SJ Rios Electric

Sonny was able to come to our residence and make major changes to existing electrical work to prepare for a solar install. We then asked him to help us with the electrical in a new build to residence and the work was done complete with updates along the way and recommendations of things to think through. Then I added an additional project of wiring my house for data with a small network closet.

Sonny has been super responsive to any questions concerns or plan changes to the existing work. The quality of work is great, the ease of working with Sonny is excellent, and he's now my go to for any electrical needs.

Sonny also makes sure to take care of the work area and surroundings and cleaning up after the job.

I would highly recommend Sonny.

I needed a ceiling fan installed I got a referral for
SJ Rios Electric he came over the same day and Sonny did the install quickly and professionally great service I recommend him to anybody

We had a lighting problem, a fluorescent fixture that was misbehaving. Sonny responded promptly to our request for help. He came, he saw, he fixed, and he also identified another issue we had with a circuit-breaker panel that is dangerous, as fitted originally to our 1950s-built home.
He was efficient and not expensive. I would recommend him highly to anyone in the area with an electrical problem. We will ask him to replace our panel in the near future (hopefully before the house burns down).

I've used Sonny Rios two times , for 3 different  issues.  All three issues had intermittent (ghost like) electrical issues that needed investigation. We didn't know if it was major or minor.  Sonny came in and figured it out, fixed and tested  all 3 issues.  My bill was very fair.  A dishonest person could have gotten me for thousands more!!

My home is a money pit that will unfortunately  need more SJ Rios electrical  services.  Its nice to know I have an honest Electrician.

I needed to check my electric panel because of an expansion of a home flight simulator project. I called SJ Rios Electric and Sonny came to my house and clearly explained to me my options in plain English so I could  make an informed decision.

He provided a detailed explanation of what he would be doing to add a new circuit to my existing panel and avoid messing with my current electric design. I really felt he was willing to embrace the most cost-effective action rather than the most costly one. I really appreciate honesty and what I consider a fair cost for the entire project.

He showed up on time and even played with my crazy dog LOL.
I'll be a loyal customer of SJ Rios Electric from now on.

My hero! Couldn't be happier.
Just moved into an old craftsmen that needed some TLC, new outlets, light fixtures, fans, dedicated lines to basement sump pump, etc. including new HDMI outlets customized  for my 50 flat screen TV installed on a wall unit over the fireplace. Considering the existing wires is a mix of old and new, there was Lots to do!
Received recommendation and contact info from a coworker and called SJ Rios Electric. Sonny came right over and was able to provide a detailed estimate, and schedule the work within a few days. On the schedule date, Sonny was on time and went right to work (throughout the house, under the house!) and finished EVERYTHING in just a few hours. Quality of work is amazing, got exactly what I wanted. We are very very happy, and will def be calling SJ Rios Electric for all my needs! Well done Sonny, well done.

The level of service required to succeed in the Yelp economy is unfairly high, but Sonny clears the bar no sweat.

We called him during the Super Bowl, and he called us right back when the game was over. He was willing to come over on Sunday evening. He was prompt and extremely professional. His prices are competitive.

When it turned out the motherboard on the heater had fritzed out, he had a contact who could also come the same day and bring a new part.

I called Rios Electric to fix a broken fan. They showed up within a hour and had it working in no time.

Great phone customer service too!
No complaints!

I chose Sonny because of the positive reviews concerning his reasonable prices, availability, and friendly attitude. We had an emergency and Sonny was able to help put my mind at ease, and did his best to come ASAP. Fast response time & reasonable pricing.

Sonny was able to assess our electrical issues quickly and efficiently. He was on time and called when he was on his way. He even I had a switch that only needed to be release and Sonny was honest with me and did not charge me extra.

I am a Manager of a Financial Institution and my members ask me all the time, do you know of someone that can etc.??? unless I myself have used your service, I would never refer you.  That being said, Sonny's installation was prompt and clean. I will definitely be using him for a few more jobs around the house and I would not have a problem of referring Sonny to people I now.

