SJO Electric

I just had a kitchen renovation completed and blew a GFI outlet and circuit breaker using my air fryer and dishwasher at the same time.   I contacted SJO Electric on the advice of a friend and I couldn't be happier!  Ben and Geoff came out the next day and diagnosed the problem.   I asked them to look at all the new electrical work and within minutes they identified several significant issues  (not the first problem I had with the contractor I hired to do the reno) and on my request provided a quote to correct the issues.  Ben and Jeff came out the next week and spent 4 hours correcting the problems (upgrading breakers, code compliance, adding GFI protection, and adding boxes) in my new kitchen.   They had to add a box to the exterior wall of my kitchen (since it was already finished) so they also installed a very nice exterior outlet.  They were punctual, friendly, courteous and cleaned up after the job, but most importantly competent, skilled and efficient.  

SJO Electric not only repaired the faulty work of another firm but gave me peace of mind that the work was done correctly.   I now feel safe in my home again!  

I cannot begin to express how satisfied I am with the work they performed at a reasonable price!  Everyone I dealt with,  Cassie, Lisa, Ben, Geoff and Ed was professional, friendly and competent.  They are also a local, Arvada based business.  I will be contacting SJO Electric for any future electrician needs and will highly recommend them to all of my friends.  Thank you SJO Electric!

So to update a previous review... After 7 yes 7 inspection violations, we are finding so many more mistakes as we finish the piss poor Job SJO did on our remodel.
$15,000 later we have so much more to fix. The worst part is, the mistakes are rearing themselves post drywall, requiring cutting into brand new walls to track a plethora of mistakes .

Like I mentioned before, look at more current reviews, this company is falling down hill fast, and the arrogance of the owner is astounding! Refusing to acknowledge any responsibility, slaps liens on your property and denies any assistance.

Save the headache ..... Hire anyone els.

I purchased a inflatable hot tub and was using an extension cord to plug it in, I know- BAD. I was referred to Ed at SJO electric from another happy customer. Ed came out, was on time and very professional.  I explained to him that I will put in a real hot tub one day when the budget allows. He said we can put in an outlet closer to the hot tub so it's safer now, and he'll install it so we can upgrade to the electricity needed for a real hot tub with out having to pay again. I appreciated that so much, most companies would look at it as an opportunity to charge you more money in the future. Thank you Ed and SJO!

It's the week before the Holidays and the electrical at my rental property goes out, affecting 2 of the units and their internet access.  I call SJO hoping they can get me out of this mess.  Their schedule was very busy, but they squeezed me in and were able to send out their super debugging team, find the electrical issue, and get us up and running.  However, they did not have the correct part for the breaker board with them to make this a permanent fix.  The scheduler let me know in 2 days, this same team was scheduled for a full day job, and IF they finished early enough, they would come out and complete my repair.  

Two days later, after 5pm, I'm thinking they weren't able to finish early enough to make it to my property.  At 5:30pm  - they show up and complete the fix to my breaker board!!  I know they had a long day, but they still came over to take care of me and my tenants.  That is such amazing Customer Service!  And great debugging - all the internet connectivity issues are gone - everything was resolved when SJO fixed our electrical.  

Everyone at SJO was incredibly helpful.  The scheduler really helped me get the earliest appointment.  The technicians were skilled, kind and so helpful.  Still can't get over them putting in that extra effort to take care of me - so amazing!!  Highly recommend this team.

Not. Good. Scheduled and confirmed an appointment their their front office. Received multiple email confirmations. On the day of the appointment - Ed completely no showed the appointment - no call or heads up whatsoever. I left work early and was already on site.  I called to see where he was 30 mins after scheduled appointment --  they said oh sorry we shifted his schedule today. Zero notice. Zero respect for other people's time.

**JV operation - very unreliable.

I called sjo electric early in the summer. The liar office person had told me that their main guy is the best in the business. So I'm like great!  when can I schedule. Instead what they do is to send 3 different guys. Who were slower and did not follow any of the list that we emailed him but I blame it on their expert guy because he did know all about it. Before they arrived to do the job I confirmed with their office about the appointment the woman I spoke to was extremely rude and condescending started yelling at me at me saying that they're doing the best they can! and they have a busy schedule.
All I was doing was calmly confirming. ????
I even said that at the end of the conversation just confirming and she still got snarky with me. lol
I would say their office help is extremely dysfunctional and I'm annoyed that they lied about who they were going to send to do the job. Not very trustworthy. Retire the office help.

