    Mold and seperated caulking
    Emily L.

    The reason we went with Jim is due to his high ratings here on Yelp and recommendations on Nextdoor. Unfortunately our experience did not match the reviews and raves from neighbors. I had to have him come out 2 times. -The first time he came out to fix the caulking around our sink and granite countertop.The caulking on the sink seperated due to wetness and not removing the old caulking and the caulking on the countertop started lifting up so we had him come out another time. -The second time he came out he just layered on caulking on the sink in 2 minutes and left. Since he didn't dry the area well enough or remove the old caulking it molded. We ended up having to buy our own materials to recaulk the sink and countertop ourselves.

    Jim finishing up installing my gate opener to solar panel

    Jim came on time and he's very professional nice and patient I recommend him to all the people that are looking to fix anything In my situation Jim installed a solar panel, customed and modified to fit my fence and he was able to take on the job Too bad i cant give him more stars Thanks Jim! This is Mike on Landana

    This guy saved the day! It was 7:30 at night and no one would come out. It's hard to fined a reliable handyman these days. Especially at this time of the night. Jim was courteous, and ready to help. He was here in less then thirty minutes. Ready to save my tv! I had to have it fixed before morning. I couldn't leave and have it possibly fall and hurt my dog. Jim is my new go to for this kind of work. I couldn't recommend him enough.

    See all

    Yes however due to popularity I am currently scheduling the second week of December

I was in need of a licensed, capable, and highly rated electrician to replace a 44-year-old exhaust fan in the master bathroom of my condo. Checking Yelp, S&B Electric was one of the first I saw that matched my criteria. After reading many of the reviews, I submitted a request for quote through Yelp (late October or early November 2025). I received an automated text response with a list of questions to answer. I responded accordingly. Below is a timeline of subsequent communications: 11/03/25 - I sent a text to S&B requesting confirmation of receipt of my information. No response. 12/05/25 - I called and left a voice message 12/06/25 - I called Stewart directly and received an automated response stating, "I'll call you back." I replied, "Thank you." 12/06/25 - Stewart returned my call. During the conversation, he requested a photo of the existing fan. I obliged and immediately sent a picture. When I sent the picture, I received another automated response with the same questions I had received before. I completed them again in response. I received no confirmation of receipt. 12/10/25 - I sent a follow-up text to Stewart. No response. 12/17/25 - I called Stewart again, and again received an auto response, "I'll call you back." No call back happened. I put the entire project on hold for the next five or six months and focused on other things. During this time, I received no communication from Stewart or anyone else from S&B Electric. Always wanting to give people the benefit of the doubt, I decided to try one final time. On 5/06/26, I sent another request for quote through the form on the S&B Electric website and received an immediate automated response confirming receipt of my request. As of 5/13/26, I still had received NO RESPONSE. At this point, I had completely given up. I understand that many people had wonderful and positive experience with S&B Electric, and that is what I had based my initial decision off of. However, when a business or representative thereof fails to at least extend the courtesy of just replying to say they cannot, for whatever reason, accommodate a request for service, that non-response is equivalent to poor service overall. That said, since I cannot speak to the quality of their work, I must base my review off of the facts above. If the amount of stars is based on that, it would be 0/5. Consequently, I ended up working with another locally/minority owned/operated contractor, who not only provided exception service from initial call to intake to invoice, but they also got the job done in less than three hours and will be my contractor for all future electrical needs in my current home, and future home.

    Awesome experience with C. Bates Electric. Today they came out to replace our breaker. The price…read morewas a great value and the scheduling went smoothly thanks to Brittney E. Carlos was prompt, professional, explained what the problem was and did the job fast! He arrived at 8:56 AM and was out of our place at 9:28 AM. Things to note: they offer free estimates, but if you need troubleshooting like we did, the current rate is $200 the first hour and $100 per additional hour needed. If it's a simple fix like ours, you pay the troubleshooting cost plus any materials used. They were able to replace our breaker for us the same day as the scheduled diagnostic which was a great peace of mind for us. For more involved repairs, they provide an estimate before you give the okay to move forward. Their prices are more than fair for our area. Brittney's clear responses to my questions made me want to schedule with C. Bates Electric. I appreciated the transparency and professionalism. I reached out on Friday and they were able to get me in today (Tuesday morning). Tips: Pay with cash if you don't want or pay the misc fee - 4% Fee For Cards, ACH, Klarna, Cashapp, Or Venmo

    Loved my experience with these guys…read more Consultation to install a dedicated breaker from my panel for my bathroom fan was straightforward, pricing was fair.
