I highly recommend Valencia Electric.  I like to support local businesses and women-owned businesses.  Natalie, who I believe owns Valencia Electric, gave me an initial estimate and stayed within the estimate through to job completion.  During both visits she arrived on time, was efficient at diagnosing the problem and fixing it (replaced ceiling fixture).  

She understood my predicament, being a small local business owner as well and the necessity to have working lights for us to open and conduct business.  So although she had a very busy schedule, she made time for me.  I appreciated her thoughtfulness in this instance.

Electrical work can be a bit scary. I usually try to do simple projects myself, but when it's not a switch or plug, I start getting nervous. Such was the case with a Sense energy monitor I began to install in my main panel last week. After doing some of the preliminary work, I realized that I was a bit out of my depth.

Based on Yelp reviews, I began to look for electricians in the area. Natalie's page stood out as having good reviews on the value of her work and communication. Both of which, especially the latter, is very important to me.

We scheduled for this morning. Natalie was on time and settled in, wrapping things up pretty quickly. She was friendly, familiar with the installation, and texted me to let me know the project was complete. We tested the sensor, which worked as expected.

I don't love spending money on electrical repairs, but I'm kind of excited to hire Natalie for a future project. Would definitely recommend.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Natalie. She is highly skilled, extremely professional and honest. She always sticks to the schedule and estimates. Natalie is the best professional contractor I have ever encountered.

Sent an email, never got a response.  I don't understand why a business person who, I assume, wants business cannot take the time to
Respond even if it's just to say they can't do the job.

It's hard to say enough good things about Natalie. Professional, fair, and highly skilled of course.

We've worked with her a few times now, usually when something complicated was involved. She is an artist in her craft, and always comes up with an elegant solution.

I cannot say enough good things about Natalie at Valencia Electric.  We exchanged emails about my project and she gave me a tentative email quote.  This was great as it gave me a ball park of what to expect price-wise.  I did shop around a bit and decided to go with her.  She wasn't the cheapest and she wasn't the most expensive bid I received.  I'm so glad I chose Valencia Electric to install a 20 amp circuit, switches, and wiring to my new bathroom exhaust/heater fan.  She was prompt, super polite, was COVID safe (she even wore booties over her shoes), meticulous in her work, and very, very clean.  All things I love in a contractor.  If you're looking for a great electrician, call Valencia Electric.  I will definitely be using her again.

We just had an EV charger installed in our garage by Valencia Electric. Natallie Valencia, the owner, did an excellent job for us. Her bid was reasonable, great attention to detail, very knowledgeable in all facets of electrical applications. Another thing that we feel is very important was she was ontime for the appointment for the bid and ontime the day of the job installation. We highly reccommend her for your electrical needs.

Natalie came quickly, and diagnosed and fixed my problem. Another electrician wanted to rewire the house (which had already been rewired) and charge $5k or more.  Natalie diagnosed the problem -- a bad switch -- and fixed it in no time. And for a lot less the $5K!  I am recommending her to all my friends.

Highly recommend! We were looking to install a hardwired LED vanity mirror and a light fixture in our bathroom. Natalie came in, ran wiring through the walls with surgical precision so the mirror and vanity light would operate independently as opposed to being powered by one switch. After having talked to multiple electricians who pushed for us to have one switch operate both fixtures, we absolutely made the right decision in going with Natalie who spent some time examining options and ultimately helped land the best solution.

Fair quote, impeccable work, excellent customer service and someone we will work with on future projects.

Natalie is a true professional! Respectful, clean, resourceful and a pleasure to work with. We have an old house with plaster walls and wanted to mount the tv on an exterior wall. The first person we called was flummoxed and gave us a bunch of reasons why it wouldn't work like we wanted. Luckily the box with our mounting bracket arrived from Amazon with a missing a part and we had a delay while waiting for it. Natalie arrived promptly, was unfazed by the job and even went to Home Depot to get yet another part which was missing. I would with her again in an instant. In fact, we have some other small electrical jobs around our house, and we are using Natalie.

