Camex Electric & Builders

If I could give 100 stars I would. Angel is extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He has excellent communication skills, decades of experience and is always on time.

We needed to extend an outlet for our laundry area, other well rated local electricians came and quoted exorbitant prices or suggested questionable alternatives that may be dangerous. Angel came by, took a look, tested our circuits and understood the situation right away. His proposal was reasonable and he also went above and beyond, by helping us paint and patch the walls, as well as install our new laundry unit.

Overall, Angel is amazing and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs electrical help.

Angel came, assessed our problem (a short in a junction box/outlet), replaced it. Was on time. I find the $380 up front a bit high for simple jobs. It gives you 2 hrs labor, but many jobs are 30-60 minutes ... still - did a good job, on time. easy to work with. Thank you!

Update: on top of updating our electricity, we used Angel to install new water lines and lights.  A year later, a plumbing pipe broke.  We had erroneously thought the pipe that broke was his work.  Angel came by, took a look, and was very helpful in telling us what his work was vs what was existing.  Great customer service even when he didn't have to, in going above and beyond.

Angel came out in a Sunday to test my backup generator. He was very knowledgeable, and the test was successful. Highly recommended!

Our bathroom ventilation exhaust broke and Angel and Juan came in to replace the whole system. They arrived promptly and I like that they were very transparent with the work they did.
Angel, the main contractor showed me the type of vent he needed to replace my old one. When he came back, he notified me that the price was one hundred dollars cheaper. This brought down my total cost.
They were friendly and professional. I highly recommend them.

I rarely give Yelp! Reviews because so many contractors provide disappointing service and I'd rather give positive praise rather than fill another Yelp! review with negativity. So, I'm very happy to be able to pile onto the other excellent reviews for Angel and his company Camex! I had a time sensitive job to complete. Angel made time to come out early in the morning and provide a bid. His bid was reasonable (on the mid-range of the several bids I received) and he procured the insurance needed for my condo HOA in an expeditious manner - allowing us to start the work the day after his site visit for the bid. He showed up on time, communicated efficiently via text and email and ultimately did the work professionally and cleaned up after himself. Angel provides the service you expect from professional contractors and almost never get. I highly recommend him and will use his services again.

We can't recommend Camex enough. Angel and his team were incredible! He efficiently remediated what was done incorrectly in the past. He was 2 days faster than expected, a lower cost than expected, and he did it with good communication and a friendly attitude. Our garage is safer and nicer because of their hard work, and now we're ready to charge an EV! What more could you ask for?

Our company had a good experience working with Angel and his team to complete electrical work associated with our new A/C installation.  Angel was prompt, friendly, easy to communicate with, provided timely updates and completed quality work.  We would use them again and recommend them to others.

Angel as the name states is an angel. Came out right away and looked at our situation for solar installation electrical set up. Explained everything very clearly. Unfortunately by time we worked out the solar side of project, which started as zero dollars and then quickly climbed as their side of the deal didn't have allowances necessary for us to go with the project. That said, Angel was always extremely helpful and communicates well. In the future, we would not hesitate to use them when a need arises.

Honest workers are hard to come by these days, and I'm glad I gave Camex a call. Not only did Angel respond right away, but he went above and beyond to help me out. I needed an antenna ground installed and he did a top notch job to ensure that everything was properly installed. He was a one man team that did everything in a single day from laying down the conduits, drilling through the exterior wall to connect to the grounding bar, and patching everything up.

But the story doesn't end there, we had a neighbor complain about the placement of the conduit, and he immediately came out to rectify the situation. If you have any electrical needs I would not hesitate to contact Camex. They're the real deal!

Angel and his assistant were great!  They were able to come out on very short notice to look at my electric wall heater and were able to do the repair right away.  They arrived on time, were polite, cleaned up the area and quoted me a fair price.  Best of all he and his man had the experience needed to know exactly how to fix the old unit without needing a more costly replacement. It's been very cold at night and I am so relieved to have working heat again!  

I will be calling them again for any other electrical or heating issues in the future.

I needed some electrical work done around the house and had a hard time finding a dependable electrician to do the work. Camex were the only ones the come by the survey the changes and provide a quote.

