We hired Jaime to install our bedroom chandelier. He and his associate were very responsive from the start and I got a great sense of their knowledge and capabilities within the first few minutes of our conversation. In fact, Jaime was available that same afternoon. During the install, Jaime checked in with me at several key points to ensure I was OK with his approach and gave me thoughtful options. I will surely keep Jaime in mind for future projects.

Long story short - the guys at EVChargerExpert blew my expectations through the roof from beginning to end when they installed my Tesla wall charger. Kirill was dead on in terms of getting the information and pictures he needed to give me a quote and Erin brought the technical skills to not only install the charger but have it look better than anything I could have imagined as I needed an installation that required just as much art skills as science skills. Not only did EVChargerExpert beat out all of the other contractors I contacted in terms of price, they also excelled in terms of communication and professionalism. Long story below if you even need it.
After speaking with three other installers (and having two come by the house) Erin showed up and had a super professional can-do attitude with a vast amount of knowledge about electric vehicles and chargers that I wish I had tapped into before putting in hours and hours of my own research. Initially, I had him give me two quotes for installation of a NEMA 14-50 socket: one if it was installed right next to my garage, and the other if I had it installed at the end of my driveway (which was my preferred place).
By the time Erin came by I was on the fence about just installing a socket versus putting in a proper car charger so he talked to me about the pros and cons of installing the NEMA 14-50 socket versus installing a Tesla or a JuiceBox wall charger and, in the end, I went with the Tesla charger. Since I wanted something that would work esthetically with my house I was hesitant about having a box installed so far down the driveway, so Erin came by and explained what he proposed to do, which is exactly what put me very at ease in terms of hiring him. Once he came to do the work Erin only needed access to the space and about four hours later he texted me to let me know the job was completed.
When I looked at the work he did it looked so much better than I imagined. The work even included finishing and sealing all of the places he had to drill through to get the charger in the location I wanted (something the other electricians did not include in their quote and told me I would have to hire another person to do). Erin then walked me through using the charger and explained how to troubleshoot if there were any problems with it in the future, especially since we have blackouts in my area. Now that I have been using my charger I am so happy I paid a little more to get the charger where I really wanted it. It has already made life a lot easier.
I know during these SIP days and times money may be tight as we all wait to see what will happen with our economy but I will say if you have been mulling over getting something like this done RUN - don't walk - to these guys because they are available and do spectacular work. Thankfully, electricians are considered essential services for now.

We had a couple of circuits that would lose power but the circuit breakers had not popped. We called David and he managed to get by the same day to look at the situation. He could not find any problem with the circuit breakers or the panel, so he checked the PGE panel with the meter. He found that the panel was badly corroded due to the fog we have here constantly. He gave me an estimate for replacing the panel, which seemed reasonable. He scheduled the permit, inspector, and PG&E to be involved in the replacement. On the day scheduled, he showed up on time, completed his part in time for the inspector and PG&E to approve and reconnect the service ahead of his originally estimated time. He also built a wooden box around the panel to protect it from the fog to delay corrosion in the future. He cleaned up thoroughly after the work was done. David is very easy to work with and knowledgeable of what needs to be done.

Amp Electric are super experienced and professional folks. Jaime initially came out to quote the work to install a new exhaust fan and I immediately had good vibes from him. These guys are genuine and care about the work, and gave a very fair price. I never felt like they were trying to pull one on us, and at this point we have met a lot of contractors looking to rip off new homeowners. Also the entire time we worked together they were always respectful of our space and wore masks. As with all old houses there was a bunch of weird stuff hiding behind the walls but they went above and beyond to take care of things the right way per code. We ended up also hiring them to replace our dangerous Federal Pacific electric panel and they took care of the communication with PGE and building permits as well. And most importantly they were AWESOME with communication. Jaime made it clear that we could always reach out to see how things were going (and working with PGE means that there are gonna be months of waiting before work can start) so we never felt abandoned and he would promptly respond with our status whenever we reached out. These guys are a diamond in the rough, I can't recommend them enough!

Asked for consult on site. Got back to me super fast. Showed up exactly when they scheduled.
Never needed to see the final product. Bc they advised me I didn't need the work ... bc repair was so easy. And showed me how to do it. And wouldn't accept an offered 'svc. visit' fee when I offered.
Wow. Well done. Worth the stars. I'll use this co for ALL my homes electrical needs. Including EV car installation.

Jason came right on time (first thing in the morning so I could get to work on time) for our set of small jobs and took care of everything quickly and efficiently. And his charge was reasonable. I could not recommend him more highly.

We finally got a smart TV and were trying to see if we could get our ancient DVD/VCR player to work with it. This is a tiny job compared to the main scope of Regent5's business, but Cham came out twice to help with the problem, got us a reasonable solution, and also charged us an incredibly reasonable fee for everything he did. I got a very quick response to my initial email request for help -really fast! They are responsive and easy to deal with, very friendly.

Update: I hired Yevgeny again when our shower began to back up due to a deep clog. I tried augering it myself with no success, but Yevgeny was able to remove the clog quickly! He came by very soon after I called and was as helpful and professional as always. I look forward to hiring him again.

I've called on the Mulholland brothers multiple times to assist me at my storefront! They are so reliable and always quick to respond. They have helped me with a wide range of projects including lighting installation, cooler repair, and fixing the wiring on a bus I use for pop-up shops. It's so convenient that they now have a second location in Sonoma!