Natalie did a good job of assessing the needs to improve my lighting.  She came with several options to choose from, showed me the differences and various prices, thus making it easy for me to make a decision.  I am enjoying the new lighting and I am so glad that I found Natalie on Yelp.

We woke up to our electricity off, and after an unsuccessful visit by PG&E, we contacted Valencia electric. Natalie responded immediately, gave us a very reasonable quote, and fixed our circuit breaker in the same day. She was professional, timely, and best of all, we have power!

I just got a plug-in electric car and needed a stand-alone charger installed next to my driveway. Natalie gave me a great price when I asked for an estimate, and even though I threw her a couple curveballs during the process, she stuck to that estimate.

She got all the permits the city required, and dealt with them for the inspection that was needed at the end. I didn't know about any of this but she did and took care of all of it.

Natalie was prompt and did the work quickly without sacrificing any care. I couldn't be any happier. I had estimates that were twice as high as what Natalie charged. But I don't think I could be any more pleased than I am. I would recommend Natalie and Valencia Electric for any job.

We needed an electrician to figure out why we couldn't get our tripolar dimmers to work. Natalie was able to troubleshoot the situation and installed new sconces and high wattage dimmer switches. She's fast, knowledgeable, and does excellent work for reasonable prices.

So professional, kind and amenable -- even with my 85-year-old mom bothering her :) Highly recommended.

Natalie replaced several outlets, found out the source of our weird outage, fixed a malfunctioning light feature and installed a new one in a bedroom. She's awesome!

I was so pleased with Natalie's work that I had her come back for a consultation on updating the lighting in the rest of the house - we proceeded, and as before, the results are wonderful.  

She is a consummate professional and in addition she fixed a couple of things that were problems unknown to me, but enhanced the safety as well as the aesthetics of the house.  

Thank you Natalie!!!

We will use Valencia Electric for the rest of our electrical needs from now on.  Natalie does amazing work and left us feeling so much safer about our 100 year-old home's quirky wiring/outlets.  We had several faulty interior outlets assessed and replaced along with all of our outdoor outlets.  Natalie also rerouted a dishwasher outlet, checked the panel and assessed our attic and crawlspace to make everything safe and bring it up to code.  She helped us problem-solve and she was super efficient, considerate, very fairly priced, clean and COVID-safe.  Not only that, Natalie is extremely knowledgable about her trade and is a very chill and kind person to work with.  She also pointed out an obvious problem with our HVAC unit, which isn't even her job, so we could have that addressed.  Above and beyond. We highly recommend Valencia Electric to anyone in need of electrical work in the Bay Area or the Chico area!

Natalie is awesome: professional, knowledgeable, communicative and fair. We had Natalie change our old panel (a big fire hazard) back in December 2019/January 2020. Natalie came over several times to set things up and did a fantastic job communicating with me arrival times, delays with PG&E, power shut off, inspection schedule, etc...  All the while, billing was transparent and gradual, and my questions were promptly fielded.

Another quality of Natalie's work is tidiness.  Natalie made sure there was no mess left around and patched the wall after removing and disposing of the old panel.

So pleased were we that we called on Natalie again to properly ground our garage last month.  After inspecting the situation (with proper distancing and protection--welcome to the age of COVID), Natalie offered a solution and a couple of backup options.  Finally, since the first simple solution worked, Natalie reduced the bill significantly.

From now on, for any electrical work, we know who to turn to!

Natalie is friendly, transparent, professional and knows her stuff. She helped us troubleshoot and fix some faulty light fixtures that two other electricians hadn't been able to correctly repair.  

Highly recommend and would absolutely hire her again!!

As good as it gets, indeed! First house and in two years I've tried countless handy-persons and electricians with a variety of jobs. I always dread the search, because inevitably the person that comes out does not so stellar work. Well, no longer will I need to dread calling an electrician!!

