After placing a call and message to Karl, I got a kind and very responsive return call where I able to discuss my poor garage lighting, new outside camera light installation and desire to remove all exposed wiring in the garage (installed by the previous homeowner that violated the National Electrical Code). Karl Sherry arrived on-site the same day as our initial phone call to assess the project scope and develop a fixed price project cost. We agreed (in person) on the project scope of my requirements and Karl's competitive proposal and his recommendations for lighting fixture product selection, layout and wiring clean-up and new construction. I was able to clearly share in advance my project acceptance criteria. We agreed on a same week installation date and time (that was promised that Karl would reconfirm work date/time). Karl Sherry 1) was responsive to my project, 2) obtained and installed guaranteed reliable maintenance-free LED lighting fixtures with ceiling layout recommendations to provide sufficient lumen intensity to eliminate all shadows in the garage, 2) confirmed ARO with me same week)work date/time, 3) worked on high ladders to remove non-compliant wiring and install new equipment per National Electrical Code regulations, 4) mounted, installed, tested and aimed new outside floodlight and security camera coverage/best image) (meeting and addressing all of my requirements using a 'live installation/see the results" discussion with me (that the flood light and camera were positioned from my standpoint), and 5) delivered all material, design and labor on-time related to the proposed service based on our mutually agreed fixed bid format. I found a Nevada County based electrical contractor who is honest, reliable, responsive, competitive and kind! An electric contractor who really listens to their Customer. A contractor who understands the value and results of a Customer who insists on hiring a "local business" who is CA State licensed contractor. Karl Sherry really cares about Customer satisfaction and delivered craftsman quality workmanship and Customer satisfaction (along with kind words with me during the Project). I will definitely rehire Karl Sherry and his Team anytime to do my electrical work. read more

A great business. Knowledgeable, efficient and easy to converse with and trust. Would use again if I needed electric work.

Karl has done a wonderful job with many projects around the house, including installing an EV charger. Very nice guy too!

I left a message on his web site, or this one, on Friday am. He called back in the afternoon and came to address the problem e on Saturday morning. It was not a b ig problem but , boy, did it feel good to get it fixed quickly. And on a Saturday! read more

I had called up another company but they did not call me back for 5 days, so I called Karl Sherry Electric. The guy who answered the phone was Larry and he immediately told me he has another appointment in Alta Sierra, but he might be able to squeeze me in. In and hour Larry was here and fixed my electrical problem, and did so with a fair price as well. They have my future biz for sure. read more

I have been waiting on Electricians for over 2 months. I wish I would have reached out to Karl Sherry sooner. They initially gave me a 2 week timeline which was totally understandable in this COVID crazy time. 3 days later they called and said they would be in the area later that day and asked if I would be home for them to take a look. They arrived about 45 minutes later and gave me a 2 hour estimate and the tech (Larry) was super confident in that proposal. He also said that his day opened up and that he could do it now! After an hour and half he was finished and everything was working again!!! Super communicative and super smart. I would recommend these guys again and again! read more

Responded quickly. Good communication. On time. Work was completed on time and within a few days. Would definitely recommend.

Does fine work. Didn't return my call after a few days but otherwise helpful; did previous work quickly and professionally.

Had an emergency electrical problem Friday morning, and it had to be fixed before that evening. Found Karl Sherry on this website, so I called. He answered in person, and after explaining what the problem was, he said he would leave another job nearby and come over. He came within 45 minutes and the electrical problem was solved by him within an hour. Everyone was happy that evening with the lighting results. Thanks Karl. read more

Very quick to respond, schedule, and complete our project. Took the time to make sure everything worked perfectly before calling the job complete. read more

Big shout out to KS Electric (Karl Shelly & Larry) for going above & beyond, highly recommend them, no job to big or small, they get it done, oh and they love dogs! read more

Karl has done multiple jobs at my shop & home in Nevada City over the past few years like new outlets, fan replacements, new lights & new breaker units installed. He is awesome & has been doing this a long time so he knows what he is doing! He will get the job done & do it right! His team is not afraid to get dirty under your house or building if need be! I would highly recommend him for any type of electrical work you may need! read more

After talking a good game the company never showed for the appointment, never called to cancel, or return any of my subsequent calls.

My husband and I tried to change out the lights in our kitchen and the wiring was really weird. We worked on it from 8 am until about 6 pm before we gave up (after we blew out a light switch). The next day, we decided to call a professional. Karl squeezed us in the same day. He and his partner came in and had everything fixed in 30 minutes. My husband and I were shocked that it was so easy for them. They also fixed our three-way light that had never worked before. The price was a fraction of what ABT had quoted me per hour of work. If we have any more electrical issues, I will definitely call Karl again. read more

Our experience with Karl Sherry Electric has been terrific. We had several problems in our new house. Several outlets to replace and many lights to change out. Larry was responsive, punctual and professional. We are happy to have an electrician to call that we can depend on. Very professional. read more

These guys rock! They came out to do some repairs - then a contractor messed something up, so I called them back and they quickly came out to re-fix things They're super responsive, courteous, helpful in explaining the issue(s) and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them. read more

I used Karl Sherry Electric for my remodel on an older run down home I purchased. Karl Sherry, the owner, is an extremely experienced electrician and offered great consultation on the overall project. His staff were efficient and organized and this made my remodel go very smoothly. I would highly recommend this company. . read more

When we needed the job bid and done correct they got it done on time and actually saved money.

Karl responded very quickly to an emergency I had (no water and mysteriously non-working lights). He was efficient, extremely knowledgeable and professional. He squeezed me in at the end of the day as he happened to be close by. There's a reason Karl is booked 6 months out... this guy is top drawer! Highly recommend. read more

Excellent service. Just what you need in an electrician. Reliable, trustworthy, honest and reasonable. Highly recommend.

Friendly, competent, prompt, reasonably priced professional. I recommend Karl and his assistant Larry for your electrical needs.

You can't do better than Karl Sherry Electric. I purchased a Tesla and needed a 50amp 240V outlet installed in my garage. It turns out my subpanel wouldn't accommodate it and had to be replaced. Karl and his crew got me exactly what I needed and I couldn't be more impressed. They were very professional, friendly and honest and the work performed was exemplary. It's clear Karl has had a lot of experience with Tesla charger installs and his advice proved to be invaluable. While here, I also had him service my Generac generator and once again, I was very pleased. Karl will be my "go to" for my electrical needs moving forward. Very highly recommended! read more