We had a bit of an emergency and Sonny was able to help and put our minds at ease.
Sunday night an outlet we don't use caught on fire/exploded and wouldn't die for a good 20 miss give or take. Nothing else caught on fire yay! We shut down the electricity just in case. That following morning we called Sonny and he was able to come within a few hours. He did a great job and explained the problem, reason & resolution. We will definitely be using him for a few more jobs around the house. Fast response time & reasonable pricing.

Sonny and his team has been amazing.   Not only they worked fast and clean, the work was also more that what I have expected.  On the side, he also gave me some advice on other projects that I could have easily taken care of my own.  I really appreciated his help.

My dishwasher was fried, and there was no power after replacing the dishwasher. Called Sonny, and he came on time. He quickly figured out the problem and fixed. I was so impressed with his service, I scheduled with him to replace the breaker panel. He came on time. The job is very professionally done, and he cleaned up really nice.

His price is very reasonable . He will be my future electric guy, and I will definitely recommend him.

Received prompt and courteous service both times.  We had two sump pumps and both pumps had faulty breakers / outlets.  Sonny replaced them both and did a great job.

My first experience with Electrician, and it was such a joy to work with Sonny!!  He showed his professional in many ways:

- Came right on time
- My issue is a bit complicated and he knows exactly what to do during the  troubleshooting, quickly fixed the problem and cleaned up everything after the job was done
-  Very reasonable price compare to other Electricians in the area
- I made a mistake when i put the panel back that caused another issue, and he came back after working hours and and fixed that for FREE!!

I wish I could give 6 stars!

If you're looking for a truly professional electrician, look no further. SJ Rios is the place to call: 408-292-6798.

I had a whole snarl of wires in my 1930's house, a real tangle of electrical mayhem that had mounted up over the years and throughout many different ownerships.  The old breaker box was at the breaking point.  Seriously. Sonny put order to the mess. I can sleep better at night now knowing that the work has been done properly.  He knows what he's doing, is neat 'n clean (that counts for his work as well) and is very efficient.

Why would I use anyone else?!!

I got Sonny's name / Company (Rios Electric) off a neighborhood bulletin board.  Many many members praised Sonny for his work and professionalism, and I can see why.

There's 'always' been a problem with mold in our Master Bath.  The last time we had it cleaned the representative said the molds grow so quickly as there is no moving air. Water just sits there for a long time after each use. He recommended an Air Fan in the ceiling, I  thought that would be a great solution.  

So the next time Rios Electric was named - I knew it was time for me to call. Sonny returned my call promptly and - things were set to go.

From our conversation he generally knew what to expect.  Upon arrival I received a reasonable bid, and then we had a discussion about which fan unit / Brand to install. He recommended the Panasonic as it was high end quality and a very low operational 'hum'.    He was right.  We can hardly hear it running when we're in bed.

With this great experience we needed / used Sonny's services again. This time to deal with a problem of a fuse continually 'blowing' in hot weather - when the freezer was working extra hard.  

Wow, this solution was broad and extensive...  When our house was built they put a ton of  receptacles on the same circuit.  Get this, the middle bathroom, utility room and 'two' garage outlets.  No wonder it kept blowing - we had a FREEZER, water softener, in constant use, a washer & dryer occasionally in use - but the big thing was when PLUGGING IN MY WIFE's PRIUS - what a power drain.    

It was obvious we needed another circuit breaker BUT with no more slots available - we had  to go with a new / bigger breaker panel.-  no decision needed. Sonny masterfully installed this and did a good job of covering up the cut Sheetrock.

Also, during the process Sonny noticed a cord going from one overhead light to the other with only an extension thick cord.  He said that had a high level of fire danger.  Well he fixed that too.

