Value Electrical Construction

Electricians are too expensive? Not Value Electrical!  His quote was less that the others I tapped and when the job turned out to be way easier than originally thought, Val Dimitrov knocked off a 1/3rd.

He arrived exactly when promised.  Soft spoken and efficient.  Methodical.  An expert.  Just what you've hoped for.

His contact info is tacked up on my wall for easy reference, next to a flashlight in case the lights are out when I need him!  Do yourself a favor.  Call VEC.

My husband and I purchased a chandelier from a lighting store, and the shop owner recommended Val as an electrician to install it. Val picked up our fixture from the shop and brought it to our house. He was very efficient, professional, and patient, handling unexpected issues along the way with the ease of an expert. After he finished installing our fixture, he noticed our recessed lighting was cool-toned and asked if we liked that. He showed us a switch on the light that changes the color temperature, which we didn't know about. It was so easy, and we changed the settings on the rest of the lights in our living areas that night to a warmer tone, making the ambiance more cozy and inviting.

Val and his team at Value Electrical Construction are wonderful!  They installed the electrical work for my HVAC system.  Additionally they installed some outdoor outlets as well.  The work was fantastic and reasonably priced.  Val communicates well and is all around a wonderful person.  If you need electrical work you cannot go wrong with Value Electrical Construction!

Val and his team are fantastic--I will hire them again for my electric needs in a heartbeat.  It is not often that I write Yelp reviews but he was just so excellent in every way.  I wish there were more companies like this out there!  Val was recommended to me to do some electric prep for a HVAC system and he also upgraded several electric issues in my old house.  Something weird happened because the electric system was so old and it took much longer than he thought, but Val made sure it was fixed and safe before going into the weekend.  He would not give up and got it all fixed.   He is an excellent communicator--letting me know what was going on with each step.  
He is kind, honest and trustworthy.  You can't find a better electrician in the Bay Area.

Val and his crew did an excellent job. They were recommended to us by the team that installed our HVAC system. Val and his crew ran 220V out to our backyard and installed a 14-50 plug for our electric car. They were punctual, did high quality work, and did an excellent job communicating. The whole crew wore masks, which made us feel extra safe during COVID.

We'll be calling Val again for future electrical work.

Val is fantastic! We have an old home with ancient electrical we are looking to upgrade. Val was extremely thorough, patient with explanations, and provided excellent guidance. Val provided a detailed quote and kindly made adjustments and additions to reflect exactly what we wanted. We had to hit pause on our electrical upgrade due to other home issues, but we look forward to working with Val in the coming months. We appreciate his attention to detail, explanations and deep knowledge.

Val was recommended by our real estate agent. She knows the pros. We needed to install motion detected external lighting in the front and rear of our two unit condo building and it was somewhat complex. He spent a good amount of time assessing our plans and made very smart recommendations. His estimate was accurate and fair. He and his team were very professional, prompt and skilled. A couple of installations took more time than was planned but we were not charged for the extra time. He also provided advice on a couple of interior lighting issues. Have lived in SF for 30+ years and have NEVER found a contractor who was so professional. He is VERY busy and in demand so be patient and it might take a little time for him to respond, but the wait is worth it. Thank you very much Val!

Needed help with replacing a 2 prong outlet with a 3 prong outlet and Val was nice enough to come the same day and give me a very reasonable price for calling out an electrician ($120). Very nice guy and appreciated the help. Will definitely be calling him again if I ever need any work done!

Val was great to work with, did a nice clean install of a Tesla wall charger. I won't use anyone else as an electrician. Highly recommend.

Came out and did the work promptly. Was recommended by my A/C contractor and it was a great recommendation. Would totally use him again! Val was great.

We hired Val to upgrade the electrical in our 1917 house, after we noticed singe marks on a few of our outlets. He has been amazing! Every step of the way he has made us feel supported and shown a great attention to detail.

