fix the issue without having to spend any money. After it was determined that we need someone to come out, the technician was out quickly and fixed our issue. He also gave my husband advice on how to fix other things around the house. Overall great company and would be happy to use again.

I am an interior designer and used Armes Electric for one of my client projects. The crew hung a double height chandelier in the foyer and a chandelier over the dining room table. They were prompt, efficient, and professional. My client and I were both super happy. I will definitely be using them again in the future! Thanks!

They came 30 minutes early, granted I was probably the first appointment of the day, but nevertheless impressive. Worked with me on circuit breaker/ kitchen outlet issue with professionalism. They even took the time to educate me how the original builders plan out the kitchen outlet build. I will recommend them to all our neighbors.

I like this company. Pete called me back promptly, and after I explained the issue, he suggested I call My power company first, as it may be their responsibility. This was a very customer first thing to do.

ultimately i did need to call Armes to make the repair. They came right out and had the issue resolved quickly.

First class repair guys and first class company. I highly recommend Armes.

Pete, the owner, came to my house to survey my request to estimate the cost to put in a Transfer Switch Box from my main panel that would enable my portable generator to feed 10 breakers if there were an electrical blackout.
From the get go I liked his friendly personality and how he described what would happen before, during, and after the job was completed.
I received two other bids from recommended companies and decided on Armes Electric. Awesome work, Jonathan and Daniel arrived on time, very personable, did their work with no interruptions to my family and were so respectful understanding that we were concerned about the Covid19 virus and staying in. When they were finished, everything was tested and 100% perfect. They even cleaned their work area as if not having been there. The bill was exactly as we had agreed and better than the other two estimates.
I give them 10 Stars and whole heartily recommend them. Thanks Pete, Jonathan, Daniel!

After reading many, many reviews of Electric Co on Yelp, I decided to use Armes Electric based on the numerous good reviews. I was not disappointed! In fact, I was very thankful that I chose this company. They sent out 4 electricians to prepare my duplex for central air. They were on time, friendly, very efficient and professional. They did a fantastic job and completed it in 4 hours. The final invoice was much less than the original quote which was great. If you need any kind of electrical work done, you won't be disappointed if you choose this company.

Armes was recommended to me by Trading Post Ceiling Fans. We had some problems with fans up in a 20 foot + ceiling. I was nervous that I needed new fans, but they were able to troubleshoot and fix the existing ones in no time at all. We also had them switch out almost 20 outlet boxes that were loose.
Although they are located in Laguna Hills, they came all the way up to Yorba Linda. They were exactly on time, friendly and professional, efficient and skilled. I would call them again for any work I need in the future. Their price was more than fair for the work performed. I am happy on every level. Thank you!

I recently moved into a new home and called them to assess my panel , circuits in the kitchen, asked about new outlets, etc. The dispatch was helpful and scheduled me in a busy time several days in advance. The two technicians showed up after the window I was given and quite frankly didn't seem happy to be here. The items they fixed were done well...replaced a gfci, and several outdoor lights were replaced and a connection fixed. I had asked about rectifying too many appliances on a circuit and that was basically poo-pooed as unnecessary. I asked for an estimate to install outdoor outlets and upgrading the panel. I didn't receive the estimate until i followed up several days later. I replied right away asking if they would consider a discount if I paid cash and have never received a response. I guess several thousands of dollars of a job isn't worth good customer service to them. I will be going elsewhere for me electrical needs. Also both technicians used my bathroom while they were here which I find unprofessional since they were only here a short while. Most of all it was the attitude and lack of enthusiasm that made me uncomfortable.

Fyi: the reason this was submitted 8 months later is because somehow it was in drafts and never posted , so I posted it after I saw. While I appreciate the owner response after my review, it doesn't change my experience. It certainly was not a 5-star experience

I would like to start off by saying I have never written a Yelp review before, but I felt it was necessary. I want to express my gratitude and I'd like to help other home owners find the best electrical company in Orange County. It was an absolute pleasure working with Armes Electric, from the first call with David to speaking with the owner Pete. The professionalism, knowledge and personal attention is outstanding! 10/10. I had an issue with my old electric panel. One of the main wires coming from the riser showed heat damage, which was a fire hazard. I ended up losing power to over 70% of my home. I called 14 Yelp electrical companies and they all failed in comparison to Armes. The other companies told me that they do not repair old panels, and they couldn't find the part needed. Most of them tried to sell me a costly upgrade. For the panel repair, I received quotes from $396 to $1,200. Also, these companies were not able to come out for weeks. The process of getting an upgrade would have taken me weeks with permits and I did not have time to waste. My repair was an absolute emergency and no one could help me until I spoke with Armes. The owner Pete listened to me and he was very sympathetic and concerned about my problem. Pete is honest and truly cares for his clients. I spoke with him late Thursday night and by the next morning he had found the part and had a crew at my house at 9am. When Jason and Juan arrived, they were on time, friendly and polite. They both wore masks and practiced social distancing. They answered all my questions and concerns and made sure everything was taken care of before they left. Armes literally saved my home from a potentially dangerous situation, and they saved me thousands of dollars on a costly upgrade. I am beyond pleased with my whole experience with Armes. I made the mistake of not calling Armes first. Do yourself the favor and make sure to call Armes first. You will save time, save money and you will be completed satisfied with the services.

We recently hired Armes Electric for a complete upgrade to the lighting in our new home. Working with Pete and the team was great. Every member of the crew was super professional and respectful to us and our home. They were responsive and accommodating to every aspect of the project, from the planning and permitting, to the engineering and installation. They finished the work perfectly on schedule before we moved in. We are super happy with the advice and upgrades they provided. It's amazing how much lighting affects the experience of any space and the work they completed has truly transformed our home. We will definitely work with Armes Electric the next time we need an electrician.

A-MAY-ZING!!! I cannot say enough good things about this company. Following an arc in the main panel and a completely melted feed, we spent nearly 2 weeks going back and forth between Edison to look at the main power panel and our home warranty (First American you suck and so does M K Electrical Services that you sent out for the inspection). Following the inspection, we were told by First American that the entire panel would need to be replaced, that it was considered an upgrade and was therefore not covered. I turned to Yelp to start calling around for quotes, found Armes and gave them a call. Jason H - aka Superman as I now refer to him after bending that copper busbar - indicated that a replacement would indeed mean some costly upgrades to meet code and he would do his best to make the repair. BOOM! 3 hours later all better, full power, and a shiny new bus for literally a fraction of what it would have cost to replace the panel. Thank you Jason for the honesty and integrity you bring to your trade. Needless to say, Armes is on my home repair speed dial. Too bad they don't do plumbing!

After reading other reviews, I decided to hire Armes Electric to install a ceiling fan in my master bedroom. On the day of my appt. Colin called to say they were available a little earlier, and I was fine with that. He and Scott did a fabulous job on my fan. My biggest surprise was when it was time to write the check, the amount due was LESS than my quote! Very honest, friendly company and I will definitely use them again.

Robert B.

10/09/2019 12:00:00 SA

I had a ceiling fan installed that required reconfiguring a recessed ceiling light and installing new wiring. The Armes team demonstrated their attention to detail, their knowledge and care of my condo. From the beginning I was favorably impressed with the office staff and when I had to reschedule the appointment that I had made the office staff made the rescheduling as painless as possible with their understanding. The work crew arrived at the scheduled time. My furniture was covered to protect from dust. They worked efficiently all the while keeping me informed.

This firm has a well deserved five stars.

They came on time with masks on their faces. Marcus and Johnathan greeted me and made me feel comfortable right away. We had to wait a while for them to come out, but that's expected with Covid. I also told them I was not in a rush to get it done. They came out to pigtail all my light switches and outlets because the house is wired with aluminum. They also fixed the light in my bathroom and fixed an outlet that wasn't working. They were upfront with pricing and very friendly, even my chihuahua liked them. They showed up with 4 guys and got the job done fast. When they left it was like they were never here, except now I worry less about fires and my light and outlets all work! If I ever need and electrician again I will be calling Armes.

Superb Experience!!! We live in south OC and my property needed badly the electric work. I reached out to few people and couldn't connect with them. While passing by my neighborhood I ran into Armes electric van and asked the guys for the business card -- Thats how the journey started !! Their work is authentic, very professional, super cautious about health conditions and very accommodating. Entire crew wore masks all the time. I had a great experience and actually, we are very happy to get the work done through them. Shout out specially to Jason, Dalton and Ian !! This trio gets the Job Done!! Pete himself is a super nice guy -- he even met me at Home Depot and helped me with the peripherals I need else it will be a nightmare... Thank you guys, we appreciate your help.

I've had Armes Electric come out twice to my home in the last couple of years, once to have 3 ceiling fans installed, and more recently to have them place an outlet in my patio where there previously were none and to update a couple of outlets to GFCI. Each time, they came on time, performed all the jobs up to and exceeding my expectations, were very professional, efficient, cimmunicated well, and left their worksites clean. Can't say enough positive things about them.

Had Marcus and electrician come out to install a 240 outlet in my garage for my Tesla, very professional. They did a great job, were neat and invoice was below estimate. I would definitely use Armes Electric again!

Pete and his awesome crew came out to our house to install several light fixtures, an attic fan and specialized light switches. They also installed a special type of switch that enables us to turn off a heated towel bar that a former General Contractor did not complete. They were very knowledgeable, professional, patient with our requests and polite. We will definitely be looking to them to get our electrical needs done in the future. I highly recommended them. -JB

Excellent work!! We had 2 ceiling fans a chandelier and a pendant light that needed to be replaced.
After my initial call and arranging a time the electrician showed up promptly and was very neat and professional.
Thank you for a great job at a fair price.