Well since we were taking care of electrical needs, I mentioned I wanted another dedicated  outlet in the garage -  this one in front of the other side of the garage  - just in case another electric car was in the future.  :)

In summary, I can't say enough about my pleasure and the results provided by Sonny / Rios Electric. I will definitely use Rios Electric in the future for any of my electrical needs

May be I got a bad lemon.
Looking at yelp reviews, I called this company for estimate.
I have fairly medium project of home remodel, not small odd job kind.
He was willing to come quick for estimate. But I was quite disappointed to note that he charges for his estimate !
I really wonder how other Yelp reviewers got around this.

So glad that we found Sonny. We just bought an older home that needed some minor electrical work done to repair a bad outlet, add dimmers, and install a new outlet.

Sonny promptly returned my phone call, came out and took a look at what needed to be done, and then made an appointment to return and get the work done.

He was super conscientious about covering his shoes and putting down drop cloths to keep our house clean. I'm also giving him 5 stars because he is not the type of person who will come into your home and try to up-sell you on unnecessary work.

We will definitely be using him again in the future for any other electrical needs.

Mr. Rios has just completed two days of work on our place.
Day 1 was removing old ceiling fan/light assemblies that had been installed - not up to code - by the previous owner. Mr. Rios got us on track with new installs that are up to code.
Day 2 was replacing a 1960s breaker box with something that now meets our current demands with room to grow, as needed.
Mr. Rios has been our go-to guy for electrical work for several years and has been instrumental in correcting many issues left by a poor DIY former owner.
We look forward to many pleasant years in the house.

We recently had Sonny install a new Panasonic light  /  vent in our bathroom. His quote was $100.00 less then two other Electricians, and was able to install it the next morning. The other Electricians were booked for two months.    
We are very happy with his work.

We are smack dab in the middle of having a new roof installed... and this morning at 7am we spoke with the guys putting a new roof on our home (since it was raining, it was a urgent call) ...seems that there was a light fixture in the way of a sun tunnel we were hoping to have them install.

The roofers couldn't move it, and said we'd need a licensed electrician. Where would we find an electrician so quickly???
My husband searched electrician in on our community bulletin board. He found Sonny and called him a few minutes before 8am

I'm happy to say Sonny just finished a GREAT job at our home. He arrived at 9:30am as promised, moved the light, and a few switches that were in wonky places, even re-installed a ceiling fan that was not installed correctly.

Sonny is absolutely great! We're even going to have him look at rewiring the whole house! I don't think you could go wrong with this guy!

We HIGHLY recommend Sonny.

Sonny is hands down the BEST electrician that I have come across!!!  Very professional and on time.  My mom needed some electrical work done on her home and I needed someone that would take their time and do the job right.

Thank you again Sonny for your great work.

It does't get much better than having Sonny Rios for an Electrician.
My home is about 50-60 years old and has electrical issues
Sonny problem solved creating an automatic turn off for an old wall heater and replacing a Breaker Box that was overloaded and in a very tight space.

He's great about either returning calls, and showing up when he says he will and he's just a super nice guy.  He's busy because he's good, but he gives a window-of-time for availability.

Sandi in Los Altos

Sonny is freakin' awesome!

I got several quotes for the job, and he was one of the lowest.  I went with him because he sounded like a personable guy over the phone.  

He came out to look at the job and kept his word on the price. (We were changing out the Zinsko panel and moving the microwave to a dedicated circuit) He then found a whole other panel under our staircase that I had no idea about, and saved me even more money by putting the microwave on that panel instead!  

I wish he did more than just electrical, because I would definitely continue to use Sonny for handy work around the house!

We were moving to a new home during the holidays and Sonny was the only person who was available for the ceiling fan installation.

Even though our home is pre-wired and structurally sound for ceiling fans, the prices everybody else quoted was exorbitant. They were charging 5 times the cost of my fan!!!!

Sonny was clear & competitive on pricing, was available, is reachable by phone or email and got the job done fast.

