It took less then 30min from my call for Ricky to arrive! My job was small (fish wire a few wires to n new location) and Ricky quoted me a fair price. It took Ricky a bit longer than we expected but he stood by his price. He made sure to maintain the work location clean and didn't complain when I stood by and watched him work the whole time :)

I'll call him again for my next job.

I highly recommend Sherman Electric for outstanding expertise and service. Ricky quickly figured out the source of our electrical problem which was affecting many of our kitchen outlets and appliances (shorted out old aluminum ground wire in our original Zinsco exterior panel which caused fluctuating voltage surges).
Ricky has many years of experience, is very communicable and professional.

Ricky is very experienced and knowledgeable, able to do the work of multiple electricians by himself, and able to quickly troubleshoot problems that would leave other electricians struggling for many hours.  Due to his expertise and efficiency he was able to do some major work on my commercial property at a fraction of the cost of other electricians.  I would strongly recommend Ricky for any type of electrical work, but especially those that might require technical expertise or with problems that might be difficult to diagnose.

Ricky of Sherman Electric is amazing! Responded immediately to my inquiry, and dropped everything to come by and take care of two immediate problems.

Very professional and affable. He was quick and tidy, and made us feel like we were his only client. He will definitely be our go to guy!

Just spoke to Ricky, and he has to be one of the most professional, polite, and honest contractors I have had the pleasure of speaking to; in fact, he explained why I didn't actually need the service for which I was calling! I really appreciate his style and honesty. I will certainly call him when I actually do need help!

Was impressed by the reviews and quick response. Ricky was on time for the assessment appointment. He was very professional and said he'd get back with a quote that evening.  Well, no quote and no response thereafter, so only one star here.

Ricky was very professional in his approach to our problem. We had a forty year old panel and was arcing. This led to power being cut off for a day. Our request was not only for restoration of power but also to upgrade service to 200A. Ricky managed to complete a service upgrade to new panel 200A within a day. It was a challenging project since it involved a lot of work and co ordination with city and utilities. He stayed at our place from morning till evening 9pm to make sure we had power for the night. I'll hire him again for future projects.

Exceptional job! Called me within 30 minutes of me messaging the business. Was able to work on electrical problem that day. Clearly described the testing and resolution steps before proceeding. Fixed the problem very quickly and Sherman Electric's rates were very reasonable.

I live in an Eichler home and he was totally familiar with my electrical system and common issues homeowners in these kind of homes encounter.

Totally professional and a pleasure to business with!

Ricky Sherman did a tremendous job helping me troubleshoot faulty wiring at my house. He took the time to walk me through what was wrong and made sure everything was wired correctly. He was punctual, knowledgeable, neat, and professional.

Rick is super knowledgeable, super polite, and super nice. He is not the type of the contractor who always thinks about over-charging you, but rather to give you the best and necessary services.

I only had Rick for a quick wire inspection job, but I will consider him to do any electrical work first in the future.

Excellent! I highly recommend Sherman Electric. He responded quickly to a request for an estimate, then was able to schedule pretty soon after. He really went above and beyond expectations. Very professional!

Ricky did an awesome job! Even though it was the end of the day, he was quick to respond to our request and came over within 15 minutes. He quickly diagnosed our lighting problem and fixed it immediately.
We were so happy with his knowledge, great communication and friendliness.
He takes pride in his work and it shows!
We will call Ricky for future electrical needs.

Ricky did an excellent job with the wiring for a set of new appliances, including an oven, microwave, cooktop and warming drawer.  For the oven, he took it upon himself to call the manufacturer to make sure he got the electrical box in the right location.  As it turned out, they still gave him the wrong information, but he figured out a way to get it where it needed to go and moved it there quickly, nicely patching up the wall he needed to get behind.  On the day before the ovens were to be installed (literally the day before Thanksgiving!) we discovered that one junction box was protruding too much (by less than 1/2), which would have prevented the oven from going in.  I called Ricky in a panic and he happily offered to come that evening; he did and took care of the problem in about 5 minutes.  I highly recommend this guy!

I agree with Barb C.  I was impressed with the online reviews for Sherman Electric.  I had a somewhat urgent/critical need to have an upstairs (failing) bathroom ceiling fan replaced, but figured that I would also have the downstairs bathroom fan replaced at the same time.  Just as with Barb C., Ricky came out in a timely manner, indicated that he would get back to me right away with an estimate so that the work could begin ASAP.  I did not hear back from Ricky with an estimate.  I waited about a week and a half, then politely texted him asking when the estimate and work could begin...but heard nothing back.  I tried this again about a week and a half later...still, I heard nothing back.  Finally, about two weeks after that, I sent Ricky a polite text saying that, I guess I won't be hearing back from you.  It would have been nice to have heard back, with either yay or nay, about the job.  (He knew that I felt this was an urgently needed repair.)  I am at a loss to understand how someone keeps a business going with this kind of lack of consideration toward a potential customer who -- in this case -- was in urgent need of having the work done! The good news:  After that, I found a different electrician who gave me an immediate quote, arranged a date for the work, came out on time on that date, and did a great job replacing both of the bathroom ceiling fans.  So I guess I can thank Ricky for the fact that I have now found a great electrician...just not Ricky from Sherman Electric!

I had an issue with a possible circuit blowing after I bought an electric car and tried charging it at home. Even though it was late in the day, Ricky responded within minutes, came over that same evening and fixed the problem for me on the spot. He was very professional and honest, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an electrician, without hesitation.

Ricky was very responsive, on time, and professional.  He was very knowledgeable about the recessed wafer lights we wanted throughout the house.  He knew city code requirements and easily passed the inspections for our permit.  Ricky is a one-man operation and completed every electrical item on our punch list.  He tried his best to make minimal cuts into the ceilings to minimize drywall repair. Ricky was very neat and tidy and wore shoe covers inside the house.  He used third hands to build a floor to ceiling tent with plastic sheeting around himself anytime he cut into our ceilings to keep the drywall dust from flying all over.  He used a HEPA fan to suck the loose drywall dust and also vacuumed.  We highly recommend Ricky and he will be our first call anytime we need electrical work in the future.

Richard is the BEST!!  He fixed a recessed light that two other electricians could not fix.  He is now helping me with a temporary 220v outlet.  He is prompt to reply, timely and charges a fair price.  You can't go wrong if you choose Richard for your electical work.  I am glad I found him.

Sherman Electric is one of the most professional companies I have ever dealt with. The are quick and have amazing pricing. Being a property manager of an Old Victorian home I always run into electrical problems and Sherman Electric is always prompt to respond and fix it in a timely manner. I would not use anyone but Sherman Electric for my electrical repairs.