*  Natalie rocked our wold when she transformed our ten canister lights to beautiful LED lights that'll last 20 years: they look awesome and up to date now.

*  She exchanged several of our standard outlets for those that now include USB ports -- WOOT! Ease of use increased drastically around here.

*  We had a plug that had no power to it..like literally, it was a dummy plug: nothing had ever been run to it! She rocked that out and now it is functional and fantastic.

*  A bedroom had a single plug so she ran an entire new line and added a plug in there for us across the room: so thankful to have it there.

*  We had two people fix a fixture only to have it not work within a week so we talked about it, looked it over, and instead she put in a new fixture that I like so much more: the Edison bulb is perfect for our CA bungalow.

*  We were having issues with our internet speed so she troubleshot that with our provider directly, and we all three came up with a plan which she executed perfectly -- no more slow speeds and I took her suggestion to get a signal extender for the back porch, providing us with lovely afternoons online and in the sun all at once :)

At this point, I am almost TRYING to find electrical needs just so I can get a second taste of contractor after-glow. It's a first for me, and I'm thankful to her for renewing my faith in not only electricians, but home maintenance support at large!

We will hire her again and refer her to everyone we know. She not only mounted our TVs but also a cabinet on the wall to hold all of the equipment. We are renters so can't do in-wall wire hiding, no problem, she brought the exact equipment we needed to hide the wires between the TV and the cabinet, and the cabinet to the outlets. It looks FANTASTIC.

She's also friendly, smart and considerate (she covered her boots everytime she came into the apartment). I watched as she measured everything at least twice before making a move, and she doubled up the hardware for the cabinet to make sure it was extremely sturdy. We are more than extremely happy with the job she did!

We had a not so straight-forward light installation.  We initially hired a supposed highly-rated diamond certified company for the job.  The end result was appalling.  It didn't even begin to resemble what we asked for and what was agreed upon.  We were left with unsightly wiring and a light fixture dangling in an unstable fashion from the ceiling.  When we asked them to fix it and do what was agreed upon, we got these elaborate excuses for why it would be too difficult and cost prohibitive.  Needless to say, we felt totally scammed.  We couldn't leave the fixture in that state, so we carefully started looking again for an honest and competent electrician.

Enter Natalie and Valencia Electric.  What a breath of fresh air in a sea of predatory contractors!  Natalie came over to provide an estimate and described exactly how she would tackle the job.  Without telling her how we wanted the light and wiring to be installed, she suggested exactly what we had envisioned, and added some very creative and thoughtful improvements.  Her efforts were Herculean and the end result is beautiful!  I still smile every time I look at the fixture.  Natalie has renewed our faith in humanity (and contractors)!

Natalie is so professional and talented, but equally importantly she is very kind and incredibly honest.  We will never use anyone else.

I know - another 5-star review for Valencia Electric - is this for real?  Yes, it's for real!  Natalie is as good as it gets!

I hired Natalie for what initially started as a small project but morphed into a large one. Natalie did the following:
- swapped out can lights in my dining room, entryway and hallway
- replaced the dining room light w a fixture
- replaced my entryway light w a pendant
- replaced my hallway light w a recessed light
- installed bar pendants
- installed recessed lighting in my kitchen (and removed the existing track lighting).  

Less glamorous, but greatly appreciated, she also updated:
- all my outlets and light switches w new plates/covers
- installed a timer on my outside light
- installed a programmable wall thermostat for my baseboard heater which was originally controlled by an on-unit dial with no temperature settings.

Service:
Natalie was extremely patient and obliging when I kept adding things to the list of items I wanted updated.  She never once hesitated to come out to give me updated estimates, all at my convenience on the weekends.

She was punctual and extremely polite.  She is quick to respond to emails and address any questions you may have.  Since I have extremely limited experience doing electrical upgrades and repairs, her responsiveness and transparency made my experience really awesome.  

One of the most amazing things about hiring Natalie is that she clearly takes pride in her work and her service.  

