I must have done something right in life to have found Alley Electric. There is nothing like waking up with the sun shining and looking forward to a hot cup of coffee. Unfortunately that did not happen, as the electrical appliances in my kitchen had no power No hot coffee for me. Enter Alley Electric. The office was closed as this happened on a week-end. Their message said that they would contact me on Monday. They did. Julio came out to the house on Monday and after checking the circuit breaker box and doing some tests on the inside outlets, quickly solved the problem. Julio was pleasant, very professional and smart. The cost of his expertise was very reasonable and he could have found ways to increase the cost but he did not. Needless to say I am very impressed with Alley Electric and I do not impress easily. Alina, the woman who with whom I spoke, was as nice as she could be, and I appreciate this attitude, especially in today's world. Alley Electric is an independently owned business, and I firmly believe that we should support these businesses if they deserve to be supported, and this business definitely deserves it. They have glowing reviews from others too. Phone: 510-573-0427 Email: Alleyelectric@comcast.net read more

We had a lot of electrical work done at our house in Fremont, CA (Niles District). The house was built in the 1940s so we needed to increase the amps to the house as well as grounding all the outlets and adding GFCI to some of them. The workers were responsible and courteous and we are very pleased with the work. read more

Fast service. I reached out on a Monday and they were able to come and fix the problem same day. Would hire again!

We had a great experience with Alley Electric. From start to finish, the company was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Omar did an excellent job with the installation--he was knowledgeable, efficient, and took the time to ensure everything was completed correctly. The quality of the work was outstanding, and the entire process went smoothly. read more

Best electricians in the East Bay! Westley, the owner and his two workers, Roger and Omar are a great team. We love the new LED can lights as it creates a comforting glow in our house. The workmanship and price was exactly what I was looking for. read more

I had Alley Electric come in to work on a long list of household projects from replacing light switches to installing light fixtures to adding garage lights and more. I won't hesitate to hire them again. I had 3 guys here for 8 hours who were professional, polite, friendly, and very good at what they do. I was especially impressed with the communication with Wes. Every email answered immediately! read more

Installing our new EV home charger. Happy to report that the whole process was without an issue. Wesley came by the same day I reached out and quoted us for the job. Omar was out a few days later to do the installation. He was early which was nice. Job took about 2 hrs to complete, when he left all was neat and tidy. I highly recommend Alley Electric. read more

Alley Electric analized an electrical problem that we have been trying to solve for several years. They tested several components and found the solution. read more

We had a great experience with Wesley and his crew! This is the second project we've had Alley Electric help us with in our 1938 home, and our expectations were met yet again. From start to finish, communication and scheduling was simple and straightforward, and Alley yet again did great work at a very reasonable price. We won't hesitate to contact Alley Electric for future needs! read more

Alley Electric changed our antiquated and out of code circuit breaker, installed recessed lightings, installed GCFI outlets. My wife and I are truly amazed with the service and the quality of Alley Electric's work. The price quote given to us was very reasonable, and they will not add on anything extra that you did not request just to bump up your costs. Highly recommend. Thanks again, Alley Electric. read more

Replaced florescent fixtures with LED bulbs. Quick response, efficient service, and fair price.

We have hired Alley Electric 3-4 times to do the electrical work for a kitchen remodel and solar/EV set up (at two different houses), and always come back to using them because they're great to work with and always do a great job. Wesley and his team are both professional and personable, and take the extra effort to do the job well. read more

