You don't have to look any further than Pauric Electric. The owner, Blake, is a great guy and very professional. His crew is AMAZING. Carlos knows everything there is to know about electricity. They rewired our entire house and it works like magic. Blake is responsive to texts and he always strives to do the right thing for the customer! They will be our 'go to' electricians forever!

No need to look any further. Blake is your guy. He's honest and prompt, is fun to talk to, and does great work. He and his team are very professional.

Pauric Electric (also known as Pauric and Abe) have never failed to disappoint. They show up on time/every time, they do the work fast, well and within budget. I can't imagine using anyone else for my electrical needs and that's saying something because I've known them for years. Oh, and they have a great sense of humor.

I highly recommend Pauric Electric! They are professional, provide excellent customer service and are very responsive. I would not work with any other electrician in the Bay Area! Pauric re-wired my knob and tube, installed new light fixtures and trim, a fan in my bathroom and many other items! I cannot speak more highly of their team and if l ever do another project, l am reaching out to Pauric without any hesitation.

We worked with Blake Pauric and his crew again for a project to install a NEMA outlet for EV charging, replace some light fixtures around our house, and fix a faulty light switch. Blake is responsive to us since we had worked on a different project just a year earlier.

After some follow-up emails, he came out to look at the project and gave us an honest and straightforward quote. He also helped us get a permit and inspection with the City. Even the city inspector person vouched for his professional and excellent work. All in all, we feel very lucky to have found an honest, professional, and reliable crew of electrician.

Blake's crew included two other gentlemen, one of whom (Abraham) came back to be present for the city inspector as he was the primary installer of the EV outlet. We truly enjoyed working with Pauric Electrical again this time around and highly recommend them. His price is fair given the quality, timely, and professionalism they imbued into their service.

I am reluctant to leave a glowing review only because it means Pauric electric will get busier and I want them all to myself! Blake has been my go to electrician for years now. He knows what he's doing, offers sound advice, is typically extremely responsive, and is fun to work with. Pricing is always fair. They can help with a couple light fixtures, or do a full replacement and beyond. If he's available, you found a good one.

Veronica C.

We had an amazing experience with the electricians that came out to help us with an EV car home charger. We would love have you guys come back, thank you! Please let me know when you are available.

I met Blake and his crew 10 years ago when I bought my house and had my kitchen remodeled. Unfortunately my contractor at that time was really bad and after failing multiple inspections, he called Blake. He and his A team came and saved the day.
Since, for everything electrical in my house, I call Blake immediately. He is super quick to answer and comes right with his team. They work fast and clean and rise to any challenge an old victorian may have (my house - not me). I highly - highly - recommend them to anyone who needs professional experts. In retrospect, working in the first place with my awful contractor was worth it as I met Blake thanks to him!

Called around quite a few places in the city for a bid on a more complicated job. The owner from Pauric Electric was able to come out for an estimate and based on the knowledge and experience of the owner I felt comfortable hiring them for the job. (They had also done all the electrical work at one of my favorite trendy neighborhood restaurants and other more complicated jobs)! The work I had to get done was not cheap but in line with other half way proposed costs I had gotten over the phone.

On the day of the job 3 guys showed up on time and worked in my house for almost 5 hours installing a spit circuit, running wires in my drop down ceiling to accommodate a new heating bathroom fan and create an electrical outlet in my hallway for my new alarm system. The other outlet was 8 feet away from where the panel should be and running wires on the floor was not my idea of a clean look. Pauric and his team were able to do all this work without one single hole made in my ceilings or walls so I was very happy afterwards not touch up repairs or paints needed. Would highly recommend especially for more complicated job where expertise is crucial.

Pauric is awesome, amazing, brilliant! He stepped into our backyard remodel project when another electrician left us high and dry and we had just days to get our electrical work done before our concrete pour. He was able to squeeze in our project and his team arrived and got the work done. He is knowledgeable on codes and gives proactive recommendations. His crew is professional, efficient and tidy.

When we met Pauric we were in a little bit of a construction crisis. But I am so grateful that our circumstances forced us to find him.

I would absolutely recommend his electrical services!! And as a bonus, he is a just a great guy that you'll want to hang out with.

I called Pauric Electric after some vandal/thief broke into my combo mailbox / electric meter box and ripped the fuse out of my fusebox and all the electricity in the house went out. Blake was able to come on very short notice and replaced the fuse (which took about 5 seconds) and then, while he was here, he was able to quickly and efficiently address a couple of other issues I had outstanding: installing 220V outlet in the garage, replacing too-sensitive circuit breakers that kept tripping for no apparent reason (he immediately knew what the problem was, and was able to fix it.) At the end of the day, it was a very reasonable price for 3 things.

Blake installed our light fixtures impeccably in record time & we were very happy & during
Covid times he was very careful.
Great job & highly recommend

We're moving into a new home and needed some electrical outlets installed in several closets. I called around to a few places and got timeframes to do this work that made me gasp the dates were so far out.

Blake came to see the job site immediately and did an assessment. I was impressed because the owner came out himself and also works alongside his team on jobs. Oddly enough, he had done work at my current condominium and people thought highly of him. The assessment cost was well within the range of the other proposals, but the difference was that he was willing to come in a few days.

On the day of the job, Blake and one of his team showed up. They were scheduled to arrive at 8 am and they were at the house early. I barely had time to turn off the alarm system when they started work. They were done so quickly, I couldn't believe it. There were no messes or holes in the freshly painted walls. They were done in record time. I was so happy to get this done and not have to clean up after.