Sonny is the consummate professional.  He was able to help me with just one day's notice, installing a bathroom light fixture, replacing the door bell and he even threw in replacing a battery in a smoke detector that I couldn't reach.

He's polite, courteous and neat.  I'm already planning to call him again for another project.  I highly recommend him.

Sonny is quick! I placed a call to him at noon because I found my lights flickering. He then came to my house at 4pm. He was able to determine the cause of the issue and proposed a solution and worked on it at no time!

I called Sonny late in the afternoon today for an emergency situation. He was at the location when promised, diagnosed the issues within minutes and solved the problems. He also provided me with some helpful information for future consideration. I would no hesitate to call him again ...Great Job!

Called Sonny for some electrical work in my garage. Was easy to reach him on the phone, he got a good description form me of what was needed, and best of all, was able to come in the very next day, as it was kind of time sensitive for me to get the work done. Was a bit pricey than I would have liked, but, I didn't shop around much due to the time crunch. He was right on time, completed the work well and cleaned up the place after completion!
Docking one star just for the price. One of my friends who got a similar work done paid much less than what I did, but I have absolutely no complaints about the work done. Very happy with the output.

I called Sonny with an emergency situation - my outlet near the stove had shorted out which caused a mini-explosion.  I cut the power and looked up an electrician.  I found Sonny through Yelp and called him the next morning.  He promptly returned my call, patiently listened to me explain the issue, came over within hours that same day, and now everything is back working safely.  Couldn't recommend Sonny and SJ Rios Electric highly enough.

Sonny came highly recommended by many of my neighbors in the Midtown / Rose Garden part of San Jose, and he's local to the area so it was an easy choice to enlist his help for our upgrades. Of four electricians called, he was also the first to return my call, and one of the others had done work at our place previously!

I can say now, after completing this project, working with him has been a pleasure. Sonny is prompt to return calls, straight up about the work, his approach to it, and the expected cost. Most importantly, his work is well done and on schedule.

We appreciated his ability to fit us into his schedule, his familiarity with older home wiring (knob and tube for our 1940's home), plus his thorough knowledge of the building/electric code, City of San Jose requirements, and what it takes to upgrade our system safely and correctly.

When setting up the job, we laid out a clear scope of work which made it easier for him to price. He helped us finalize our specifications so we knew exactly what we were going to get and would be happy with the result:

--Laundry room: hang new ceiling light fixture (we provided fixture)
--Bathroom: ventilation fan/light: Cut out and install in ceiling over shower; New GFCI and switch. New home run to panel; duct as necessary to attic vent. (we provided vent fan and duct.)
--Bedrooms: New electrical outlet and dedicated run to panel in each room. Adjust depressed outlet in northwest bedroom closest to bathroom.
--Living room: Fix 3-way outlet with new switch (we provided replacement switch). Install new outlet in corner opposite front door with new home run to panel.
--In old exterior panel box remove old doorbell transformer. Install GFCI outlet to support front yard sprinkler control.
--Backyard: New run to panel for new exterior GFCI outlet and light on exterior wall; install 3-way light switch underneath fixture and in laundry room at existing switch. (we provided light fixture.)

He also spotted a few unsafe conditions left by a previous electrician that could have resulted in electric problems or even a fire, and he helped correct those issues immediately. (Specifically a 40 amp breaker was installed by the other guys on a 30 amp wire, which could have resulted in burning wire long before a breaker tripped, the whole reason circuit breakers exist in the first place!)

I give Sonny my highest recommendation and will hire him again -- there's a lot of work to do around this place.

Just moved into a house last month in San Jose. We had everything gutted and renovated but when we plugged in our computers, everything would shut off. We couldn't figure out why, but we called in some electricians to give us bids on resolving the issue. Sonny gave us a really fair bid. Apparently the electrical box we had was so old it couldn't support the amount of electricity we needed to use. We had to have a larger, updated- to-current-code, electrical box installed.

