Best Businesses in San Francisco, CA

I had used Half Moon Bay Electric may years ago to install a plug in my backyard for a hot tub. Bill came out to take care of the call. What a great guy! We joked and laughed the whole time! Charge was very reasonable.
So, when I had an old lamp that I thought I could rewire... (boy, was I wrong) and I had already pulled the old wire. Turns out it had tubing inside the stem that kept catching my new wire... needless to say, I became frustrated. So I took it in to Kristy at their shop on Main St. She told me it wouldn't be a problem and had it fixed for me later that afternoon. It works great! I'm very pleased.
I also wanted to mention how beautiful the shop was. So many amazing lamps and accessories. I always love how dressed up the window displays are, especially during the holiday season! Definite flair!
While I was there, I discussed new lighting for my kitchen. I told Kristy what styles I was interested in... she showed me a couple in the shop and then proceeded to show me many options and styles, she knew those catalogs like the back of her hand.  I was truely impressed! She explained pro and cons of certain styles. It was an extremely educational experience!  
I would truely recommend going to Kristy if you want to speak with someone with loads knowledge.

Reliable, dependable, and expert electrical work done for a very fair price.  They are responsive and there when you need them.  Highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of having my apartment transformed into an entertainment paradise, all thanks to the amazing services provided by a company that truly understands the meaning of cutting-edge innovation. From replacing outdated rackets with Wi-Fi and wire-enabled ones to installing a mind-blowing projector and audio system, they have taken my living space to a whole new level of entertainment!

What impresses me the most about this company is their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. They ensured that the installation process was smooth and hassle-free, handling everything from mounting the projector to strategically placing speakers for optimal audio coverage. The technicians were not only highly skilled but also friendly and professional, making the entire experience a joy from start to finish.

I must also mention the company's responsiveness and support. In the rare instance when I encountered a minor issue with connectivity, their customer service team was prompt and efficient in resolving it, going above and beyond to ensure my utmost satisfaction. It's refreshing to see a company that truly cares about its customers and stands behind its products and services.

I would definitely recommend Appleton Electric.

I needed some minor electric work done at our new house in San Francisco...basically installing a few new outlets.

I found Appleton through ServiceMagic.com. Scott called about an hour after I submitted my request online and quoted me a price over the phone. The work was done on time, the electricians were professional, and they did a very good job at not damaging the walls that would have required patch work. Maybe not the cheapest around but definitely a good hire and a good experience.

I have relocated to Walnut Creek for a new job and had to finish organizing my new place ASAP!
James was super nice and agreed to take the job on a weekend! Although they are not working on weekends!!!
They are super professionals and nice
They did an excellent work on my new apartment and they were fast too.
THANK you James I couldn't ask for a better costumer service your guys were amazing!
Definitely will recommend you guys for any one who needs handyman services!
Once again thank you so much!

Brett installed a chandelier that a friend gave me.  He was delayed because of an earlier job but called me a couple times to keep me up to date on his schedule so it was no problem.  When he arrived he was super friendly, knowledgeable, and he gave me advice on a couple of extra odd jobs I am thinking of doing.  I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.

Isaias and his team are the best of the best!! I am astounded by their punctuality, professionalism and ease of working with. Always willing to answer my many questions and  to explain the problem and then solution in a way that I could comprehend. Thank you Ike's Electric!!

We had great success working with Phils Electric Co. The communication was quick straight from the initial Yelp project creation. Phil came the next day to review our old San Francisco 1957 home with a messed-up electric situation.
Phil is a very experienced engineer who has ideas and solutions for pretty much any problem you could have in your garage. He also knows the code and the local permit regulations well to offer the best strategy to finish the project quickly.
We had a non-trivial layout in the garage. Our water hose faucet was just 5 inches away from the panel. Phil and his partner Anthony were limited in the ways where the panel could be moved. So they offered a thinking out of the box solution to move the faucet away from the panel instead (it should be 36 away per code). Phil has plumbing skills as well and he quickly built a copper pipe extension and installed a new faucet in no time. As a result, our home was upgraded to have 125 amp service (new wire in the existing conduit), the proper grounding implemented (two 8 feet rods), the aux panel added for the future expansion, and the Tesla Wall Charger was installed. All this for less than two days.
As a homeowner who is curious about how things work and has the will to maintain my property, I was fascinated with Phil's wisdom and great experience. He gave me all the expertise on electrical, common risks, and general perspectives. So not only the work was done, but I feel confident that I can do some minor electrical improvements myself now as well.

This review should be taken with a grain of salt because I didn't have any actual electrical work done, but I had a phenomenally helpful phone call.  I'm looking at buying a house, but it needs some old electrical equipment replaced.  The seller tried to convince me it's going to cost $5000, but Allen (at Pierce Electric) gave me a lot of very helpful information and explained that to make the house safe from electrical fires will be much more expensive.  The one phone call I made to Pierce Electric may well have just saved me from $20,000 in expenses and months of legal battles after I bought my house.

Thanks!

After 3 attempts and cancellations from other electricians, Kieth came through for us the same day we contacted him! He was great and very quickly found the bad connection and fixed a downed circuit. Super nice guy, very courteous and punctual, and most importantly, a great electrician.

Arturo came out today to install a new flush mount and repair a closet light. They were super friendly, fast, and reasonably priced. They did a great job. Highly recommend!

I found John Hoffman with only one 5-star review on Yelp, but that was enough for me to hire him for a small job. I needed to extend some conduit and add some wall plugs in my shop. He was responsive to my call and showed up the next morning 1/2 hour early! He worked eficiently and finished on time and under budget. What more could I ask for? I would definitely hire him again.

I have an antique pottery lamp that needed to be updated and rewired...I had to go to 2 different businesses before I finally found Yury. He said, of course, he could help me...what a relief...he and his staff were courteous, helpful, and congenial. They took my old lamp, got it into fantastic shape for me in ONE DAY...and for a very reasonable
charge!  This type of service is wonderful!

I can't speak highly enough about Mike. I needed to have some laminate floor replaced which was a small patch in the middle of my hallway. I called a handful of flooring companies as well as Handymen and either they never called me back or suggested terrible options for repairing the patch. Mike responded very quickly and although we had some scheduling issues on my end, he was very accommodating to fit my schedule. Most importantly, he did an amazing job on my laminate floors, better than I ever expected to come out. I will certainly be calling Mike in the future for more help, you should too!

Ed and his helper installed an EV charger circuit for me. Was installed quick and how I wanted it installed. He is very responsive and shows he knows a lot from experience!

Jesus was responsive, quick and efficient!  Will be calling him again.

Victor is an outstanding electrician and an extremely professional businessman.  I needed circuits relocated from a fuse box to an outside main panel and after contacting several electricians I chose Victor - and I am so glad I did.  Victor is so easy to work with and I appreciate his honesty.  Trying to prepare a house for a rental I have had several thoughts on how to solve various problems. He has been so patient listening and helping me see the pros and cons of my suggestions.  I would recommend Victor without hesitation and he will be the first person I will call when I have additional electrical needs.

Mark W. Schulkamp Electric Company did an excellent job for us.  I would highly recommend this business.  

It is hard to hire a business without knowing someone in the industry, and I am more than satisfied with the work performed.  Mark's price was extremely reasonable, he was professional and extremely nice.  

He came up with a great idea that in the end will help my elderly mother, in the safety of her day to day living.  Our family will definitely call him in the future.

Robert is great to work with!  He is knowledgeable, pragmatic, punctual, and fairly priced.  I have already had the privilege of recommending him to friends.