Pros

1. He and his team are always on time
2. His work is great and thoughtfully executed
3. He follows up on the work before we need to mention anything
4. He takes time to thoroughly walk through the progress
5. He laid down plastic to protect our floors!
6. He was honest about the work needed
7. He listens and is flexible if something needs to be fixed
8. He can recommend skilled help in other work you may need help with.

Cons

Nothing so far

We would always recommend Val for your electrical needs.

We had another electrician come scare us and tell us our house needed to be fully re-wired because it was dangerous. Val came and was honest and told us exactly what we needed to do which saved us tens of thousands of dollars. Val proceeded to install an electric charger, fix some items in our house, and all at the best price quoted to us. He even told us items we did not need to do (such as upgrading total amps) to save money which speaks to his character and integrity. Highly recommend Val and his team if you want fair, honest and timely service. Thank you Val!

Val is honest and reliable . Would recommend him  to anyone .   He called me to let me know he'd be fifteen minutes late . Very courteous .

Val (the owner) come over on short notice and installed an exterior light on the 2nd store of our home. Great professional attitude: humble, polite, and thorough. The wiring had been installed by someone else several years earlier.  He verified that it was hot, that the switch worked, and most importantly, that I was satisfied with the installation. And yes, the price was reasonable.  

Yes I would hire him again!

Val was great.  Professional, friendly, efficient, and identified the problem with our track light, dimmer and switch in five minutes.  Quick turnaround on having him come through same day, and price was fair.  Highly recommend!

Really professionals! Price at proposal was two times lower, that another companies send me. Fast and careful work! No issues! Very very recommend!!!

Val at value electrical construction inc is an honest and trustworthy man to deal with. He gave me the best quote of anyone on yelp and came to fix a couple of electrical problems at our rental unit. He fixed three issues in about an hour and charged us a fair rate. I will be using his services in the future and highly recommend him to anyone .

Val Dimitrov of Value Electrical Construction did a fantastic job with a complex electrical job. I added 2 rooms and a bathroom in a San Francisco home, and it is very difficult to go through the mundane bureaucratic San Francisco city process of electrical permits and approval throughout the process from start to finish, which requires multiple approvals through the entire process. Val was thorough in the work performed by him and his team and from the initial city approvals, opening of the walls and the completion of the project that was approved by the city of San Francisco with all permits. Great Job Val!

Contacted Val for some work- which I had a hard time explaining what the problem was- he was very patient and took the time to explain what was wrong, what caused the problem and what the repair involved.

He called me to check if he could come early and was 100% professional.  I would have to say that he has been the easiest to to work with Electrician that I have dealt with in San Francisco- and we have had to deal with quite a few.

We are going to use him for additional work and in house.

VAL and his guys are great. I had a total rewire for my house. New box and all new outlet and switches. It difficult to get them back for fixes and inspection. They did a great job and will use them again. If you need a electrician I would recommend them.

I had an electrical short in my unit that was affecting my downstairs shower fan and light. Annoying but not life threatening. One electrician stopped by and spent 3 hours trying to find it, couldn't, and ended up charging me $420. Val came over, found the problem, replaced a broken GFCI outlet and was out the door in 40 minutes, for $135. You bet I'll be calling Val again.

We got off to a rocky start but it ended up being great.  We had called Val last week and asked him to come out to put up a fan and switch a couple switches.  He stated he could come Thursday and get it all done but after he didn't show up Thursday morning or at 11 when he said he would be here, we called.  He did call us back around 2 and said he had our number down wrong and apologized and said he would be here at 4 30.  He did show up around 5 30, so at least he showed but he didn't come to do the work, so I was a little worried, as we had waited for him all day with nothing to show.

He stated he would be back Friday morning with one of his guys and they would get it all done.  He was supposed to come at 8 but didn't show until 9 but, again, he seemed competent and all of the amazing reviews kept me going.

Once he came in, his guy and him were very pleasant and so professional.  They asked all of the questions they needed to and didn't do work with out my approval.  He gave us a quote that he actually stuck to.  I am a bit of a neat freak and they put plastic up everywhere and kept the mess to a small area, no dents or paint scratches... You wouldn't know they were here if they hadn't left cut holes from the wiring (but we knew these were going to be there, since Val let us know about a guy who could come patch for us)... They did minimal amount of cuts and left no mess on the floor or surrounding furniture.