I am writing a review about Watts Electrical. I give Danial and Watts Electrical 5 stars and here's why:
I recently purchased a Tesla and needed to install the Tesla wall charger in my garage. I did my due diligence and called almost a dozen electricians in the Stockton/Lodi area and got quotes from each. Watts Electrical was the one chosen to do the work. I applied for the EVGrid grant to have my charger and electrician installation cost reimbursed. One of the requirements was to have a load calculation completed by the electrician, as part of the application process. All of the electricians I called did not want to help me do a load calculation because I am assuming it would take extra time for them. In reality, it's like 10 minutes of math. The only person that went out of their way to help me was Daniel from Watts Electrical. He came to my house to do an initial inspection on the electrical box. I also have solar panels. He also provided me the load calculations and I submitted his quote and the load calculations to the grant folks and they were good with it. They told me it would take 60 days for me to have my reimbursement approved, and so I told Daniel I'd have to wait 2 months. He was cool with it and did not pressure me in any way. Fast forward 2 months, and I have my Tesla wall charger. He comes and install it and it looks great and works excellent. He submits the paperwork to the city, so that it can be permitted. 3 weeks later, the city inspector and Daniel shows up to meet him, and the inspector inspects the work. Everything passes of course, and I receive my permit card on the spot. Long story short, out of all of the electricians I called, only Daniel gave me the time of day and helped me with my load calculations. The others told me to do it myself. I think that is very telling of the kind of person he is and the company itself. So if you need an EV charger installed and do not want to worry and stress about working with a contractor, I think Watts is the business to go with. = )

Called for some changes to the outside of the house, an extra outlet and moving the hookup for the condenser unit to a new location.
Danny came out for the quote, and was very friendly and receptive. He called in a colleague after I accepted the quote, and they did a quality job in an efficient and neat matter. Would definitively recommend this company for any electrical needs, and they definitely have found a repeat customer in myself.

Outstanding service and follow-up, expert, clean installation! From first point of contact, they answered all of my (several sets of) questions, arrived in time, did a very tidy install, and made sure everything was working before they departed. Highly recommend them for a charger install!

Had a great experience. After calling another electrician who quoted us a very high rate to come by, I called Archbold. The owner (?) who answered was really helpful - he shared his rate which was more reasonable than the other one we were quoted; and better yet he helped us trouble shoot it over the phone for free such that we didn't need a visit at all. Will definitely call them the next time we need work done!!

Our attic fan stopped working just before a heat wave; we weren't sure if the problem was the fan itself, a switch or the breaker. Just in case it was the fan, my husband had purchased a new one. Wesley and Alina were right on time, fast, efficient and very easy to work with. Wesley identified the problem as the fan within just a few minutes; he got the new one installed in very short order. Very professional and I would not hesitate to call them again.

We recently had Victor do some electrical panel work so we'd have a backup generator. His service was exceptional. For each appointment he either showed up on time, or called to let us know he was slightly delayed. (This was because of the good service he was providing to another customer.) When he arrived, he was respectful of our COVID needs, wearing a mask the entire time, and respecting distancing needs. His work was prompt, skilled, and completed in a timely way. He even did all of the work with the city to facilitate the permitting process. We'd be happy to recommend his service to others.

We got off to a bit of a shaky start with a missed appointment, but got great service from there.
To make up for the missed appointment, Geoff worked on his day off, New Year's Day to be precise. That is pretty cool!
He was able to diagnose and communicate the problem we have, which will require access to another unit, so could not be solved on the day. While he was out at the appointment he also tightened other connections and tuned up some items at the panels. This is great attention to detail and we really appreciate it.

Pete did a re-install of some aging ceiling fans, installed new LED down lights in my kitchen (which involved some tricky engineering for my non-standard-depth ceiling joists), relocated my sub-panel, wired a new hallway light, and re-wired an old shed so I could use it again. Everything works great and my home is that much more pleasant as a result of his work.
For anything having to do with electricity in my home, I'll never call anyone but Pete. He's super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and does impeccable work. He shows up when he says he will, finishes when he says, and is incredibly conscientious about safety. He's one of those guys who, after you're done working with him, you wish ALL your contractors were as good, reliable, affordable, and friendly.

Too expensive, and less 6 months after coming over, the day before a long weekend, the toilet has the exact same problem. The part was over $300, plus labor, and the job added up to over $500 (including one other minor plumbing job).
Plumber clearly did not want to do the work, and clearly wanted to start his weekend. He whined his way through the job, and just wanted to leave asap to the next job. I ended up hiring a different guy to finish the other work that needed to be done - who was cheaper, glad to have the work, and has since been used for a very large job on our property. Can only imagine what Ongaro would've charged for that!
Was going to write a review last year, but held off, thinking oh well, lessoned learned. Ongaro's is expensive, and will never use them again. But now, as of two days ago, having the same problem with the toilet - same sound, same everything, will gladly slam the company.
This is a tough economy, and I am glad we have found a reliable, happy-to-be-in-work plumber.
5/1/13 Unfortunately your technician's work product/attitude represented Ongaro, and I was so surprised at how quickly the work did not hold up, made a decision to have no further contact with your company. Have since found a reputable plumber, who has repaired the work done by Ongaro. I am very happy with my current plumber, thank you.
