He came to install an outdoor outlet for my sprinkler system and noticed that another outdoor outlet had been installed incorrectly by a previous company.

I truly appreciate the extra effort and would definitely hire them again.

I have again used yelp projects to find an electrician this time. I got quotes from 4 different…read moreelectricians and JC was the only one to offer to come out next day. I didn't put much in my yelp request but the other vendors quoted me higher prices anyway without an evaluation first. It started with a light not working and ended up needing a light switch replacement and rewire of the connectors to have the right wattage. Came out to $300 which was reasonable considering others quoted more for less work. JC was very professional and showed me every detail before performing any work. He stopped and asked before making a change that would cost more and I feel much safer with his electrical work. I will use him again in the future.

When I contacted Caleb he was extremely responsive came over to my house to evaluate my project and provided me an estimate as well as applied for a City of Alameda permit in a timely manner. The work was completed in one day and Caleb was extremely professional and helpful. It is rare these days to work with any contractor who is both responsive and offering the proper guidance. Now that the job is completed I am very pleased with the outcome of my new main electrical panel and have had absolutely no issues whatsoever. If you are looking for a solid company please contact Caleb at Island Electric in Alameda, CA. I look forward to working with Caleb on any future electrical needs and will refer anyone I come across to Island Electric. Caleb definitely exceeded my expectations! Thank you Caleb! JP

Instead of immediately pushing an expensive on-site visit, Jeff took the time to FaceTime with us, walked us through what to look for, and helped us safely troubleshoot the issue in real time. They were calm, knowledgeable, and focused on solving the problem and not upselling. This was especially appreciated because several other electricians we contacted either didn't respond or immediately tried to charge ridiculous amounts without even understanding the situation. It's rare to find someone who is both technically solid and genuinely helpful, especially in an urgent moment. We felt informed, supported, and not taken advantage of. Highly recommend Rhonda and Jeff!! Highly recommend if you're looking for an electrician who actually cares and operates with integrity.

Rigo did a great job with the 3 things I had done: replacing an electrical panel, replacing 2 light fixtures, and installing a smoke alarm. He was on time, knowledgable, and efficient. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest option around but with something like this, quality and experience matters and they did a great job and handle permits and such. They did exactly what I asked them to do and were responsive over email and able to ask the exact questions they needed which made things seamless. This is not necessarily a bad thing but they could have probably done some kind of "walk through" around the place and found some additional work for me. Upselling is obviously not always a great practice but in my case, there were some things that I wish I had done and I think they could have suggested them and left it up to me to say yes/no to during the initial inspection. For example my kitchen could definitely use at least 1 additional outlet, I should have probably replaced a 3rd light, and so on. I do respect that they don't try to take you on a ride but since it is probably efficient to do things all at once, may have been helpful to discuss (this was also my bad for not noticing these things before). Rigo did a bunch of smaller things that made a big difference too like taking out the packaging for the lights and the old ones as well as the old electrical panel, clearly labeling all the switches very neatly which was not well done before, answering my questions and explaining things in a way that I (someone with little knowledge about most of this stuff) would understand.

We hired Max Electric for a full knob-and-tube rewire on our home, along with several other…read moreelectrical projects, and the experience was excellent from start to finish! The project did take longer than initially expected due to delays outside of their control, but the quality of the work never wavered. From the beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. They explained what needed to be done, why it mattered, and what to expect at each step, which made a potentially stressful process feel very manageable. Raushan, the project manager, was great to work with and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He was responsive, organized, and always made sure we were informed and comfortable with the plan. Alex, one of the technicians, worked incredibly hard during the rewire and clearly took pride in his work. Bek, another technician, truly went above and beyond - paying close attention to the details and making sure everything was done perfectly, not just "good enough." Beyond the rewire, they handled multiple additional electrical upgrades and fixes around the house, all done cleanly and correctly. What really stood out was trust. Having a crew in your home for a major electrical project isn't easy, but we always felt confident that they had our best interests in mind. No corner-cutting, no unnecessary upsells, just solid, high-quality work. The crew was respectful, showed up when they said they would, and stayed focused until the job was fully complete. I highly recommend Max Electric and would absolutely hire them again!

Darius's was the second-lowest bid and the best value (the "cheapest" would have required costly wall repairs and painting). He suggested remote-controlled switches to minimize opening walls. This was smart, time-saving, and it worked. His crew arrived on time and finished in five days. They were courteous, tidy, and communicated clearly about brief power interruptions, which was important because one of us was working from home at times. The estimate matched the final cost exactly, except for a few additions we requested, which were priced fairly. We needed no wall repairs afterward, and they cleaned so well you'd never know electricians had been there. Everything works perfectly, and the city signed off the permit with no additional work. Professional, transparent, minimally disruptive, accurate pricing, and meticulous, Darius and his team were outstanding. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.