Was able to schedule them very quickly to do the work. They turned up on time, wore masks and got to work quickly. Everything was done well, there was a small snafu with a light, but was rectified quickly and without fuss.

Definitely recommended if you want prompt service!

Excellent work.  It was impossible to get parts to repair a 60 year old bathroom fan.  The configuration and location  of the vent was not amenable to installation of a modern fan.  They grinded off attachment parts from the vent opeNing and rebuilt the opening to allow the new fan to be installed.  Excellent work on the fly.

Angel & Juan were punctual & Angel always communicated as to how long each step would take.  The project was to remove my old fuse box and add
a new panel/sub panel.  The whole process took about 3 weeks.  I have peace of mind, knowing that area is no longer a fire hazard.

The old cabinet for old setup was also removed and they finished off that
area with new stucco.  Within two more weeks, that area can be painted to
blend in with my house.

I needed some work done by a licensed contractor on an urgent basis.  I called Camex, and Angel managed to squeeze me in the same day.  He was able to assess and fix the issue in his initial trip for a very reasonable price.  I also appreciated his patience and willingness to engage with questions following the official job.  If you need an easy, reliable, client-focused contractor, I cannot recommend Camex enough.

The level 2 EV charger installation was fast. Angel and his team brought in their best talent and have everything ready to make it happen.

Don't hesitate to call and reach out, they will help you out in all scenarios.

I've hired Camex Builders for two different projects. One was a bathroom remodel the other was installing some new laminate flooring.

I believe a critical element in the success of any project is good communication between the client and the contractor, a thorough understanding of the scope of work and of course realistic expectations. Angel has always taken the time to ensure that he understands what it is that I expect, my vision for the scope of work and a willingness to stay on top of it so that the project is a success.

I have appreciated his willingness to in sure that the people who are working on the project are skilled and are ready to provide superior craftsmanship in the finished product. While I take credit for the designs and materials choices it was still critical that they were executed properly. For projects that will impact the look and value of your home I highly recommend them.

Need Level 2 EV charging capability?
Need to future proof your investment?
Not enough room on your tiny breaker panel?

Not a problem!  Call Angel of Camex Electric!

Angel is very responsive.  Upon initial contact, he showed up quickly to provide a very competitive quote.  He listens to your needs and work within codes to realize them!  If he discover unexpected issues during the course of installing your project, he works with you to find reasonably priced alternatives.  He and Juan even fix other electrician's oversights/mistakes for a reasonable price!

They are not just your electricians.  They are your partner to a greener future!

Call Angel today!

Contacted camex to fix an outlet in my kitchen. Appointment set up was done by text and they were on time the day of. Juan did a great job considering the outlet was located behind a stove. Also had a wireless doorbell that needed to be installed on the front gate, which they took care of. I will definitely use them again for any future electrical projects.

Angel did awesome!  Truly an angel, we were in dire straights with a power out suddenly NOT due to PG&E.  I had to scramble to find an electrician, and some people were asking me to wait the next day or even 2 days.  How can anyone live like that, food spoiling, weather getting cold, family to care for, work from home for COVID? Even with a small generator, we were up a creek, and I needed someone who could get me squared away ASAP!

Angel happened to be on his day off, and saw my desperate note I sent to a bunch of electricians on Yelp. He and his assistant, Juan, willingly came out in under an hour and were absolutely professional and polite, certainly a refreshing change from so many in this kind of work. They had a very positive demeanor about them, too, like having a friend come rescue you.

They traced the problem down within an hour to a bad main breaker and had it swapped out in no time. They got us up and running and set us at ease the whole time. Super grateful for Angel and Juan. Will plan to use them again for our electrical needs!

Angel and his worker did an excellent job for us.  They replaced our electrical panel, added several new outlets, ran new outdoor lighting, new doorbell, replaced dry rot portion of flooring and even hung up blinds.    They were professional, timely and cleaned up their mess.   Pricing was fair compared to other estimates.  Quotes and invoicing documents are clear and understandable.

We have been looking for someone to install a new ceiling fan on a loft with a high ceiling ( 15.5 feet) without electrical wirings in place.

