Russell was prompt in responding to an inquiry, setting up an estimate appointment. He talked me through the process of replacing a light fixture and was thorough in his explanation. I recommend him. read more

Out of the four electricians I called Russell was the only one who responded and scheduled an appointment. Unfortunately he got the dates wrong and was a no show. Fortunately I was able to contact him again and our follow appointment went well. He was very thorough and fixed the problem and the price was reasonable. At this point I would give him a 4 star Unfortunately he would get a 1 star afterwards since he never responded to several calls to the follow up on an important project that we discussed and he agreed to do. read more

I finally decided to upgrade my chandelier. Russell Flood Electric responded promptly and provided a reasonable estimate. A couple of days before our appointment, I found out I had 2 outlets that didn't work. They had time to accommodate my new request at a reasonable price. A day prior to the appointment, I had questions about parts and wanted to ensure I didn't have to buy anything extra. They responded timely to my questions. Day of appointment, they came at the agreed upon window. They respected the house by covering floors and nicely moving things aside. They asked questions about height, etc. They also recommended putting a bigger/mental junction box to ensure the chandelier can hold. Russell and his colleague started assembling the orb outside. They then started putting together the chandelier once it was having from the ceiling. They were detail-oriented and patient. They were not at all in a rush. Russell then moved to fix the outlets. It was great to work with quality and professional contractors/electricians. I will definitely refer them to family and friends. I'll also call them back for future projects. read more

Russell Flood Electric - Electricians Near Me

This review is about a year overdue but I absolutely need to give Russell Flood a shoutout here for the amazing work he did on our home in Walnut Creek. In September 2018 our home burned down as result of a house fire and was pretty much a complete rebuild from the ground up. Flood Electric was hired on by our Project Manager for the full extent of the electrical work. Which I am very grateful for! From beginning to end, Russ and his crew did an outstanding job. Not only did they completely rewire our home with panel installation etc, they worked with me on several additional items outside the scope of work for prices that were more than reasonable. He and his guys were also able to install Lutron smart switches for me throughout the house - was already very familiar with the technology and installation was a breeze as a result. As I monitored the progress of our rebuild on a daily basis, over the course of his time on the project I got to know Russell and crew pretty well. Generally just some good guys. I will be installing an EV charger in my garage at some point early next year and will not hesitate to give him a call. Highly recommend. Thank you Flood Electric! read more

I would 100% recommend Russell Flood. Troubleshot an electric problem no one else could. If you need a electrician Russell's your man.

Russell and partner were prompt and reliable. Their estimate was right on. I made sure to send them pictures so they knew what to expect. They knew what they were doing and you can tell that they cared and took pride in their work. They cleaned the area for us (not their responsibility either). I had checked out several electricians via yelp and the estimates ranged from Russells estimate $450 to $1200! I was skeptical and had a friend call Russell to vet him out as I know nothing about installing an ev charger. My friend gave Russell a thumbs up after asking some questions and making sure he knew what he was doing. The process was so seamless and flawless. Very independent and did a fantastic job. Recommended them to the dealership where I purchased the EV so they can have a very professional resource for the new EV owners as well! read more

We were in need of an electrician to upgrade an outlet to a 220v so that we could switch from a gas to an electric stove. From the initial intake call through project completion, Russell provided excellent and on-time service! He explained clearly the work that would need to be performed and quoted a good price. We'd definitely use him in the future again should the need arise. read more

This is our second time working with Russell Flood Electric. We needed an electrician to troubleshoot why multiple outlets stopped working. Russell and his team arrived at our appointed time (even early). Now I have encountered many contractors and some never showed or called. Russell is the exact opposite of those flaky people. He quickly diagnosed the problem, explained the issue, and went above and beyond to fix the wiring. He is easy to work with, is trustworthy, provides a high level of service, and his costs are reasonable. If you want to work with a knowledgeable professional, reach out to Russell Flood Electric. Highly recommended! read more

Thank you, Russell, for fixing the issues and explaining the cause. I listed the jobs on Yelp that need to be fixed and a few photos related to those jobs. He gave me an estimate for the same. It was at my rental property, so I was worried about how it would go. Lately, I have had a very bad experience with the handyman doing the job remotely, but it was pleasant working with Russell, and very reliable and trustworthy person. read more

Russell's work was outstanding! We had him replace 3 tall outdoor light posts and a hanging porch light. Other electricians wouldn't take the job as they considered it "too small". In addition to installing the posts he straightened them as the bases were crooked. He also went to the store for light bulbs! I am so thrilled and amazed at his quality work, quick response, great price and on time service that I will have him back for larger jobs. I highly recommend him. read more