Complete professionalism with this company!! Excellent service, high quality, and dedicated team. New can lights all over the place and we love the added light. We will definitely call them again for any of our future electrical needs. My husband said to give them a 6 Star rating!!! We are very happy.
This is what I shared on Nextdoor:
WOW! Had a great experience with this company that I have to share with all of you! The owner, Pete, is a true professional and his crew are top notch. They take care of you like family and so customer oriented. We had can lights put in all over the place and we love it!
The best part is they lived up to the 5 Star Yelp rating!
Kudos to all of you that rate on Yelp! Very helpful!!
Give them a try (949) 855-9814 and let us know what your experience is too.
Thanks!!!

My visit was on 3/7. I was called and said I was after lunch and would be updated on arrival. At 2pm I called and asked if it was after lunch. Apology was given for not following up. Around 3pm Jonathon showed up. I showed him the side of my kitchen where my electrical problem was. He asked where the electric box was, I showed him, and he flipped the switch and said that will be $150 dollars. He was at my house no more than 5 minutes. I ended up giving him a check for $100. Not end of story. 2 days later power was gone again same area. Hired another electrician who actually tested at the box and fixed it. My advise is to not call Armes. Very unsettling experience.

FOLLOWUP 3/14/18 Owner Pete called me. He was very concerned about my experience. We spoke about my perception of the issue and his employees' perception and came to the agreement that bottom line he wants his customers to be happy so he agreed to return my check and I agreed to give them another chance at a later time.

We have used Armes Electric three times since moving into our home in 2014. Each instance, they have arrived on time, quickly identified the issue(s), and completed the work efficiently and neatly. The technicians have worn masks without asking on their most recent visits and they always have a pleasant and positive demeanor. Their cost structure is fair. My highest recommendation.

Shannon S.

04/01/2017 12:00:00 SA

Professional, clean, and timely.

Jason & Justin installed 10 dimmers, under cabinet LED's, installed a closet light, relocated switches and installed & moved electrical outlets in our kitchen. Excellent craftsmanship and skill.

They show up on time, are respectful of the home, and have reasonable pricing. Highly recommend to anyone.

We had an electrical issue with our AC breaker. We called Armes to come out, and they were able to send a nearby technician to come out the same day. They have exceptional customer service, great expertise, and are reasonably priced. David who answered the phones and communicated with us was particularly great. We will definitely keep using their services in the future for all of our electrical needs.

I called Armes Electric about an electrical issue that had progressively gotten worse in our home-- power out in 3 outlets, then 5, then 7, then finally our sprinkler system was shut off. I found myself watering my lawn before the sun rose and thought, even though this is a time of COVID19 and I am high risk, I really NEED to get this electrical situation squared away. I called and left a message. Someone named David called right back and was really knowledgeable listing some of the things it could be. I told him of my COVID19 sensitivities and he assured us that their guys would do as much as they could to the level I was comfortable with, and also that they use booties, gloves, and masks on all their jobs. That put me at ease. An hour later, I got a call from the owner, Pete Armes himself, who totally got it and even offered to help me right over the phone with FaceTime at NO CHARGE. How amazing. He walked me through it as I showed him the switches and buttons and he said what to push or flip-- and voila! Everything is back up and running perfectly.
He wouldn't even accept payment. I told him I had to give him a great review on Yelp, so here I am. Armes Electric are a knowledgeable, courteous, understanding team led by a kind hearted owner who truly wants to help people-- and does expertly! They made a HUGE difference to us which means a LOT in these crazy days and always.

Bottom line: They were knowledgeable, they empowered us to fix the problem by walking us through step by step over the phone (which was important during COVID19), and they didn't accept payment. They are true electricians who get satisfaction of helping people with their electric. And now, they have earned a lifelong customer.

Pete was awesome. He helped walk me through an electrical repair over the phone and didn't charge me for anything. Just wanted to help me out the best way possible. Most contractors would want to come out and charge you for the repair, but he was willing to give up his own time to see if I could do it myself. What a nice guy and will definitely look to use him again for any electrical repairs in the future!

Natasha T.

05/07/2020 12:00:00 SA

WOW nicest guys ever. Just scheduled an appointment with them and the guy on the phone was very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to hiring them.

Armes replaced a ceiling fan hanging from a 19' ceiling and replaced a light timer in the garage. I called a few weeks back to set up the appointment and get an estimate. I spoke to David who was very helpful answering some additional questions regarding the fan itself to be sure I was buying one that would work in our room. Today, electricians Ty and Scott did the installation. They were very knowledgeable, professional, worked quickly and followed my lead by keeping their anti-COVID masks on the entire time without me having to ask. The entire experience was flawless - great job all around!

Jeremy G.

09/06/2020 12:00:00 SA

Pete is incredible. Our AC went out and wouldn't turn back on during this heat wave. Multiple electricians told me they'd come out for hundreds of dollars but Pete offered to FaceTime me for free on a Sunday and walked me through exactly what to do on the main breaker panel. He's a blessing and I will be keeping his phone number for all future electrical work.

It was a last minute request for an electrician and they were able to come the day requested. They were on time, efficient, clean and fixed the issue. Would use them again.

Had a discussion with Armes Electric about installing a level 2 charger in my garage. Pete was great to talk to on the phone, explained everything I asked about in detail and patiently, and after a few days I called back to put the job on their schedule and have the install done. Ty and Nathan came to the house today, quickly and efficiently did the work as requested and I am extremely happy with the result. I recommended Armes to my brother already and would happily recommend them to anyone else who needs electrical work done. We have other projects around the house and Armes will definitely be the first company I call.

I had a particularly vexing issue with 2 breakers repeatedly tripping -- a short that would erratically trip the breakers. I knew this wouldn't be straightforward, as there were multiple elements, including the pool equipment, pool lights, outside gfi plugs and a string of receptacles inside the house. I tried to trouble shoot on my own but finally needed professional help. Jonathan initially came and we mapped out the circuits. He checked all the connections, cleaned up the junction boxes and a few nicked up connections. Things looked ok, but the problem recurred. He came back and disconnected parts of the circuit, so we could sequentially eliminate the possibilities. Finally, we figured the problem had to be with part of a buried conduit. Pete, the owner came out for an estimate. He was very pleasant and straightforward. Jonathan came back with a lead colleague (sorry, do not recall his name) and they diligently and efficiently rewired the affected portion through new conduit.

This took several visits due to the trouble shooting part, but I appreciate their thoughtfulness and stepwise actions -- rather than unnecessary work and expenses. They did a great job, communicated well, and came in under the estimate. Thanks!

We have done much work on our many homes and have gone through many contractors and electricians. Armes Electric stands out as being one of the best. They are professional, courteous and reliable (we had Danny and Jared). They really know their stuff and were also helpful even with design ideas. They are experienced, efficient, and clean. We had recessed lighting (11 lights) installed all over the house, some in difficult to reach areas, and with some tricky wiring/switches. We also had them fix a large difficult-to-reach ceiling fan that was installed improperly by our previous electrician (it was making an irritating clicking noise before). It seemed there wasn't anything they couldn't do. Their prices were reasonable, and their work was top-notch. I wouldn't hesitate on working with them again.

Don K.

02/09/2017 12:00:00 SA

Ive worked with Pete and his crew for many years now. Always very courteous and professional. Competitive and fair pricing and guys who know what they're doing. Give Armes Electric a call for all your electrical needs. You'll be glad you did.

Daniel R.

05/12/2020 12:00:00 SA

Once again today, I utilized the services of Armes Electric with excellent results. It was a major project that was handled by Jason and Collin who were efficient and showed great pride in their work. I couldn't be happier with Armes Electric, everyone from David who took my initial service request, to the entire team in general. Without hesitation I highly recommend Armes Electric for any of your electrical needs, I certainly will be using them again!

Brian P.

05/07/2019 12:00:00 SA

I called Armes Electric and they were able to come out the next day to update some dimmer switches. Danny and Aaron were awesome - prompt, friendly, and handled the job quickly and cleanly. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

Duong V.

05/07/2020 12:00:00 SA

Pete was kind enough to provide some quick troubleshooting to try and save me the cost of a service call. Unfortunately that didn't work, but his guys came and helped me resolved my issue. They were wearing PPE, friendly, courteous and very informative. Would definitely use Armes Electric again in the future!

The electricians are superb! The three individuals wired four rooms for fans/lights. We did not have outlets in the ceiling so it was a challenge for them to get the wiring through the ceiling, and install the fans with lights. They also did dimmer switches for each room. They were very very careful cutting into the walls and did minimal damage, and did not leave a mess. I would highly recommend this company to do any installation for fans/lights and switches.

Great service from Armes Electric. They came out within hours of my call and resolved my issue quickly and professionally. I had a circuit go out from overuse, and after the normal troubleshooting of resetting the breaker and GFCI outlets, I called these guys. They found some faulty wiring behind one of my outlets and promptly fixed it. Price was reasonable. I'll be using them again for any future electrical issues I have.

Thomas R.

6/29/2020

Had a foobar with a circuit in our house and Armes Electric was recommended on Next Door. Gave these guys a try and had the problem fixed in the next day or two. Later that day I accidentally tripped the circuit breaker again due to a bad outlet and they were able to come by the next day on the way to another job to fix that at no charge. Great work and reliable. Definitely recommend this company.

I could not be happier with these folks. Christmas Eve, lost half the plugs in our upstairs... no pop, no smoke... no explanation. I frantically called a couple of highly-rated folks but unsurprisingly they were unavailable to help until after the holidays. Then I called Armes, and I was greeted by a cheery and sympathetic ear who was willing to send out a team to help. Within the hour, I had two wonderful electricians at my door. They VERY quickly figured out the problem, all the while being super helpful and explaining what the issue was and what they were doing about it. As it turned out, I had live wires that had basically pulled free in an outlet... potentially pretty dangerous. Within no time, problem solved... all for a very reasonable cost.

Honestly, one of the very best experiences I've ever had with a service-based company. I will never call any other electrician.

Pete was a lifesaver for my family today, especially during this tough time! Our fridge was on a tripped breaker that seemed to be unable to be reset. He was able to help us to fix the problem quickly with minimal fridge downtime. Definitely five star emergency service! He has earned a repeat customer in me!

