I have used his services over the last five plus years at my home and have received excellent customer service with jobs done right; the first time. I have referred him to clients and friends and continue to do so based on my positive experience. Danny knows his craft, manages expectations, communicates efficiently, and tells it like it is. It is my pleasure to endorse him.

I found Steven's company on yelp. I requested an estimate for main panel replacement. He was very…read moreresponsive, easy going and professional. Initially that is... Estimate came in quickly and was reasonable so I agreed to proceed to do the work. Steven did all the communicating with Southern California Edison and I was never cced on emails or looped in despite requesting to be. As replacement date neared I contacted steven a few days before to discuss details. He informed me the need to reschedule as too close to labor day. I said ok no problem. A few days before second replacement date Steven dropped by looked over the panel again and told me everything was on for 9/16/25 at 8am with SCE scheduled to come disconnect power with him completing the job same day and SCE to reconnect. Sounded great I made arrangement for the family to be out of the house all day. Long story short no one showed up, not steven not SCE. I called and texted steven multiple times, left voicemail with no response. I gave him 24 hours benefit of the doubt just in case something unforeseen occurred. Nothing. I finally reached out to SCE to see if I was ever on their schedule. I was told that I was scheduled both times and the electrician cancelled last minute both times . Most recently I was told that the electrician told SCE that he is not rescheduling and simply canceling with no intention of doing the job. Where was that communication with me? Steven, this has been one of the most unprofessional interactions I have been involved in. If the job was too big , too small, too medium, too complex, not complex enough, you are too busy, not busy enough all you had to do was say so. Instead you wasted my time for over one month and I am left having to do this all over again with a different company. I would never recommend this company to anyone. I have never spent the time leaving a bad review on yelp but this one was warranted.

We had a fantastic experience with Steven Gratigny Electric. Steven reached out to me shortly after…read moreI requested a quote for adding a new outlet to our bathroom. His communications were prompt and professional and he came by the following day to give an estimate. The estimate was fair and Steven had time to do the job right then! The job was complete, and done well, within less than 36 hours after I submitted the quote request. We will definitely be going straight to Steven Gratigny Electric for any future work we need done, as well as recommending the company to anyone who asks!

While it was higher than the others I spoke with, I liked his attention to detail. Julio and Santiago came yesterday to do the job. The job presented some challenges, running conduit through the attic and "under grounding" from the house to the hot tub. Both kept a positive, can do attitude and remained cheerful and positive the entire day. Julio explained everything he did and offered great options, when there was a better way to proceed. In short, they were great and I would highly recommend J&I if you need a good electrician. We will be using them again for our future electrician needs.

This has officially become our go-to supercharger stop whenever we're in Carpinteria. There are…read moreplenty of charging stalls, so we've never had to wait long. What really makes this spot great though is the location because it's right in the middle of a bunch of good food options. Our favorite? Dargan's Irish Pub, just downstairs from the parking lot. It's super convenient, and when they first open, it's nice and quiet, perfect if you want to get a little work done, sip a drink, or just chill with some apps while your car powers up. Honestly, it's more than just a charging stop now because it's part of our road trip ritual.

Downtown Santa Barbara has FINALLY stepped up its game and got a Tesla Supercharger. Woohoo! It is…read morelocated in the public city Ortega lot #10 at Ortega and Anacapa on the third level. As with almost all city lots here, it's free for the first 75 minutes, then $2 per hour there after. There are 12 charging ports with speeds up to 250 kWh. The garage is half a block from downtown's State Street with Paseo Nuevo and all the shopping/dining options. I have a feeling it's going to be a busy option since there's usually only 3-5 available chargers on a Saturday. Great for the city and drivers!

From start to finish, our experience was phenomenal. Every still staff we encountered was courteous and professional! We had a few meetings to go over what we wanted then requested five paint samples to choose from. After choosing a color, we waited for the rain to pass and the work got started. Our house was properly prepped and ready for paint. It took about a week and a half to complete everything. I appreciated that the team always cleaned up their stuff at the end of each day and never left trash around. The finished product blew me away and I've never been happier about how my house looks. I also feel that we got everything we paid for and more. If you're needing a painter, i would highly recommend these guys! Absolutely amazing.

Jason Price's Circle Painting employed Uriel and Maybelline, the best two-person crew we've ever seen. They did a perfect, thorough job of turning the house into a dream Alhambra that could rival the Santa Barbara County courthouse downtown -- perhaps America's most beautiful building. At Jason's suggestion, the trim is a blue-green I liked, called "Santa Barbara blue." The painters were hard-working, dedicated and careful, even while reaching an impossible, dizzying corner high on the upper story. I could not recommend any company more highly. We have the hacienda I have always wanted.