I further appreciated Blake's advice on the pros/cons of adding floor outlets. He was very balanced and willing to do whatever I wanted, but made sure I knew that it might affect resale value.

Pauric Electric is fast, efficient, and clean. I would highly recommend them and count myself lucky in finding a company with their expertise!

Installed an EV charing station in my apartment's garage. Excellent service, good price, quick installation. I left a voicemail and they responded within 48 hours and set up a schedule quickly. Highly recommend!

Great for large and small electrical jobs. Professional, very clean while working and makes great recommendations. Highly recommended.

Can't rave enough about Blake with Pauric. Excellent quality work, efficient, reliable and pleasant. His team installed an electric car charger and fixed an outdoor light fixture. Blake returned to install a light fixture and then helped us out this morning with a bad breaker. I only called about it after hours last night.
Fantastic!

Eric A.

Blake and crew did an amazing job updating our electrical and installing recessed lighting. They worked efficiently, were excellent communicators, and accommodating of our tight schedule. Strongly recommend!

12/12/2020 12:00:00 SA

Contacted this business via e-mail twice and left several voice messages as a follow up requesting an estimate some basic electric work. Never heard back! Unacceptable! Non-existent customer service! Wondering how in the world this business could have gotten all these customer service awards?! Very hard to believe!

Miss F.

1/15/2018

Showed up as promised. Polite but got right to work. In and out. Work was done exactly as requested and quoted. Job was neat and tools were not placed on my countertops. Not cheap but well worth the price. Would call again if need arises.
Hired for a second service call - Another 5 star experience with Blake. Fixed some very old parts and got me into the light again. On time, polite and charged me less than I expected. I have an electrician for life.

B L.

09/07/2020 12:00:00 SA

Blake (Pauric Electric) was the electrician for two of my homes. They were pretty large Victorian remodels. He is careful, conscience, very professional and offers very competitive pricing. You can totally count on Blake. I thought twice though about writing this review. I am about to do an addition, and don't want everyone else to fill up his calendar and he be unavailable for me!! lol

lisa g.

8/19/2019

Best electrician in the Bay Area- seriously, Blake can do it all. I have gone through a number of renovations and i always tell the General Contractor not to use his subs because I only want Blake for the electrical piece of
Things! I have been using him for probably 10 years and never failed to live up to my expectations. Highly recommend him!

Nigel P.

12/06/2019 12:00:00 SA

If I could give six stars I would. Blake came to check on a blown light socket which left the front of the house without power. I left a message and Amanda, his office manager, promptly returned my call the next morning. We set up an appointment and Blake arrived a few minutes ahead of schedule (the first wonder). The fix proved a relatively simple one, and (wait for it) he did not charge us! (That, of course, is the second wonder.) I suspect we've all had experiences with that $110 per hour or any part thereof, and I had my checkbook in hand ready to pay. I'm so happy we can add Blake to our roster of talented professionals. Apparently, he is willing to address both small (like ours) and more detailed jobs. So.....be sure to call Pauric Electric for any of your needs.

A sweet, generous friend offered to come by and help me install two light fixtures that I had purchased from Lowes many months prior but had put off installation because it was far more than I felt comfortable attempting. Electrocuting myself was assured.
Long story short, after several hours it was over his head too and several points of my apartment lost electricity.
It's 1PM New Years Eve and we called several electricians to get things fixed.
We reached the owner, Blake I believe, luckily and he was over by 3PM.
Not only did he fix our wonderfully, sweet and misguided attempt at installation but he got electricity running in all parts of the apartment.
He was ridiculously fast, agreeable and teased us in the funniest, good-natured way for our failed attempt. He made us laugh and adeptly made the situation right.

He is my new go-to guy for all electrical needs!
Can't recommend Pauric highly enough!
My handsome sweet doctor friend... well he isn't making a career change to electrician anytime soon.

I'm shocked that this business has so many 5* reviews given the complete lack of responsiveness and follow up I've experienced. I was referred to Pauric Electric by my building's assistant manager when the lights in half of my apartment stopped working. I gave them a call and left a voice message explaining the problem and asking them to give me a call back, which went unreturned.

I then tried to email them and they replied at 4am on a Friday saying they were available that day from 9-10 or 8am the next day. I replied when I woke up saying that 9-10 worked but received no confirmation from them and no one showed up. When I followed up to see what happened they informed me that they had already scheduled someone for the 9-10 slot but could do noon the next day. We replied and said that worked and again received no confirmation and of course no one showed up or answered their phone. Eventually we gave up and went with another company that was much more responsive

From all the positive reviews, it sounds like Blake is probably a great electrician -- if you can get ahold of him and he decides to show up

Steve B.

04/01/2019 12:00:00 SA

Blake is our go-to guy for all of electrical needs. Super responsive, professional, and very reasonable rates. He's the ONLY one we use and we recommend him to everyone.

Dan N.

6/17/2020

We had a job that required checking wiring inside the garage and external photosensors across about 20 units in two buildings. Blake was everything you'd hope for - punctual, well organized, fairly priced, and a pleasure to work with. If I have any upcoming electrical issues for my own residence, I will definitely be calling Pauric first. Fully endorsed/recommended !

P S.