Wesley and his team (Daniel and Omar) did a whole-house rewire to replace remaining knob-and-tube and other ungrounded wiring in our "new" 100+ year old house in Oakland. We got 3 other quotes for the work, and they varied significantly in price. Alley was the most affordable, and it came with the added bonus that we found Wesley the most down-to-earth and likable. He and his wife Alina make a great team --they're somewhat old school, and came by the house several times to collect our signed contract and payments. The work took 2 weeks (10 days, Monday-Friday) for our 1800sqft home (+ unfinished basement and garage), which was about 3 days longer than predicted, but it was a big job! Daniel and Omar are two of the hardest working people we've come across. There were several days that they arrived at 7:30am and didn't leave until after 9pm. But whatever it took, they got the job done in a reasonable amount of time, were patient (especially when I was looking over their shoulders out of sheer curiosity) and communicative, and had good insights on what made sense (where lights/switches/etc should go) when we needed their opinions. Finally, they were both super pleasant to be around (which is important when they're spending so much time in your space!) Two weeks after the job wrapped up, we actually asked Wesley to come back to put in a few more outlets and 6 recessed lights in our living room. The guys did a great job again. We're so happy we did this --we absolutely love our lights, and are really relieved we did the work before closing up the walls. There's no doubt in my mind that we would work with Alley again, should a need arise. read more

Excellent job installing a smart thermostat and a smart doorbell, the second project carried out by Alley Electric at my house. Excellent communication and execution from start to finish. Highly recommended. read more

Super quick response, had my new outlet and circuit installed the day after I reached out

While trying to schedule a visit for a quote, the lady was super rude and short. No effort was made from her end to accommodate. read more

Wesley, thank you so much for your prompt and through service. Wiring, installation and configuration went well. Very happy with the quality of the work. read more

I worked with Alley Electric to bring my 200amp panel up to code and have it inspected by the city. They were prompt, communicative, and knowledgeable. They did a great job on a tight timeline. I would definitely recommend working with Alley Electric. read more

Idk yet... They came out before Memorial Day to look at the work needing to be done, and was suposed to get back to me with an estimate. But no word yet... i guess they didn't want to do it ‍. read more

We have used Alley Electric and Wes for years at our house for upgrades and electrical repairs. Always done a great and thorough job. Wes checks in on the work through out the day. Recently we had a days worth of work, numerous updates throughout the house. The crew worked late and got it all done. Really appreciated the dedication. Thanks again read more

I hired Alley Electric for a complete upgrade (getting rid of old Knob & Tube wiring) and new panel. They also provided troubleshooting and problem-solving for interior and exterior lighting that no longer worked. They replaced some fixtures, and repaired others, as needed. As long as the ceiling was to be opened up, I also had them install recessed lighting in my living room. Wesley was very easy to work with and has a great crew. They were always on time, pleasant to have in my home all day, and stayed late to clean up before leaving. Be aware that this type of project creates a lot of dust (they warned me, but it was still a lot!). Also they do not patch or paint the holes in the walls that are left from such a project. Since this was explained before hand, I made arrangements for painting after the work was completed. I highly recommend this company -- very responsive, very skilled, and fair pricing. read more

Wesley was courteous and professional. He solved our electrical problem easily. He was able to explain what caused the problem and how to prevent it in the future. He was on time and called before heading over to provide his ETA. I would not hesitate to call Alley Electrical for any future electrical needs. read more

Wesley and crew were fast, clean, affordable and did an excellent job. We had a bunch of little projects which needed an expert hand. Wesley and his crew helped us update our track lighting system, replace another track system with can lights and replace a switch. I was nervous that our dining room light kept flickering and I was afraid it was a wiring issue but thankfully Wesley told me it was just the old dimmer switch that needed replacing. He was right and we avoided a costly wiring job. He also helped me order the correct parts which the lighting store was not able to figure out since our track light system included a ceiling fan. I would highly recommend Alley Electric. read more

Had the kitchen light fixture, bedroom fan/light and thermostat replaced. The quote was reasonable and the work was done professionally and on time. Will definitely use them again. read more