**My place was spotless everyday when I came home!!!**

I expected my place to be dusty and messy for a week.  I even told my housekeeper that she should plan on spending extra time on my place at the end of the week bc I was having work done.  

Work:
The work Natalie did was done with care, and she did a really quality job.  She conferred w me more than once to double check the length I wanted my pendants, the placement of the recessed lighting, and the job took just a little while longer bc she didn't like the recessed lights she originally thought would work.  For whatever reason, they buzzed and so she tried several different ones so I wouldn't have the buzzing.  

She managed to put fewer holes in my ceiling and walls than she initially planned bc she found alternate access options.  She clearly thought about what she was doing so as to make it a better experience for me, rather than just plowing forward with the simplest option.

Overall:
I can't recommend Valencia Electric enough!

Natalie was available quickly for a quote, was very professional and seems knowledgeable.  It was a larger job, which led to 2 negatives (minus 1-star for each):
1) She's an independent electrician with no team, so the job would have taken more time start to finish
2) Her quote, compared to 3 other similarly reviewed - 5-star - electrician firms was more than double (several thousand $$).  Obviously, people are welcome to charge what they want, but it may be worth getting a 2nd quote just in case.

Long overdue review for Natalie. She is amazing! She has done a couple projects at our place and is efficient, professional, reasonably priced, etc. She has converted 2 prong outlets to 3 prong, put in new outlets altogether, added lighting outside, and created dim lighting in our bedrooms. Highly recommend working with her for your electrical needs.

I had a great experience today with
the licensed electrician that i hired.
The company is Valencia Electric, Inc.
The owner, Natalie Valencia, was very honest, professional, prompt, friendly,
and neat.

Over the last several years, my kitchen and bedroom lights kept going out.
I thought i had serious electrical problems; but instead, I only needed to replace the fixtures-
Natalie offered to go get the fixtures or to have me pick them out at the local store.
I decided to pick out what i wanted.

Also, she replaced the motion detector light bulb that was broken by vandals last month.
I thought i would have to replace the entire motion detector; but, she saved me money by simply replacing the bulb.

If you need an honest, professional and prompt electrician please consider hiring (tell your friends, too)
Valencia Electric, Inc., of Berkeley 510-243-5198.

Valencia Electric, Inc. did a great job and addressed all the concerns I had.
I am relieved and pleased with the results.

You can't go wrong by hiring
Valencia Electric, Inc.
I told my El Cerrito neighbors and my Berkeley friends to hire Valencia Electric for all their electrical needs.

I found Natalie off Amazon local deals for a buddy's restaurant (which has since folded) whose outlets were constantly on the fritz- seriously the lights and registers went on and off so often, the customers cracked jokes that we had a damned poltergeist in the fuse box. As my friend and I are so technically inept we can barely manage to change the damned ringtone on our smartphones, we got her over and long rambling story short: not only was Natalie prompt and professional, she was patient; and for us that makes all the difference.

I'm not going to pretend I understood what went wrong, what she did to make it right, but I appreciate the courtesy she showed us, taking the time to carefully and clearly explain to obvious technophobes how even if we understood nothing else, that the problem was fixed, and Natalie's card has a place of honor in my rolodex (yes I have a rolodex with the cracked plastic and the grease-printed index card, and no I don't know or care how to use google contacts).

I'll be using Natalie for all my personal and future commercial electrical needs- and if you're also needing the gremlins screwing with your lighting excised- you KNOW who you gonna call!?

Great experience having my pottery kiln wired with Valencia Electric! Natalie was responsive, professional, and did a very tidy job. She came out to give me a quote right away when other electricians spent lots of time on the phone asking me questions that they could answer much more easily with a quick visit. When the estimate looked out of my range, Natalie explained that the specialty cable for the kiln was very pricey (and I needed 70' of it) but she helped me find a cheaper source, as well as giving me the appropriate specs so I could look for it second hand online since I was really trying to cut costs. Another electrician told me I had to source the cable entirely myself, and he couldn't even tell me what I needed; it was practically impossible to know what to look for.