11/01/2018 12:00:00 SA

We did an almost full house gut renovation, earthquake retrofit and roof deck on our home this year.
Our contractor hired Pauric Electric to change out our 90 year old substandard electric entrance facilities, main and breaker box, with a new 200 amp service all the way out to the sidewalk PGE box, completely rewire the part of the house that was still knob and tube, all the new wiring for the roof deck, and install all new recessed ceiling lighting in several rooms.
Long story made short, it was a complicated project and since we didn't want to disturb several key rooms it needed to be done surgically.
Bottom line, we highly recommend Blake, the owner of Pauric Electric, and his team: professional, high quality work, responsive, accountable, good followup, great crew in every way.

Jesse K.

06/11/2020 12:00:00 SA

I hired Pauric for a complete kitchen remodel that included a new sub-panel, all new wiring, etc.. Blake and the entire team were exceptional on every level through the whole job. Knowledgable, fast, punctual, responsive, a pleasure to work with, what more could you ask for? I'll undoubtedly be using Pauric for all my electrical needs in the future and recommending them to others.

Sandi K.

06/09/2020 12:00:00 SA

After reading so many good reviews I hired Blake with Pauric Electric to install all new smart thermostats in my home. I felt his estimate was reasonable and he did an efficient and excellent installation. I recommended him for a large job of installing eighteen address lights for my HOA. He brought his crew for this job and was well organized and did an amazing installation on time. I would highly recommend Pauric for any electric job. Blake is also a great guy.

Everything you want when you need to hire maintenance work. Blake is experienced and prompt. He came on-site for a free esrimate within a few days and work started in a week. And takes credit card payment.
Will use again for updating heaters and next projects.

Simply outstanding service from Blake. I needed a small job done and was almost embarrassed to call on an electrician for help. I'm so glad I did! It was clear no job is too small and every client is valued. Plus, this job that has been frustrating me for months, was completed in one quick visit. I'm so happy and grateful!

marc v.

05/11/2020 12:00:00 SA

Blake is exemplary! I've had the pleasure of contracting with him twice and can't offer enough praise. He's competent and capable plus prompt, professional, friendly and funny. Also, he is fair with his pricing and will do whatever it takes to troubleshoot and resolve your issue.

Marina A.

4/13/2020

I used Blake and his team on a big remodel project. Once again, amazing service. We've used Pauric electric now for a handful of jobs - some small and this was by far the biggest. They can handle anything! Fair, friendly and fast! Can't wait for another project and will definitely call on Pauric Electric again!

Carol R.

I am a woman that owns a small business going on 16 years. My office is in an old SF building. So you can imagine over the years I've hired a lot of handymen, contractors, and electricians. I know nothing about home/building repairs. So when something needs fixing in my office I need to rely on a contractor. And it's not always a great experience. I just had, hands down, the BEST experience with Pauric Electrical. Blake is a skilled professional that said he loves his work! Mostly I appreciated his great communication skills. I usually dread it when I have to hire a contractor.. I put it off because I dont want to deal with another rude, late, not competent, may not show up... or come back, person that speaks down to me. Then on top of all that, they do a substandard job and over charge me for it. 3 months later I'm having it redone. This was a waaaay different experience. They are a friendly fun crew that get the job done right! I know there are a lot of good contractors out there but, let me take the guess work out of it for you; hire this company for all your electrical needs. They are knowledgeable, easy to work with, and fair. AND ladies if you need electrical work and don't want to put up with some dodgy, ill-tempered stranger coming into your home or work place, don't want to be over charged for a half done job, and don't want to be communicated with disrespectfully, definitely call these guys. I cant say it enough good things about Pauric Electric; the work was done correctly, on time, and the whole thing was painless and pleasant.

New dryer takes 30 amps. The wall has a 50 amp outlet. Well, I didn't want the dryer to blow or set the house on fire. Abraham and a coworker came out. They changed the circuit breaker and installed a new plug.

Same day service and within an hour.

Happy happy joy joy!! :D

Ilan K.

1/15/2016

Blake from Pauric was a pleasure to work with. I needed my electric baseboard to be replaced as it was old and noisy. He came out quickly and gave me a quote and did the work in a timely fashion. Unfortunately the new heater was noisy;(
He replaced the noisy one with a new one which was noisy too! He willingly replaced that one too with a different brand that works fine and is quiet!
He was cordial throughout the process and wanted me to be satisfied. I rate Pauric 5 stars.

Blake did some work at our house. He installed breakers, rewired and added electrical outlets, installed conduit where needed, and was very efficient. He was great to deal with and I would recommend him very highly for electrical work. I could not be more pleased with his work.

Ariel F.

9/26/2018

Blake at Pauric has been great. I own three small businesses in SF, and have used Pauric for a few projects now. Blake has been communicative, on-time, reasonably priced and overall very professional. I am thrilled to have found a local electrician!

Jamie B.

02/02/2018 12:00:00 SA

Blake and the team are great to work with. Excellent service, quick work, responsive communication, and a very fair price. Blake was a recommendation from my fantastic real estate agents (Karen Cheong, Chris Sprague, and Cherie deFer at Zephyr)--and his team totally lived up to the advance praise.

I bought a new place recently and had them install about 30 recessed ceiling fixtures, install indoor and outdoor outlets, and run AV wiring between a few rooms. Blake was super friendly in coming to scope the job, and he and his team showed up on time and stayed on schedule throughout the project. They were very patient with a few change orders during the process, and I ended up with exactly what I wanted.

There was one issue after install that required a little rework (totally expected on a job of my size), but they took care of it within 24 hours. Customer service is terrific.

This house is my first adventure in renovations in SF, and I've learned that it's tough to get craftsmen to take on small jobs because there is so much work out there for them. Pauric was a great find, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

SF T.