Prompt efficient service. I would recommend them to anyone in need of electrical work. Very courteous employees! Always what you need and solutions to fit in a budget.

I hired SJO Electric through my general contractor. They were hired to do a significant amount of work at my home: installing new circuits, relocating receptacles and switches, and installing 86+ lighting fixtures. SJO has been pre-paid to perform all of this work.

Mid project I discovered that neither SJO nor my contractor pulled any of the required permits for this work. Both SJO and the contractor walked off the job when I questioned this.

To date, SJO is refusing to return to complete the job. I was left with electrical work that not only was not permitted, it was not even up to code! Additionally, they will not speak with me or refund me the $10,585 they were pre-paid for parts and labor to install my light fixtures, receptacles, switches, etc. I have detailed invoices and a signed statement from SJO accounting department to confirm this.

Ed has been a nightmare to deal with. I wouldn't hire Ed or SJO to change the batteries in a flashlight, much less to any actual electrical work in a house. The electrician I hired to finish the job was highly critical of the work performed by SJO.

We asked for recommendations from our neighborhood HOA website when we needed electrical work done and were told about SJO.  We have subsequently worked with Ed and his team to do extensive electrical work at our house on multiple occasions including installing a new electrical panel, new lights, switches, adding new circuits to add power to our garage and quite a bit more.  I have worked with so many contractors over the years and SJO is one of only two that I have NOT regretted hiring.  Ed has given us great advice on the work we needed done, including telling us the most cost effective ways to accomplish what we wanted to do. The team of electricians is friendly, careful in their work, always on time, performed the work properly in a timely manner and delivered what we wanted.  The price has always been reasonable and well in line with what competitors charge.  I feel very confident recommending SJO.  I cannot imagine what happened with others that caused them to be unhappy.  I guess this falls in the category of you can't please all of the people all of the time.  But they certainly have pleased my husband and me.  I will hire them every time I need more electrical work.

Worked with Ed many times over the past several years.  He has always been very upfront about costs and never quotes me for work that I don't need done.  I would highly recommend SJO.

They totally ripped me off.  Supposedly took 2 highly trained electricians 40 minutes to find 1 switch (in the fuse box!) That was to quote them, stuck in the on position.  They billed 250 bucks.  Save your money and go elsewhere

I have worked with Ed and his crews for several years and have been very pleased with their knowledge and professional work.
Some of the work provided was difficult and complicated but the crew handeled it seemingly without effort.
It is comforting and reassuring when an electrical inspector complements a company on the quality of work they provided!

We own a handyman/remodeling-lite company, and on many occasions we have brought in SJO Electric for part of a larger project, as well as referred then for many other smaller projects that we could not legally do. We have never heard a complaint from any of the dozens of clients we've referred to them or brought them in on, and many clients have thanked us for the recommendation. We give them two thumbs up and a hearty thanks!

I purchased a 65 year old, in really poor condition, home last year. It needed a lot of work to get it up to snuff. Ed Jueschke and his techs were a wealth of help, information, and quality work. My inspection stated a number of electric issues that I didn't understand. I had Ed review this for me and he put my mind at ease that the issues were really non issues on the whole. I did have his team do some work for me, moving and changing some electrical lines and plugs. They amazed me. The 2 men that came were too large to get into an attic eave and they pulled another tech out that was a much smaller fellow, so he could squeeze up there and run a line. All I can say is it was above and beyond. Couldn't be happier with this quality and ethical contractor. Highly recommend!!

I've been a real estate agent for more than a decade, in the top 1% of our market for many of those, and Ed is exceedingly more reliable and honest than the majority of electricians we've worked with, if not even of all trades. He is incredibly busy yet always answers the phone, text or email with questions and takes the time to explain his logic to our clients and other agents so everyone feels comfortable with the outcome. He has on several occasion told us repairs were not necessary or less expensive alternatives exist, which shows his integrity as a business person. He is on our trusted list for a reason, and we're thankful for his knowledge and genuine care for safety and doing work the right way without short cuts.