The cherry on top:  Natalie got the job done faster than anticipated, and in the pouring rain. Thank you Natalie! I'll certainly be coming back next time I need an electrician.

I absolutely recommend Valencia electric and Natalie's work. She installed an outdoor 110 outlet in my front yard and it works perfectly. She was honest, efficient, and timely. We communicated over email, on the phone,  by text, and in person. She made the whole process easy and transparent. She blew other electricians I talked to out of the water because she really knows her stuff. I can now use an electric mower, power tools, and charge my electric car if I want to. She was available within the week. Where other electricians never showed up, she got the job done ahead of schedule. The only confusion was over timing of the final install because she came sooner than expected. But who doesn't want their job done sooner? I will be calling on Valencia electric in the future for sure!

As a small business owner, I do believe there is a right way and wrong way to run a business. After a lousy encounter with the first local electrician we found, we thankfully discovered Valencia Electric. Natalie is extremely professional, a great communicator and an absolute pleasure to work with. She reconfigured our internet, hooked up 5 ethernet connections and 2 wifi hotspots using existing wiring in our house. She provided a quick, thorough estimate and left us with a digital invoice upon completion of the work, which was done very carefully and efficiently. Highly recommended!!!

Natalie has done a few jobs at our house. Running electrical for our outdoor lighting (for our wedding). Has replaced unsafe sparking wall plugs, put in wall lights, fans & a full interior/ exterior security camera system. She responds to phone calls, shows up for work on time & cleans up when she's done working!  We've had a lot of workers come in & out of our old outdated home (that we are SLOWLY remodeling)& she is by far the best.

What a wonderful surprise it was to have Natalie from Valencia Electric come and convert our pull strings to toggle switches.  Natalie consulted with us about the options, provided an estimate and delivered with incredible service.  She was on time, professional, creative and totally neat.  
It is great doing business with a woman owned business.  
Yes, if we need additional electric services, we will call Valencia Electric.

I needed a soundbar installed on my TV which is mounted on the wall over the Fireplace. I emailed Natalie and she gave me a quote for the service. She was very punctual, professional and fair. She actually charged me less than she quoted as she did not to have to uninstall the TV. I was very pleased with the service.

I recently purchased an old...old...old house.  With it came a whole bunch of issues.  Natalie came out to provide her bid and was very honest with me about what needed to be done immediately and what could wait (as I was on a budget after the house purchase).  Not only will she be honest with you but she will do GREAT WORK!.  She was able to identify all the breakers and leave notes identifying what they turned on and off.  I put her to the test with my old house and nothing was too much for her to handle.  Can't say enough good things about Valencia Electric.

Natalie is a consummate professional and I always felt very comfortable with her, whether she was working on her own while I was at work (via a lockbox key) or while I was typing away on the keyboard in the front room.  Natalie even came in huge when the delivery men bringing my stove nearly electrocuted themselves when not plugging it in correctly.

I still have some items on my list to take care of once I get more cash...like the nob and tube wiring in the attic......and will 100% call Valencia Electric for the work.  I have now found MY electrician!  No need to look any further....Natalie is the best!!

The short review, Natalie from Valencia Electric is FANTASTIC. Would I recommend her? Absolutely! If you're looking for an electrician that's responsive, competent, incredibly hardworking, honest and fair, you've found her.

The long review, I first met Natalie when I needed to make sure my dishwasher connection was up to code and on its own circuit before my new dishwasher could be installed. My previous electrician told me that it wasn't. I contacted a handful of electricians and, lucky for me, Natalie was the first to respond. When Natalie arrived for the appointment, within a few minutes, she determined that the dishwasher was already on its own circuit and showed me. She didn't charge me for this visit and I asked her for some estimates for items on my to-do list for electrical work. Within a day, Natalie sent me the estimates via email.

