Best Cabinet Light Repair in San Jose CA

Voltz's principle contacted me recently. We agreed on a compromise and he refunded half of the charge, for which I upgraded my review to 3 stars. I thought this fair. I'm not out to screw service people. Open neutrals can be destructive and a bit tricky to diagnose and find. That being said, any tech should know when they're in over their head. And please, never tell a customer he's being charged a day's work for not finding the problem and top it by telling him how lucky he is to not be spending $10K in repairs when the customer diagnoses the problem for the tech. I guess anyone can have a bad day.

I called Duke on a Wednesday for a quote to do recessed lights in my new two-story house. He followed up with a text message and we arranged for a free in-person consultation for Saturday. He was 1 of 3 electricians I reached out to for a quote, he was 1 of 2 that responded timely and of the two he was the higher quote, but the better choice.  I decided to go with Duke because:

1) He came to the house and walked through each area explaining his process and approach which informed the proposal he later provided. Through text message he gave a 'cost per light' quote to give us a sense of the total cost of the project, then while at the house we talked about the number of lights that would be optimal for each area of the house.

2) He was able to squeeze in my project, between two other projects he had scheduled, for a completion date of within two weeks from the time I initially called. I called Jan-15 and the lights were installed by the 29th.

What made me feel good about working with Duke:

1) He got us quotes for a drywall/paint person to patch up holes and they worked together.

2) He spent the entire first day mapping out the ceilings and worked with us to try out a few different placement ideas for the more problematic areas of the house.

3) He encouraged us to get quotes from other electricians so we would become more knowledgable in the process and feel good about the decisions we were making.

What you should know: We got our contract (proposal for work) and invoice when the work was almost done. A lot of the decisions and changes we made were verbal and on occasion recapped through text message. We were comfortable with that approach since it was within a short timeframe.

We hired Adary electric to add a sub panel in our garage. They were very good on communication and gave us a quick estimate turnaround so that we could get started right away. We were referred to them by friends and we will highly recommend them to anyone of  friends as well. They did a very professional job and we feel they were very knowledgeable and friendly. The owner Nadav was especially accommodating and definitely a huge plus they were able to get the job done within a week. We are so glad we went with them as we did look for quotes from others but felt Nadav was more honest and since he was local it was another plus. Thanks Nadav!

Dan did a great job installing our light fixtures. He was on time, fair with his pricing, and took the time needed to consult with us before the work began. I would recommend Dan to anyone!

Great service by James M.! He came to us the same evening of my call after a very large tree fell on our main power line and house. James was extremely kind and helpful and worked directly with the city utilities until our main line was fully tested and quickly reconnected. He understands problems and the city permit hurdles and goes out of his way to help his customers. I highly recommend James, he has great knowledge and also knows how to deal with the utilities and customers, overall great customer service. Pricing was very competitive for a same day emergency service.

Residential or Commercial, I have used him for both and he is an absolute unit! Shows up on time, gives accurate estimates without bait and switching, has a professional crew with matching fleet vehicles and most importantly he is a genuinely good dude who enjoys his craft and really goes above and beyond to make sure the job is done right! 10/10 would suggest!

Great experience with Alley Electric. I had three rooms losing power and was about to plan for rewiring the circuit. Chris was excellent! He did a thorough investigation and was able to find the root cause and fixed that very quickly, and helped me to avoid a much bigger project! He also helped me to add an external plug for festival lighting, which was also quickly and nicely done. Definitely recommend him and this business.

After browsing a long list of Tesla charger installers, I ultimately chose Fruitdale Electric. Within days of my initial contact, they visited my home and provided a quote, which was much faster than I expected.

On installation day, their technicians arrived promptly. They installed a Tesla gen 3 charger, surge protection, and ran electrical wiring through my attic to the opposite side of the house. Despite the terrible weather at the time, they delivered flawless work.

The location of the charger was a challenge due to the tight space, and I had anticipated conduit running outside of my house. However, they exceeded my expectations and executed an incredibly clean installation with no visible wires or conduits, leaving just a Tesla charger on the wall exactly where I wanted it. Most importantly, my car now charges at a rate of over 40mph, a significant improvement from the previous rate of 4mph.

Excellent work ..very professional and polite and worked efficiently and made very good recommendations for the types of lights to be used based on the layout of my rooms and also for the electrical work on the outside of my house and garage. They kept their masks on all day when working and always checked with me on the placement of each fitting and brought quality material fixtures. I would definitely recommend them and use them again!

Very responsive, came to do an estimate extremely quick. Installed recessed lighting and outlet for me and did it extremely well. Worked fast and cleaned up the work area, definitely would hire for another job.

They have awesome customer service and are super accommodating. They were quick to respond and get my small job done asap with in a couple of hours. I really appreciated that they have such a fast response time, which is what you need in a pinch and don't have the time to wait a week for another appointment. However, expect to pay 3x's as much as any other electrician. $442 to go into attic and unplug an exterior camera and plug it back in. In any case, my camera is back up and running and I'm super happy about that!! Thank you!!