Currently my keys are down the elevator shaft. How do I know this? I called and spoke to Blake he told me how to shine the light & I spotted them. Now I have to get someone to fish them out.

Laura C.

05/04/2017 12:00:00 SA

Blake at Pauric Electric provided a fair quote and completed electrical work to make my new place more liveable. His customer service and quality of work done are both excellent. Pauric Electric will be my first call with any future electrical needs.

Mira W.

10/27/2016

A contractor friend gave me Blake's contact for a small electrical project we had. I called him - and he answered. Then he told me he was away getting married the next day (Why DID he answer the phone!?) but if I emailed him he could come by when he was back in town.

Good to his word - he came by the next week and gave me an estimate - and the guys quickly did the work the following week! And the pricing was very reasonable. What a pleasure to work with these guys! I recommend them highly!

Herman S.

2/24/2016

Sent two emails and left one voice mail to schedule an electrician to come out to my property to give me an estimate. Nada. Must be nice to be so busy one cannot return a customers request for a potential job! That is bad business in my book...

Ren V.

10/24/2013

I'll call these guys again next time I need any electrical work.

There was a problem with the work that was done, but I was impressed that Blake came back immediately, admitted his mistake, and fixed it properly at a steep discount. I've worked with tradespeople that will never admit it if they make a mistake (and everyone does at some point, no one's perfect) and I prefer to hire people who are honest and don't let their pride get in the way.

Plus, I really like Blake's accent.

Nino C.

12/07/2013 12:00:00 SA

Fast response, immediate help, friendly... Just had a problem and helped me to solve it in 5 min.
He is the man!!!

Blake is the best electrician I have worked with. I am an Interior Designer in San Francisco and have worked with many electricians over the years. Blake is reliable, a problem solver, and a true professional. He is always on time and everyone on his team is equally wonderful to work with. He can be trusted in your home and with your cat! I recommend Blake 110%.

Raj S.

10/25/2013

Great work, friendly and at reasonable rates! My own negligence lead to the track lighting transformer burning out - or so i thought - until Blake came by and told me it was just fine, redid the wiring and saved me $500! He could have easily said I needed a new transformer and I wouldn't have known anything better.

Blake is awesome, not only did he provide excellent service, he came prepared by going to the hardware store in advance, buying a new transformer and lower watt bulbs to ensure this wouldn't happen again.

Jared B.

02/08/2019 12:00:00 SA

Blake does great work, cleans up with his portable vac, and stands by his work. A transformer failed for one of seven LED lights he installed last year, and today he replaced it with no charge. On-time, friendly, and reliable.

N P.

02/01/2017 12:00:00 SA

I need 6 stars for this review. Blake was responsive via phone and text and perfectly punctual. He fixed my problem and gave me a very helpful (and friendly!) explanation. Great guy, great work.

I found them on Google. They came over & fixed my problem in 30-40 minutes. Very nice - great service. Will definitely use them again! Thanks Blake!

09/04/2013 12:00:00 SA

BEST electrician in the bay by far.

Blake is a life saver. I bought an ikea oven and cooktop that needed additional outlets and he was able to do the job in 1 day, for a fair price. Some complications with the countertops arose, and Blake came to the rescue to problem solve the appliance placement issue. I don't know what I would have done without him. HE IS AMAZING!

Hard to find good contractors- he's def among the best! You won't regret it.

Debbie M.

11/29/2018

Blake is awesome and a real life saver! I needed an electrician quickly because the original electrician I had hired bailed on me. I got Blake's name from a friend, called him on a Tuesday, he came to our home on Thursday morning and fixed our 2 issues in less than an hour at a very reasonable rate! And he's a super nice guy, I can't recommend him enough!

Neil M.

07/09/2012 12:00:00 SA

Blake, Abraham and their crew are great.

After doing a Yelp search and having three electricians come bid on our remodel, Blake was the middle bid, but his suggestions and professionalism made me choose him. They did a great job upgrading our electric panel from 70 to 120 amps. They also installed lights/switches/plugs in our new bathroom and storage room all to code and handled all the electical permitting requirements.

This week we had them back to do a small upgrade in our kitchen and they were able to accomodate our quick turn around time.

Highly recommend.

Fallon R.

5/20/2016

These guys are awesome. They returned my call right away, they did an amazing job and they got it done quicker than I could have ever imagined. I will hire them again in a heartbeat. So glad I found an awesome & reliable electrician for all of our office needs.

Renae K.

7/16/2012

Blake @ Pauric Electric is Amazing!!!! I called mid afternoon to get a pendant plug-in light converted to a hardwired fixture, and he took my call immediately and came over to my apartment an hour later. The job that others quoted as an hour or more only took him 20 minutes. WOW. Blown away at how efficient, knowledgeable, and speedy he was!

Highly recommend Pauric Electric for all your electrical needs!

M T.

3/26/2015

Based on the great reviews written here, I contacted Pauric Electric via email to set up a consultation for a quote. Blake from Pauric responded quickly and we set up a time for him to come to our home the following Friday morning from 6:30-7:00.

Come Friday morning, Blake is a no-show. Fifteen minutes after our appointment time, I call and email. Six days later, I still have not heard anything from Blake or Pauric explaining what happened. Completely unprofessional and a waste of our time rearranging our schedules for an appointment that they completely blew off. Guess they don't need the business!

Toni K.