I will use these guys for work in the future.  Val and his guy (I apologize for not knowing his name) were absolutely sweet and so professional.  The work looks solid and I am excited that this was done relatively inexpensively but done well.

Thanks, Val!

Up one star for actually showing up to our third appointment (albeit an hour late) and up another star for appearing to be a really nice & knowledgable guy when I got to meet him, but down a star again for being a week late (and still waiting) in sending me a quote for the work we discussed and (still) not responding to e-mail.

I don't want to be harsh and I really did like his friendly demeanor and willingness to spend time with me going through my project and giving advice on it, but reliability and being able to move forward in a reasonably timely manner is very important too.

Value Electric (Val) is the BEST!  If you are looking for an honest, always-there-when-you-need-him, trustworthy, respectful electrician then call Val.  Not only have I used him on numerious occassions, friends, family members, and clients have also had the pleasure of working with him.  I have been using/referring Val for the past 4+ years and not one person has ever had anything negative to say about him or his team!
Being a real estate agent, having the best people on my referral list is expected.  I know, without a doubt, that when one of my clients ask me for a electrician referral I can, without hesitation, give them Vals number and know that not only will he make my client happy, but he will make me look good.
Val, thank you for being the exception!  You make my life much easier.
Cheers to many, many, many more referrals.
All the best!  Gary Snow, Paragon Real Estate Group

Value Electrical installed a huge lighting fixture on my 20' ceilings. They had all of the right equipment and brought enough people to get the job done. They were incredibly helpful, polite, and communicative. They were even happy to do a few other jobs around my apartment. They had extremely reasonable prices - much better than other quotes I got. I would absolutely hire them again for a big or small job!

Val was fantastic. My decorator brought him in. He went all through my townhouse and recommended what I should do. He was absolutely right. We made a few modifications but all and all it was just what was needed. I never dreamt I could get a lighting designer in an electrician. The work was excellent and they cleaned up professionally. Yes, Val shows up late but does show up. Like many contractors he must be juggling many jobs. He did call and keep me posted. If you use him, just plan on it. His bids and add ons were priced very fairly.

I have nothing but great things to say about Val.  From our first interaction to the finished product he has been a professional in every sense of the word. He listened carefully, provided ideas and suggestions on how to improve what I was requesting, his team executed exactly what we had discussed and the quote for the work performed was very fair.  I will definitely use him again!

I had a power outage at my house which was kind of scary. A cable had melted up against my circuit box and sparks were flying every time we tried to move it. We called Val who was out there in a few hours. He diagnosed that we had uneven power coming from the pole to our house - 200v on one and 40 on the other. He advised us to call PG & E ASAP and tell them the problem. Within a few more hours, PG & E had come and repaired the line.

To recap, Val made time in his day, drove to Brisbane, diagnosed the problem, told us how to get it fixed and told us to contact him later about upgrading the electrical panel in our house. He left his card and didn't charge us for the visit. His card is posted on our refrigerator and he will be the first guy I call next time I need or want electrical work done.

I decided to put my fate in the hands of past yelpers and trust that the 5 star rating meant absolute excellence. They were right, Val is fantastic!!! He was prompt, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He installed a new chandelier, 2 circuit breakers, and some other odds and ends. When I got the bill I was shocked by the low price. It was one of those, did you forget a zero? moments. I ended up throwing in a tip. Honestly, when was the last time you tipped your electrician because you thought they under-charged you? I would definitely hire Val again and recommend him to all of my friends and family.

