Roberts Electric Company - 25 Consecutive Years Earning the Diamond Certified Award - Electricians Near Me - Oakland, California

The electrician arrived on time. I explained my situation to him. He was very attentive and knowledgeable. He replaced the old lights with new ones and helped me choose two more lights that I needed. The cost of his service was reasonable. read more

They rebuilt our circuit breaker box with new breakers, cleaned up bad wires, even lubed something I can't explain. House lights don't blink anymore. Old breaker was arcing And actually sizzling. Scary. System runs like a new house , even with 1964 wiring. No blinking or fading. Fans and appliances run at top efficiency, we can sleep well at night. Labor about 125.00 hour. Worth it!!! read more

Ezra the electrician was knowledgeable and efficient and did not open our wall above the countertop (yay!). Other electricians have left us with holes in the drywall or stucco to refinish ourselves. Never at Robert's Electric ! All electricians we have had come out from Robert's Electric - outlet replacement, ceiling fan hookup, canned ceiling lights - have always been efficient and reliable. Admin was very efficient and professional (reminder/confirmation call would have been helpful though, especially since I got a weird message that the phone line was unavailable when I called at 8:30 am and Google said business was supposed to be open by then). read more

One of the best electrical contractors and resources for any electrician work in the area. Highly recommended. I've been working with RECO for years on a variety of jobs, large and small and they ALWAYS deliver and are the epitome of professional. read more

Very professional and fair pricing for a somewhat complicated fixture installation. Scheduling was easy and technician arrived early. Will definitely use again. read more

Zack was very prompt and personable. He quickly disgnosed my problem and fixed it. I will definitely call him for any future needs and will recommend him to neighbors and friends read more

They are a local family-owned business that has been around for a long time. They are very professional and have excellent technicians.

Excellent service. A knowledgeable technician from Robert's was able to diagnose and repair my problem for a reasonable price.

Roberts Electric installed an EV charger for me. They were great! Informative at time of estimate, itemized everything they would provide, and followed through with everything promised. City permit took awhile but as soon as it was approved, they arrived and got the charger and an additional outdoor water resistant plug installed and swapped out another plug that was not to code. Easy to work with, professional and quick! Highly recommend Daniel, Javier and the whole Roberts Electric crew! read more

STILL WAITING WAY OVERPRICED don't contact you back, I don't know how these clowns got diamond certified ! charged me 150.00 to come and fix a outlet plug for my dryer .took everything apart and said they needed parts (new 30 amp breaker, new plug for the dryer, and a new outlet) one week now and haven't heard back yet. piss poor costumer service BIG ZERO for there rating from me !!! so I payed 150.00 for them to not do anything but take s*** apart Just a heads up GET SOMEONE ELSE TO DO YOUR WORK FOR YOU!!! read more

Robert's Electric & Team came to the rescue! We had a situation take place after the recent storm; however, Amanda (Office Personnel) & Joe (Electrician) made this difficult situation 100% better. Amanda was extremely responsive during booking and Joe came out to assist. Joe was professional and understanding of our situation. He took the time to explain everything and put us at ease. After, both Joe & Amanda went above and beyond to ensure we were up and running. Communication, follow up, and overall customer service was unmatched. Thank you again! read more

I've worked with Roberts many times, starting in 2003. They are not cheap but they do good work--as others here have written. But they are s-l-o-w at submitting their estimates. The last time I asked them for a quote, they came out quickly to see the job then promised an estimate in a few days. I continued to call for a few WEEKS. At one point the estimator even assured me that they wanted the job. But I never did hear from them. read more

Excellent work. Great crew. Take the time to explain their plan. Work within your budget.