9/27/2018

Blake of Pauric Electrical has been the electrician for our condo building for some time. He has always been timely, reliable, and given excellent, advice, so I decided to use him for a complicated problem in my unit. This project required serious problem solving and Blake and Alfredo figured out an imaginative, and cost effective, solution. They did a great and intelligent job. I cannot recommend them enough.

Caitlin M.

07/02/2015 12:00:00 SA

Blake is awesome! He's professional, responsive, and most importantly, is extremely knowledgeable. PG&E came by our home to tell us to do some rewiring and we called Blake and he was there the next day. Don't see why you'd go to anyone else!

Cecilia C.

3/26/2018

Outstanding! Friendly, level headed, and highly skilled. Currently remodeling a kitchen in a hundred year old SF building, and despite a design hiccup, Blake and his team have been able to make it happen completely painlessly and professionally.

Melissa B.

07/06/2015 12:00:00 SA

We have been working with many professionals during our condo renovation but Blake and his team were the only ones that blew us away. Blake responded quickly and was able to get his team in to work on our project. They completed everything efficiently and we were impressed. His team was under a time crunch and still knocked everything out exactly to the timeline Blake agreed to. Blake's team was so professional, they were a great reflection of him. We are so grateful.

Andi H.

08/11/2016 12:00:00 SA

Blake is amazing! I gave him a ring to see if he could switch out a few bar pendants for us and he was immediately throwing out dates/times he could stop by. He was on time, got straight down to business, and even stuck around to check out a few other house projects I had questions about. Definitely hiring him again for future projects!

Kevin H.

12/05/2017 12:00:00 SA

Blake and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with and did an excellent job. Blake was incredibly responsive and efficient. I called him on a Tuesday asking for an estimate on replacing an electrical socket that had burnt out. He picked up right away and provided the estimate. He said he could even come by that afternoon since he would be in the area. I couldn't believe his responsiveness. We just had the work done this morning and his team came right at 8:00am as scheduled. The electrician took the time to explain why this issue occurred and showed us what was done and what he had to do to fix it. He even took precautionary measures for potential water damage since the outlet was outside. The whole experience was extremely pleasant, time efficient, and cost efficient. We would highly recommend Blake and his team to anyone! Everyone at Pauric we dealt with were very nice, honest, friendly, and hard working. We will definitely be using them again.

Christopher R.

9/29/2015

Another great experience with Blake. Was having some problems with a faulty outlet and gave Blake a call. He said he was actually just down the street, and could stop by in a few minutes. Minutes later he was at our door and problem resolved a few minutes after that. Once again, great service, great response time, and we'll definitely be using him again for our electrical needs.

Gregory R.

3/13/2015

Blake & Abe have been awesome to work with. Honest people who actually want to leave you satisfied with their work. Professional, clean, trustworthy, and great communication. Will only use their services for my electrical needs on the city!

If you want fast, reliable, quality service, Blake is your man. In a pinch, he'll be there to remedy your power situation. After learning about a bad part from PG&E, he responded quickly with a replacement part and repair within an hour. I would recommend him because he will give you an honest opinion and have you completely satisfied.

I needed electrical work done in connection with an in-law unit; it was a fair-sized job, akin to wiring a small cottage, starting with the installation of a sub-panel. Abraham, one of Pauric's principles, led the charge, and he and his helper were simply awesome to watch.

First, their intensity is amazing; they arrived in the morning, right on time, and basically didn't stop moving until late in the afternoon. Abraham is an excellent listener; even with a permit, the plans were mostly in my head, and he patiently figured out exactly what it was I was asking for. On numerous occasions, he listened to my idea, and then suggested an easier and less expensive alternative. During the course of the day, I made adjustments and changes to the original plan, and Abraham didn't complain in the slightest.

From having done other renovations, I am a little bit familiar with the electrician's craft, and Abraham's craftsmanship is impeccable. Everything was so neatly done I almost hated to cover it with sheetrock. Most importantly, his knowledge of electrical codes and safety issues is encyclopedic; in fact, he spotted a number of small code violations in the work of an earlier contractor, and promptly fixed them.

At one point during the day, I made a shopping run for them to a local electrical supply store - since I was home the whole time, I told them I'd be happy to do their shopping for them, so they could stay on the site, working. The owner of the supply store, totally unprompted, remarked to me that Abraham does really good work. How right he was. This was a medium--sized job; Pauric did it so well I would happily rehire them for everything from putting in a new circuit to wiring a new mansion.

Blake and his crew were great. We had a series of small jobs in our Victorian - fix some broken exterior lights on our garage, repair some interior can lights, and install a 240V outlet for an electric car charging station. He and his guys were friendly, responsive, and thorough. They also gave me some tips on fixing some broken light switches that we could do on our own.

Thanks Blake!

If you need an electrician -- for simple or complex jobs -- this is the guy to hire!!

I live in a high rise residential complex in SF, Blake promptly returned my call and we scheduled a meeting. The first time he came over, he tackled & remedied a lighting installation 'nightmare' that two other electricians couldn't solve. On his second trip, he installed a second (digital) lighting system. His initial quote and final bill were identical even though he spent FAR more time on the first job than he had anticipated. I was so pleased with his work and professionalism (and friendly disposition) I gave him a generous tip. Now I ask you, when was the last time you were so pleased with a contractor that you gave him/her a tip??

I recommend him without hesitation!

We had a great experience with Mr. Blake from Pauric Electric. He is very efficient and professional and a delight to deal with on a person-to-person basis. This is my second experience with his services and I was very impressed with how quickly he was able to install a new outlet, detect, and repair an electric wire that cut the electricity in my family room. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a home electric service.