I needed to have an electric panel replaced in my home. I contacted Val. It took a little time for him to get back to me, but eventually we got everything sorted out. Initially he suggested I contact PG&E in case it was something on their end. PG&E discovered that the panel had a lot of corrosion and the meter was overloading. Val came over and was very nice and straight forward about everything that needed to be done. He gave me a really good quote. He sent Tony and another young man to do the work. Tony was very friendly and explained everything that needed to be done even after Val explained it to me. I didn't mind. It showed to me that they were honest. Even when something unexpected came up he was very honest about what needed to be done. The work was completed in one day. Overall, I am very pleased with the work and especially the communication from Tony and Val. I would highly recommend these guys. Top notch all the way!!

I've been using Value Electric for several years now and decided it was time to write a review. I LOVE these guys. They are always super polite and courteous and they always get the in done. I mostly have small to medium jobs and they are always responsive. Val is great at making suggestions. I had 10 recessed lights I was thinking of replacing in the kitchen. Val suggested one and installed it and suggested that I live with it a few days and then decide, which made the decision so much easier. I have a big remodel coming up next year and will definitely use Value as my electricians.

It's true as other people say! Val is really nice and helpful person! We asked for a free estimate for the light in the kitchen. I expected that he wouldn't do much becuase it was free, but he did a thorough eximination and found it was the light bulb's problem. He could have just told us it wasn't an electrical problem and left us with a question we needed to figure out ourselves. Moreover, because our disposer was broken too and we didn't know the reason, we asked if he could check it too. He agreed and helped us find out it was the machine itself not working, when his parking time had only 1 min left. He helped us to the last minute and risked being fined up to 60 dollars or more, even when he knew the service could gain him nothing more than reputation. If a free service can have such quality, I'm sure the charge services will be as reliable as one can imagine. Thank you Val!

Val has been our exclusive go to guy for electric (and occasionally plumbing) at my place of employment and he's tops! Knowledgeable, efficient, timely and affordable. Just met with him today on a quote for one of two apt. buildings I manage. Just the nicest guy!!!

We recently bought a new chandelier and it was recommended to get a professional electrician to install it so of course I went to Yelp to find a good one and I'm glad I went with Val.  He was super friendly and while he showed up a bit later than I had expected, he was very efficient in installing our chandelier along with a dimmer (which he suggested) and it turned out great.  I would definitely use Val again and recommend him to anyone looking to get some electrical work done.

Val has been our go to electrician for the last few years. Over the years he has installed ceiling fans (in our 15 foot ceilings no less), installed new fixtures, converted my plugs to 4 prong, etc. I think he has touched every single fixture in our house. Everytime he works with us, he is on time, responsive to my concerns, and is so calm and collected even when I am a panicked mess (we recently had a really tight timeline and he dealt with it easily). I can't recommend him enough!

Val is amazing.  Incredibly reasonable rates, personable, CLEAN, efficient and thoughtful!

I wouldn't hesitate to hire Val again!

Look no further than Val!  I solicited bids from three top Yelp rated electricians.  Val was the ONLY one I would even consider for several reasons.  First, he returned my call within an hour (one of the other electricians returned my call after ten days and several follow up phone calls later).  Second, he came to the bid prepared.  He had laser measuring devices, took thorough notes, drew pictures and talked through every detail with me to ensure he understood what I wanted (none of the other electricians did this- they simply eyed everything and took minimal notes).  Finally, his bid was $300 cheaper than the nearest competitor.  
The quality of his work was amazing.  He did exactly what I asked, he was extremely efficient and did an excellent job of cleaning up after.  We've already got another project lined up for him!  On top of all of this, Val and his assistant are two of the nicest guys I've ever met and it felt like having friends over for the day.

I recently used Value Electrical to install some track lighting.  Val came HIGHLY recommended by a real estate agent who uses him exclusively.  Val is very nice, provided me with a reasonable estimate, showed up on time and the lighting looks GREAT!  Val is smart, KNOWLEDGEABLE about lighting, easy to work with, and I definitely recommend him!

I needed a ceiling light fixture installed.  I went online and requested quotes on ServiceMaster.com.  Val called me within 2 minutes with a quote (cheaper than I expected).  Competing electricians took days to get back to me.

Val agreed to come early to work around my schedule.  He installed the fixture perfectly, kept to his quote and even cleaned up after mess that I made trying to do it myself.

