Hammer Electric saved the project! I had an Issue with an Electrician who had a family emergency and had to leave the project. I called around to find someone to finish the project in the time we had left. In talking with Hammer Electric they were able to maneuver their schedule and make it happen. They showed up on time and not only completed the job but noticed a few other things that needed correction. Their work was professional, clean and organized. They stayed within the agreed upon budget, even with the corrections! Hammer Electric did save the project and next time they will be the first call I make! read more

I've used Hammer Electric for many years and they have always delivered. Very responsive and they do great work at a good price

I was up grading my garage to a living room for my car. Hammer's guys were quick, thorough and super efficient. Super polite too.

If I could give them ZERO stars I would...I have discovered so many more mistakes I REALLY wish I would have NEVER called them. My amateur work was correct when what they did was wrong...CONFIRMED by several electricians and past VP of IBEW board of directors. Here is what I sent my contractor that made Hammer charge me $3k less than what they invoiced and my contractor said he has NEVER seen that kind of discount...it's because Mugs KNOWS he should not have charged me a dime for the shady work they did...SMH... 1 - Work was done without prior permission. The majority of the work done was done without permission. The agreement was based on Miles making an extensive list of what needed to be done. We went over it and he let me know it would take 2-3 days. I agreed with Mugs via text on 8/6/24 for two guys at $225 an hour for 2-3 days max. 2 - When I discovered they ripped out the entire electrical panel without permission I about lost my mind. I am attaching the invoice from Roman which has been paid in full. All of this work has now been destroyed and not put back together. This does not include the 12-18 hours of my time. This should be deducted from this invoice as the work was already completed and now needs to be completed again. A. If they would have had to common decency to ask me about this I would have absolutely refused. There were at max 2 holes in the panel with more than 3 wires. I would have very easily fixed it myself. 3 - Outlets were removed without my permission. Six in total in the upstairs bathroom alone and two in the downstairs bathroom. 4 - When I walked in one morning I noticed the wire had been cut from the dining room to the outside outlet. I asked about it and was told that it needed to be separate from the dining room. When I asked how this would be done I was told "I'm not sure exactly, you should talk to Miles." Miles never came to talk to me. The next morning it was still cut. When you left the wire was done back in the exact way it was before you cut it. So not only are you invoicing me for work that didn't need to be done but you are also charging me for materials and labor to replace something that was cut by you that did not need to be fixed. And if it did it wasn't fixed by Hammer, they just put it back to where they found it, unlike the panel box unfortunately. 5 - You are invoicing me for 1.5 hours of Miles time for counting your inventory of what you unnecessarily used during the work that you did, that is highly unprofessional and irregular. You should know your inventory before and after the job you don't charge someone for coming back to count, especially when items used were items I already had, for example staples. I also have a bag of wasted wire that Miles specifically told me he "reused my wire" and that "we aren't charging you for wire we used what you had" But I see you actually ARE charging for wire on the invoice. There are many other small things I won't complain about and although I feel very violated as you know I am still willing to pay them the 2 days of work that we agreed upon and I think that is more than fair considering they will not guarantee this work (as Miles put it "I will guarantee what I did") We both know how that will go...PLUS I already paid Roman to do the work they did without authorization. Now I will have to pay again to have it put back together. I didn't touch the read more

While I am out of town in the Sierras rebuilding a couple of homes that got smashed in the snowstorm Hanmer Electric took care of me in my 1890s Victorian in Santa Cruz thank you for all the locals who recommended me to them read more

I needed to get an outlet installed in my crawlspace for my brand-new sump pump, and Hammer Electric came recommended by my plumber, Cimarelli's. Mugs knows his stuff and took the time to discuss the options and best way (and location) to install the outlet. He gave more care than other pros have done for much larger jobs. He treated me respectfully and also charged much less than other electricians I'd talked to. I also got lucky that he was able to fit me in on short notice. Overall, best experience I've had with an electrician in Santa Cruz. read more

My generator went out suddenly recently. Mugs Hammer responded in very timely manner and advised me on what services to expect from a state certified licensed electrician. He gave an enormous amount of information on home portable generators. He is professional, courteous and an extremely skillful electrician. Extremely reliable. Thank you Mr. Hammer for all of your support. A real asset to the community. Don Mitchner read more

The BEST! I have used Hammer Electric for over 10 years. I have always received excellent service and lasting work. Today was another fine example of their quality. 'Miles' returned my call the same day and arrived as scheduled one day later. He arrived today. on time, and I gave him a long list of what I needed. He started immediately. He made a list of what I wanted. ran to get the fixtures..etc and got working . He completed most of the work in a half day . It was s LONG list, and will return next week. This is just another great experience with a quality business!OUTSTANDING ! read more

Hammer Electric installed a dedicated 240-volt power source in my garage for EV charging. Trouble-free installation. They did a great job.