I purchased a new glass cooktop to replace an old coiled one.  Called Chuck to cut the countertop/tile for the new dimensions of the cooktop and to install the new one.  He was very informative and knowledgeable.  I would definitely work with him again.

You can't go wrong with Larry from ELS Electric.  We had a serious problem with our panel, and he installed a new panel with all the associated work for a great price even though it was an emergency.  He explained everything as he went, gave a thorough explanation of the problem to our insurance adjuster, and was wonderfully professional and personable.  A true gem!

Fitch Electric is fantastic! I worked with Scott to set up a time for John to come out and evaluate our needs. John was super helpful, knowledgeable and patient with all of my questions.

We scheduled the job and John did a great job .. quick and efficient.

I have a few light switch and fixture fixes and called one other company and was told just to get an estimate will need 2+ weeks. I just called Five or Free and got an estimate appointment the next day.

Eric comes very friendly and gave a reasonable estimate. The crew then came the next morning very on time. All the works are done very clean and neat. We are very satisfied with the works.

Brian's work was off-the-charts great. When I first contacted him to install a ceiling fan, his estimate seemed high. But then he took time to explain exactly what needed to be done and why the job was more complex than I'd realized. Given Brian's minimum charge for work, he encouraged me to line up a few other jobs for him to accomplish in case the fan installation proceeded more quickly than he was anticipating. On the designated day, he arrived right on time with an assistant-- both wearing masks (properly). While his assistant covered the room to minimize mess, Brian surveyed 3 other jobs around the house, declared he could accomplish them all, went to Lowe's to buy supplies, and for the rate he originally quoted, (1) installed the fan with an unbelievably minimal amount of cutting, (2) replaced all of our under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen, (3) repaired a worn-out GFI outlet, and (4) replaced a broken pump/fountain in our small pond out back. When one little thing went wrong (our fault, not Brian's), he stayed late doing an unpleasantly dirty job to make it perfect at no extra charge. They say that you get what you pay for. With Brian, we got 4x what we paid for-- quite literally. PS- It was also fun to hear Brian teaching his assistant throughout the day. If Brian develops more Brians, the world will be a better place.

I highly recommend Odom Electric. My husband and I embarked (foolishly) on a DIY remodel for our kitchen and living space. We needed extensive electrical work because, not only were we installing new light fixtures, we thought it would be fun to rearrange our kitchen appliances, move receptacles, move our dryer, add numerous receptacles and light switches, install a new electrical panel, install recessed lighting, put up security lights, and run electricity to our shed in the backyard.

Rob did not miss a beat--even when I told him we had no plans and then quickly drew an electrical work map on graph paper. He was flexible and super pleasant to work with. Months after his work was done, I ran into a little snag trying to wrap up our work, and he was back to my kitchen in record time.

I highly recommend Rob!

We hired Ben to perform major electrical upgrades to our 100 year old home including swapping out an old fuse box with new breakers and adding a second breaker box to support a new guest house in the back as well as adding a new Tesla charging station.  All of the work was performed with both professional care, expertise and expediency and most of all passed all inspections the first time which kept our budget in tack and did not impact our other contractors deliverables.  Ben is very dedicated and goes beyond the call to satisfy his customers.  I would highly recommend him for any Electrical job for your home.

I never really post reviews, but Vinh's service was so absolutely extraordinary I had to post the best review I could.

My husband and I bought an 8ft chandelier in Puerto Vallarta. We knew it would go great in our entry way, but had no clue how to make it to the 20ft ceiling to install it. Vinh came by and assessed the job, even letting me know that there was probably no mounting bracket in the socket where the connection would be made. He gave me a very reasonable quote, including hardware and labor. He finally asked if there was another job around the house he could do only because he felt bad about driving all the way out to Hayward for a simple $500 job. I mentioned that we've been wanting a door in the open archway to separate the master bath and master bedroom. He gave a second quote and said both the lamp job and the door installation (which included dropping the ceiling a bit to ensure the door closed properly!) could be done THE SAME DAY. We balanced the budget and agreed that we wanted to proceed. He came in at exactly 6:59am and got the lamp done by 9p and the door done by noon. They are absolutely perfect and both jobs were expertly done. We have exactly zero issues with either jo and even occasionally marvel at the work and craftsmanship even 2 weeks later.  We will be reaching out to Vinh for more out-of-our-capabilities repairs!

Dan is one of the most conscientious, smart, qualified, professionals on the coast I have met. He has been a go-to for me on several houses over my 30 years a resident. Even now as I get my last home ready for sale he is there for me.  Definitely recommend them. I have tried others from over the hill. They didn't do the same quality and always seem to want a huge project. Dan is different.