A neighbor recommended them to me. We where in a series pinch. A family emergency at the time made me call them at 8:30 am. The lady that answered the phone was very nice after I explained the situation. The guy came by by about11am. And it didn't take too long to finish everything. I needed them to check the grounds in the living room a to make sure it could handle the equipment we where bringing in, and to install two CFGI outlets in the kitchen. Well luckily the living room was properly grounded but he replaced two outlets anyway and installed one CFGI outlet in the kitchen and put a CFGI safe sticker on the other kitchen outlet. I also like them because they are union and licenced and insured. And the price was reasonable for them to come to my house and do a proper job. I will definitly call them for future work if needed read more

Just an all around horrible experience with RECO. They send different guys on location every other day, so you have to spend half a day walking them through everything and bringing them up to speed all the while they are billing you for this and you are losing your time. Then they double bill, don't complete the work, don't clean up after themselves (spools of wire and trash left under our building), etc. I am a firm believer in bringing issues to people attention so they can fix it. I even contacted the owner. Martin came by and saw that many items weren't completed and then he disappeared. After 6 months of back and forth and no work on their part, I hired an other electrician. He fixed and completed their shooty work. Of course RECO is still trying to bill for work not completed nor done correctly. Just outrageous. I would never recommend using these guys. read more

One of my "go to" vendors. Always friendly service from both the office staff and the electricians who come on site. Very professional and very thorough. They never cut corners and do everything up to code and they work both efficiently and neatly. They recently put up some new overhead lights for me, added a dimmer switch and some new electric outlets. I couldn't be happier. Great work! read more

Martin and his team were fantastic. They arrived early, completed the job on-time, and were just generally pleasant people to be around. They installed a car charger, exterior lights, and exterior outlets on a 1929 house -- and everything looks really good. Would recommend them without hesitation. read more

I needed an upgrade to my remote control ceiling fan. The Modern Fan Company said I need a new transmitter and remote, which they FedEs's to me. I called Roberts and the y set me up with Jeremiah. He arrived on time, had is little booties on to ensure my floors would be clean. He immediately assessed the situation and got to work. He let me know what he was doing and within 45 minutes he was done! He then asked for some microfiber clothes to clean the fan blades and he also cleaned a nearby sprinkler head! Jeremiah was professional and really proud of his work! I strongly recommend Roberts Electric and Jeremiah in particular. Finding a good electrician or any other service pro is tough - I found a great one! read more

I recently had them install a light on the outside of the garage and fix an older fluorescent bulb light fixture. At first I was very nervous about selecting them to do this job. The first guy who arrived was not up to the task. He was physically impaired and unable to do the job. I believe I clearly described the job when I set the appoint so I was very disappointed to be told after his arrival that he could do the job. They quickly rescheduled the next appointment, but I received a call prior to their appointed time that the electrician would not be able to come. From my perspective, I was getting even more nervous about choosing them to handle the job. Finally on the third try, they arrived on time and the electrician completed all tasks required. As others have mentioned, they're not cheap, but from my point of view, I don't want a cheap electrician I want a good, safe, knows their stuff kind of electrician. I'm very satisfied with the outcome even if it was a rocky start. read more

Martin is working for another company but still accepts jobs. I had an installation of new hallway lights than needed to be done. Old fixtures and plates were no longer working and I had no illumination in the hallway since May. It was not high priority since it's been light outside, but heading into winter I really needed to find the time to get this done. I called Martin and told him about the job. He quoted me $175 for the installation of both the hall lights barring any unforeseen electrical issues. I had had the house re-wired when we moved in 6 years ago, but with all the bulbs popping it was a possibility. I ordered the lights I had been looking at and inspected them upon arrival. Then I texted Martin they were in. After a few texts he got back to me with an opening the next morning. He arrived promptly and within 1.5 hours I had new hall lights which work and look great. Martin was wonderful cleaning up all the plaster debris and general mess that comes with installations. The total bill was less then the quote. Great job and I will be keeping him contact information for any further jobs. Thank you Martin read more

They're not cheap, but they're good, they're in Oakland, and they're reputable. These things make them my choice for electrical contractors. Not the not-cheap part, but that's why only 4 stars. Then again, Sparky always costs money. They've done interior work for me - installing two ceiling fixtures where old gas ones would have been - and exterior motion lighting. They've done the wiring for the inside of my garage so I could be legal with the City of Oakland and not have the questionable extension cord that the previous tenants put out there. They wired the garage for a garage door opener. Solid work. Again, not cheap, and like all contractors you have to follow up to keep the ball rolling sometimes, but they give an estimate and stick to it, take a deposit then you pay when it's inspected and the work is done. All on the up-and-up. They did accidentally drill through the ceiling into the second floor when doing those ceiling fixtures, but paid for a good flooring company to come out and repair it, not Fly By Night Floors. read more