Val is just great. I am going through remodeling of the condo and had many issues with the contractor...so when I unearthed another issue with my power; i decided to look for help on yelp. Val was quick to respond and able to squeeze in a time slot to look at my issue. He was on time, fast, professional according to my husband (since I have to be at work)...and with my husband's permission, we are giving him a 5 star! - And you should hear what my husband has to say abt the other contractor, so for him to say Val is worth 5 star..you gotta know it's true - Thanks Val !

He made an excellent Job, they are professional, honest and reliable. I do recommend this people

I have used Val for several electrical projects around my home and I have always found him knowledgeable,  neat and tidy, reasonably priced and on-time. He can handle small or big projects and has even checked electrical work done by past contractors and corrected errors that could have been dangerous. Plus he's a really nice guy!

Our general contractor brought in Val to do some rewiring for part of a larger remodeling project. While here, we mentioned to Val that there were several other electrical issues in our house. Admittedly, none of these were major problems, but they were definitely nuisances. You could tell that the previous owner's electrician had cut corners wherever possible.

Light switches were in inconvenient locations. Switches were on the wrong side of the wall; actually moving the one from the back of the wall to the front, and vice versa was exactly what we needed. And overall work just looked sloppy.

Val was happy to fix all of these problems, and charge a minimal amount of money. I wish we had known about him earlier. I should have had him come in years ago.

It was all little nitpicks, and it didn't even have anything to do with the bigger project that we had originally hired him for, but it just makes us feel so much happier in our house.

I will definitely hire him again for other projects.

I initially found this guy (Val) through servicemagic.com, which is actually a great way to find electricians too.  I found servicemagic on Yelp!, and the reviews were definitely accurate.  They're great, but Value Electrical deserves to be called out specially.

I needed someone to fix a bathroom light fixture that stopped working.  He came out within about 20 minutes, sized it up and noticed an outlet (nowhere near the light) had a breaker that popped out of it.  He reset it, didn't mock me and didn't charge anything.  He also fixed another ceiling fixture in the dining room and did it quickly and did not charge much at all.

I called him again to put in a light by the backdoor and ground a few outlets.  He came out, got the job done in a few hours and did a kick-arse job.  He's super nice and didn't charge much at all.  

I can not recommend this guy highly enough.  If you have any electrical work  at all you need done, do yourself a favor and call Val.

We had Val change out around 20 light fixtures as well as well as ground  quite a few outlets and add a switch for a garbage disposal, etc. I found Val to be skilled, flexible, honest, and easy to work with. The cost was less than what I expected and an excellent value. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Val and his team.

This guy is great. Friendly, on time, and knowledgeable. Really helped figure out a 3- way and 4-way switch mess and helped get it up and running in now time, I would call him again for any electrical needs.

I called Val on a Sunday morning (and he answered!!!) and he was very helpful.  I explained my problem and he said it was most likely a PG&E issue.  He was right!  Thanks Val!

Called me back like 5 days later. By that time another electrical contractor had already done the work.

I used Value Electrical for lighting design and installation in my new showroom. It's an old building so was a little tricky.  He did a great job!!  Friendly and knowledgable.  No issues with getting on the schedule or having calls returned.  From someone who is particular, I highly recommend Val.

I found Val on Yelp 2 years ago.We bought a house and needed to have recessed lighting put in in our living room and 4 bedrooms. He also ran CAT5 from the office to the basement and did a few other little things. Val and his team showed up on time and were finished on time (it was a 3 day project). He was also very helpful with making recommendations. A year and a half later I called him to have an electrical run to the gas fireplace insert. Showed up on time for an estimate, then came back with his team the following week and was done as promised. Last week he had my dental office wired with Cat5, VGA and speaker wires. Speaking of promptness and honesty, I met him at the office at 8.15am, showed him what needed to be done, left him the keys and left to go to my daughter's Xmas party. Val's prices are very reasonable and I would not even think twice about recommending him to anyone or using him again.