Angel was very friendly, well organized, and knowledgeable. He visited and surveyed the place and provided the best options on the installation. Everything was handled professionally from the booking to the completion of the project. The new wiring tube and the fan are perfectly installed. It matches beautifully with the industrial style of our loft. Angel was so professional, and we highly recommend him.

Very happy to have a new, quiet bathroom fan installed by Angel this week! He is friendly, professional, and easy to work with. We appreciate the fair quote for the job, that he worked with our schedule, kept the areas neat and clean, and overcame the challenges presented by our older craftsman home.

Angel was very transparent and accommodating for the entire project. I wanted to install a wall charger for my car and he gave his recommendations on what would work best. The price for the job was extremely fair and honestly an amazing deal for the quality of work. He communicated what he was planning to do during the entire job and followed up as well.

Installed our EV charger, did a great job upgrading electrical panel and installing it directly. Would definitely hire again.

Called for an emergency electrical repair while preparing the house to be put on the market. Angel responded immediately and came out next day on Saturday  to check it out. Ended up being more work then expected but he was able to come on Monday morning and had it fixed including wall repair work. Very highly recommend he is a expert and very nice person. They did a great job will definitely hire again in the future.

Angel is easy to work with and did a great job replacing old switches, plugs, Cat5, recessed lighting and more. I'd hire him again in a second.

I contacted several electricians for installation of my wall charger before going with Angel. Angel and Juan did a very good job upgrading my breaker, installing a junction box, and a level 2 wall charger. They went out of their way to flush mount the junction box and trouble shoot any challenges along the way. Angel pulled the permit and arranged the inspection with the city. No upcharge for pulling the permit as some electricians do. Cost was reasonable working with these honest men. Communication was also easy along the way and Angel answered all my questions. Since Angel had a good track record working with the city inspector, the permit inspection easily passed.

We needed to replace our bathroom fan. Angel was kind to come on a weekend for a free estimate, rate breed these days. Even though we ended up not going with them, I highly recommend for being courteous and honest.

I saw Angel working on another project across the street, so I took a chance and rang him up for an estimate on an HVAC project.   Within an hour he dropped by, we brainstormed several different options and came up with a good solution.  I fancy myself as pretty handy - and Angel was happy to tolerate my curiosity.  He got me on the schedule quickly, and did top quality detail-oriented work.  Truly a professional tradesman.

Updated review: I was very impressed the first time around and even more so the second project in. The second project was even more complicated in our older building. Things went wrong at one point, cutting off partial power to one apt. which was the one apt we did not want anything to happen to ( of course, Murphy's law...sheesh). Angel stayed there until he could restore most of the power, as it was pretty late already. He had come 8 AM and stayed til 9 pm and came back the next morning 8 AM to fix everything and by morning everything was restored and back to rest of the numerous projects. He worked hard and accommodated us and the tenants in every way he could. He was responsible and updated us along the way and tackled whatever obstacles came up and anything we added! I believe after all this, he gave us a fair and honest estimate/price of job and an excellent detailed receipt. I appreciate all that he did and told him, his company is part of our team from now on. He has earned our business and trust to be the electrician for all of our properties that we manage as well as our own homes and we are a big family( 4 siblings on my side, my 5 kids-4 grown with houses, husband's side 5 siblings and grown kids too and businesses as well so he will probably be kept busy just with our family-lol!)! Awesome electrician with integrity and doesn't try to gouge you like others and works with you every step of the way! AND want to mention that many electricians ask or bait and switch and charge to give an ESTIMATE, people why would you give business to these crooks?! There are many honest people like Camex who will give a FREE estimate to begin with! If customers go with the FREE estimate contractors then others will change because they will lose business if customers are smart! So only go to those with FREE estimates bc those businesses are smart to begin with and know that quality and quantity will outperform crooked scheming tactics!

I recently had the good fortune to meet Angel Sanchez and Camex Electric and Builders. Top shelf experience from start to finish: they're focused on high quality and customer satisfaction. It was a small but potentially complicated project that required them to get in and get out in tone for other trades, and they did just that.

Angel himself is a self-made hard-working man: the kind of contractor homeowners like me always hope to find, and I've hired dozens over many years.