Sonny finished the job in one day and was very professional from start to finish. He was also nice to our household pets (3 dogs and a fat cat) and they didn't mind him after the initial meeting. We even had the hidden nanny cameras on and were watching him (we've come across too many service providers that haven't been nice to the dogs). No problem whatsoever. We also had my brother come check the work - he was a licensed commercial electrician but went into another field - Sonny's work passed his inspection too.

Our computers and other electronic devices are all working simultaneously now and this is an enormous relief because my husband and I both work from home via computer/internet.

Without hesitation, I recommend Sonny and SJ Rios Electric for electrical work.

Talked to the electrician and explained that we have whole house to remodel and need an estimate. He said that he wants to get paid for coming out to get the quote for the job that needs to be done. Not a nice beginning.............

I chose Sonny because of the positive reviews concerning his reasonable prices, availability, and friendly attitude. He was able to assess our electrical issues quickly and efficiently. He gave a 2pm appointment and then called to give me a 15 min. heads up when he was on his way. He even went to Lowe's to purchase the new lighting fixture and bulbs for me (the other one was ANCIENT). Once he returned, the installation was prompt and thorough. I will certainly call him again for future electrical issues.

I highly recommend this small company for electrical repair! Very professional , on time and very efficient!

I asked for extra business cards to pass around to neighbors in need of a reliable electrician!  That should say enough!!

At literally the last minute, I discovered that our project was lacking severely in the electrical outlet department (Argh!). I placed calls to several folks that I typically use, but on Friday morning at 10:00, it was next to impossible to get someone out here with zero notice (they all did try to help me though).  No harm/No foul with the folks I typically use, they were simply booked solid today and it had to be done today (furniture coming in the early AM).  Based on the Yelp ratings, I ultimately called Sonny at S.J. Rios.  Sonny called me back very quickly and said he could make a detour and take care of the outlets for me (most excellent).  As promised, Sonny was at my front door in under an hour.  The price was quite competitive, no weird upcharges or nonsense and the work quality is simply -outstanding-. Sonny was personable, professional, very knowledgeable, he works well around pets and has the patience of a Saint.  I highly recommend Sonny and S.J. Rios for your electrical needs. THANK YOU, Sonny!

Sonny was awesome - efficient, friendly and affordable.

We called Sonny to troubleshoot and fix a couple of circuits in our house, including the one to the garage door opener. I called him in the morning and he agreed to come by the same afternoon. He arrived on time, checked around efficiently, and identified the problem - short at termination cap. He installed a new connector and it was good to go. Since there was some time left in the 2 hour service all, he replaced a door bell switch for us as well.

The most knowledgeable and efficient electrician in the area. Sonny came by my house and gave me an estimate on the same day I called. He showed up the next day on time then did a super clean and fast job on replacing all my breakers and circuit panel. I work for a general contractor so I see electrical work done on the daily basis. Sonny is among the best. I can't be happier. We will call him back for future work. Thank you.

My first time calling for an Electrician. I called a few other Electricians before Sonny picked up and said he's available to be at my house within 2 hours. It's on.

Sonny and Matt showed up within the estimated 2 hours. Awesome! I had an intermittent issue in a section of my house that the power would go out. I explained some history of using a space heater there and how the breaker tripped before.

Sonny and Matt went to work and quickly identified the cooked wire in the circuit breaker closet. I was extremely happy they were able to hit the nail on the head. They quickly changed the cables and my house was back in good order.

Thanks!

Highly recommend Sonny! We talked through the phone and his comments about my concern really helped me to make my decision and might save me some of unnecessary spending.  Thank you Sonny!

Sonny was a wonderful electrician. He came on time on the appointment and did all the electrical repairs so fast. My house is old with old wiring and he did good job on addressing the issues with reasonable price. He was knowledgeable and help me to understand the electrical system on the house. I will hire him again if I have electrical issue again.