I hired Armes Electric to come to my residence and install 4 outlets, remove a phone jack and outlet, and replace a light fixture outside. I had 2 electricians named Jonathan and Juan come out. They were fantastic!!! They were professional, clean, efficient and up front with the price and time it would take to complete the job. I received other quotes from other competitors, but some were double. The gentleman who I originally spoke to, whom I assume was the owner, was easy to speak to and pleasure to deal with. They really helped me out since I needed this job done within 3-4 days. I would definitely hire them again. Thanks Armes Electric!!!!

Bryan T.

Reached out to Armes and Pete had super fast communication and scheduling. He sent his team out and they called when they were 30 min out and arrived 5 min early.

I asked them to check functionality on my smoke alarms plus fixing the outdoor outlets and they had completed this all in a bit more than an hour. Awesome job... his team walked me through why I had the issues and fixed them perfectly. 100% satisfied and will use them again when I have electrical issues!

Pete the owner of Armes is incredible. He went to extraordinary measures to insure my In Home Theater was installed properly yesterday . It was a difficult job and I have to admit I was a difficult customer . This was the second time I have used Armes . The first time his company installed lights under my garage. They did an outstanding job. The crews that have come to my house have been professional and nice. Their prices are reasonable. I would definitely recommend them for all your all your electrical needs

Made a huge mistake buying a 700 pound chandelier that nobody wanted to hang on my 20 foot ceiling. The ceiling needed to be specially reinforced and I had bids upwards of $6,000 to hang this stupid thing. Finally decided to bite the bullet and pick a contractor. I didn't go with the lowest bidder. I went with the guy who seemed most professional, competitively priced ($2500) and a decent human being. Pete Armes came out to give the quote and then sent out a fantastic crew to get the job done.

Marcus, Spenser and Armando did excellent work and were an absolute pleasure to have in my home. Sometimes, I am uncomfortable with having workmen around my teen-aged daughter. (Okay, I'm not comfortable having most men around my teen-aged daughter.) These three guys were so polite and kind, I felt completely at ease with them. They worked efficiently and very carefully. They covered everything to make sure nothing was damaged and they managed to finish the entire job in a day (whereas a couple of the other quotes estimated it was a three day job). Afterwards, they cleaned everything up and even helped me put in some light bulbs that were too high for me to reach. They were hard-working, polite and super nice guys. Thank you for a job well done, Armes Electric!

I've been using Armes Electric for over two years on 3 different occasions for electrical work on our 50 year old home. We've had them install can lights, add outlets as needed, run electrical and drill through our stucco walls to set up security cameras, fix old outlets - you name it. They are professional, on time, they clean up after themselves, and their pricing is fair. The owner, Pete, also responded to an emergency call on a Sunday recently and sent one of his crew out to fix an outlet that had sparked and melted. I cannot thank them enough for being available when we needed them. Pete and his team will definitely be our electricians for life!

Keyvan P.

We had problems with shortcut circuit for the master bathroom that we initially had some other contractor that found on this site but could find the problem and charged for their hours. These guys showed up with a couple of hours and found the problem and fixed it within an hour. They left no mess behind either. Their rate is Competitive and I do recommend them.

Armes Electric recently did some lighting work for my home in Mission Viejo, and made a great first impression. I asked them to install new recessed LED can lights in a couple rooms and retrofit some existing cans throughout the house. Armondo and Aaron were knowledgeable, friendly, quick, clean, and did an overall great job helping me decide exactly what I wanted and finishing the project. They answered all my questions and assessed many other ideas I have for electrical work throughout the house. I certainly plan to use them again and again for all of my home's electrical needs.

Phyllis R.

02/07/2020 12:00:00 SA

Thank you for excellent service. We had a three man job; Nate, Jason and Dan were professional and respectful while installing three LED can lights in our 20 foot ceiling. They sealed our entire living room in plastic to protect our furniture AND paintings before proceeding. They also added electricity to our built in BBQ. We appreciate your diligence to your profession.

Our condo power went out for the bathrooms, kitchen and garage. We tried to reset the circuit breaker but nothing worked. Called Armes emergency number and the owner, Pete came by. He was able to fix it in seconds because as it turned out one switch in particular was stuck and was off by a millimeter barely detectable. He had to push on it very hard to snap it back into alignment. He made sure everything was working and took time to explain how we overloaded the circuit and gave us tips. Today is Sunday morning! We are quite impressed that this company has great work ethic. The owner called me back within 15 minutes and came by within half hour on a Sunday! That speaks volume! Highly recommend this company!

Peter D.

3/23/2018

Just had Armes install 4 Ring video camera's and a ring doorbell. They did a great job! They came prepared with all the equipment. The installation looks great. They patched the stucco, used silicon to seal around the boxes and cleaned up. They also considered the best approach to wire everything up. I will be using them again.

Douglas B.

02/01/2019 12:00:00 SA

Today was our third time using Armes. It for sure won't be our last. The guys today were first and foremost on time. That's important! They were friendly, fast and VERY clean. At the start they explained what the project involved. This time they replaced old track lighting with LED cans and retrofit old fixtures in the same style. Before leaving I asked if they had time to wire a plug for a new TV. Not a problem. I think they are VERY competitively priced. I cannot say enough good about them. Previously they did two (2) ceiling fans and replaced old switches with new rocket-type switches.

Ty and Daniel from Armes Electric just came and installed 3 Nest outdoor cameras for me. They were courteous, clean, professional and accomplished the job in a timely manner. They were recommended by two different friends of mine, and now I know why! They are my go to company for electrical work - and having been married to a general contractor for 30 years, I am picky! Now my home is more secure, thanks to Armes Electric and Nest!

I had about half a day's worth of miscellaneous electrical work done (installing a ceiling fan, retrofitting old incandescent recessed lighting, replacing smoke alarms, etc.) Armes Electric is the best. From their prompt answering of calls and emails, to on-time, clean and conscientious work, I can recommend them wholeheartedly.

I recently dealt with Pete from Armes Electric for an electrical issue we had after hours. They were the first company that I called from YELP that had an after hours emergency line to call. Pete came out at 10pm on a weeknight. Not only did he fix the issue but he was honest as well as affordable. We will definitely be using them again. I highly recommend.

Karen Y.

This company is like a big family and I want them to adopt me. Armando can be my son. All kidding aside, what a refreshing way to do business. From the first call to Megan, who is delightful, to the appointment and follow up, Armes is 100% on the job. I had several honey do and honey don't projects and Armando did them all in a timely, efficient manner. He was very interactive with me, asking my preferences every step of the way (who does that anymore). The results are perfect, from my Ring installation to moving a conduit and changing out my outside sconces. The jobs were completed to my utmost satisfaction. And....wait for it....they are all animal lovers. Hire them. That's all.

Danny and Juan from Armes Electric arrived on schedule and they were able to resolve the issue at hand, including answering my multiple questions (Danny's answers were very informative), in a timely manner.

At first, they were a little puzzled at what was going on... but once they got into the outlets, they knew exactly what was happening.

They brought mats to put their equipment on and were very neat. Danny made a comment that he likes to make it look like he was never here. Being a person in the service industry myself, I feel the same way.

I'll definitely be calling Armes Electric back to take care of the rest of the the electrical needs on my list.

PS: Kudos for being part of Square and accepting American Express

These guys are the best!
I've used these guys in the past to install ceiling fans and dimmer switches, etc..
Yesterday I got them to come back out and add some new outlets and a garage EV charging outlet.
They did a great job. Super professional and reasonable too!
Piece of advice: Don't call Powell Electric! Those guys are a rip off!

I had Armes Electric out at my place last week. The whole experience was great. The estimator was on time and friendly. He emailed me a quote the next day. I was able to schedule the service on the day of my choosing. On the day of service, 3 guys showed up on time and were very professional. They did everything that was expected and left my place nice and clean. I would highly recommend.

Owner of this company, quick reply on calls and very friendly. Very thorough, explained everything clearly and concisely. Unfortunately, bid was higher than our kitchen reno budget so we weren't able to use their serivce, but if we ever in need of small jobs, we'd def. go with them.

Had a great experience with Armes. David was quick to respond and asked good questions about the job I needed done (outlet installation.). Armando showed up exactly on time and did a great job, quick and clean. Would definitely use again.

I have used this vendor to replace all the lighting in my house, starting with some ceiling fans purchased from the Trading Post. I had two different crews come and both were awesome. This vendor is courteous, professional and fair. I would use no other for all my electrical needs.

This is an owner operated business and the attention to detail reflects pride in providing customer satisfaction. After meeting the owner, Pete, we set a date to have some lighting and remedial electrical work done. Armes sent a four man crew, led by Marcus, and all of them couldn't have been more courteous or professional. The work was excellent, quickly done and great care was taken to protect my home. I do not hesitate to offer Armes a five star recommendation.

Our experience with Armes Electric was flawless. From the initial phone call, where I was advised on how to deal with related issues prior to our bathroom lighting relocation/outlet addition, to Marcus and Aaron's skillful, clean and communicative work, to a final bill a good deal lower than the original phone rough estimate, it was an all-around pleasure working with the Armes team!

I just bought a new house and wanted an outlet over each side of our fireplace for TV's. These guys had the best reviews on Yelp for this area. Two guys arrived and then a third arrived shortly after. They snaked through walls, worked around what appeared to be an impossible job and placed them in the right spots. They provided good service and we're very cool guys. I will hire them again on the next job.

These guys are excellent and priced very fairly. They got back to me right away, came out within a couple hours of my call, and finished what I needed in less than an hour, so I had them give me estimates on two other projects, which I will be calling them back for. Marcus even fixed something he saw without me asking because he said it made him feel better. I appreciate the honesty and overall great encounter I had. 5 stars, guys, and thank you! I will be seeing you again!

Pete & his team are great! I came across Armes Electric by searching on yelp & reading the reviews.

We recently brought a house which only had floor lamps, we explained to Pete what we wanted & he met with my partner on a few occasions to go over the options & recommend the best lighting system for us. We went with track lighting & wall sconces.