I've used this company twice. Once to put in a light and a receptacle in my attic, and once to repair a broken light switch. Both times they were professional, did excellent work quickly and cleanly. They aren't the cheapest, but I know that at the end of the job, I'll be satisfied with the work. read more

I had Roberts Electric (RECO) do a commercial electric and data project because of a recommendation from a contractor friend. They dealt with the problems of existing wire and legacy systems very well. On the most critical day of the project the had extra people to make sure all went smoothly. They left the site clean and in good order. Also, they quickly responded to follow up issues. read more

While the electrician who came to my house seemed knowledgeable, their customer service is lacking. I had asked them to come do an inspection of my old knob and tube. I was offered the option of just the inspection and no formal report, or for a higher fee, a report. I needed the report so asked for that. The electrician left me with a hand written invoice that said "conducted attic knob and tube wiring inspection. No discrepancies noted." I waited for my actual report and after calling at least twice to get it, what i got was a typed up invoice saying the same thing as the hand written invoice. After following up several times, I was told a more detailed report would be coming. I have yet to receive it. Then, i also asked for a bid on installing an outside light fixture. When I got the bid, it included a fee for the work plus a $795 charge for a permit--if I should choose to get one. I called the city and found the permit would cost less than $150. Robert's told me that the fee included an electrician being on site during the inspection. That leaves them about $645 worth of hourly billing to be on site for an inspection. While I am all for paying them for their time, that seems highly excessive. Needless to say I will not be using them for the job. read more

I needed an electrician to help us replace a hot tub in our yard. The electrician that came out was nice and helpful. He told us everything looked good and that he would just need to reach out to his supervisors to get the estimate. He said he would send an email as soon as he left. After a couple days went by, I called to follow up, they said they would get back to me tomorrow. I called late the next day, told me they would reach out and get back to me tomorrow. This went on for 10 days. It was not a complicated job, they just needed to upgrade a breaker. I even followed up with the electrician (we had exchanged texts previously about the property) to see if he had an update or knew what was going on, he never responded. We paid over $250 for them to come out and do the initial assessment, which we pretty much had to re-pay to another electrician (who came out and did everything in one day). They also wasted our time. They finally called me and said they wouldn't be able to do the job because they couldn't get in contact with the supervisor to get the estimate - which is ridiculous. I get a couple days but 10 days? How do you run a business like that? read more

I had some major damage to my bathroom fan (fire), and needed electrical repair. The damage was extensive enough it needed to be seen, and parts needed to be ordered ahead of time. Roberts was recommended to me by my building's management company. They seemed okay on the phone, and said they would discuss my job with their electrician and call back. They never called back so I assumed that was the end of it, as many contractors are flakey. Then, several weeks later, I got a call from a random guy who said he's here to do electrical work. I told him I had no knowledge of any appointment, as I'd already had the work done. Today, a month and a half later, I got a bill for $125, referencing an "order" number that never existed in the first place!!! The bill said it was in the 32-61 days overdue, and this is the first I even heard of this. Total scam. Check out my other reviews to see a much more reliable contractor. read more

The electrician they sent arrived with no ID and an hour early with no courtesy call. He stayed 40 minutes and could not fix the problem because he need a piece of common equipment. Before anyone called to re-schedule him, they sent me a bill for $165.00. That was when they told me I was charged with 1/2 hour travel time. This means they charge $125.00 for 1/2 hr worth of work. This charge would be repeated when he came back so I told them not to bother. Do not use this company! read more

Don't waste your time with this company. I set an appointment for some electrical work on a project I had going. I told the person that I talked to that I did not need an estimate and I just wanted to have them send a crew to raise a few conduits. There was a two week wait to get someone to my site. I agreed to the two week wait. On the scheduled date, one estimator showed up. He said that he would get an estimate together and get it to us in a day or so. This impacted our progress on the project, but at this point I needed to get the work done ASAP. I was never contacted regarding the estimate. I called the office on three occasions and was told that they were working on it. Still no call back. Still no estimate. I finally had to contact another electrician to handle the project. What a waste of time. I would not recommend this company. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

They did show up, which considering contractors is worth a star. The guy seemed to be distracted and not interested. The job was pretty straight forward, easily accessible crawlspace, rewiring and upgrading 50's house and if satisfied, wiring a studio remodel - not a small job. Never followed up with me - even to say they weren't interested. Two subsequent emails were not responded to. I would not use them - they are not customer service oriented. read more