A contractor who knows his stuff. I called Sonny on a Saturday and promptly returned my call. I wanted to wait until the workweek began again on Monday, so I decided to wait to return his call. I phoned him during my recess (I'm a teacher so it's either make these calls during recess or lunch) and Sonny picked right up. I described the issue and Sonny outlined a couple scenarios and gave a quick quote. He was busy during the day (which was OK with me being that I was teaching), so I asked him if he could come at 4:30PM that same day. No problem. Sonny showed up with a smile, clean professional truck and a firm handshake. Showed him the issue and he went to work. Within 15 minutes he diagnosed the problem and addressed it and was on his way again. Before he left he pointed out some issues that we should address at a future time. Sonny is a quality electrician.

Whoohoo! As good as it gets!
Called Sonny on Friday Memorial Day weekend after the power in my bedroom shorted out.
He arrived on time and completed the work in about an hour. He explained what he was doing and even showed me the burnt wires. Price was very reasonable considering the work he did and that it was on a holiday weekend. Very friendly and funny couldn't ask for more. Definitely recommend SJ Rios Electric.

Stellar. Sonny is professional, prompt, courteous, direct, and dependable. He did a fantastic job wiring up an outdoor outlet on my rental, a place that the owner cares a lot about, and did it before Christmas so I could string up lights for my kids.
He was quick, efficient, and left the jobsite clean. All for a fair price.
Can't recommend him enough!

Sonny has completed old fixture removal and new fixture installation for me, including fans and chandeliers.  He's easy to contact, professional, and does great work.  Sonny is also super knowledgable and his pricing is competitive and fair.  I'm very happy with the work done thus far and would definitely work with him again on my next projects.

I needed some electrical repairs done on my condo and called Rios Electric yesterday.  Sonny came out first thing this morning and had everything repaired/replaced in no time.  He had all the equipment needed (unlike another electrician awhile back), cleaned up behind himself, and gave me a fair price.  I plan to use Sonny in the future and highly recommend Rios Electric.

5 STARS ALL THE WAY!

SJ Rios Electric really helped us out of a tough spot. Our 50 year old house had no cabling to connect to the service. I called SJ Rios to explain our situation and see if we could get coaxial cabling run from out side our house to the family room through the crawl space under the house. After a few questions about our home setup we got a rough estimate over the phone and were able to get slotted in between appointments that day. Great communication (he actually picked up his phone instead of going straight to voice message like the other services I called) and really helped us get connected so we didn't have to reschedule out service install for another 1-2 weeks out. Would definitely recommend for wiring and electrical service.

AVOID Sonny and SJ Rios Electric at ALL COSTS! I was quoted $170 for him to come to my residence and diagnose my problem with my kitchen and hall way lights. Unfortunately, I was called into the office, so I had my wife stay home to let Sonny and his crew in. I get a call from Sonny telling me how old my house is and how bad the electrical wiring is in the entire house, blah blah blah, and how they don't have time to address the hall way lights, but they will make sure that I have sufficient lighting in the kitchen in order for me to prepare my Thanksgiving dinner for my family who will be staying with us. The final phone call I get from Sonny before he leaves my residence is Al...we had to leave your microwave unplugged and we are only able to get 2 of your kitchen lights to work. The other 2 are shorted out. This is the best we can do. We will need to come back after the holidays to repair all your outdated wires.

No problem. I pay over the phone via credit card as he asks for $212.50. I didn't want to argue with him at that time as I was dealing with clients, so I just paid the $212.50.

Now we get to the good stuff. I get home, turn on the kitchen lights, and only 1 light turns on. Didn't Sonny just tell me that 2 lights would be working out of the 4? Also, he informed my wife that he left the microwave unplugged, however, if we needed to use it, all we had to do is plug it back in. I plugged the microwave in, and the microwave was non-functional. This is when I started doubting Sonny's work.

