Not only was the quote very high, but their suggested approach was extremely complex and would have involved tearing down walls and tearing my yard. Then I remembered that I'd had a positive experience with Chasov Electric several years ago so I reached out. Michael came out to inspect our property and immediately proposed a much simpler and more cost effective solution. He took photos on his tablet and sent mockups of his proposed design in advance. Harry and Alex completed the project and they were delightful to work with. They arrived on time, confirmed details and decisions with me throughout the day, and carefully inspected all their work prior to departing. I'm very happy with how the work turned out. I can't speak highly enough about the professionalism and creativity of Chasov Electric. They are true engineers and "electrical magicians." I would definitely recommend them, especially for any projects requiring creative or complex electrical solutions!

I understand he can be fairly busy (he's only one guy after all) but if he can do the work in the timeframe you need it done, his attention to detail and encyclopedic knowledge of the minutae of the electrical codes is well worth it -- both in the execution and in the all-important event of dealing with the inspector. I will be using Jeff until he finally decides to hang up his wire strippers.

"Go fuck yourself!" is the last of several outbursts yelled at me by handyman Michael Andrews…read more He was hired to replace 2 rotted deck boards and repair dry rot on my threshold. At the preliminary meeting, I asked him how much he charged but he would only say, "I will be fair, and I will work with you," waving away my question. I mentioned I did not want to be charged for chatter, as he loves to talk. The oak threshold was warped and had to be exchanged. The 2 porch floor boards were also warped. It took him 3 hours to remove and replace 2 boards, which he did competently. Then he tried to install the new threshold, which was too thick for the space, as the door would not close. We noted the original threshold was not rotted; only the narrow horizontal strip abutting the threshold had rot. I asked several times that he use the old threshold, but he refused, instead trying several time consuming maneuvers, including removing carpet tacking, cutting the edges of the oak threshold, and trying to shim an already too thick threshold. Finally he was about to plane the oak when I protested again. He got increasingly more angry with me for asking he use the original threshold. Finally he waved me away, saying, "Get out of here, I am the professional." When I did not retreat as "commanded," he said, "I don't like you!" Soon after, he made a strange and uninvited attempt to hug me, only to regain his rage when I again requested using the original threshold. He slammed down his tools and left, returning with an additional board to shim the new threshold, which also failed. He finally agreed to reinstall the original threshold and replace only the dry rotted strip, which should have taken 30 minutes (see photos). His bill was $350 plus materials. He finally advised me he charged $85 per hour. We settled on $250, which I thought was excessive, but I was glad the ordeal was over. Later that day, I went out to prime the replaced strip, only to find the vertical door frame abutting the threshold was dry rotted as well. Photos show rotted area, which I cleaned out. He either did not notice or did not bother to advise me. He came over the next morning to see the damage, and began by yelling that he did not appreciate my accusing him of not addressing the additional dry rot. Naturally, I have hired someone else to complete the job. I am a 74 year old woman, and if I did not have better things to do, I would consider reporting him to the CSLB for elder abuse. Anyone who hires him needs to insist on an upfront estimate of charges, guard against his chatter adding to the time charged, and make sure that his work has been completed satisfactorily.

You see, once upon a time, this lil Yelper received a quote from another electrician. This man, let's call him "Alex" quoted me the most reasonable price to install an additional electrical outlet in order to bring my early 20th century home into the modern era. What's more, Alex agreed to come within a week's time. "That's perfect," I thought, "this means the new outlet will be installed just in time for me to watch the newest episode of Mad Men on my new *flat screen tv* in its most opportune location, opposite my comfy, cozy, new sofa!" Whoaaa nelly, before any of you get all excited and ask, "Hey, why aren't you reviewing Alex, then? I mean, he facilitated you watching Mad Men right on time, dude!" -- I have some very bad news. "Alex the Electrician" never showed up that foggy, cold SF morning. This was much to my dismay, of course, as I'd rearranged my entire schedule AND took off work to meet him at my humble abode. Four angry messages, and countless desperate internet -- and Yelp -- searches later, I came across one friendly and efficient Mr. Hai Lin. Hai Lin deserves the four-star rating I gave him because: (1) He ACTUALLY picked up the phone when I called (imagine that, no voicemail!). (2) He gave me a reasonable estimate over the phone right then and there. (3) He agreed to come and help me out that day. (4) He was EARLY for the appointment. (5) He cleaned everything up and was respectful of my sweet lil pad. (6) He actually did a really nice job and was friendly to boot! So, that is how "Hai Lin Electric" came to be my electrician, and finally got posted onto Yelp. Thank you Hai Lin!

I wish I didn't have to offer this middling review. Harry did fix an outlet problem that I thought…read morewould require new hardware, but turns out was not required. However, I sense that other electricians could have achieved the same result. One star because I called him late one Sunday afternoon to schedule an appointment, and it turned out that he was available immediately that evening and quoted a price over the phone that was reasonable. It seems that he will work with your schedule, which is good. Oh god. Twenty minutes before our appointed time, I get a call from him and he asks whether I have a ladder. Hmmm, is this not an essential piece of equipment in an adequately prepared electrician's van? I did have one and told him to come over and use ours. Though he had expressly called to ask whether I had a ladder, and after mentioning its location in the house twice and even showing him where in the garage it was, he proceeded to remove his well-worn sandals, climb onto our dining table barefoot, plant his feet on the table linens and walk on top of the furniture! After insisting that he USE THE LADDER, he stayed on for another two hours and then informed us that he would have to come back the next day to finish the job because he didn't have the right tools. I have no doubt that he works earnestly, but no standing on our furniture with stinky feet, please And it took two days to install a two-pendant light fixture.