Really confused about all the good reviews. We worked with Alley Electric back in December. The guy who came over to give the quote seemed very knowledgeable, but the guys he sent to actually do the work were AWFUL. Where do I begin... 1) Messiness. Even though I specifically asked for them to leave their shoes off, they kept them on and tracked mud through the carpet. Also, they did not clean up their mess from cutting into the wall, so after they left I had to vacuum up after them. Oh, and they left tools everywhere and an entire box of equipment lol. 2) Incompetence. They kept forgetting to do one part of the job (Ethernet cable installation) and had to come back multiple times because they either forgot to bring the right equipment or couldn't figure out how to get it working. They also clearly did not want to do this portion of the contract. 3) Skill. They freaking installed the wrong type of outlet boxes. We *told them very specifically* that we're installing backsplash against a certain area (despite what the owner said in response, he wasn't there lol), and that requires an outlet box that moves in and out of the wall to accommodate the tile. Well, they forgot yet again. So now we have one box that moves and another that doesn't. We'll probably have to rip out the dry wall, redo the box, and repair it. Ridiculous. At the end of the day, they basically created more work and cost for us than not. read more

Rewired an older home. Excellent work, on time and courteous. I'd hire them again in a flash

Alley Electric workers were prompt, polite, respectful and skilled. They completed the work ahead of the allotted time, cleaned up after themselves, which was a pleasant surprise. I would book them again if needed. Carol F. read more

Not sure why this place got so many good reviews on yelp?? Apparently it is really hard to schedule free estimation. Not flexible at all to schedule appointment in Fremont although it shows within the service zone on Yelp. First they said they can schedule but only at 7AM otherwise they asked me to find another company?? Apparently my small project does not worth their time. There are other provide free estimations on Yelp I would definitely go there instead to save the hassles. read more

Alley Electric is the model of what every small business should strive to become. I needed fluorescent lights repaired. The owner Wesley was very prompt and helpful in answering all my questions and accommodating in setting the appointment. Rogelio was the person who did the work. He was prompt, very personable and meticulous about his work. I highly recommend Alley Electric for quality, friendly and reliable service. read more

Time to do a review for something I've been putting off for awhile....Figure while shelter-in-place it was a good time to get an inspection on my electrical, add some outlets and finally, get things up to code. Decided on Alley Electric as my sister had used them upon referral from her neighbors. They all had a great experience (and of course, after checking Yelp!) knew i wouldn't need to worry. 1st visit: ESTIMATE Wesley, the owner came over to give me an estimate: additional outlets, new LED lighting for the garage, and to correct some questionable switches/outlets. Arrived as promised, answered my questions, mentioned he would email the estimate and was out in 30mins. Estimate emailed, scheduled an appointment and agreed upon a date which was simple. 2nd visit: REQUESTED ITEMS Chris came out to do the work along with Wilson his assistant ...both arrived when promised, efficient, friendly and started the all day job of installing outlets, replacing the garage fixtures, checked all outlets (to ensure they were grounded), did an inspection and made recommendations. Chris was extremely helpful and approachable with answering any questions. 3rd visit: FIXING RECOMMENDED ITEMS This was for work that was recommended...not an inexpensive job but definitely items that needed to be done for peace of mind and to bring items up-to-code. This was another all day job with 3 people working this day...Chris lead this effort along with Wilson and Jordan to assist...all were very professional, and efficient. Overall, happy that I used Alley Electric to do the job as coordinating and getting clarification on items (via email) was fairly easy. Down the road there may be a 4th visit of upgrading the panel in the garage but that can wait...I can't vouch if they were the most competitive in pricing but mainly went with them as they were highly recommended and the great reviews on Yelp! ;) Thanks Wesley, Chris and crew Note: Unfortunately, a small hole (size of a dime) was made by mistake on my wood floor which they patched...fortunately, it's along the wall and not too noticeable...mistakes do happen and appreciate they pointed it out vs trying to hide it. read more

Alley Electric - Getting electrical inspected and up to code. - Electricians Near Me - Lafayette, California

Thank you, Alley Electric, so much for your electrician's excellent work today with installing my outside light fixture, diagnosing and repairing the light fixture in my office. His work was exceptional! I will be using your service again for any future electrical needs. read more

Great team to work with, highly recommend! Team always does thorough prejob assessments, followed by professional and timely execution. Also, very friendly, always taking the time to explain status or choice options in detail. Will definitely hire again for future work. read more