Definitely call Pete if you need an electrician! Fabulous work thank you!

I have used Armes Electric for years, and had new outdoor lighting installed yesterday. I cannot say enough about Pete and his expertise and the professionalism of his team. What I like the most is they send 6-8 electricians so the job is done quickly - in my case it was less than 5 hours.

I highly recommend Armes - if something isn't right or the way you like it, they will come out and make it right!

It isn't often that you receive this level of service nowadays!

I used Armes Electric in the past for installing an outlet behind a TV in my bedroom. Jason did an excellent job, he was very knowledgeable, was fast and cleaned up after himself. I was exceptionally happy with the job. Today, my bathroom GFCI was tripped. This had been replaced about six months ago, by someone else. To say the least, I was upset it wasn't resetting. I called Armes and talked to Pete. I gave him the information on what I did to try to resolve the resetting the GFCI. He suggested that maybe with the rain that the outdoor receptacles could have gotten damp or wet and that could cause the bathroom to trip. Thankfully, that was the problem and it saved me 200.00. I can't thank Pete enough for his suggestion and saving me the money. I will definitely call Armes with any future needs.

We contracted with Armes Electric to replace/upgrade all the light switches and outlets in a 2-BR condo. Pete the owner arrived on time as promised and was friendly and professional when discussing the project with us. He quoted what we considered a fair price for professional electrician services and the install date was scheduled. Two technicians arrived onsite at the agreed upon time and wrapped up their work in just a few hours. Like their boss, they were courteous and professional. When finished, they cleaned up and took away all old parts and hardware. We were very satisfied with the work and spoke with Pete about coming back to complete some electrical upgrades in the garage. We had a 5-star experience and would recommend Armes Electric highly to others.

Armes Electric is absolutely the best and specifically, Danny! I'm having pool construction work done at my home and the crew knocked out the electric power with their heavy duty equipment. I found Armes Electric using Yelp. I called and they were at my home within two hours. They not only repaired the electrical outlet problem I called about but Danny also took care of a lighting problem with the pool and my outdoor lighting timer and electric outlet. The next day, the pool contractors again knocked out the power. I called Armes again and also called the pool contractor to report the problem they needed to correct. Armes was very busy at the time of my call at another job site which I understood. However, within the hour Danny unexpectedly showed up at my door at the end of the day. I told him the pool contractor was sending someone the next morning and Danny said, I'm here, let me take a look and he took care of the problem immediately. I've learned more about electricity from Danny in one day than I've known in my lifetime! Danny also has a strong shoulder to cry on when you are an elderly lady and think everything that could go wrong in one day has happened and he ended that day positively for me!
I will be telling everyone I know about Armes Electric!

12/22/2017

I called Armes after hours because our GFCI outlet shorted out and couldn't be reset. I had reset the main circuit breaker and unplugged fridge connected to the line, but the outlet still would not reset. I spoke with Steve who was at a Christmas party, but still took the time to walk me through some additional steps over the phone to avoid a house call. Thankfully it worked. Moreover, I wasn't charged. You just can't find courteous, professional, and good people like this any more. If you want honest and quality work from good people, call Armes.

Referred by Trading Post Fan where I bought 3 fans.

Scheduling, technicians, installation, payment etc. could not have been easier or more professional.

I didn't bother getting bids on my ceiling fan installation, but I felt what I paid (Trading Post has a price sheet at the register if you ask) was fair, and I am very pleased with the work done.

Will call Armes again for future electrical needs at my home.

Wonderful electricians! I needed some outlets replaced- and they completed my request including a few others (light dimmers, etc) in less than an hour. Professional, on time, courteous. Great team thank you!

We had a broken ceiling fan light issue and right before hosting family Christmas. it is the only light we have in that room so it was critical I got it repaired. On my initial call I spoke to Pete and explained our situation and he gave me some options. I had called a few other companies to see if they could help and they were all busy until the new year. Pete understood my urgent issue and found a way to move the schedule around and to install a new light in ceiling fan the same day of my call (and did not charge me extra for the expediency). Extremely friendly personnel, very competent, and very responsive. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

It's a Saturday morning and I just got off the phone with the owner Pete and one of his technicians. Despite the fact they are not open today, they spent time helping me finalize the installation of my ceiling fan. I offered to pay them several times and they refused. My problem was a simple wiring one that they were able to help me diagnose and fix while we used FaceTime. This type of service and professionalism is so rare these days. I will be calling them and recommending them to everyone I know for anything related to electrical needs. Thanks again, Pete!

04/06/2017 12:00:00 SA

I was able to get an estimate from those guys and booked an appointment for the next day. Not only did they show up early, they charged less than was the initial estimate! Work was quick and painless. I still haven't even heard back from some of the plumbers I contacted. Highly recommend Armes. Thanks! You're awesome!

Pete and Armes Electric are the BEST! We have a rental home in Corona Del Mar and they handle all of our electrical issues with best in class professional service! Even on a Sunday morning, Pete was able to dispatch Danny who went above and beyond for a service call that was completed within 1.5 hours of my first call ... WOW!!! Thank you Armes Electric! You've consistently impressed us and I would recommend you to everyone!!!

Awesome crew with such professionalism. After exchanging a few text messages and emails to explain the work I was hoping to have done, a wonderful team came out and gave me an estimate before starting their work. They gave me a low end an a high end and I gave them the green light. I was having a pendant light hung from my front porch while removing the existing wall sconce. That could mean cutting into drywall inside and stucco outside. The crew was lucky enough to not make any additional cuts inside nor out, got the work done beautifully, and asked that I review the pendant's placement before the finished. They used a tarp and there was not one piece of dirt/wire when they left.

They were so professional, responsive, and fairly price. I highly recommend using this crew if you want the job done right!

5/29/2018

I wrote a review about 5 days ago regarding Armes Electric that I felt they didn't want my business to clean up an electrical mess because we had decided not to do the complete the project.
Pete (owner) wrote me back after reading my review and asked me to call him if I would like to talk about the situation which I did call him. He was very pleasant and he even offered to come to my home and take a look at the electrical unsafe mess I had in my backyard. He saw the mess fixed it and wouldn't even let me pay for for his electrical expertise and time. I wasn't looking for a free deal, but I guess he felt there was just a lack of communication and apologized. My husband and I definitely respect Pete as a one of kind business man.
He even told me to call him directly in the future for any electrical needs. I definitely found a company who cares about customers and would use them in the future and highly recommend them.
Thanks again Pete

Absolutely wonderful service and professionalism! Will never use anyone else. Pete and team made my problem their priority even during a busy time for their business. Made me feel like family vs. just some new customer with a power outage the SDGE couldn't address. Asked them back for a non-urgent job and they did excellent work and pricing is very competitive. Thanks Armes and team for all you've done!

Armes responded quickly to my request for help with an electrical problem.
The cost was very reasonable and well worth it. Jason was highly professional and polite. I am about to hire Armes for another job (recessed lighting) and would highly recommend this company.

Jaimeson H.

Pete and his crew were awesome! Added recessed lighting and ceiling fans to 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. They showed up on time and knocked it out. I'll be calling Armes for my next project!

5/26/2016

Pretty simple, these guys get it done. Straight forward and honest. I called looking to get a bathroom exhaust fan installed and they gave me an appointment for quote and install within couple days. Ethan and Spencer were on time, nice guys, and very clean. Even when a small hiccup came up the guys explained my options gave me their opinions when I asked and got it done. I had hoped (and tried) to work the price down but these guys seemed straight forward and had told me the cost from the very start. Can't complain one bit. Would highly recommend them to anyone.

Since purchasing our home two years ago, Armes Electric has provided service multiple times as we continue to make improvements. There is no possible way I could be convinced that there is a better residential electrician option than Armes Electric. They've always been responsive, professional, efficient, and fair. I've referred them to a neighbor who was also pleased with their work. If you're considering an electrician, look no further. They've earned their 5-star rating and it can't be easy to maintain that with consistently great service for every situation they encounter.

I did not actually have transition with Armes Electric. This just happened. I called in because one of the circlet break stuck. He instructed me how to do it to reset over the phone and it worked.

David B.

10/24/2018

Don't plan on these guys even showing up after making an appointment. No respect. I made arrangements to have them trouble shoot an unsafe electrical condition in my residence and they said they would be able to come the next day. I agreed since they had such good Yelp reviews. I waited all day and they were a NO SHOW; not even a call. Definitely total disregard for other people's time and safety. Your time and money means nothing to them. Look for integrity elsewhere. Disgusted!

I just moved into a home in Newport Beach and was looking to make a few electrical changes. My adult daughter, who lives in nearby Costa Mesa, send me a picture of one of their trucks...mentioned that she frequently sees them around...and suggested that I should check their reviews. I did, and noted that their reviews were overwhelmingly positive.

I engaged them and three men showed up this morning at 8:30 am ready to begin. They mounted a new dining room light, installed a 50 amp electric vehicle charging outlet in the garage, and ran power and a telephone line to a hall cabinet so I could place my telephone answering machine there.

They got to work and seemed to enjoy themselves and each other. I've been around a lot of electricians and was impressed with their professionalism and competency. They seemed to have all the necessary tools and knew how to use them. They protected the surrounding area with tarps as needed and cleaned up when they were finished.

Overall, I was very satisfied with their work and will use them again when the need arises.

Marcus and Alex came out to take care of a ceiling fan in the stairwell. They were originally only going to quote, but ended up taking care of it on the spot. They did a great job, and were totally willing to redo the work a previous person I hired left. They put in items to code, and did their best with junkie wiring from 1978.

I cannot say enough good things about ARMES ELECTRIC and the owner PETE ARMES and his electricians.
I have known Pete for over 20 years and he just finished another home for us in Newport Beach....it turned out great.
He really cares about his clients and his knowledge and professionalism is the best. If you want to be thrilled with the work and are looking for the best you do not need to shop around. It will be done right and he stands behind his work. ARMES ELECTRIC THE BEST.