On a side note, only AFTER the appointment with Natalie did I hear from one other electrician regarding the dishwasher and the rest never responded.

Fast forward a month later, I was getting attic insulation and needed to get rid of the knob and tube wiring that still existed for parts of my home. I also wanted to take care of some of the other troubling electrical items. I contacted Natalie and she was on it right away, responding to me promptly and making the appointment. She replaced all of my knob and tube wiring which was quite extensive, installed individual circuits for my washing machine and refrigerator, installed a new light fixture, and fixed the connection for my ceiling fan/light.

The previous electricians/owner had my furnace, washing machine, refrigerator, all lights, an outlet, the doorbell transformer and garage door ALL on the same circuit. Scary! Natalie straightened this all out.

Natalie was methodical, communicative, confident, and super diligent in her approach. I was amazed by her work ethic and even happier with the results of her work. I now have peace of mind about the electrical safety in my home and Natalie has definitely earned her place as my go-to electrician.

I needed to install a wink relay to control two sets of outdoor lights. There was a small complication as it meant modifying 3 different switches, two of which were we 3 ways that had  to be converted to simple on off switches. I called Williams electric which is very close to my house leaving a detailed explanation; no return call. Then I tried another highly rated company who said they could do it but kept putting off coming by. I finally found Valencia and Natalie listened to my explanation and said she was confident it would be no problem. She was courteous, efficient, inexpensive and fearless. I would call her back in a minute!

Natalie was 5-star! I had a pretty straightforward install of a EV charging unit, but placing it could have been a bit of a challenge. Not for Natalie. She was on time, and helped me find a safe and secure location for the unit. High quality work from an intelligent and motivated electrician. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic!  Natalie finished the installation today and we could not be happier.  We have an old house, with a tall mantle and plaster walls.  We needed a mount that could move in all directions, but it was not something I felt comfortable doing on my own.  I am so happy we found Valencia Electric.  Natalie first performed a consultation where she informed us of our options, then she worked with me in finding the right mount.  We got a new mount that she hadn't used before, but she figured out the best way to use it on our fragile walls and the end result is amazing.  

Natalie is professional, very reasonable price-wise, and extremely skilled.

Natalie seems like a nice person, friendly.  However, she seems to have some limitations.  One of my landscape lights was out, so I bought a coupon from Amazon Local for two hours of service from Valencia. Natalie came out, spent about half an hour looking at the fixture and presented me with an estimate for rewiring the fixture.  So I called my regular guy - Julian, the Electric Handyman - and he fixed it in fifteen minutes.  It was a loose wire and tripped ground switch.

After I posted the review above, Natalie did contact me to follow up and see if she could be helpful. The coupon was refunded, and Natalie let me know that she has bought some equipment that will help her trace wire activity better.  I was impressed by her willingness to hear feedback and make positive changes.  If I had another job, I might give her another chance.

Natalie took care of my list of several projects excellently including but not limited to, installing a digital remote control unit and wall switch for the ceiling fan, and moving power and cabling for an articulating wall mount TV to hide wiring and still allow the mount to snug up close to the wall.
She was efficient and professional, and a joy to work with. I have already recommended her to several friends, and she is the one I'll call whenever I need help again.

I've called Natalie Valencia on two separate occasions for jobs that I couldn't handle and I won't hesitate to call her in the future - regardless of the size of the job.  The most recent job was finding a short that caused all of the outlets in the office to not work.  She appreciated the need to get this repaired as soon as possible, and was willing to rearrange her schedule and come on a Saturday.  I couldn't ask for a more accommodating professional.  I have complete confidence in her knowledge and problem solving.  In addition to her professional approach to her work, she is a pleasure to work with.

We had a great experience with Valencia Electric.  We hired Valencia to remove one wall-mounted tv, and install another (with the cords hidden in the wall.  Because of a delayed tv delivery, we had to cancel our appointment on two occasions, and Valencia was extremely accommodating.  Natalie was prompt, efficient, friendly, and she did an exceptional job.