If anyone needs skilled, reliable people to do electrical work around their house, I can absolutely recommend Alley Electric... They have done several jobs for us here (Fremont, CA), but today was the Big Job!! We have a 50+ year old house, and all the outlets were 2-prong old-school outlets when we moved in... well, now we have tons of modern electronics in our house, and things have been unstable for some time, to say the least!! So I had them come back, and upgrade four of our heaviest-use outlets to 20-amp circuits, with their own breakers... it took them all day, but they did a superb job; everything is beautifully, neatly, professionally done... as an example, the light bulb in my office lamp no longer dims when I turn on our 1500W heater (as it did before)... and hopefully our furnace will no longer pop its circuit breaker, as it had done sometime over the past year... Wesley is the owner, but the workers today were Daniel and another whose name (sadly) I just don't recall... but they sure know their work... Thank you again, Alley Electric!! read more

We wanted to change 3 pendant lights outs and install recessed lighting in there place as well as adding recessed lighting for our living room, dining room, and entry. I gave alley 5 stars because the price was good, the electricians that did the work were very friendly, and the job was completely perfectly. The installation was very clean and they took time to cover our furniture and did their best to contain the dust while drilling Sheetrock. read more

Had them come to finish some work and Wesley was very friendly and offered same service after coming for a quote

I have used Alley Electric to install electrical outlets in my garage so that I can charge my EV. They are wonderful, courteous, and do a fantastic job. When the outlet stopped working, I called and they were able to come out 2 days later, accommodating my schedule, and showed me that I needed to flip the switch on the panel to off then flip it back to on. They installed a new thermostat for me also. Great service. Great prices. Always prompt. I highly recommend them and will continue to use their services when I need electrical work done...and since my house is 120 years old I will be seeing them often! read more

Wesley and team did both interior and exterior electrical work for my house. The guys coming in to do the work are very methodical and professional. They are thorough and see and fix problems even if it is not exactly part of the contract and make sure to do the job right. For example my circuit breaker is old and had an overloaded wire that they noticed. They informed me and just went ahead and fixed it. It reduced one possible fire risk. Alina who manages the paperwork is super efficient and quick in responding. I was able to find other guys out there doing electrical work on the cheaper side but I saw they don't have any quality in their work and often work without carrying sufficient insurance. I think Alley electric is excellent value because you get good quality, long lasting work. I called Wesley for three separate jobs so far at my house. I will call him again if I need electrical work done in future. read more

Electricity went out in one room, none of the ceiling lights were working and we tried flipping every breaker switch before giving up and looking on Yelp. Wow, a true 5 star business, cannot recommend Alley and Wes enough. Communication was on point with very fast replies and a clear window for when Wes would arrive as well as a courtesy call when on the way. Wes got right down to business with a very fair quote and once we agreed on his price he immediately got to work professionally and quickly. It was clear he had all the tools and equipment necessary to fix the majority of problems people and businesses would have in their home. Thank you Wes for getting our electricity working again, it was a great experience and we wish more business were like yours! read more

Alley upgraded our electric panel for air conditioning and we couldn't be happier with the quality of the work as well as how well the experience was with Wes and his crew. They did really clean work and have a good relationship with the city inspectors, it was all very fast, efficient, and painless. The team is also nice and we enjoyed their company for the couple of days they were on site. Now that the AC company is here they complimented alleys work on securing the panel and how easy it was for them to work with. Thank you so much! read more

I got several bids for upgrading my main electric panel and installing a EV charging receptacle. I wanted my new panel to be semi-flush, with the mast to the roof running inside the wall as my old panel was installed. I received several bids from other electrical contractors that were less expensive but they wanted to install a wall mounted panel with the mast running up the outside of my wall. For some reason they did not want to run the mast inside the wall. This would mean the mast would be visible on my wall and I would have a new mast hole through my roof, requiring the old mast hole to be patched. Man am I glad I went with Alley Electric. Wesley and his team were fantastic. They took care of all the required permits and inspections. They arrived on time and cleaned up the work site upon leaving each day. Wesley also coordinated PGE and Alameda County Public Works on the day the panels were switched out. I highly recommend Alley Electric. read more