Armes Electric is excellent! The initial call was with the owner who gave me clear info and advice. I set my appointment and they were right on time. The two workers were awesome; both were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful with questions. They finished in the time estimated and the work was done very cleanly (quality). We have other electrical work for our new house so we will definitely call them again. I highly recommend them!

I was very impressed with Pete and his team. I called the office after reading reviews here. Pete's team came out and gave me a very good bid to install recessed lights and ceiling fixtures in two rooms. They did the work within a few hours and had all the materials on hand.

Pete stopped by to introduce himself while the work was in progress. He gave me some good ideas about adding lights to my yard which I plan to do next.

I will use Armes for all my electrical needs in the future and recommend to my family and friends.

Perfect. Good service and follow up. Referred by Trading Post Fan Co, to install a fan.
On time, efficient, and clean work. This was a basic install but the next day the remote did not operate. Armes immediately sent Jason back to check on the problem. He reprogrammed the remote and it again worked. Same thing happened next day. Again Jason called to let me know the remote was probably defective. I was sent a new remote overnight via Trading Post and have no problems since. I appreciated the company working to make sure the customer was satisfied.

My only wish now is that I knew of this company for previous fan/electrical work. I will definitely call on them in the future.

Kate K.

06/10/2016 12:00:00 SA

I had the team come to my home on several occasions and each time that did a great job and were awesome to work with. Armando and Marcus were super cool and very knowledgeable. They were able to do everything from installing ceiling fans, to wall sconces, fire alarms, outlets and switches. I would recommend this company to anyone and specially the team i worked with. Pete, the owner is very fair and wants to ensure that his clients are happy with the work done. Great results!

My husband did a weekend project of upgrading the switches and outlets in our home in Irvine. He has a lot of experience with this type of work, but despite doing this at other homes in the past, his upgrades did not work this time! We were in a bind because half of the electrical switches and outlets in the house did not work!! So I called Armes Electric, and they put me in touch with Pete, the owner, who was beyond nice. We found a rare gem of a person who was willing to lend a helping hand! Instead of coming over to fix it, Pete shocked me by offering to explain to my husband what likely went wrong. What a pleasant surprise! My husband and Pete spoke, and we were able to fix it ourselves. I would highly recommend Pete because he is HONEST, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. For more complex electrical work we will be using Armes Electric! Pete is wonderful!

Vicki A.

10/10/2017 12:00:00 SA

The previous owners of our home had Armes Electric install several ceiling fans, so we gave them a try too, as their work looked like it had been done by pros. Admittedly, I am not the easiest to please, so kudos to these guys. The two gentlemen were right on time, were pleasant, and did a great job -- including cleanup -- at a fair price . I would recommend this company and definitely use them again.

These guys are the gold standard in electricians. I called them late in the week (I believe Friday), and they were at my house on Wednesday at 8:15 a.m. The appointment was for 8:15 a.m., and they rolled up to my house at 8:10 a.m. and were extremely pleasant to talk to. Upon finding out that I didn't have the right fixture at my house, they left to go pick it up and came back quickly. Their installation was quick and efficient and their recommendations were spot on. The price was reasonable, the service was top-notch, and they were extremely nice and pleasant to me, my wife, and my two daughters while at my house. No need to look anywhere else, make the call.

I was going through my next door messages and came across a review of Armes Electric. The neighbors were very happy with the customer service so I decided to call Pete the owner of the company to set up an appointment. I was surprised that he picked up his call and he graciously gave me a number to call and schedule an appointment. The lady that answered the phone was very pleasant and extremely professional. She scheduled the appointment and the guys arrived on time at my house to help me with my recessed lighting and hanging my tv on the wall. Dan and Aaron showed up to install my lights and they were very very professional, personable and very patient with all our questions. During the installation, I wanted to also install a light fixture which was not part of the order and to my surprise they graciously agreed to help with that too. My husband and I were very happy with the service and we highly recommend them for the great service they provide. We are in the process of a kitchen and dining renovation and Armes electric will take care of all the electric needs. You are the best Armes Electric

I've used Armes electric several times for various jobs & they always perform excellent work! They are courteous, respectful & very professional. They've done ceiling fan installation, wiring for new outlets & moving/centering of my dining room chandelier. I highly recommend them & will definitely use their services again when needed.

Tiffany A.

1/26/2016

We hired Armes to replace two ceiling fans, install wall panels for the fans (because kids plus a remote for ceiling fans equals a disaster), install a quad electrical outlet with a dedicated circuit, install canned lights, install an exhaust fan/light in a bathroom, and to upgrade our light switches. The work was superb- and it was all done in a day. The men who did the work were professional, courteous and efficient. Pete was extremely helpful- even came with me to help pick out fans since I didn't know much about them. The prices were reasonable. I am very pleased. Thanks again, Yelp!

We had been having electrical issues that were made worse by our Fidelity Home Warranty 'electricians'. The warranty people actually came out, sparked a wire cutting power in half our house, and then left because the warranty doesn't cover shorts!
Fortunately we decided to stop messing with Fidelity and hire our own real electrician in the form of Armes. They fixed the short and determined that the previous owners had not hooked up this 240v A/C outlet to the breaker box properly - very dangerous. They ran a new wire through the attic, and even brought a saw up to cut a channel where the old wire was pinched.
Very thorough, quick, and made our house safer. They were nice and told us what was going on and what our options were along the way.

We called Armes Electric to get some security lights hung & connected to ZWave switches. They told me they would send out a couple guys to quote me and, if I agreed with the estimate, they would complete the work on the spot. I wish I could remember the names of the guys they sent because they were prompt and very professional. They quoted me a reasonable price and got the job completed on time and within budget. I will definitely use Armes again.

Armes Electric was recommended by my real estate agent, Lorie from Realty One Group. I am glad I followed her advice because Pete & his team did a great job on my new house!

I recently purchased a house which was built in 1974 and needed better lighting and electrical upgrades. I had can-light installed in the living room, kitchen and 2 bedrooms. They also upgrades all the electrical throughout the house and garage. Overall, nice work and good clean up after the project was done.

I highly recommend to call Armes Electric. They will do a great job!!

This is my 3rd time coming to my house for a variety of things I needed completed. Always prompt and polite when entering my home. Minimal holes in drywall for wires which I appreciate. Clean up is always done and they did make cover holes back with pieces they cut out. I never call for other quotes when it comes to electricians you get what you pay for.

If you are looking for competent, clean , on time and knowledgeable electrical work, Armes is your only call you should make. Their crew came to my house and re-located all my circuits and plugs after a kitchen remodel I did. Very satisfied!

Jeff M.

I have used Armes multiple times to install electrical outlets, exterior lighting and install my fans. This company is top notch and very professional. They call you back, show up on time and the employees that come to your house are considerate and work very hard. They'll wear their booties in your home and ensure they clean up when they are done. My most recent project employed Jonathan and Steven and I was very impressed and pleased with their work. I will continue to always call Armes for any electrical work; now if they only did painting too for my next project. Thanks!

We just moved into our new home (between Christmas and New Year's) and I had several electrical items on my list. Pete (owner) and Jason (lead) was able complete the job within the day. Rarely do you see a company bring in enough of their crew to expedite a job. They worked hand in hand with my painters which was very important. They installed new lights (I purchased) that I didn't like and came back the next day to remove and install new ones. This is now my go to company when I have any electrical issues. I plan on using them in the future to replace all lighting to LED based on what an excellent job they did in one room. $$$$$ well spent. Very knowledgeable

I've used other one-man shop electricians from Yelp, but when they are good, getting them in a hurry can be difficult. Turned to Armes Electric to help solve a GFI-related issue affecting half the house. Spoke to the owner, Pete, who first assessed the issue with me to see if it was something quick and easy that I could do. I really appreciated that. He was able to work me into the schedule today (with a few trucks and electricians, I didn't have to wait for days). Jason and Juan showed up early and got to work diagnosing and fixing the problem. They also explained what they did to enhance future reliability. Professional, respectful, quick, and yes, reasonable for two guys, their time and some basic materials (GFI outlets,). A good experience from initial call to completion of the work. I will definitely use them in the future.

Pete and his entire crew did an excellent job installing our electric vehicle charging station, 4 outdoor lanterns, garage door spot lights, as well as some dimmer switches that needed to be replaced. Pete explained everything clearly and his fees were reasonable. They were knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend them!

I sent a Yelp email request to 4 different company's for some quotes . Armes was the first ones to call back ,the other 3 never responded back. I booked an appointment it was fast and easy. When Spencer and mondo arrived they were on time and ready to go. I told them what I needed and they got rite to it wasting no time .their work was clean and professional .the bill was VERY reasonable for the exceptional quality of work I received.Armes will be doing all my future electrical work from now on !! Don't call anyone else these guys are the ones to call !!!!

Pete Armes, owner of Armes Electric, is our Christmas hero, saving the day! Right after Christmas breakfast was cooked, my adult daughter noticed that the refrigerator light had suddenly gone out, and we eventually realized that much of the kitchen's electricity was out. Switching the circuit breaker didn't work, so my husband called Pete, as they had done an excellent job of putting in a new electrical outlet for a new garage opener a year ago. Pete was honest, kind, and gracious to interrupt his own Christmas morning to figure out what was wrong over the phone and SAVED THE DAY! This was the second time we have been impressed. A year ago, Markus had also been prompt, came out for the bid very quickly, communicated clearly what he would do and returned at a time convenient to us to finish the job extremely well so we could get our garage door in record time. Since we and most of the Saddleback Valley have homes between 40 and 20 years old, it is a nightmare to have an electrical emergency on a holiday. Armes Electric has proven to us several times that they put the homeowner first and that they are impeccable in their trustworthiness and service. We had used other highly regarded electrical companies in the past but we are convinced that Armes Electric is the BEST! Thanks, Pete, Markus, and the staff!

Great service and friendly competent staff, highly recommend Armes Electric. Have used Armes twice, reliable and knowledgeable people who were surprisingly affordable.

