I truly do not enjoy writing negative reviews, but I do believe in helping others to make informed decisions. I was in need of a licensed, capable, and highly rated electrician to replace a 44-year-old exhaust fan in the master bathroom of my condo. Checking Yelp, S&B Electric was one of the first I saw that matched my criteria. After reading many of the reviews, I submitted a request for quote through Yelp (late October or early November 2025). I received an automated text response with a list of questions to answer. I responded accordingly. Below is a timeline of subsequent communications: 11/03/25 - I sent a text to S&B requesting confirmation of receipt of my information. No response. 12/05/25 - I called and left a voice message 12/06/25 - I called Stewart directly and received an automated response stating, "I'll call you back." I replied, "Thank you." 12/06/25 - Stewart returned my call. During the conversation, he requested a photo of the existing fan. I obliged and immediately sent a picture. When I sent the picture, I received another automated response with the same questions I had received before. I completed them again in response. I received no confirmation of receipt. 12/10/25 - I sent a follow-up text to Stewart. No response. 12/17/25 - I called Stewart again, and again received an auto response, "I'll call you back." No call back happened. I put the entire project on hold for the next five or six months and focused on other things. During this time, I received no communication from Stewart or anyone else from S&B Electric. Always wanting to give people the benefit of the doubt, I decided to try one final time. On 5/06/26, I sent another request for quote through the form on the S&B Electric website and received an immediate automated response confirming receipt of my request. As of 5/13/26, I still had received NO RESPONSE. At this point, I had completely given up. I understand that many people had wonderful and positive experience with S&B Electric, and that is what I had based my initial decision off of. However, when a business or representative thereof fails to at least extend the courtesy of just replying to say they cannot, for whatever reason, accommodate a request for service, that non-response is equivalent to poor service overall. That said, since I cannot speak to the quality of their work, I must base my review off of the facts above. If the amount of stars is based on that, it would be 0/5. Consequently, I ended up working with another locally/minority owned/operated contractor, who not only provided exceptional service from initial call to intake to invoice, but they also got the job done in less than three hours and will be my contractor for all future electrical needs in my current home, and future home. read more

Jason was the man - great vibe (even my cat who usually hides liked him) he identified/fixed my issue promptly. Fair pricing, great value and quick service. I will definitely request him from now on! This business was very responsive and worked with my needs - found time even for a smaller issue which other electricians were not able to. read more

Hi Stewart, I'm going to address your response directly. You stated that the work I requested was "illegal." That claim doesn't hold up, as I had the exact same work completed by another licensed electrician without any issue or code concerns. This appears to be a difference in opinion--not a legal violation. You also mentioned that multiple electricians refused the job. That's not accurate. I received multiple quotes, and while you declined the work, another licensed contractor completed it safely and professionally. I do apologize for not letting you TAKE ADVANTAGE OF US and enforcing your unreasonable and unsolicited request to spend TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS moving the panel and installing copper wire. Judging by how defensive your response was to a objective review, it would seem to me that you have pulled these kind of UNETHICAL shenanigans before with other unsuspecting homeowners. 0/5 stars read more

They stepped in when our homeowners insurance denied a claim we had submitted. Within 10 mins of his arrival, he had our problem resolved. And didn't even bill us for a very simple issue. We've had several work orders done by them. They are knowledgeable, friendly and trustworthy. I would highly recommend them. read more

My electrical in both my bathrooms went out and I had pressed all the buttons and flipped all the fuse box switches. I had called another electrician that was a no-show. The person on the phone at S&B told me for homes built in the 80's and 90's you need to also press the reset button on the outlet in the garage, and it worked! :) So awesome that they were kind enough to tell me this, they saved me a lot of time and money! If I ever have a "real" electrical issue in the future I'll for sure use them! read more

Our AC likes to go out in a heat wave, and this one was no exception. I followed up with Stewart over text when he responded to my inquiry here. He squeezed us in for the next day, was gracious about my check-ins with him as the house got hotter, and showed on time (!). The fix ended up being a simple blown furnace fuse. He pulled out the fuse and showed us exactly what kind to get and where/how to install it. He said since he didn't even get tools out (used our screwdriver to get to the furnace fuse), he refused our offer of payment and asked us to pay it forward when we get the opportunity. We've referred him to a dear friend who's looking for electrical work, and I'd recommend him to you too. read more