Problem at Mom's house = 1/2 house no power and electric burn smell in one room. Called all the neighbors and area friends ... no one has a good electrician to recommend! Went on-line. Pauric has multiple reviews and 5 star ratings on more than one review site! Called and reached Blake O'F = will be to house in 90 minutes. Arrived in 60 minutes :o) Checked panel, and all fixtures, outlets and fixtures. Found a problem with one outlet. Removed it and showed me how it has burned on the inside! Replaced outlet. Turned everything on and checked panel, fixtures, switches, outlets again and made sure all good. Blake was fast, friendly, professional, reasonably priced, and honest about other work that might need to be done vs doing more work now. PLUS he did a super job cleaning up :o) Wish we could give him/Pauric 10 gold stars! Meanwhile, we have given his card to each person we had called in our search for an electrician.

Pauric has done two separate projects for me. Both times the team was friendly helpful and did excellent work. I definitely recommend Pauric.

A branch the size of a tree took down the power line and telephone line in my back yard, and tore off an old rusted attachment on the wall of my home. Pauric came out within 2 hours (yes 2 hours), analyzed the situation, fixed the attachment, set up everything perfectly for PG&E to turn on the power. And they did quality work at reasonable price. When PG&E came by, they remarked on the high quality of the work done.

And I found them on Google!!! Unreal.

I have to tell you this as well, the guy who did the repairs had his Dad along with him, with the most wonderful Irish lilt. His Dad remarked on the quality of the pine and how beautiful it would look stacked in the backyard, and how great the smell will be in the fireplace (neither of which I had thought of). I'm taking his advice about the location of the firewood, and looking forward to the smell in the fireplace.

In an emergency situation Pauric turned panic into a good story of counting your blessings. Great, great company.

Blake, the owner of Pauric Electric, is beyond amazing! I'd give him 10 stars if I could. His skill, especially for repairing a variety of electrical problems in an 118 year old house, was remarkable. Surprisingly, he had out-of-the-ordinary parts to fix old Victorian wiring and fixtures right in his van. He was efficient, remarkably careful, fast, and his prices were fair. And he's a nice guy with a great sense of humor. I can't recommend him highly enough! Remember, 10 stars!

Blake and Abraham just installed my 240v EV charger in my garage yesterday. Stellar experience from start to finish and here's why:
- Blake picked up the phone and we spoke in person on my first call - novel!
- He was able to come and look at my electrical set-up and garage layout either that afternoon or the very next day. He said that if we went forward, he could schedule me about 1week out - nice to know up front.
- He arrived on time for our apt and suggested that he rework a bit of my existing 2 boxes (main and sub) which would allow him to add a dedicated 50amp circuit versus upgrading to a larger sub panel or add a third box ( this latter approach was bid by another electrician for thousands more)
- Bid arrived either that evening or the next morning by email. In fact, all my communications with Blake were super fast - either answering the phone when I called or responding to email within 6-12 hours.
- He requested I send him the specs on the charger I had ordered so he would come prepared with the correct parts - efficient!
- I decided to change where I placed my charger which reduced the conduit run - no problem, Blake sent out a revised lower bid.
- Installation was quick and easy - Blake and Abraham were punctual, finished the job within 2 hours, let the job site spotless and even patched my sheettock!

Icing on the cake, Blake is very personable - nice, funny, trustworthy and down-to-earth. In fact, after he was done with the install, we chatted about dogs, living in the City for 15 minutes. I feel like I've made a new friend. Needless to say, I will use Pauric Electric in future and handing out Blake's cards to family and friends.

Blake of Pauric reached out to me with apologies and a desire to make it right. He offered to come out free of charge to relabel the circuits. I declined as I had already done so. He said he had not received the voicemail and email that I sent him four weeks before posting this review. I am satisfied with the correction.

We had an all around excellent experience with Blake and Abraham of Pauric Electric:
- On Time
- Got the job done efficiently and effectively
- Reasonably priced
- Still waiting for a quote on some additional work we asked about, but we are cool with waiting while other customer needs are being served

On a friend's recommendation I hired Blake of Pauric Electric to do a couple of days of electrical work for my home: he installed some recessed halogen lights, relocated a chandelier, added some ceiling lights, installed a ceiling fan, added a few electrical outlets, and installed lights (they come on automatically!) in my closets.

All the work was done beautifully and efficiently, so much so that before he left I was running around the house trying to think of other work I could have him do. In fact, once my neighbor saw it all he was inspired to have a lot of the same stuff done as well.

From what I understand Pauric Electric does mostly commercial work, but they were more than happy to do a residential job like mine. I appreciate that because I was surprised, given this economy, by the lack of enthusiasm that I encountered in other electricians when I got estimates for the same work.

Blake showed up at exactly the time he said he would and worked steadily and cheerfully. No disappearing for hours or showing up sporadically, etc. The job cost what we agreed on in advance and I felt totally comfortable with him in my home at all times.

Over the past two years I've had A LOT of work done on my home and dealt with quite a few contractors, plumbers, and tradesmen of all types. I have to say that my experience with Pauric Electric stands out as one of the best. From the very beginning I felt like I was dealing with an experienced electrician who not only knew what he was doing but was also very concerned that I was happy with the work. Couldn't ask for more!

Blake dropped by on short notice during his lunch hour to solve a mystery with a dead outlet in our garage. Within minutes he figured it out and we were all set. He even took the time to fix the door to the cabinet containing our circuit breaker! Whenever I need electrical work, I'm calling Pauric Electric!