I've been working with Ed and the folks at SJO Electrical for nearly ten years. Their electricians are well-trained, friendly and knowledge. Whenever an issue has come up, they have always been quick to resolve it, and their pricing has always been fair. I highly recommend this company.

I cant say anything good or bad about SJO as they dropped the ball and never followed through.
Booking an appointment to get an estimate was like jumping through hoops, then the written estimate they were suppose to send never came. When I called to follow up with them, they swore the estimate would be emailed out... it was not, and we never heard from them again.

Im sure glad I dont run my small business like this: I would be out of business.

Ed's guys have worked on my property 2 times. On both occasions they arrived on time, did everything required of them, finished on time and on budget. I highly recommend calling them for you next spark-y thing.

FRAUD ALERT. I originally hired this company to remove an overhead bathroom light and put in two sconces.
, which they did and I paid the invoice. I again hired them to install transformer for a ring door bell camera. The installer left the job due to some emergency in town and the appointment had to be rescheduled. At the reschedule 2 techs showed up and in stalled the transformer. The ring door bell never showed it was getting power from the transformer. The company was contacted again and ask to have the tech come back. They did send back out a tech. Fortunately the security company that installed the ring tested the lines and showed no power to them from the transformer prior to them coming out. I watched the security gentleman have to help the tech test the power line. Finally the tech decided he needed a new transformer. After he installed we had power.  Bear in mind I have all of this on record thanks to the indoor camera the security company installed a few weeks before.  The transformer was faulty or the tech lacked the knowledge . Now after paying over $300 to have the transformer installed which I paid the first time . I received a bill for almost $500 tor the service of two tech to replace the transformer when only one gentleman showed up and billed for 3 transformers to replace the one faulty one they installed.

We have worked with SJO electric, many times, and every time they come through. We could not be happier with there latest project. Ed is the man and countless times, he has helped us out when we are in a pickle.

I recommend SJO to everyone! Thank you for your hard work.

SJO is a VERY high quality and trustworthy electrician service. We are contractors and we use them on all of our jobs when we need help with electrical work. Always impressed with their crews and service.

Ed came out to investigate an electrical issue for us. He was so patient, courteous, and beyond kind. I really appreciated his help looking into a few additional things that I hadn't called about. He was knowledgeable and efficient in checking out each issue. I'm grateful to have the peace of mind to leave for our upcoming vacation :) Thanks to Ed and the SJO team. We'll send photos.

I needed a circuit restored, found SJO Electric recommended on a neighborhood Facebook group. Called at 12:30, Candi very efficient, pleasant and precise on the phone. Received email that John and Casey were dispatched, arrived at 2:30. Guys were extremely polite and amiable. Found problem in minutes and finished my DIY project as a bonus. Emailed invoice received minutes after they left. Very impressed with SJO's organization and personnel. A+

Our experience with SJO was less than we expected.  They left a mess, they hung a fan in the living room and left it on a slant.  Also when they went thru the attic, the pushed, stepped on, .?. The cans and noe they are down and not tight to the ceiling. C-, grade.

SJO is the most reasonable priced electrician I have ever worked with. I own a food truck and we were having electrical problems. Ed came out to take a look and the problem was fixed 15 minutes later. He could not have been more up front with the cost, most electricians over charge you for the littlest things. The guys at SJO would never charge you a penny unless you knew exactly how much the work they are doing will cost you. Loved my experience with SJO!!

SJO Electric installed 8 can lights in our living room and added two dimmable switches to control different zones in our living room. The lights are perfect! The electricians spend extra time making sure the lights were symmetrical and centered to features in the room (ei giant bay window). Our ceiling has decorative edging and they installed the lights so as to not compete with the edging. Job well done SJO! The job was completed an hour ahead of schedule and we were charged exactly what we were quoted. We will be using them again to install a 220V outlet in our garage.