I wish I could give Stewart of S&B Electric 10 stars. He is absolutely professional and conscientious. When I realized my outdoor electric plugs provided no power on Tuesday, since it is a lifeline to my sprinkler system, I sent a request via Yelp after flipping breakers on my electric panel, and nothing worked. S&B promptly responded within minutes. After setting up an appointment for noon on Wednesday, Stewart called me about 15 minutes in advance while he was on his way to my house, inquiring if I tried the reset button in the garage? Problem solved. Not only that, he explained in detail why. He insisted on not accepting any payment from me, even after I asked to pay for his time, given that he was on his way and had taken the time to explain. It is such a wonderful experience with Stewart of S&B Electric. read more

S&B is AWESOME! They helped me troubleshoot from electrical issues in my kitchen over the phone and didn't even charge me a cent! THAT IS GREAT HELP! I will go to them again and again! Thanks so much guys! read more

They installed a 60 amp circuit for me. I wanted to purchase/install an EV charger myself, so they came out, assessed my panel then installed some 6/2 romex to come out of the wall in my garage where I asked. They worked through the rain, made quick work, and their price was fair. They even pointed out a roof leak while they were in the attic. No complaints. read more

S&B Electric - 60 amp circuit breaker - Electricians Near Me

Very professional, competent and polite. Quick response by phone and quick appointment was available.

Usually when you call any contractor especially when it is a little job, my experience is that they don't want to waste time on a small job if they can block that time for a big job. I took a chance on S&B Electric to change out an outside GFI plug that was blinking red. I googled this issue and decided it was way out of my wheelhouse. I called S&B they had a guy coming out our way. He did a great job and we are up and running again. I will use them again... read more

First of all, I want to say that Derek and crew do good work. The project included new circuits, pulling wire, junction boxes and outlets, hooking up electrical, fixtures, plugs and a switches to a remodeled outdoor kitchen. Everything had to be waterproofed. They did this methodically and thoroughly. I would not hesitate one bit to call them and get a bid. This is what I would want to know through reviews going into this: They were certainly not the lowest bidder but they were initially responsive and said they could get to the project within the week. The following Thursday from time of initial meeting, in fact. This was the MAIN reason we went with them even though they were a bit higher than 2 other bidders. And we liked Stewart who seemed personable, very experienced and knowlegable in the field. We've done many many projects with many properties so this wasn't our first rodeo. Where they lost a star was when I had to do all the follow up and follow through for the start date, and the follow up when they didn't show on the day that was agreed upon. Running a project that involves other contractors gets tricky because everyone is on a schedule. So when there's a no show it causes domino effect issues. And there might be costs incurred due to this delay. And those costs should not be on the client if you created the excess work by not showing up. As electricians, they are good! Administration, communications, scheduling and accurate billing needs a lot of work. That's where it got sloppy. But I didn't leave a 3 star because Stewart worked with us to iron these things out. Again, I had to be insistant on those details. So for someone who is not comfortable with administration, this might be a frustrating experience. read more

I highly recommended this company. Stewart was great. He answered all my questions, gave me cost saving options. The work was done promptly and professionally. The crew were polite , efficient and friendly. They cleaned up well after themselves. read more

We had Stewart out to figure out a mysterious outside electrical issue of power dropping. He spent some time investigating and was able to resolve our issue. Turned out to be an easy fix but we would never have found it on our own. He is honest and I like knowing that now I have someone that I can call when something else goes wrong. I'll definitely call him again and would certainly recommend him to a friend. read more

S&B Electric - Outside electric - Electricians Near Me

I had used S&B Electric for an emergency service a year ago which turned out to be a "duh" moment for me. Since they had been so responsive back then, I hired them again to tackle a list of small electrical jobs that I had built up since the previous visit. Scheduling for non-urgent tasks took a while as they were busy and so was I, so it took three weeks (including a reschedule) to find a time that would work for both parties. Stewart texts back pretty quickly if he can't take a call. Derek and Jose ended up coming over to swap out our porch lights, upgrade a video doorbell, and change out several interior and exterior outlets/switches. With video doorbells, I was already familiar with the software setup, but was too lazy to figure out why it wasn't connecting to our home's mechanical chime. (I had been using a plug-in connected chime as a workaround solution.) During setup, the mechanical hardware house chime occasionally rang, but the rest of the time, it didn't, so it may be that there was a transformer compatibility that I didn't want to spend more time troubleshooting. The porch lights were swapped out pretty well. The outlets too. We did discover that the outlets in our rooms weren't logical in the wiring. Some bedroom outlets were on the same circuit as the living room outlets while some of the primary bedroom outlets were connected to a garage GFCI outlet that had tripped and no amount of circuit breaker flipping would turn it on until we reset the garage GFCI's outlet. I appreciate that Derek came back to figure this out and isolated the GFCI portion away from the bedroom outlets. I also appreciate that he used it as an immediate teaching/knowledge sharing moment for his colleague. Both electricians were polite and professional. Happy to use them again in the future should the need arise. read more