Thank you Angel!

Angel came in to provide us with the quote to replace bathroom fan.  He explained the problems, unknown as well as how much time it will take to it properly. He kept me inform of the progress with photos and calls. Pleasant and easy to work with.

Angel did a great job rewiring two circuits in my house and rerouting the wiring for my telephone at a very reasonable price. I recommend him highly.

Angel just left my apartment.  He put a lot of pride into his work and did an excellent job.  Pricing was quite fair.  Given all the work done and hours spent, he could have definitely charged more.  In addition to the great work at a fair price, Angel is simply a gem of a human being.  He is the type professional that you want to have on your team.  He is kind, straight forward, fair in his pricing, true to his word and operates with the highest level of integrity.  
I very highly recommend Angel, owner of Camex.

Angel and his team came to my place to install a towel warmer. The work was done meticulously and I'm very happy with the final result. During opening up the drywall, he found another outlet wasn't correctly mounted on the neighboring stud, and he went ahead and fixed it too. The project took longer than expected mainly because he wanted to be done correctly and thoroughly. I have a few other projects and I'm definitely considering working with Camex again.

We got our main panel electrical work and main switches done with Angel. He is very proficient and proactive in taking responsibility. He did thorough analysis and planned all the needed permit to co-ordinate appropriately with all parties. He is a very honest, humble and completely reliable person. We could leave house keys on him to do our important chores. Pricing was fair and explained the importance of all the process and work involved.
I would recommend him to anyone. Rudy and he is a very good team to work for.

I highly recommend Angel and Camex. I had five electrical problems that were difficult to diagnosis. Angel was able to solve all the problems. I found Angel to be friendly and understanding. He patiently explained the problem, the diagnosis, and how he fixed the problem. His transparency gave me confidence in his solutions. I also found his price very reasonable. He is professional and provided high quality service. I would go to him again for any electrical work in my home.

They just wasted my time and asked money for unqualified work. I don't know who gave you license - they should take it back.

Quick response, quick diagnosis of problem, and a quick resolution. Couldn't ask for anything more. Extremely professional and knowledgeable.

We hired Angel to help us perform a main panel upgrade which included a new underground service line in the city of San Francisco.  After personally coordinating with PG&E, 811, and having all utilities marked properly, we were set to begin the project.   We didn't have a date scheduled to begin the work, and one morning I received a text message from Angel saying he was ready to begin. I was not at the property but I trusted Angel to begin the job since the sidewalk had been marked properly and we had a very simple and clear plan of action.  About 4 hours later I received a phone call from a PG&E damage inspector who had happened to drive by the property.  I was informed that Angel's brother had showed up and begun cutting through the sidewalk with a wet saw, nearly severing the gas line and cutting a path well outside the agreed upon specifications.  I immediately called Angel and told him to halt all work, and found out that Angel was in fact sick but had sent his brother to start the project without him. When I got home, I was bewildered at the destruction that had been caused.  Besides opening the concrete in a different location (under the entry door no less, and not to code in the city because it would require 3 conduit sweeps..the max is 2) none of the cuts had been planned using a straight edge or chalk line, all of them were at odd angles and one of the cuts even hit the raised foundation and cut into it by about an inch.  It all looked terrible, with a lack of planning, organization, and management, and all the sludge and debris was left with zero cleanup, clogging the drains that are critical for rainwater runoff in the winter (this was January of our wettest winter in years). His brother is clearly not capable of operating independently, and should never have been sent without supervision.  Further, Angel was the one who told him to take a different route than that which had been approved by PG&E, and he even blamed his brother for what happened when he is the owner of the company.  Thank God the PG&E inspector stopped the madness when he did..I can only imagine if things had continued.  

We ended up having to cancel the contract.  I had paid Angel up front for the permits plus a down payment.   I had to threaten to go to the CA Labor Board to get some of the money back.  I ended up having to pay some $500-$750 extra to jackhammer out & pour concrete slab in areas that should have never been touched, and also lost the $350 spent on permits which had to be cancelled since they were under Camex's name.  I then had to find another electrician to finish the work properly, and all told probably lost several nights of sleep, at least $1k, and nearly 3 weeks of delay on the project.  He even tried to tell me that under CA Labor board rules I had to allow him to remedy the situation and finish the project before I could ask for a refund.  This is true, but these rules do not apply after such gross negligence.