Thank you Yelpers for recommending Armes Electric! After an upstairs toilet leaked into the kitchen ceiling downstairs at our rental property, we had to remove our kitchen ceiling and existing canned lights to dry out the moisture. After the moisture dried and new ceiling drywall was in place, we needed an electrician to reinstall the recessed lights.

Our usual electrician was not available so I searched on Yelp for someone to help us out. This was our first time using Armes Electric and it definitely won't be our last! The guys showed up on time, they worked quickly, they were clean, picked up after themselves, and the entire transaction was easy.

They just seemed really professional and honest, and I'm confident everything was done to code. Couldn't have been happier with their service. I won't hesitate to use them again for my future electrical needs.

I called Armes requesting a quote on installing a new outdoor outlet. Thankfully they were able to come out the next week (I called during their busy summer time). Their pricing was surprisingly good, the quality of their work is superb, and Jason (the electrician they sent over) was very courteous and did an excellent job. The work is very professionally done and Jason took the time to troubleshoot a few different options and tested the amps of other lines to see which option was he best option. Armes Electric is the first electrician company I've called since living in my home for the past 3 years, but I'll definitely call them in the future for all my electrical needs and would be happy to refer them to others!

Called Armed Electric after having our kitchen backsplash done and unable to get the outlet/switch plates back on due to added thickness on wall. Plus we were changing out our 20 yr old under the cabinet lighting. Pete was very professional on phone, he returned calls, gave fair quote/estimate, and had reasonable appointment days & time. He sent out Marcus and Alex and these two were awesome. They fixed up my outlets and put my new outlet/switch plates on, replaced my outdated under cabinet lights with the new ones we bought. No mess, everything cleaned up. My son thought they were pretty cool to take a couple minutes to talk to him after he found out they went to same high school he is currently at. Thanks Marcus and Alex you guys made his day AND my kitchen lights look awesome along with my backsplash now complete with the switch plates on! We will definitely be calling Armes Electric back when needed!

What can I say about Armes Electric: fast, responsive, courteous, reasonable and great to work with. Armes Electric responded to my late Saturday afternoon emergency call and fixed my electrical issue within an hour of calling. I have twin newborn children and I was in a bind without electricity. I called a half dozen other companies before I came across Armes Electric. Only two of the other companies I called that day called me back the next day.

Don't waste your time with others. Call Armes Electric and get the job done fast and at a fair rate. I highly recommend them.

Cheers.

Very impressed with these guys. Showed up on time, did a high-quality install job, and finished within about an hour. Granted, it was a small job, but they were up-front about pricing, and stayed within the quoted price. Would absolutely use them again.

We have used Armes electric for all of our electrical issues at our last two homes and have been very satisfied with their service and prices. Their teams are always polite, professional and punctual. I like that they are willing to answer any of my questions in an informative manner without making me feel like a dumb-dumb for asking. Highly recommended!

I'm a renter, handling the issues in my new property for my landlord out of state. Pete was super prompt, and came out within a day to do an estimate and the work was taken care of by Jason within 24 hours! Everything looks and works perfectly and I will always recommend them to any friends or clients in OC.

First time customer and will be a lifer! Called today and got same day service! Mark and his crew were awesome! They did a thorough repair and got my house up and running. They explained in detail what caused the problem and showed me the defective piece. Very kind and courteous. Felt very comfortable having them on my house and will absolutely use them again and recommend them to my family and friends!!

I would highly recommend Armes Electric!! They were very friendly, professional and respectful of time. I appreciated the 45 minute heads up call that gave me plenty of time to meet them at my house. They got me in same day and fixed the issues. I will definitely use this company again!!

I have been an Armes Electric customer for more than 4 years. I have had all of my overhead lighting changed to LED, outlets upgraded during a whole house (plumbing) repipe and many other projects. In July I had the gas heaters in my pool house replaced with AEI electric heaters; What a difference! I no longer worry that my guests hair will catch fire when I turn on the heaters! The new electric heaters are completely adjustable, from warm to HOT. They are also really slim-line and attractive.

Last week I had Armes back to install two car charging stations installed in my garage. The work was done quickly and they work great, even though I needed new lines run for the electricity from the box to the garages. I will absolutely be calling them for all of my future electrical needs.

Had a great experience with Armes Electric. They worked quickly and were very informative of all the work they were doing. I was worried I was going to need an expensive upgrade to my electrical panel, but they were able to switch out some old breakers, fix some outlets, and sand down the bus bar. All of this was done at a great price. I'll definitely be coming back to them in the future.

I wanted to write this sooner, however, Thanksgiving and Christmas got in the way. On the Tuesday before this Thanksgiving (2019) Pete Armes, and his crew at ARMES ELECTRIC, located in Laguna Hills, were just GREAT!!! I would recommend their services for any electrical issues. I found Pete and his crew to be responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Their services were more than prompt, completed quickly and efficiently, with fair pricing. Most importantly, Pete was willing and able to provide replacement parts for our very old main panel, rather than having to move and replace the entire panel, saving us significant money. They also placed a new circuit for the microwave. This all occurred on short notice and only 2 days before Thanksgiving. I called the office and advised them of our electrical issue around 10 am. I was advised they were very busy, but someone would get back to me shortly. I figured it would be early afternoon before I heard anything, if I was lucky. About 11:30 Pete, the owner, called and then came by to look at our problem. Our house was built in the mid-70's. After inspection, he found we had a very old main panel that was placed above the gas line going into the house. Of course, that panel is no longer made. Pete advised we probably needed a new main breaker ($450 approx.), a new (different make) panel and a new dedicated line for the microwave (which we knew). A new different / panel could be obtained however, the location of the panel would have to be changed due to new housing codes. Pete said he had some old main breakers for that panel that were still good and indicated he could re-build the old panel with new bus bars so that it didn't need to be moved. That's what he did and things are working great!!! -Steve Martino

Can't say enough about their professionalism! They actually take pride in the work they do. I am more than impressed with the job that Danny and Jared did - it was not an easy task to install everything that they did, but they did it right and they did it beautifully --- and all with a great attitude (in really uncomfortably hot conditions). I will definitely use them again if and when the need arises.

Maureen S.

1/31/2017

Who would have thought that a contractor would receive such great reviews? We had a small electrical fire and Armes was quick to get two guys out and had everything repaired in just a couple of hours. We are thrilled with their work and would highly recommend them to anyone!

One of our employees got a space heater for Christmas and plugged in this morning, there were already 2 space heaters on the breaker and it tripped. One of our attorneys tried to reset then had me start calling electricians for immediate availability and after multiple calls Peter had me send him a photo of the breaker and describe hard resetingto ensure it wasn't something simple. I've handled extensive home electrical work so I knew exactly what he meant ...Apparently our attorney didn't! Lesson learned, attorneys don't know anything about electrical & Armes Electrical is professional, trustworthy & now added to the office call list. $200 emergency electrical would not have been a big deal for our office but it speaks to the work and professional ethics of Armes Electric that they took the time to eliminate the obvious.

I am over-the-top pleased with the work Pete and his team at Armes electric did on my house. I had a large amount of various jobs I needed them to tackle for me, and they did so with flying colors! A number of these jobs were quite challenging and required tenacity, ambition and good problem-solving skills, which Pete and his guys most definitely have. Pete, the owner, is an enthusiastic, quality guy who genuinely wants to please his customers. He is honest, reliable, detail-oriented and thorough, and will not consider the job complete until his customer is happy. Every man on his team has a great attitude and is hard-working, and they all seem to enjoy each other's company and work well together. I enjoyed having them all coming to work on my home (which lasted about 1.5 weeks) - how often can one say that about contractors?! Pete frequently visited the job site to see how the jobs were progressing and to ensure everything was being done correctly and according to my wishes. Pete and his team installed a lamp post, which Pete took painstaking efforts to make sure was completely level, and installed light fixtures on top of brick pilasters all around my yard, which included some difficult underground investigative work. They installed outdoor outlets, garage outlets, a light switch and outdoor light, and added a florescent wrap light to my garage. They also connected all garage lights to one light switch, making lighting up my garage much easier and more convenient. Pete also pointed out that my garage door had not been wired correctly by the previous homeowner, and brought the wiring up to code. I couldn't be happier with my experience with Armes Electric. I have already referred them to quite a few neighbors and friends, giving them the rave reviews they profoundly deserve. I will be sure to give Pete a call if/when I am in need of more electric work!

Danny and Aaron texted when they were 10 minutes out to advise that they were en route. They were coming to install a new ceiling fan. Upon arrival, they were courteous, friendly and professional. We went over the options for the size of the down rod and the placement of the remote control holder. They put down plastic to protect carpet and furniture. When they were finished, they vacuumed up any residual dust. From their arrival to the time I was making payment, it took about an hour and a half. It's only day one, but the fan looks to be well balanced and it works as expected. I am very happy with the work and their professionalism. I would use them again and I would recommend them to others. As for the price, it was on par with quotes I got from two other companies.

08/03/2017 12:00:00 SA

Pete, the owner, went out of his way to have his guys stop by on a very busy day. We had half a circuit not working for almost 2 months and complicated things a bit more ourselves. Jason and Juan figured out the issue in 5 minutes, then made sure the rest of the house was squared away. These guys know their stuff, are fast, friendly, and efficient, and actually care about your situation. Very reasonably priced, too. They've got a customer for life now! Give them a call for any of your electrical needs!

Christina K.

05/09/2017 12:00:00 SA

Armes Electric was top notch. They gave me good advice on the type of work I need and gave me several options that varied in price. They are straight-forward and care about their customers and their work. They pigtailed our entire house and rewired our garage to code. It was anxiety provoking, as the previous owners were flippers and there was some shoddy wiring. These guys are professional - on time and cleans up after their work. And they charge a fair price. Oh, and they are excellent communicators so you know exactly what you're paying for before they do the work. Their quote and invoice are electronic, which was also nice.