I then pulled the 1 working light's bulb out, and screwed it into the 3 other lights that were not working. Guess what? All 4 lights turned on, one by one! I then drove to Lowes and purchased 4 new bulbs, installed them, and all 4 lights work, which leads me to believe that Sonny did absolutely nothing to rewire anything or repair anything.

His words to me were that only 2 lights would be working, and that the other 2 he disconnected, as there was a short somewhere. How could he have disconnected those other 2 lights, if all I did was install new bulbs and they start working?

Sonny had no answer for that. All he could say over the phone was well, I don't know....there could have been dust...electricity does some weird things....

This answer did not sit well with me. I am not questioning the time he spent at my home. I am questioning the work that he supposedly did, which was pretty much absolutely nothing! I never authorized $212.50 worth of work. I authorized $170 over the phone.

Bottom line is STAY AWAY FROM SONNY and SJ RIOS ELECTRIC unless you want to get scammed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was looking to do a whole house rewire so I looked on yelp to find an electrician and found Sonny at SJ Rios. He came out and gave me a free estimate. His price was very fair. He discussed with me what exactly he was going to do. The house is about 80 years old and it didn't have an outlet in the bathroom and only one in each bedroom so he explained how he could install one more in each room. The kitchen also had a switch to turn the dishwasher on and off so he removed that and made me another outlet by the sink. He finished the job right on schedule as promised. I am so happy I went with Sonny at SJ Rios and I will recommend him to anyone I know. He was very professional and he cleaned up any mess when he was done. In fact I have a couple of rental houses and I'm going to call him back to take a look at some issues with the electrical at those houses too. This company deserves its 5 stars. Thanks Sonny

We recently had some electric work done in our kitchen and bedrooms. Sonny did a great job and on time. He is totally trustworthy and quoted a reasonable price as well.
We are very happy with his work and will call him again for any electric issues.

Sonny showed up right on time and did a great job for a good price. I had a problem with my ceiling fan, and he diagnosed the problem right away and quickly replaced the relay for the remote. I would definitely use Sonny in the future.

Very impressed with Sonny's fast response and thoroughness. We had removed an outside light post but had no idea where the wiring was connected. Sonny called back about an hour after we left a message, even though it was Sunday. He came out the next day and spent a lot of time and effort tracking down where the underground wiring was coming from. He didn't give up until he found it and confirmed it was disconnected.

I have found an electrician I will not hesitate to use again.  Based on his excellent yelp reviews, I called Sonny this morning to come and rewire part of our kitchen in prep for installing a new gas range.  He came the same day and quickly assessed what needed to be done and then completed the work it great fashion.  The job turned out to be a little more complex than I described on the phone, it didn't phase him at all.  Great electrician you can trust with any job.

Searching an electrician on yelp to help with some lighting issues with a recently purchased condo, I discovered Sonny who I found to be the most reasonably priced and quite accessible compared to several others listed in the same search. He promptly came over as scheduled and began working on the issue...and also ended up helping with a thermostat wiring issue...at no additional charge! Kudos to you Sonny! You've earned a new loyal customer!

Though I use Yelp frequently to assist me whether its for business or pleasure, I don't write reviews. But I have decided it would be a disservice to the businesses and patrons out there that rely on Yelp. So, here is my first review.  On Friday, I called SJ Rios Electric and left a message. Sonny called me within 30 minutes. He said he can meet me the following day on Saturday at 10:30am because he had another job within that area. He arrived at 10:25am. The job consist of adding 2 more security lights and rerouting the electrical line from 2 business signs to the main line of the shopping center. Sonny quoted me 5 hours for the job. He arrived Monday at 8am and completed the job a little after 1pm. He also took care of some minor items, an exposed electrical conduit, secured a loose conduit with braces at no charge. I have been managing properties for over 25 years and have had my share of flaky contractors. The experience with Sonny was 5 stars based on his work and his professionalism.