I am not sure what I can say about the service, as we had scheduled an installation of recessed lighting, but they never showed up and never returned any of my multiple calls or emails. read more

I really appreciate the advice I was given over the phone to fix an issue that most people would have charged me for. A great business, will definitely use again. Thank you!! read more

Contacted S&B Electric for a quote on some plugs in my kitchen. They came over and gave us a quick rundown of the issue. We were able to resolve the problem ourselves, but are so appreciative of the consultation. We will definitely use them for future work. Highly recommend! read more

Good communication. Good work. Would hire them again. Saved money by getting the permit myself. Will not do that again.

Derek is extremely honest, efficient and professional. He could have easily ripped me off on one task that took 30 seconds to fix. He could have made up another reason for an outlet issue (like it needed a new circuit breaker or something that would have been parts+markup+labor) and he didn't do that!!! He is the 3rd electrician to say he didn't know why on outlet makes a popping sound. He had some ideas and asked good questions but "I don't know" if often the best answer. read more

I've had S&B do several electrical jobs, and highly recommend them. Recently Jason diagnosed and fixed a dead kitchen circuit. He did everything professionally, and brought installations up to code. He explained the problems and took care of things. Plus S&B squeezed in this job in a very busy time for them, thank you guys. read more

I contacted them and they were quick, easy and helpful. I highly recommend using them. I know they will be our go to now!

I put up a project on Yelp and Stewart called me directly. He did some troubleshooting and helped me identify the issue and fix it. In a day of people trying to extract as much money as possible from their customers, Stewart was a breath of fresh air. Highly recommend them and they will be my first call for anything in the future! read more

We lost power in half of our house, and i thought the circuit breaker failed.. I called Stewart the next day, and he walked me through the problem, and fixed it over the phone. He didn't charge us or try to take advantage of the situation. A very honest and kind thing to do. We were so grateful to have everything working again without extension cords. S&B is my go to electrician service, from now on! Thank you Stewart!! read more

I first contacted S&B thru yelp and they responded back promptly. After hammering out the details, they were able to come by the next day for an electrical subpanel replacement. Derek was awesome - he showed up on time, and took care of the job in roughly 3 hours, which is pretty quick imo. He also went thru the whole unit after, checking to make sure that all plugs were working and up to code. S&B has great prices, and are very professional and courteous. I'll definitely call them up again for future electrical work. read more

S&B Electric - Old Subpanel - Electricians Near Me

Contacted S&B about installing an island range hood as we couldn't find anyone willing to do this job. They came out and did the 2 person installation. Imparted professionalism, strong customer service orientation, quality oversight, protected surfaces, and clean-up. Pricing seemed appropriate for this complex job too. To conclude, Stewart and Derek are the "real deal." Highly recommend them. read more

We recently had S&B come out to our house and Stewart, the owner, gave us a quote for installation of 3 ceiling fans and repair of a couple electrical outlets. He took pictures of the rooms we wanted them in and the outlets that needed repair so when he sent us the quote, he had listed specifically what was being done so that there were no questions as to what charges were for what repair. Derek and Jose came out the day of installation and were very easy to work with. They made sure to cover and tape off everything in all the rooms to protect from dust and debris when cutting holes into the ceilings. They ran new electrical and installed new switches along with our new fans. Once done, Jose did a nice job of vacuuming and cleaning up the rooms before leaving. I highly recommend this company! They are communicative, and also have fair pricing which is hard to come by. Thanks again S&B! read more

I've installed many light fixtures before, but this one was a challenge. After several failed attempts, I decided to hire an electrician and chose S&B through Yelp. I let Yelp send my request to multiple electricians, hoping for the best deal. One quoted me $325 just for a service call--no thanks. Around 8:30 p.m., Stewart from S&B texted me. We spoke for about 15 minutes, and he even walked me through troubleshooting my chandelier--on a Sunday night around 9:15! I was amazed by his generosity and professionalism. When I still couldn't fix it, I asked Stewart to send someone out. Jason arrived Monday afternoon, installed the chandelier (which required drilling into the ceiling support), replaced a switch, and even got my porch light working. He was thorough, professional, and left everything clean. The total cost? Only $125. Incredible value and service. I'll be using S&B for all my future electrical work--and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, skilled electricians. read more

Thank you S&B! Your guidance was really helpful and greatly appreciated saving me more expence.

