Best Outdoor Light Repair in San Diego CA
Alejandro has five-star ratings for a reason - he can fix it. He did some electrical work for me that was pretty complex and did a great job. Even came back to help me with the electrical software, which was a bit tricky. Pricing was lower than I expected and he wore a pandemic mask, both of which I appreciated. Good to know he's around because I will hire him again when the need arises.

I WAS IN SHOCK!!!
I had a relatively small electrical job requiring the installation of two new sconces and the replacement of two existing ones, replacing an existing wall dimmer and mounting a separate wireless dimmer on a wall. Using wiremold, the ENTIRE in-wall wiring would total about 12 and right above existing dimmer switch! My common sense estimate was that it would probably take two or three hours.
The good - Point Loma Electric was very responsive and the man who arrived to give me the estimate was professional. Because I didn't use them, I have no way of knowing the quality of their work.
The bad is inexcusable- I was then handed an estimate for the job of slightly over $2500! I questioned the technician about such an outrageous quote and he told me unexpected surprises could occur. I challenged him to come up with one even slightly reasonable example of that on my job. He could not. He also stated that they were not the cheapest in town. Quite the understatement!
I then proceeded to request estimates from other electricians. Each one ranged from about $500 to $700. I priced out all the parts on Amazon and purchased them all for slightly under $100. I then proceeded to hire an electrician. I supplied the parts and he quoted $500 for labor. In slightly less than three hours, the job was completed perfectly and professionally. To me, there is no ethical way to charge $2500 for a job that virtually all competitors quoted 80% less! Buyer beware and definitely shop around. I've attached the estimate to this review.

Had all the palms in my front yard trimmed, they called back quickly to give quote. The price was very fair and they did a great job. Will be using again in a few weeks to tackle the backyard palms. They cleaned up nicely afterwards, I'd highly recommend using them.