They were able to send someone next day, allowed me to arrange the appointment via text, showed up on time, were friendly and professional, fairly quick, and explained the problem to me and how they were going to fix it. I would definitely use them again. read more

Mugs and the crew did a great job. They were prompt, professional and priced the work straight up. I would definitely hire them again. read more

Hammer Electric was able to walk me through a diagnostic evaluation of my electrical issue over the phone - had me text them pictures - and walked me through a fix that fixed the issue. (Two outlets on different sides of the house not working.) Would not accept payment for their time - will definitely use them in the future. Very professional and supportive....and they fixed the problem! read more

Our power went out in our laundry room. We checked our power box, flipped what we thought were the right switches but no luck. We called Hammer Electric and talked to Mugs. He guided us to the right switch over the phone and power was restored. Mugs was nice enough to waive his fee! We'll definitely use Hammer Electric when the time comes. read more

Had a good experience with Hammer Electric. They came out and diagnosed the problem and fixed it. I had several other electrical contractors come out that said they would diagnose the problem but instead came out and tried to sell me as the only way to fix things is a brand new panel and wiring for the whole house. Granted the wiring is old and fuse box is old but I needed the current issue fixed, to restore things to normal. The issue turned out to be a blown main fuse. The thing I appreciated about Hammer Electric was their straightforwardness and honesty. They even came out as soon as they could even though they were busy. I would recommend giving Mugs a call, he got the job for me where others could not. read more

Appreciated the timely response to my request. Even though they were busy (good!), I had a small project so they were able to fit me in. Miles figured out the issue with my lights quickly, very kindly explained it to me & fixed! Thank you! read more

Mr. Hammer have quickly responded to our call and help to repair electric panel outside of the house, he worked hard and did very good job, we are very satisfy his work. read more

When we remodeled our home, I asked Hammer Electric to use his judgement & place lights wherever he thought they should go. The interior designer came through to choose wall colors & tile, & she looked around & asked who the "lighting designer" was Not only is our artwork beautiful highlighted, but everything was tastefully done. When they were through, you never would have known 6 electricians were in our home! Hammer Electric is courteous, neat, honest, organized, and reasonable. read more

Ron is an absolutely stand-up guy who will give you a fair price for the electrical work you need done and will complete the job with the quality that comes from his experience. We hired him for a little bit of electrical work not too long ago, which took care of cleaning up some safety issues. Figuring that the work would take a day (and prepared to pay for it) he said he had three hours of work to do. So I threw another small project his way and the whole things was done for less than I'd set aside for just the original work. We recently received a frightening and unrealistic bid from a general contractor for some additional work, including electrical, and discovered that the electrical bid was written to scare the crap out of us, making it sound like our home was unsuitable to live in and would burn down at any moment. We called in Ron Hammer to review the original bid. He pointed out the places where there were code violations that needed to be brought up to spec and also where the original contractor's bid was absolute rubbish. Ron's bid came in at less than a third of this "electrical engineer from Felton with forty-five years of experience". It was still for a substantial sum of money, but it was clear that Ron wasn't out to swindle anyone. read more

Mugs and his team were great. We had limited time before my renter would move in, but Mugs worked with us to make it happen. He upgraded our electric service from 100 A to 200A, fixed code issues, and added more outlets- all in one day. It was a short turnaround requiring getting all the materials and managing the crew, and it all went seamlessly. great job. read more

A friend recommend Ron Hammer Electric. She said he did a fantastic job and was reasonable. One of his workers came today and my friend was right. The guy was efficient, focused, did a great job, didn't make a mess, he was easy to talk to about some questions I had, and the bill was reasonable. That guarantees them top of the list for my next electrical crisis. I've already given his name out to 2 people. It was a very positive experience. read more