Got a quick response with direct answers and was able to quickly fix our wiring issue between our outlet, switch and newly installed fan/light. read more

I live in a condo in the Jack London Square area of Oakland and was looking to get a lot of work done in the back bedroom which i've converted into a home office and home theater room. I wanted to get a bunch of can lights and a ceiling fan installed and I was referred to Russel and his company by other contractors that work in our building. Russel came over for an estimate and to make sure it was possible, discussed some options and gave me a quote then we set out a date for a Saturday. His crew came bright and early on the scheduled day, set out paper and plastic wrapping around the room to collect dust, and completed the job earlier then expected on the same day. 4 lights and 1 ceiling fan installed, updated switch installed in the wall, and dry wall patched up and repainted so professionally it looks like it all had always been there. Cleanup was also nice and spotless, these guys are professionals. Thanks Rusell, I'll definitely be contacted you again for any future electrical needs. read more

Russell is the best!! He is prompt, professional, knowledgeable and honest. We had back yard lights that went out and thought it would be an easy fix.

Our doorbell transformer needed replaced as our 'smart' doorbell was ringing on its own every 15 minutes in the middle of the night. Contacted Russell that morning and he was at the house that afternoon to replace the transformer. Love having a reliable, knowledgable person that responds to customers and shows up to do the work. We will definitely have Russell Flood Electric back to work on other electrical needs. read more

Russell and his crew showed up as scheduled.They did all the work we needed done and made sure everything was up to par. They explained all of the work that had been done once they finished. These days it seems almost impossible to get any electrician to even answer or return a phone call, let alone come out and do a job in a timely manner. Russell and crew were great and we highly recommend them to everyone! read more

I recently hired Russell for various electrical work throughout my home. The largest portion of the project included removing old fluorescent lights that were encased in a large box fixture; this was replaced with recessed lighting.

I live in a very old home (1936). My husband calls the wiring Winchester Mystery House as the modern world needs for electrical plugs meant there was splicing all over and under the house, from basement to attic. I've have had safety concerns since I moved in 7 years ago. The old connections had been systematically wearing out. If I used the microwave, clothes washer or dishwasher at the same time, I had to go out and reset the overloaded 15 amp switch. Finally, I couldn't take it any longer. Russel came out and quoted 5 days to do the work along with an estimate. As I was having Russell bring our entire home into current compliance, Well, it took 10 days and the estimate only changed when I added onto the order (bathroom fan installation, replace two ceiling fans, etc.) He ran into a lot of issues with a custom made home that was overbuilt as far as firebreaks and lath and plaster walls and ceilings. Now I can use any and all appliances at one time without issues and more importantly, I can now sleep soundly. Russell warranties his work and made sure to tell me he would be my electrician for life so the crazy wiring doesn't happen again. Yay! read more

Russell is truly fantastic. A solid electrician in terms of expertise, responsiveness and affordability is a rarity these days and Russell combines all three. Russell installed two fans (one living room, one bedroom), 4 ceiling lights - nicely spaced around one of the fans, and a new closet light in a one-bedroom condo in Downtown Oakland. His team had to do all the rewiring, as the place was not built out for ceiling wiring. From first email to final handshake, Russell was professional, attentive to detail and a great communicator. His team did a phenomenal job cleaning and was extremely timely at the start of the day also! Russell is in increasing demand, so I recommend getting on his calendar as soon as you can if you are looking to do a lighting or ceiling fan upgrade. Whether a one-room job or a large one, Russell is your guy. Strong recommend! read more

My partner and I have used Russell for extensive electrical upgrades to condos in Uptown Oakland and, most recently, in San Francisco at 35 Dolores. In both cases we had Russell add junction boxes for ceiling fans and light fixtures, retrofit fluorescent ceiling cans with LED, add dimmers and wall fan controls, and install new lighting fixtures. Russell is both a skilled and knowledgeable electrician, and talked us through all of our options before he began the project. His pricing is fair and he totally stands behind his work. He completed almost the entire project in just one weekend. Adding all of this electrical work meant that the drywall had to be cut. This process was handled neatly and carefully, and I would defy anyone to point out where the cuts were made. Russell's secret is Jorge, a skilled drywaller and painter who quickly worked behind Russell to patch up the holes. We had Jorge paint the entire San Francisco condo, and he really did a fantastic job. He even came back after we moved in and did some touchups. We are the envy of our neighbors, and couldn't be happier with the results. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Russell Flood Electric to anyone. Quality work, reasonable pricing, and beautiful results! read more
