Best Businesses in California

I got to say Jeff is a really solid dude.
I initially reached out about an electrical issue happening my master bedroom. He was kind enough to give me some troubleshooting tips, but unfortunately the problem persisted. So we scheduled an appointment the following day.

He was super personable and arrived within a timely manner. I felt that his prices were reasonable and he was able to fix the problem (thankfully a minor issue).
I would definately use his services again!

I was in a dark place... (I laughed after I wrote this)

I was doing a little home improvement when I got in way over my head with the electrical.  I had a complex (for me) circuit powering three different lights with three sets of three way switches.  I spent an entire day trying to figure it out myself with online diagrams.  Then it started to get dark outside and I realized I needed professional help.  So I cracked open Yelp like I always do when I have to spend more than a few dollars.  I limited my search to affordable, local, five star companies.  I called four or five electrical companies.  Some were big with call centers and secretary's who only had appointments beginning a week out.  Some were small; The number dialed straight to the owner.  Either way, no one was willing to help me when I needed it (right now!).  I don't blame them.  It was 6 PM.  I probably wouldn't have helped me either.

Then I called Craig with Core Electric.  He was different.  Just talking over the phone I could tell he really wanted to help me.  In fact, he was truly interested in my problem as if he actually liked what he does and thinks the paycheck is a perk.  He too was unable to come over because early that morning he was involved in a head on collision and his car was destroyed, and he was working another project he anticipated would take him late into the evening.

Most guys would have let the stress and situation get to them and be abrasive and impatient with people over the phone.  Craig took the time to listen to me, he looked at pictures and amateur diagrams I texted to him, and he actually walked me through the problem over the phone!?!?  What?  This is 2016 and old fashioned customer service doesn't exist anymore right?  Wrong.  With Craig you get old fashioned customer service.  I know I will call him for any future electrical work and I'll recommend him to everyone I know.  I hope, for your sake (future customer) this review finds you,  because you won't be disappointed.

I called Jimmy with Spark it Up Electric and he was very responsive and helpful! He was able to come by that day to check out my faulty outlet and fixed it on the spot!  He is fast and efficient and I felt safe with him in my home. I also had him install a ceiling fan, which is awesome! Great priced and reliable too! I would definitely hire him again!!!

Mark is amazing! He is quick to answer any problems and troubleshoot to find a solution. He is truly a visionary in renewable energy and sustainable living. I'm extremely impressed with the timely responses and individual attention from Mark and his company in maintaining the efficiency of our solar system and batteries. I highly recommend him for any renewable energy project you might have. I would give him a hundred stars if I could.

Doug was recommended on the Santee facebook community page and he certainly delivered great service.   He is honest and fair priced.

I am very pleased with Ideal Plumbing. Installed a new water heater, laundry tub and new valves on sinks, etc. On time, professional and the guys did a great job. Price was very fair and overall pleased and I will use them again.

Alfredo and employee are prompt, thorough, professional and efficient.  Alfredo thoroughly explained arc and photo cell issues.  They performed same day service:  repaired arc problem and replaced photo cell and switch plates. I will use them for future work.  Thank you, Brilliant Electric!

Zed is amazing! The HVAC company I work for uses them for all our electrical needs. They're always responsive when issues arise or needing help with any sorts of questions. They're work is awesome and we have had no complaints when our customers use them for any service. All of their employees are super friendly and are always making sure you are left satisfied! I would highly recommend them! David, thank you for always being so easy to work with!!

Called Daniel on a Friday night about a small project. He made it a point to swing by and take a look that day. He gave me a great price and said he could do it the next day. The day of the job he showed up on time and was super efficient and did a great job. The best news...he finished earlier than expected and saved ME money! For future electrical projects I'll be sure to reach out him. Can't wait to hire him again to put in some ceiling fans and possible recessed lighting in our kitchen.

Darell came out to my home, was very professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and knew exactly what my bathroom issue was. He quickly solved my problem with annoying bathtub faucet constantly dripping water by replacing bathroom drain fixtures , stopper, spout, and the bathtub and shower handle fixtures which was improperly done by previous plumber. He also installed 2 new ceiling fans including race ways to bedroom ceilings even though there was no attic access. He charged me a reasonable fee, and I would definitely recommend him and utilize his services again.

Best night's sleep!
Not having ac means a good ceiling fan is essential. I found one and John installed it. He also installed a TV hanging on the wall. He was on time, worked quickly and professionally. Set up the new TV as an added bonus.

The fan, unfortunately, did not work well. It was noisy and wobbly. That was NO fault of the installation, just a bad fan. I called John out and he came back and put up the new fan.

Best night's sleep! Thanks John

Kelly just left my house and she couldn't have been a nicer person to work with. I had her install a glass shower door which was problematic to say the least, she was professional and was able to troubleshoot the installation and made sure it was perfect. She had the right tools for the job and even had some screws on hand that she used to help secure the door to the wall. I had her then install some towel bars in my bathrooms. She did everything professionally and quickly. I highly recommend her work and don't hesitate to hire her to do your home maintenance.

Rick & Jack were super awesome!!! I got a very quick response & quote to have my master bath lights repaired & installed. Despite a surprise (poor/dangerous wiring from the previous contractor) Rick was able to fix it and manage to stay within our original quote. They cleaned up nicely afterwards too- like they were never here! Excited to have them come back to do some other lighting projects in the near future.

Jay provided a comprehensive written estimate which he agreed was a firm price for the agreed upon work. He worked all day long until all the rough-in work was complete, and then he returned to complete the work after the other contractors were done, as requested. Again, he stayed until he finished all the agreed upon work. He helped us plan to better utilize the existing power available at the power panel and set up the wiring so we could have options later if we wanted to change the type of lighting we installed (LED). He has great ideas on where we might want extra outlets, etc. I would highly recommend him for any electrical work. He is super reliable, knowledgeable, and was committed to finishing the work when he said he would.

I lost power to half my home. He was able to come same day. Not only did he restore power but he fixed other electrical problems I had throughout my home. Very friendly and overall good guy. Would most definitely recommend.