I do not recommend Camex for any serious electrical work.  Further, when I revisited the company reviews on other sites, I found reviews that he had clearly either posted about himself or had a relative post about him.  Mr. Angel langauge here and there the way he talks such as those on Porch.com.    He is not up to date with the latest building codes in the city of San Francisco and should never have taken our job.  But, also my fault for hiring somebody who does not have BBB accrediation after a decade of doing business.

Angel and his apprentice installed EV charger in my garage.  Reasonably priced, honest, stuck to the quote and great work and accommodated request to run wires inside walls for a better look.  I will definitely call on him for other projects.

Wow!

I contacted Camex by phone with a sense of urgency as I had a project that required a quick turnaround in San Francisco with several unknowns and myself not being able to be on-site to guide the process at all. Angel contacted me back within minutes and I gave him the scope of the project which was to disconnect utilities from 3 shipping containers (water/sewer, gas, electric), as well as remove a large metal ramp, some container bolts, and some pipes that were in the way of being able to move the containers. This work required a licensed and insured contractor and someone I could trust to keep in communication with since I was coordinating everything by phone with the customer. Angel immediately went to work by taking the initiative to drive to the site, coordinate with the customer on-site directly to get a walk through, assess what was needed, and provide an estimate which he did all within a few hours of my request. Amazing! He also sent me all the Certificate's of Insurance required by the customer along with the estimate. He was my guy! I met up with him the following day to provide a deposit on the job, and we got it scheduled for the next morning.

The best things about Angel are his communication, flexibility, and his integrity. He provided updates every step of the way. He texted me pictures as the job progressed, worked directly with the customer as much as possible which saved me time, and ALWAYS responded promptly to my dozens of text messages, emails, and phone calls (even on weekends) during this process. When the project was delayed by a few days due to issues on the customer's end, he adapted and worked with the new schedule. When asked to go back to fix a couple of small things that weren't in the original scope, he jumped on it and didn't charge extra. I can't say enough good things about my experience with Camex, ...you should definitely give them a call if you need help!

Camex Electric and Builders are just simply the best. Angel and his team have become saviors for my family.
I first met Angel when his team were the subcontractors to a general contractor I had hired to remodel half of my Mountain View duplex. I was very impressed with his work - but not with the general contractor - and made darn sure I got his contact information.
Three years later, my parents had moved closer and were downsizing to a nice mobile home (which has challenges to remodel), and the contractor they have hired had done almost nothing in five months and was robbing them blind. My Dad was recovering from major surgery and they were living in a crappy hotel, and then in one bedroom of their new house - with no kitchen and half a bathroom.
Pushed Dad to call Angel and Camex, and I am SO happy I did. Angel came right away, evaluated the situation, and within two weeks he had gotten more done on the house than the other guy had done in 5 months! Within a few more weeks, my parents had a beautiful kitchen, lovely bathrooms, hardwood floor, and excellent paint job indoors and out. Angel and Camex put in a huge beam to make an open plan kitchen/greatroom and fixed the horribly mangled electrical job the previous guy had butchered. I was really really impressed. The whole team of guys was amazing, and really cared about the quality of their work and the family whose house they were fixing. The price was incredibly reasonable and his listened to all concerns and found solutions for every problem.
I then went ahead and hired Camex and Angel to help remodel for the other side of our duplex - for an aging-in-place update for my mother-in-law. New kitchen that was arthritis friendly, new bathroom fixtures, new no-slip vinyl plank floor, new electrical work, and full painting indoors. Angel found some truly scary electrical problems and I'm so glad we fixed before the house burned down! He installed new venting for kitchen and bathroom, and a beautiful kitchen that she is in love with, and all in just a few weeks. Reasonable cost, excellent quality work and superb communication and problem solving. I would recommend Angel and his team at Camex to anyone! They really saved my whole family in our time of need. A++

Angel, he is very professional in his work, working on my project making electricity, he converted a main panel from 100AMP to 200AMP