I had Roberts Electric come out to do an estimate to install recessed lighting throughout my home. The estimator came out on time for our appointment. I first related to him what my expectations were. Then he went through my home room by room and explained to me his suggestions. We spent at least an hour going through the many options available to us. As he was leaving he presented his business card and said I should receive the estimate in a couple of days. I was very happy with our visit but my review is not really about the visit but more for the follow up (or lack there of). When I had not received a written estimate within the week, I phoned and was told that only the estimator could answer any questions about the estimate and that they expected him to be back in the afternoon. I did not hear from him at all. I called one more time and only was able to leave a message as he was out doing estimates. I never did receive an estimate or a call back. In my mind, customer service is an extremely important facet for any company, equal to the job that is being done. I do expect great service and workmanship. That's why I contacted Roberts Electric in the first place. They are a "Diamond Certified Company" and I have come to expect exceptional quality and customer service from Diamond Certified Companies. Unfortunately, because of this I will not use Roberts Electric for ANY of my future electrical needs. read more

Unreliable. They made an appointment to come today between 7:30-8:00. At 8:30 the central office finally called to tell me their electrician's van had been stolen AND THEY WOULD TRY TO LOCATE ANOTHER ELECTRICIAN! This is supposedly a big outfit and they have one electrician? The lady flew all over me because I took off work this morning and was not pleased. This is Diamond-Certified SERVICE??? I will be calling Sparky. read more

Unfortunately I can not recommend Roberts Electric. We hired them to look at our entire electrical system and make recommendations for safety and upgrades. They created a list and a bid of items that needed to be completed. The electrician came and went on several non consecutive days over a few weeks, turned the electricity off for an entire day for no reason and completed work that was not necessary. I was billed for the unnecessary work as well as several items that were not completed. I asked repeatedly for someone to come out to the house and do a check off for everything they said was completed but the company refused. Their stance was they did the work and I needed to pay and that was that. This despite several items on the list clearly not being present. I will now need to hire another electrician to check their work and complete the items on the list. read more

Roberts Electric did a small job for me installing a 240 outlet in my driveway for charging my new EV. Tom, the electrician they sent, knew his stuff and was very efficient and professional in tapping into my panel, finding a way to use its limited capacity, and wiring the outlet through the crawl space under the house to leave the smallest visible external "footprint". He was personable and informative and did a fine job. Also of note was Angela of the home office who really went the extra mile in setting up the appointment. She even found a ten dollar overcharge on the bill and refunded me the mistake. I highly recommend these folks! read more

Jeremiah at Roberts priced a job for me (running a dedicated line to the driveway to charge a plug-in hybrid), estimating he could do it in two to four hours. He did it in three. Works perfectly. The EV circuit is unobtrusive, the work looks classy, and charging is a breeze. 10% senior discount. These guys get my business in the future. read more

Roberts Electric company is dedicated to completing a project on time and on budget. As a Designer I can meet with their team onsite during preliminary phases and construction and we work out the nitty-gritty details with the homeowner's in mind. I have been working with them for several years, Very professional! read more

I've had two great experiences with Robert's Electric Co. (RECO). They have helped me with everything from the electrical panel, appliance outlets, GFIs, car charger, fixtures. Jeremiah is especially skilled and knowledgeable. They are also reasonably priced and after the first hour charge by the 1/4 hour. Great reliable company. read more

Great service and value for a numerous projects in our 20,000 sq foot warehouse. High voltage as well as basic 110. We have had some large wire pulls in challenging old existing conduit-- no problem. Very professional, get the job done. Positive go fet em attitude. They will be back for the next project! read more

I've used Roberts Electric for 2 jobs so far, a ceiling lamp replacement and an upgrade of the outlet for my dryer. Both times the electricians were prompt, friendly and did a quality job. I'll use them again for sure. read more

Couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Roberts Electric. This is the second time I have used them. As before I was very pleased. For even a smaller job like mine the electricians Mike and Juan were class A. They were very professional, courteous, helpful and took great care in not damaging my walls which I greatly appreciated. From beginning with office personnel, estimator Kevin I was pleased. read more