After a fail attempt to fix the light switch for our living room chandelier, we ended up with a complete lost of power in the living room ( chandelier and outlets too ).
Sucks when it s Sunday late afternoon.
Monday morning comes and thank to one of my friend, I get Pauric Electric phone number. I called, the nice young woman ( sorry, I forgot her name) took my cell phone number and less than 1hr late Blake called me back. we arranged for him to come the same day between 11am and noon.
Blake was on time, in less than an hour he found what was wrong and fixed the problem.
He did a great job, was very friendly, professional and efficient and VERY well priced for San Francisco.
He is now on my go-to-guy for any electric problem.

I highly recommend him to anyone who has electric work to get done!!

Blake is the best electrician! My husband and I will be using his services for all of our electrical needs.

He responded to my email request promptly with an estimate of costs. I had two light fixtures installed in less than an hour- and he charged not a penny more than what he quoted. While he was here I showed him a few other lights I wanted replaced and he was very thorough and knowledgable about how to proceed.

Thanks Blake!!

I wish I could give an objective review of Pauric Electric but I was never even given the opportunity to use their service. I called once left a detailed message, my name, address (which is literally down the street from their listed address), and phone number. Never received a call back. A couple days later I tried again and reached a guy who said they would stop by that afternoon to help me out. Once again I gave my name, address, and phone number. He said they'd be by between 3-5pm but NO CALL & NO SHOW. #EPICFAIL

Blake was recommended by two or three people on Nextdoor.com so I sent him an email on Friday night. Blake responded over the weekend and already stopped by today, Monday. It took him all of about 2 minutes to diagnose and fix what was wrong with my thermostat. Then I asked for his help in replacing my smoke detector batteries which he was happy to do. Then I asked him how much I owe him and he said nothing. I am so grateful for how quickly he responded and for his kindness and help.

We contacted Blake, owner of Pauric Electric, for a bid on an electrical panel relocation and upgrade to code, GFCI receptacles for a kitchen remodel, addition of dedicated circuits for microwave, dishwasher and a new electric fireplace.

Blake's bid was by far the most competitive bid of the 4 we received. He did not pad the bid with work we did not need. We so appreciated his straighforward approach and his honesty. Blake returned all our phone calls, answered all our questions and scheduled the work to meet our very short timeline.

Blake and Abraham arrived on time with all the materials needed for the job. They were efficient, minimized unnecessary cuts in sheetrock and cleaned up thoroughly - all in less time than quoted!

Blake pulled permits, scheduled the inspection and met with the inspector for final inspection - passed with flying colors!

We know you will not be disappointed with these fine electricians - Blake & Abraham! And you will be entertained with Blake's good humor and engaging stories!

We recently purchased a very expensive chandelier (the shipping/packaging costs were insane). Calls to three other electricians went unreturned. Pauric picked up on the 3rd ring. They could be there that day. Jacinto was great and took extra care dealing with installation in an old house that had a gas line to the old fixture. He wasn't satisfied with the height and quickly adjusted the chandelier to the right height, He also quickly and professionally fixed some dangerous wiring and cabling issues in the bedroom, Prices are excellent and so is the customer service. Pauric is forever in my contact list

Pauric Electric was great! My electric baseboard heater had blown and it also blew out the thermostat. Blake was quick to respond, friendly, thorough and explained everything. I called and he came out for the evaluation that day. He was able to come the next morning to replace everything (after picking up the replacement unit that night)! He was experienced, had worked in the area before and was quick and efficient. We were very impressed by the experience, would definitely hire him again, and we would recommend him to anyone who might need an electrician.

So, the power connection to our old elevator, which happens to be on direct current, decides that it's going to disconnect somewhere in the line. A problem, seeing as the pipe apparently runs under the building. As this is a freight elevator and we have a warehouse on two stories, a non-functioning elevator is what you might call a problem.

I Googled SF electricians, and the Yelp review of Pauric Electric was the first that came up. I reached Blake immmediately, and he was taken aback at first because it turns out he had someone else call him with almost the exact same problem just a few days previously. He was out on a job at the time and said that he could come by the next day to do an estimate.

He was due at noon, but called at 11:15 to say he was stuck on the bridge and very apologetically asked if we could change the appointment to one. I appreciated him calling almost an hour ahead of the appointment to let me know the situation.

When he arrived, he got right to work looking assessing the problem and told us exactly what the elevator repair person said. He said he wanted to take some measurements, he'd get me a quote that day and could do the work the following day if we'd like. I said absolutely.

He arrived on time, got to work and had us back up and running in just a few hours. It was FANTASTIC. And, on top of his being higly skilled, efficient and honest, he was extremely personable, easy going, professional and very friendly. I asked him if we were stil good on the estimate and he said A word is a word. I wish everyone did business that way.

So, thanks to Blake for getting us out of a jam. I enthusiastically recommend him!

The light dimmers in my house have either been broken or about to break for a long time. I called Pauric because the reviews on Yelp were great. Blake called me back promptly, was at my house the next day, and within 2 days of my call, all my light switches and dimmers were working! Blake & Abraham were nice, fast and thorough! Thanks guys!

Blake has been our electrician here at our boutique for over a year and he is the best! He is very attentive and always does a fantastic job. He recently installed a new stereo system for us and did it so fast and professionally it was like magic.

I highly recommend Pauric Electric for any job you may have, big or small, you can expect great friendly service and superb workmanship.