The work that the team did was ok; however they unnecessarily drilled through 110 yr old baseboard/ trim despite my informing them of the required placement of the new fixtures (which did not require my woodwork to be damaged). They also dropped the light fixture (from 1906) damaging it. Both were forgivable; however I was most disappointed that my email informing the company about the issues was ignored. I will not use them again due to poor customer service.

I had a new High Efficiency furnace installed.  The new location where the furnace was installed needed a dedicated line.  SJO crew was very helpful and professional.  They did an excellent job running the new line into my basement.  I am very happy with their work.

Every once in a while, I run into a company like SJO Electric, but it is rare.  These guys are absolutely fantastic.  A tree fell down in the last storm and pulled the electric lines out of our house.  SJO showed up within a hour of our call and put the whole mess back together.  We were freezing in the dark and SJO saved us.  They are also friendly, fun to talk to and just plain wonderful.  I am so glad I called them and I found them through Yelp.  Thanks to Yelp too!

25 feet.  That's really, really high.  That's how high the light fixtures were that I needed to replace for a client.  SJO could have said they needed scaffolding and to charge extra.  But they not only got those new lights up, they handled my client with special care.  As a widow, she needed to be treated extra special, but that's just how they treat their customers.  They are wonderful to work with, and I know how important it is to have trust in your electrician.  Thank you Ed and all, you've earned my trust!

I called SJO this morning after my attempt at a 10 minute DIY outlet install over the Christmas weekend turned into a frustrating disaster. I spoke with Candi and we were able to work out a compatible time for Ed to stop by. It literally took 2 minutes to fix what took me an hour to do wrong. Just goes to show that these guys know what they're doing and it makes a difference.

This was the second time I've used them. Apparently, if I try to fix something again, there will be a third.

The email confirmation that they send in advance letting you know that the technical is on the way is an awesome customer service feature.

I have worked with SJO Electric on several projects and they are great to work with!!

I had a Great experience with this company. They were very easy to deal with and got my project done within 10 days. They were very reasonably priced. I also like the fact that everything was done electronically and I had my quote within five minutes of the estimator leaving. I had them add some can lights in my bedroom and replace several ceiling fans. I also had them install an outlet outside my house.

I have had SJO Electric work on several electrical projects.  

SJO Electric is a *very* well-organized company. Someone at the office answers the phone every time. They schedule jobs. They give written estimates. Emails confirm everything. And most importantly, they show up when they say they will. Very reliable in that regard.

Everyone I've spoken with at SJO Electric --  staff and crew, alike -- has been very friendly. Everyone has been very polite, very easy to get along with.  Just a nice group of nice people.

They have proven to be willing to do what it takes to make sure customers are satisfied.  One of my projects involved installing a new GFCI outlet.  Not long after completion, the outlet failed.  It took a few attempts to get the job done right, but eventually everything came out working the way it was supposed to.  Their work comes with a one-year warranty, and it was nice to see that they stood behind it.  As you, fellow Yelper, may already know, it is remarkably common for service technicians -- plumbers, painters, tile setters, roofers, etc. -- to wash their hands of a project the moment they get payment, so SJO Electric's willingness to correct problems is a very big deal and much to their credit.

I a breaker on an old electrical box flipped and wouldn't reset.  I first called companies to see how much it was to get the breaker fixed, but they all said (in person or over the phone) I just needed to replace the entire box.
So then, I was calling to get estimates the replace the box.  SJO was booked out the furthest to get anybody to our house for the free estimate, but I am glad I waited.  He quoted us the price for a upgraded box with more amps, but then asked what we really needed, the breaker fixed or a new box.  We had assumed from the pressure we were getting that we needed the box, but he reassured us that while the box was old, it was still safe.  He had somebody come out to fix the breaker right away.  We appreciated that he didn't push us to get a big project done when it was not necessary.  He even took the time to quote some smaller jobs that we needed cleaned up.  When we are ready to get those projects done, we will call SJO.

p.s.  I like when the email updates come telling you who your service tech will be.  It really does help you to be safe and prepared.