Valencia Electric is wonderful.

I hired Natalie to mount my TV and corner media shelf. I knew absolutely nothing about mounting TV's. Prior to the installation she emailed me recommendations for the mount and shelf that I needed to buy (there are SO many on Amazon).

She was efficient, on time, and knowledgeable AND she had the best price.

I would definitely hire again...

Natalie is fantastic. I originally hired her to mount my flat-screen TV - which she did seamlessly - along with hanging a large, super heavy mirror. She even hid the cords for the TV in the wall and was able to professionally route my cable to the other side of the room using a creative idea through the ceiling -- much more than I would have expected from a TV mounting specialist! Then I found out she's a pro electrician by trade, and quickly hired her on to do a lighting overhaul in my condo. She worked with me to make sure I understand how everything will look once installed, and sent me an estimate via email within a day. Her schedule is super flexible and accommodating, which is huge when you work normal office hours. She's professional, prompt and her work ethic is unmatched. If you need electrical work done in the Bay Area, go with Valencia Electric.

We were so pleased with Natalie's work on some other projects a couple of years ago we had her come back for a bigger job this time. Natalie did a great job of replacing lights with LEDs throughout the house, installing two ceiling fans and installing new ceiling lights in two rooms. She was professional, prompt and reasonably priced. She came to provide an estimate and gave us some very good ideas. She took care of getting all the materials and she did the work on time and on budget. We have some very high ceilings but these didn't stop her from doing a very nice job. I recommend her very highly.

Professional, efficient, friendly, I highly recommend Valencia Electric. I recently hired Natalie to assist with troubleshooting a GFCI outlet problem and she solved the issue quickly.  I plan to hire Valencia Electric in the future.

Natalie is awesome! I was super nervous about mounting a TV over our fireplace, but she did a beautiful job! She's very responsive, punctual, and helpful. She explained everything about what she was doing and found the cleanest way to install the TV. Thanks Natalie!

I highly recommend Natalie. Initially I hired her to hang new LED fixtures. She worked tirelessly to fix the flickering problem, which involved ordering several different parts to see what would eventually stop the flickering (caused by wanting a dimmer as well). Every time she came she was punctual, thorough, and a pleasure to have around.  I was so pleased I hired her back to do several other projects that I'd had put off and I'll us her again when the need arises. I'm so glad I found a reliable electrician. So many others have left the Bay area.

I hired Natalie today to replace some three way switches, outlets and an exterior switch. She was prompt, friendly and gave us her prices up front. She also gave me advice on other questions I had about wiring in the house. It's hard to find people who are knowledgeable, professional and have reasonable rates! She will be our go to electrician from here on out, I'd recommend her.

Natalie mounted a TV and sound bar in my living room today.  She did a fantastic job!  I am super happy with her work.  Not only is her work superb but she is extremely friendly and professional.  I will definitely be calling her for a TV I want mounted in my bedroom as well as a light fixture I want changed.

I am ALWAYS going to hire Natalie for any electrical needs from now on. She's thoroughly professional and easy to work with and her work is fantastic. We had her do 5 small projects in our home and everything was done on time; I felt like she helped us make a huge upgrade. Natalie brought another woman to help her out and both of them worked quickly through each project and kept all workspaces clean and tidy. When you meet someone honest, professional that provides fantastic results, you just don't look any further. I'm really happy to have found her. (We've been in our home for 5 years and have really only found 1 other service provider that we will call back.)

I requested a comprehensive quote, parts and work, for a given task. I received a paper saying : the job will be done for X dollars. It was not the cheapest quote, but it was the only quote that was not trying to leave room for charging me extra afterewards. I called to schedule, everything was done on time and professionally, and I wrote a check for the exact amount as agreed. This is the kind of contractor that is hard to find in the Bay area. Ms. Valencia did an extremely good job.