I'm both a General Contractor and a Facilities Manager of a 110,000 Sq. Ft. live / work loft building. I've used Blake for both my own GC work and at the live / work building and he has proven himself as punctual, affordable and very personable.

I've also referred him to family members and they to were impressed with his work ethic, knowledge and easy going personality. And he came up with solutions to situations that saved them money which made them VERY happy!

I have used Blake and his crew at Pauric Electric multiple times in the last three years and always have a great experience! They have done small jobs and large ones--rewiring my house's 1937-era wiring, installing new light fixtures, etc. The rewiring job wasn't easy--it involved crawling in the tiny space under my house and fishing wire up through the walls. Blake is great, and if you are lucky, you will get to meet his dog Angus too.

My experience with Pauric Electric was very positive. Blake the owner contacted me immediately and we set up an appointment. Abraham the electrician showed up on time and gave me a fee quote. The work was excellent and Abraham is an experienced and capable electrician. Very high quality work and service. The price was fair. I was very satisfied and would not hesitate to use Pauric again.

Blake picked up the phone on the first call, was open to working with our schedule, consistently was on time -- overall, was pleasant and polite. He came to the apartment to check out the site of our future ceiling fan and was happy for us to run past him the fan and remote we wanted to purchase. He kept his price to the one he quoted even when he ran into a glitch attaching the fan to the building infrastructure and needed to plan an additional visit to complete the installation.

My sister and I just bought a place in the Mission and were looking to get a couple pendant lights installed in the kitchen and replace a fixture in one of the bedrooms with two pendant lights.

The work in the kitchen was tricky since there was no existing fixture, and we were anxious to make sure that the work was high-quality and there was limited impact on the walls. Pauric Electric did a great job! They brought a whole team of knowledgeable, competent and friendly guys who completed the work in much less time than I thought it would. They helped lend a hand in moving a few things around, even though it wasn't part of their job. Their pricing was also very reasonable.

Highly recommend! We may call them back for the other bedroom later ourselves!

Over the past two years, I have had Pauric Electric back to work on a number of different projects and have been very happy with their work. From overhauling our basic wiring (to bring it up to code) to fixing one off projects (light fixture installations and running ethernet cable), Blake and Abraham are fast, friendly and efficient.

I HIGHLY recommend them as they will do a great job and do it quickly.

First of all, I cannot recommend Pauric Electric enough. Our office bathroom light was not working properly, and the issue seemed to go beyond replacing the light bulb. Blake came in, and within 5 minutes, fixed the problem. On top of that he gave us a better, more efficient light. He pays very close attention to detail, cares for design and his clients, fast and efficient, and very easy to work with. You get more than what you pay for, and I would definitely hire him again.

Blake & his team are so good at what they do. I thought that what i needed done was going to be complicated, but Blake came by beforehand, asked me some questions, and seemed to get it right away. When his team came to do the work (which they estimated at a full day, but ended up taking them less than half a day), they did it quickly & neatly. If you're thinking about installing low-voltage lighting, even an RGB controller, definitely call Pauric.

Blake and his team were AMAZING. We can't say enough about how pleased we are with Blake's electrical knowledge, ability to communicate, friendliness, affordability, efficiency and overall great service. Our new home had a ton of stuff that was not up to code and Blake tackled it all with ease and no-nonsense communication. And wow -- he and his crew were so quick! Kudos and thanks. We'll recommend them over and over again. :-)

Absolutely great service from Blake and the entire crew at Pauric Electric. We recently purchased an electric vehicle and needed to have a high voltage charger installed in our condo's garage in San Francisco, Blake came highly recommended and came to assess the job, and promptly scheduled the installation for the following week. His team did a fantastic job involving installing a 50amp circuit and conduit from a remote panel down into the garage, everything was done extremely cleanly and in the end without the need to rip up walls etc, a very professional job. They finished ahead of time and under estimated cost, so we were extremely pleased with the service. Cannot recommend Pauric higher.

Blake and his crew worked a miracle on the entry of my quirky old Victorian. The ceiling has an original, 116-year-old plaster molding that was installed when the house still had gas lights. The defunct gas pipe was still in the ceiling and sticking out of the molding; a previous owner took the easy way out and installed a lighting can off to the side, which meant any light had to be pulled over by the cord and attached to the old gas pipe. Pauric Electric managed to re-route the wiring from the can to the inside of the molding, shorten the existing pipe, install a bracket, and hang my new pendant light--all within an hour and through a 1.5-inch opening in the molding. In addition, Blake is quick to respond to emails and can schedule appointments within a few days, which is not always the case with his colleagues. I could not be happier with the experience and the work. I will be calling Pauric Electric whenever I need electrical work done.

From the moment Blake arrived at my house to give me an estimate, I was impressed with his professional manner and knowledge. He upgraded the electrical in my entire house, from 30 to 100 amps, and brought it up to code. They installed a new thermostat and a light/fan in the master bedroom. He and his assistant, Abraham, did it in one day (just as he promised) and I'm thrilled with the work they did and the manner in which they did it.. These guys really know their stuff and are pleasant and tidy - imagine that! I didn't have to clean up after them at all!

I had an odd small project for an electrician. I needed shoplights installed in my garage wood working shop. Blake was super helpful in choosing lights that would work (and of good quality), and advising on placement in a low ceiling environment. He installed the lights very quickly, and came back to install a last light after we learnt smaller lights were not available. His workmanship was of excellent quality. What I liked most of the experience was that Blake had the time to listen to what I wanted done.