We recommend SJO because of their professionalism, experience, and expertise.
When you need an honest electrician with experience to do any type of job, hire SJO.  I've had the pleasure of working with Ed and Mika in regards to a faulty circuit installed by a handyman with little experience as an electrician.  They quickly resolved the issue and prevented a fire.  You guys do great work, thanks to you and your entire staff for the excellent communication and professionalism.

SJO are as good as it gets.  Knowledgeable and reasonably priced.  But the main reason they are so great is how they go out of their way fro their customers.  Ed truly cares about making his clients happy- a rarity with a lot of contractors that I come across.

Ed and his team came out to help on several occasions and have saved me a ton of money.  I had a handyman that had done things wrong and would have started a fire in my one condo and they fixed it without it costing me much at all.  Then I had them out on a condo we sold and his team was quick, efficient and clean.  I would highly recommend SJO for any electrical needs.  Also, I trust them to take care of any friends and family which they have always done well, done right and with the highest integrity.

I own a large asbestos removal company and need an electrician about 6x/ year for my clients.  Ed and his team really work hard.  They charge a fair price.

Ed and his crew are good guys.  They show up on time.  They answer any questions my clients might have.  Their back office is good as well.  

Thanks Ed.  You guys run a tight ship.

We had a burnt electrical outlet and no power in one of our bedrooms. I was thinking and expecting the worst, damage wise and money wise. Ed from SJO Electric came out and evaluated the problem. He diagnosed the issue promptly and he fixed our problem on the spot, as he had the part we needed in his truck. The power in the bedroom was restored and the outlet was available to use once again as well. All at a price that I was pleased with. Ed even took time to educate me on what he did and some things we should do to keep our home safer if and when other electrical issues arise. Going forward, SJO Electric will be the first place that we call when we need any electrical matters taken care of. Thanks Ed!

I have been a client of SJO for over twenty years. Their customer service and professionalism is second to none. They have always gone above and beyond on any project.

Ed does all my electrical repair and installation at my auto repair shop.  His crew is very good at what they do.

Ed and his crew are the best.  Finding an honest electrician is almost impossible and getting someone who will call you back, show up and finish the work can be even more difficult.  I have called SJO will small questions and the knowledge they have is astounding.  They also care about their clients and honestly tell you if something is actually a problem or minor and can be taken care of later.  I appreciate them putting my family and their safety first over their bottom line.  SJO has added lighting to several homes, fans, under cabinet lighting, up lighting, outside lighting and I have even seen them use a truck ladder to reach pole lighting.  They are just amazing and their pricing is very reasonable.  I would recommend them to anyone who needs electrical work.  Don't go with the cheap person, ELECTRICAL is too important to skimp.

SJO came out to replace a switch for me.  Fast, efficient, friendly.  Great guys!  I would definitely call them again.

I am very impressed with this company.  Ed and staff are very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and reasonably priced.  He installed 2 chandeliers at my home and then I had him out to install new wire and outlets to a room addition.  I have been wanting to have heat cable installed to my roof for ice damming and he said they can hard wire it in for me.  I would recommend them to anyone for any type project.

These guys were available and responsive and came with a great attitude and did their work in a timely and professional way.  Would hire again.

Excellent company to work with.  

Confirmation of appointment prior to arrival and guess what, they showed up when they said they would.  I know that may not be much to you but, call another electrician or better yet a few and you'll begin to get a sense of the professionalism put forth by SJO.  

They showed up, kept the jobsite clean, completed their work and aside from the new outlet, you would never know they were here.  Again, save yourself some time and frustration from working with just about anyone I know of, other than SJO.  

They are professionals and now that I know what kind of work they do first hand, I will not use anyone else.    

Dan.

Ed and his team are absolutely top knotch. This is the only electric contractor I will ever use again. SJO's prices are excellent and the quality of work is premium. Ed is honest and full of integrity and it shows throughout the entire operation. Thank you Ed!

I highly recommend Ed and the SJO team. They know exactly what to do and are quick to respond to any issue or emergency. Their rates are very reasonable and they do the job right the first time. I would not use anyone else.

I used these guys a couple months ago when I was removing the fluorescent light in my kitchen and installing canned lighting. Everyone was so professional and did great work! Ed even saved me a large expense by not recommending work that had previously been suggested. I will definitely be calling them again!