We were without electricity in our garage causing the garage door opener, washer/ dryer, sprinkler system, and even our security cameras inoperable. My husband tried a few things to no avail. I called the company and the owner Stewart answered. He asked all our information and asked me to send a picture of our control panel. Later in the afternoon, he called and asked my husband to do a few tasks with the breakers to make sure that wasn't the problem. Since that didn't fix the problem, Stewart came to our home. It turned out it was the outlet behind our washer/dryer causing the whole issue. The charge was reasonable, and from now on, his company will be the one we call when we have any electrical problems. Thank you for a pleasant experience! read more

Responding to the owner's reply to my original review. He posted BS about how he called me and texted me with an ETA and I didn't reply and "What else could I do." Well what he could have done was call and texted before or even during the appointment window instead of well after, by which time I wasn't home anymore. Had he called or texted then. I would have been happy to try to reschedule. Instead they just blew off the appointment until after they were supposed to be there. No way I'm going to trust someone with the electrical wiring in my home who can't even keep track of what time it is and provide basic customer service. read more

I called S&B three days before Christmas because power outlets in our kitchen stopped working. We had checked the fuse box and couldn't tell if one was tripped. They answered my call immediately and walked me through checking our fuse box and resetting one. After a brief call, all was fixed. I offered to pay for their time and they refused. Really standup people. Give them a try. I will call them for our next project. read more

Stuart is great to work with. Really understands his customers and is fair and transparent. Job well done and great communication throughout. read more

Stewart is very knowledgeable and helped me test and select the best lights for my project. I appreciate how patient he was and took the time to explain things to me. The backyard lights that were installed are awesome! read more

I was having a problem with a vacuum that was tripping my circuit breaker and I searched on Yelp for help. S&B reached out to me within minutes. I told him what I was experiencing and he asked for a picture on my panel and he told me that it was up to code and that some powerful vacuums will trip the circuit. I also told him of a pot light that became loose in my ceiling and he told me how to put it back I place. All this for no charge. I didn't need them this time but when I need an electrician in the future my first call will be to S&B. read more

If you're searching on Yelp for an electrician in the area, stop your search and just call Stewart. He is excellent, patient, and beyond knowledgeable in his craft. He assisted my husband to diagnose the issue over the phone after business hours. He answered ALL of our questions and resolved the issue quickly! In a previous service call, I put in a request late at night and his team showed up right away the next morning and fixed a different issue in our bathroom. There are many electricians on Yelp, but don't get lost in your search - just call S&B. They have just earned a customer for life and I'm confident you will feel the same! read more

Derek from S&B came out and inspected the electrical work that needed to be done . Derek gave me a very thorough and reasonable estimate . I highly recommend S&B Electric read more

If I could give more than five stars, I would. My experience with S&B Electric, especially with Stewart, was great. I contacted them about getting an electrical panel inspected, and Stewart quickly gave me all the info I needed. He reviewed the photos I sent and emailed me a detailed summary. Surprisingly, since he didn't need to come out in person, he said the service was free. That kind of honesty and customer service is hard to find these days. It's clear that S&B Electric cares about their customers and does business the right way. I highly recommend S&B Electric for any electrical work and will definitely use them again in the future. read more

Excellent customer service. Yesterday morning (Sunday 01/19/25), I called to leave a voicemail, but instead Stewart picked up and chatted with me for 5-10 minutes about the scope. Later in the afternoon I was provided with a very reasonable quote. After texting him this morning to schedule the work, Derek called and showed up at 10:30am, put on his booties and went to work... by noon he completed the installation, demonstrated that the new outlet was operational, and was on his way. I've attached some before and after photos for reference. Thanks S&B Electric! read more

S&B Electric saved me time and a lot of money. On a Sunday afternoon, I attempted to replace an outlet and found myself with no power in the kitchen. I found S&B Electric on Yelp. A helpful and friendly man said emergency calls on a Sunday are very expensive and asked if I was sure I needed one. He asked me to walk him through what I had done and send him a picture of the panel. He immediately let me know what I needed to do to fix the problem, and I was able to restore power in my kitchen on my own. In gratitude for not paying hundreds to fix my dumb mistake I offered to send over a tip. He declined, so here's a nice review instead. I'll be sure to try S&B in the future if I need electrical work. read more