Armes Electric has completed four different jobs at our place--two ceiling fans, can lights in the living room, and a spot light for a picture. The work is done professionally; many of the electricians have been with the company for several years so there is no hit-and-miss guess work going on. I have never had a problem or complaint about the work or the workers. Today a fan was installed in a room that had no attic. I thought I would have to return the fan, but the men found a way to route the wires with minimal intrusion into the dry wall--which can be easily repaired. Every times Armes has been here, they are on time, efficient, and clean the area perfectly. There is not a speck of dust anywhere, even with holes cut into the ceiling. The men work quietly, politely, and unobtrusively. I am very happy with all aspects of working with Armes, from scheduling to completion.

More recently, I had all the air ducts cleaned by a company that specializes in duct cleaning. Unfortunately, they used a bathroom outlet and blew the circuits. I checked to see if any of the circuit breakers were in the off position and if the GFI switch had come out. No such luck. The next day I expected to call and pay for an electrician. I called Arnes and related the problem. Armes suggested I reset the circuit breakers. I had no idea what that meant or how to do it. Armes gave me easy instructions to follow (thankfully), which I did, and voila, the clock, hair dryer, electric toothbrush, etc. were back in running order. I could have spent at least $100 having some electrician come over and do that for me, but, as always, Armes considers its customers, and told me how to fix the problem and save me the time and money. Thank you, Armes!

Armes Electric has handled all electrical installs in our home for over ten years including kitchen, bath, recessed lighting, ceiling fans and low vo,rage yard lighting. They are prompt, efficient and affordable. I wouldn't use anyone else!

We recently moved into a new home and wanted to install some new ceiling fans (8 of them). We bought the fans at the Trading Post in Huntington Beach and they recommended Armes Electric to do the install. We had problems in the past with fans wobbling and not working right so we wanted to be careful who installed them.
I called Armes Electric and discussed the installation. They were straight forward about their pricing (the information is also on their website) and seemed very knowledgeable. I set an appointment and on the agreed upon day 3 electricians arrived at the scheduled time and were ready to go. Their work was thorough and they spent time telling us about the install and the features of the fans. They showed up how the controls worked (wall switches) and had a great attention to detail.
We had one minor problem after the work was done. The electricians told us that the owner would be following up with us. We heard from the owner the next day and the problem was resolved immediately.
I wouldn't hesitate to use Armes Electric for any of our electrical needs. We were extremely satisfied and would highly recommend them.

Armes Electric installed canned lighting and corrected 2 electrical problems with our home and I highly recommend this company. The team of electricians worked efficiently and completed the numerous items on the invoice in the same day. They protected the floors and walls with pads, tarps and plastic covering and cleaned up each room after they were done. The team lead Jason reviewed each invoice item before beginning the work and consulted with me before the lights were placed in each room, making sure I agreed with the location and the resulting lighting impact.

Great work! Very professional workers. They did the work as if it were their own homes. I can't say enough in praises of Armes electric. Except for the excellent results, after they leave, you would never know they were in your home.

They are a great company! I have had them install fans and had them wire electric outdoors in my flower bed to hook up a fountain. Every time I have used them they were on time professional and did an outstanding job.

Katherine S.

05/03/2016 12:00:00 SA

Great experience from the time I called and requested ceiling fan installation to the time they left. Professional and polite, very knowledgeable. I showed one of the two guys a light fixture that had stopped working in our bathroom, and he wrote down what I needed to fix it and told me if I wanted to run to the hardware store and get the piece he needed, he would take care of it after the fan was installed. Sure enough, he fixed the problem after perfectly installing a new fan and wall switch. He charged me exactly what he said he would. I will use them again for sure.

04/08/2017 12:00:00 SA

Armes Electric is fantastic! This is the second time we have used them to install lighting and we are so happy with the job they do. They are prompt, clean, polite, professional and helpful. They are not the cheapest (or the most expensive) , but when you are installing electrical you want the best and Armes knows what they are doing. Thank you for hanging our lamps and for doing a great job!

Pete and his team are the best out there. They have years of experience and do things right. It is very clear that they go above and beyond to please their customers.

I put in a quote request through Yelp and received a very prompt response from Pete. Jason and Armando came out on very short notice and moved a GFI outlet. They also went over some additional items for a quote. They were professional, courteous, and on time. Very good experience. I've used them before and plan to use them again in the future.

Called Arms when we had some outlets stop working after a repipe. We had them wire switches to outlets as well. Instead of charging us for work that would take too long, they asked us to have us go through our plumber since it was his fault. We called them back up when our plumber said we could use them for the work and they actually fixed the problem quicker than we thought. Each worker was so kind and easy to work with. Thank you!

Great experience with Armes electric. Needed two 240v outlets, a e-charger unit for a new electric car, and a non-GFCI outlet for a refrigerator installed in our garage. Called and emailed several electricians near Lake Forest, CA. Pete, the owner, was very responsive.

Communication was easy and fast. He beat every other estimate I received. We needed the job done as quickly as possible and he was able schedule us within a few days.

In terms of the work, everything turned out as we had discussed. He even added a hose reel and a special plug for our charger unit for free. Great knowing I've found a electrician I can trust and use in the future. Planning on referring him to a friend who needs some electrical work done. If you are looking for a company you can trust for a competitive price and good quality work, don't hesitate to call Armes.

We had an excellent experience with Armes Electric. Our kitchen lights went out completely and the adjacent lights to the family room were also flickering. I called Armes yesterday after striking out with several other electricians who either could not come by for several work days or did not handle my type of repair job. Armes said they would try to fit me in either same day or next day. About two hours after I called Armes, one of their teams became available and stopped by within a half hour.

They were friendly, straightforward, efficient, capable and helpful. They not only fixed the switches that were causing my problem promptly but they replaced them with a better option, and fixed several other minor electrical tasks I ran by them, while offering several other helpful electrical suggestions. Very impressive and just what I was looking for. Reasonably priced for the work done and the great results. Thanks Armes!

Jonathon and Steven diagnosed and fixed an electrical issue that 2 other electricians couldn't. Super happy with their work. Well done guys. My wife is happy we have power in the back half of the house again!!!

Sandra R.

03/07/2015 12:00:00 SA

Finally! These guys did a terrific job. They came ON TIME, made sure they protected my house, and cleaned up when they left. They noticed another ceiling fan I had in a box and asked if I wanted it installed. You bet. And they did it how I wanted it. Sound silly? Another electrician I called told me, You don't want a wall switch for that fan. A remote is better. Well, I do want a wall switch. Armes Electric was happy to do what I asked. They made sure I knew everything they were doing and are extremely customer service oriented. I'll be calling them again.

Outstanding! These guys came out late on a Friday to help with an electrical issue we had that caused our air conditioner to stop working right in the middle of the first heat wave of the summer. Spent the time to do the job the right way. They were very professional and courteous, going above and beyond. Worked past 6pm to get everything fixed, so we would have A/C for the weekend. Price was VERY fair, didn't charge me overtime, and I was thrilled with the service. Plan to have them back out to do some non-emergency work I've been putting off because I didn't know a good electrician....problem solved!

We had some extensive repairs done by Armes Electric Jason, Spencer and Ty did $2300 worth of repairs. They were great! They were booked solid but still made time for our repairs. They were professional, knowledgeable and reasonably priced for the amount of work that needed to be done. We had double tapped wires, rat chewed wires and a sub panel that was a nightmare (and numerous other issues). They also installed 3 ceiling fans and 1 chandelier.

In Jan 2018 I used Armes to redo my entire apartment. They were on time and were well priced below other electrician for the same job. There were throughly professional and courteous. Happy with the job they did today, I called up Pete and told him that my front yard Christmas lights are out, not working. I was expecting the usual stuffs that you'd get with other companies, like they'd send their electrician to fix it. To my surprise, Pete was kind enough to walk me through my problem over the phone and explained that it was due to the heavy rain that caused the GFI to shut down. Then he told me how to get it back on. All this he did over telephone and it costed me nothing. He ended by saying that I was his customer and that's the service I'd get from him. That is really impressive. I felt like family. I've never met any one so honest and sincere like Pete. I would definitely use Armes for a long time.

Mark Y.

4/14/2013

Meant to write this a while back. Saw the great reviews on yelp and called last minute to see if they could repair a corroded conduit for the outlets in my backyard back in January. They were very personable and had someone out that same day. Work was completed quickly, much to my satisfaction. Price was very reasonable. Would definitely call again for any electrical needs.

Frank D.

3/17/2012

They sent a couple of guys out the same day to fix my 25 yr old circuit breakers. But after a month or two, I had to call them back out and replace / upgrade my whole panel. We had had a lot of electrical changes these past few years and it was time to upgrade the panel. The owner called to let me know they were going to give me credit for the work they had done and sent out a couple guys and took care of us. they even set me up with someone to repair my stucco once they had finished. Definitely bookmarking them for any future work!

Armes Electric is consistently wonderful. They are my go to electrical service company. They did the electrical work for a client of mine who's front walkway lights would not turn on. I checked with the HOA electrical company for my client's community, and they were unable to fix the lights. That company came out, and said they could not do it. But Armes Electric took care of it and did a beautiful job. This is just one example of the fine work they do! Call me anytime for more examples of good jobs they have done for my clients.

I was really impressed with this company's business acumen- they provided a professional quote, delivered to the quote and when the crew showed up (on time!) they were friendly, clean, detailed and very customer service oriented. I had this company do the following: 1) install 3 ceiling fans (of which there was 1 install that required a fan box- they warned me ahead of time too that this could be the case, which would be an additional charge); 2) install an additional light switch, to make a 3 way switch (no damage to drywall!); 3) install 3 dimmer switches, 4) install 2 ceiling light fixtures; 5) install 3 updated smoke detectors; 6) install under the counter lighting. I've included pictures of 1 fan, under the counter lighting, and 1 light fixture for examples- everything was done professionally and on time. I'm ecstatic with the results! :)

Our family has utilized Armes Electric on multiple occasions. They are very professional, courteous, and have a deep knowledge of lighting and electrical work. The pricing was very fair and they left the place very clean after completing their work. We plan on using them again for our regular electrical needs and when we decide to renovate another home.

