Best Pendant Light Installation in San Jose CA

We hired Voltz Electric to install 2 light fixtures in guest bedrooms and recessed lighting in our master bedroom. 3 crew members came on time and started work after discussing with my husband what the process was going to be. After we okay'd everything, my husband left for work. Shortly after, James came by the house and told me that the recessed lighting fixtures that we had weren't made anymore and that the ones available now were similar, but not the same. I said that was fine and they went to purchase the materials.

When they came back, they had almost finished the light install in our baby's nursery. They had already cut the hole in the guest bedroom to start work on that and then they realized that they didn't have attic access to that area. They explained that in order to work on that part of the room, they would need to drill several holes to run the wire. The reason why I am giving them 3 stars is because they really should have checked to make sure they could do the light before putting a hole in my ceiling. Now we have a patch job that doesn't look good that could have been avoided had they actually looked at the access before cutting a hole in the ceiling. I know they aren't drywall specialists but they wouldn't have had to do anything with that ceiling had they looked before acting.

Then they looked for access to the master bedroom and discovered the same thing. James then came back to survey the area and confirmed that they wouldn't be able to put the lights in the master or guest bedroom unless we wanted to drill into the sheetrock, which would then entail a replacement of it and painting of it. That would also cost us an additional couple of thousand dollars. We decided against it and paid them for the one room that they did. However, we were quoted for a whole job so I guess there was a 3 room discount of some kind. But since we only did 1 room in the end, we ended up paying $155 more than we anticipated for the one room.

They were very clean. They put down plastic wherever they worked and also covered their shoes. They vacuumed everything up when they were done and did a great job explaining what the issue was. I only wish they were able to come up with a solution that wouldn't have cost us an additional couple thousand dollars. They were really great to work with and would highly recommend them for their professionalism and their knowledge. I would just make sure they do their research before starting.

**UPDATE** Matt, the owner, read my comments on yelp and immediately contacted us. He came over to our house, checked on the work himself and decided that there was a way they could do the lights without cutting into the sheetrock. He offered to have someone come do the texturizing and finishing of the ceiling out of their pocket if we decided not to have them do our lights. He gave me back the check I gave them on Friday and was extremely apologetic. He said that his star guy, Mike, had a cancellation and could work on the lights today if I wanted. I agreed to the extremely reasonable price and they were here to work on the lights by noon. Mike assessed the situation with Matt and said they should have no problem doing the lights the way we wanted. They finished in a timely manner, did exactly what we wanted, and were very professional and very kind. I would DEFINITELY recommend them as this is the best customer service experience I have had in a really long time. Matt and his team are exceptional!!

Wouldn't hire them again.

Worked with them on a time and materials basis and they charged us as much as they possibly could for very little work .

For 8 hours with material they charged us $2162 and installed a total of 4 recessed lights with one wire run from the basement.

Also - not sure what your comment below is about. The lights, dimmer switches were all purchased by us and your person went on our time to home depot for materials you needed for drilling.

Dan came out the same day that we called, was able to give us a best guess estimate over the phone. Was super knowledgeable, able to figure out and fix the problem pretty quickly. His estimate was right on, and he took all types of payment.

James showed up on time and gave me a realistic idea of what the job entailed. He gave me a very fair price and did the work up to code and pointed out some issues with previous electrical work that he had to work around, and did a great job. I would highly recommend JCM Electric!

Chris solved a problem that even PGE could not resolve. He came quickly and was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable.

Courteous and prompt response but their pricing model doesn't make sense. I'm okay paying a higher price but they were quoting a minimum for each task.

Basically had three fairly simple tasks... Change a chandelier (small dining area one), troubleshoot a wall that had no power on both sides and check out a light bulb. Was surprised that they quoted me a minimum price for each task. I understand people charging a minimum for a job or to come over, but once you are over and the minimum is met, you go on a clock! Not minimum 85$ for chandelier, then 150$ to checkout the wall (and more if you go over an hour) and another 50$ to see why a light bulb isn't working.

I guess they are free to quote whatever they please but it didn't make sense to me.  It's a rip off. Needless to say, I passed on them.

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!

Moises came out on short notice. He and another gentleman was very pleasant to talk to and seemed very knowledgeable. I had an issue with part of a circuit that went offline. Moises took little time to figure out what happened. He explained the situation very well along with options on how to address the issue. He fixed the immediate problem and recommended some other remediations.

I would not even give this company one star if I didn't have to.  Do NOT do business with this company, if they are even in existence anymore.  I made two separate appointments on their own Yelp page, was confirmed for a two hour window both times.  I left work both times and was at home the entire time, both no shows, no call, no anything.  I also left two phone messages asking for a callback and nothing.  This behavior is very unprofessional!  I called another electrician, made an appointment, they arrived at the appointed time and fixed the problem.  Not that difficult.

Very disappointing since the reason we called them in the first place was a good experience the first time we used them.

Larry is fantastic! The circuit breaker tripped for our bedroom and wouldn't reset. I called 3 electricians, and Larry responded promptly and was able to fit me into his schedule the same day. He is diligent, patient, and thorough in his work, which is exactly the attitude needed when troubleshooting electrical gremlins. I felt that I was in good hands with somebody who cared about the quality of his work and fixing it right. Thanks Larry!

It is hard to find a good residential contractor these days for any trade, but these guys certainly fit the bill. Great service, skilled workers, prompt, efficient,  and trustworthy. If you need any electrical work done give these guys a call. They did the can lights in our kitchen  and it makes a huge difference. Would not hesitate to hire this team for our next electrical project. Thank you!

We hired Five or Free Electrical Solutions few months ago for rewiring 7 of our circuits, Alexis &  Gilbert and the rest of their team were super friendly and professional from the beginning to the end. They communicated what they intended to do and they did exactly that! They finished our electrical project with EXCELLENCE, they passed the inspection and left our home neat. We would definitely use their service again in the future and will highly recommend their service to others!

We had the majority of our outdated (1980s) lights replaced. Brian helped us select various lighting options throughout the house. Brian and his worker were here for 2 1/2 days and did their jobs cleanly, quietly, and efficiently. We would call BMH again for electrical work.

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!

Ben did a great job installing our NEMA 14-50 outlet in the garage.
Very fast and clean, and clear communication.

I was having a problem with power going out intermittently in 2 rooms. Mike showed up on time and immediately began to troubleshoot the problem. He was very professional and friendly and very knowledgeable. He tracked down the problem and explained in detail what it was and how he would fix it. I was very happy with the service I received from Fisher electric and will definitely call them again for my electrical needs.

Dan and team do great preventative maintenance on our Generac--totally reasonable and responsive!

I finally found a tech-savvy company, BV Electric. When I called, they asked me to send them email describing what work needed to be done, which was great because I could include a photo of the burned-out outlet and give them the details and photos of some Nest Protect wiring issues. They responded with email saying when they could be there. We exchanged further email about the price estimate, and they've confirmed the arrival date & time in both text and email. Rigoberto Ochoa and another electrician showed up on time and knew exactly what to do. (The installation instructions from Nest Protect were wrong.) They had everything fixed within 30 minutes. I was very impressed, and the next time I need an electrician, I'm calling BV Electric again.

Quick and clean installation! He arrived on time and finished job clean and quick, my EV charger looks great at my garage.