Diana T.

10/18/2010

Great job! Clean, professional , very polite and on time when I needed to have some emergency work done. Called when they were on their way so I didn't need to sit home all day. Having them come back and do more work this week, this time new fixtures!

Brent C.

09/10/2015 12:00:00 SA

This company was fantastic! I bought a light fixture from Home Depot intending to install it myself. I decided that I didn't want to deal with borrowing or renting a ladder tall enough to access a 15' ceiling. I requested a quote online and heard back from Armes very quickly. They showed up on time, completed the work quickly and professionally. The two electricians were extremely nice and helpful, giving me free advice about a dimmer switch that I might want to change out later. I had asked Home Depot for a price quote to install the light fixture and it was double what I ended up paying Armes. I will definitely use them again.

Jason P.

I would highly recommend Pete and his company for your electrical needs. My husband and I had a 2 page list of electrical updates to our home and included the lighting outside in the front yard as well. Pete came over and walked the property with my husband and then sent us a detailed bid with everything separated out so that we could pick and choose what we wanted done. He made some suggestions that I followed that were different than my initial vision and I am so happy that I listened to him. They did a great job for a fair price and we will be calling them for all our electrical needs. It is so hard to have a trusted electrician that you can call on when needed. Nice guys on the crews as well.

I called Armes to install my new ceiling fan. Everyone that I talked to about scheduling was responsive and very accommodating. I received a call from the owner when there was a problem with the time, and he quickly adjusted the schedule to meet our needs. Danny, assisted by Jerod, arrived on time and did a wonderful job. They were careful not to scratch my floors, thoroughly cleaned up including the wall around the switch they installed, and made sure I understood how to operate the fan. I could not have ask for better service. Danny was so professional and very friendly and courteous as was Jerod. I would definitely call them again when I have an electrical need.

I have become accustomed to contractors neither calling back nor showing up if scheduled. Armes has been the exception. I have used them several times and today was no different. Johnathan and Ethan were right on time, friendly, courteous, and ready to get to work. After briefly explaining the fees they began the arduous tasks of installing two bathroom fans, where none had ever been, from within a very small space. Though it took them several hours everything looks great and works great including the cleanup. The fees are reasonable considering how much effort it would have taken to do the job myself. Thanks again!

I bought 2 ceiling fans from the trading post and armes electric was recommended as an installer. They installed both fans and balanced them perfectly, installed canned lights in our dining room ,kitchen & hallway. just recently they installed low voltage lighting in our backyard and installed an outdoor ceiling fan. Pete even went with us to home depot to shop for needed supplies to save us about $100, great guy and staff. always respectful of your property and they clean up after themselves, you don't even know they were there. They even fixed a problem a prier electrician botched. Highly recommend them and we will always use them for any electrical needs we have.

On time, professional, and clean up after themselves. What more do you want from a contractor. They know what they were doing and charged a very fair rate for the work they did. I will use next time I need work done.

We've been using Armes Electric for 10 years now. Pete and his guys are simply the best. Seriously, you know that feeling when you actually find a contractor that is not only technically fantastic but also honest?? Yes. That EXTREMELY rare sensation of knowing you can actually trust that they are only going to charge you for work that needs to be done and that they won't rip you off. Although I am reticent to recommend Armes because it will make it harder for me to get an appointment, they deserve all the business they can get.

Wow, these guys are good! I bought what is probably the only ceiling fan Trading Post doesn't carry but I went to Brian at Armes Electric to have it installed anyway. He answered all of my questions and set an appointment. Marcus and Steven showed up right on time with a very positive, friendly attitude. They had to assemble my fan first. No problem. Then, because my condo has no attic and no electricity above the light switches, they had to cut 6 small (4X 2) holes in the wall and ceiling to wire the fan. Again, after putting up protective tarps and plastic sheeting, no problem. Then they cleaned up and were done in 2 hours, total. Armes Electric's ceiling fan installation price sheet shows $350.00 for difficult jobs. I expected to pay much more because everything about this installation (12' ceiling, unfamiliar brand of fan, needed wiring up the wall and over to the peak) was difficult. They charged me $365.00 and referred me to a master drywall repairman. I was/am delighted.

I will use Armes for everything electric in my home and I recommend them to everyone very highly.

Armes Electric was awesome. Marcus and Juan came to fix a couple of switches and outlets for me. They were so quick and neat and the work was done in less than an hour. Their price was very reasonable and I will definitely use them again for any electrical needs I have. Thank you Armes Electric!!

I had Armes Electric out for a problem regarding a GFI circuit. After some miscommunication and an attempt at fixing the problem, it was still there. I had already paid for a service call and a second discounted service call.

Pete Armes, himself, came to investigate and trouble shoot the problem. This service and the eventual work-around fix were done at no extra charge. Pete was most interested in culling my future business and wanted to go the extra distance to make sure I was happy. Great job!

I've used Armes Electric many times over the past few years for ceiling fan installation. low voltage lighting installation, LED light installation and several repairs. They always show up on time, are clean, neat and courteous. Their pricing is very fair. I would definitely recommend Pete Armes and his team!

We've used Armes on multiple occasions and have been VERY happy with the work (quality and price) to remain a loyal customer. The staff (Jason and Armando this time) are professional, helpful, creative in their solutions to minimize other issues (ie; drywall) and leave our place looking like they were never here. We'd strongly recommend them to others!

Loved that they came on time. They came, went straight to work, and got it done. However I wished they had introduced themselves and communicated better. I didn't understand why two people needed to come and fix a ballast. Also, I had to ask why there was a delay with the other light fixture when I turned it on (they're suppose to come on at the same time). I would have preferred for the technicians to explain that part to me and demonstrated that it was fixed rather that me having to ask. Otherwise they did good work.

Initially I had called another electrician when a few light switches in my house randomly quit working and after 2 1/2 hours of unsuccessful troubleshooting I decided to give Armes a call. From the get go, I really felt like they cared about finding the problem and sure enough they found the source of the issue and were so professional and efficient I decided to give them more business. I had them install a few GFI outlets that day and redo some of the wiring up in my attic a different day to ensure that my house was up to code in preparation to put it up for sale. I will be moving down to San Diego County and am so happy to know that they will service that area because I will definitely be using them again and recommending them to anyone with electrician needs!.

Very friendly and professional. Able to handle our small job on very short notice after another local electrician we had used in the past refused to return my phone calls. Pete, the owner, arrived on time in his Prius and was able to troubleshoot and repair our problem in no time. Highly recommended and I will definitely use Armes Electric in the future....thanks again Pete.

We love Armes Electric! My husband and I had a beautiful new ceiling fan and two ventilation fans, as well as some LED track lighting, that we wanted installed. All of the items were going to need wiring at the wall, and some were going to require accessing some very tight attic spaces. The owner, Pete, was friendly and professional, as was the woman who initially took my call. (I'm sorry. I don't remember her name.) Pete sent two of his techs, Mike and Jason, to our house, where they spent the majority of the day. Both men were prompt, professional, knowledgable, and very nice. They worked quickly and efficiently, and didn't make a mess. (A definite plus...) We were thrilled with the quality of their work and their reasonable rates, especially since we had TWO of them all day long. When they were done, we gave them a list of other electrical projects, big and small, that we have on the horizon. We asked them to give us estimates for each, and they promised to do so, a la carte, so we could see exactly how much each individual aspect of the jobs would be. They also made recommendations regarding how we could save money and energy. We will DEFINITELY be using them again soon. And we'll be recommending them to our friends. Thanks, Armes!

Pete Armes is the best. They have installed several ceiling fans for me. Also ceiling lighting. They have done repairs to my electrical. Everything they do is right and they come when they say they will. This is a company with total integrity.

This is a first rate company! I cannot recommend them enough. I needed to replace a can in our shower, which was a little tricky, but Jason and his assistant did the job. Also, I had outdoor lighting that was not functioning, and Jason showed me that I had a photocell timer that I didn't even know existed, tested everything, and helped me get all my outdoor lights functioning. They were efficient, professional, and came on Christmas Eve! We plan to call them when we upgrade our master bathroom to LED cans. Merry Christmas Armes Electric!

Top notch customer service, knowledgeable team, extremely professional and courteous. I would highly recommend Armes Electric and would definitely call on them again. I initially spoke to owner, Pete with some question regarding the purchase of new ceiling fans. He was very helpful and pointed me in the right direction. He also offered his cell phone number in case I needed to ask him any questions over the weekend, which I did and really appreciated this. His team arrived on time to install the fans along with new wall switches. I was impressed by how neat they were. The fans looked and worked beautifully. They also installed new recessed lighting in my living room, along with wall switch with a dimmer. There was an issue with these, but Pete, Brian and team made sure that the problem was resolved in a timely manner and that I was completely satisfied. I LOVE my new ceiling fans and recessed lighting. Thanks Armes - keep up the great work!

Just had Jason and Mike put in the wiring for our ceiling fan. They had to go between two floors, as there was no attic. Every other electrician we had bid the job, told us they would have to put additional holes in the ceiling to get the wiring to the source of the electricity. Jason said that might be the case, but, he said he would first search all other options, even going to an upstairs electrical source. Through their knowledge, skill level and perseverance, they found a way to tie the fan in to the electrical on our second floor, avoiding any holes in the ceiling (other than the ceiling fan itself). I consider this quite a feat and pretty darn awesome. They were on time, courteous, clean, efficient and vacuumed up the minimal dust they made. They made it a quick simple process. Would definitely refer these guys and would use Armes and refer Armes again. Excellent from beginning to end.

Called Armes to repair several electrical outlets and a doorbell. They responded promptly and fixed the problems. When I called back with a question about their work, Pete the owner, came to my home to make sure I was pleased with the service! Fantastic customer service! Plus responsive and trustworthy. Would call them again with any electrical needs.
