Customer service is a lost art in today's societ. Stewart is a MODEL of customer service. He responded to my phone call promptly and with professional advice. He was able to trouble shoot my problem and resolve it. I highly recommend Stewart & S&B Electric without hesitation. read more

S&B Electric went above and beyond helping me troubleshoot a tripped breaker. Over the course of 30 minutes and multiple phone calls and images of my breaker exchanged, I was able to get the power back by turning on the tripped breaker outside the building near the power meter. In the end, my landlord decided to come take a look himself so all I can do to compensate them is leave this glowing review! read more

Honest and straight forward! Stewart walked me through a few things to check prior to him coming out. He was more than happy to help me fix my issue over the phone and saved me $150.00 in the process. I will definitely use him for future electrical issues! read more

Extremely helpful and professional. S&B has gone out of their way to answer questions and has been extremely generous with time. They're also super detail oriented and take pride in their work. They've helped me with several things including kitchen re-wiring , subpanel upgrade, lighting etc . 5 stars ! read more

This is as good as it gets. They showed up, did everything we asked, plus more. They are very professional, knowledgeable and smart with the layout (neat!). Cheerful and sincere, I would give these guys the keys to my home with confidence. I was happy to pay them at the end of the day. Psssst. It helps if you clear the area where they will work. We did this (as we always do) and you should have seen the delight on their faces when they could get to work right away. read more

Awesome!! Came out in a Saturday evening 7:30 pm to help with our power going out upstairs. Got the power back on, checked out all of our cord mess behind the TV and found out our TV blew, Xbox and cable box all blew out. Advised on some other things too, Kind friendly service!! Thank you S & B !!! read more

We had a chandelier that needed fixing and had a few electricians come out saying they couldn't help us given the height of our ceiling. I found S&B and Stewart was extremely responsive and helpful and provided a quote which was very reasonable. Derrick and Jason came out and were very professional and friendly and fixed our issue. They were extremely efficient and seemed very knowledgeable. I will be using them again for future projects. read more

I had purchased an old house couple of years ago and had consistent issues with my sub-panel tripping.After aweful experience with other contractors from yelp who never called back or contacted me back after 'few days' or were simply 'no shows', I was pleasantly surprised when stewart responded within 10 mins for my request for quote.A few photos of my panel and subpanel later I received a detailed quote.On the day of the job,stewart n his crew showed up on time.All 3 of them were really skilled,distributed work amongst themselves n breezed through the job in no time.We like many Indian households do not wear shoes inside the house so these guys even carried booties and put them on when they were indoors.The cleanup was through and their behaviour professional and respectful.I would do business with them again and definitely recommend S&B electrics for ur electric work. read more

Abysmal customer service demonstrates utter disregard for the customer I first called Stewart from S&B Electric about a simple power outlet upgrade. He was nice and helpful on the phone. He asked me to text him my contact info so that he could schedule a visit with my tenant. Upon receiving my text, he promptly confirmed receipt. Four days later, my tenant called me about the status of the repair and informed me that no one had called her. I called Steward again to follow up. He apologized and blamed the issue on Yelp's response service. He asked me to send my information again to a different contact number and said his team would reach out to my tenant that day. Once again, I took the time to resend the information he already had. I got another email from my tenant the next day asking what was happening with the outlets. She said no one had reached out to her and asked for Stewart's number so that she could call him directly. I provided the info. I followed up with her five days later later. She said she had messaged Stewart only to be told he would get back to her within two days once he knew his schedule. She had waited four days after that communication and never heard from Steward. In my book, this is inexcusable. I can see not wanting a job if one is too busy or does not like the size of a job (I excepted the price he quoted on the first call, no questions asked.) But if you will make a customer wait for ten days when they could have gone to someone else to get the issue resolved, then waste their time by having them send you their information multiple times. please show some courtesy and turn down the job. read more

I called S&B Electric to request work to fix our large fluorescent fixture in the laundry room. I had replaced the four bulbs earlier in the morning with no luck to getting light. Stuart suggested that the problem was the two ballast components and told me how to remove the metal cover and examine. The next day S&B got back to me with a reasonable quote to replace the two ballasts. And they mentioned it would be better to replace the 20 year old fixture with a new modern fixture in the same size and told me how to connect the wires when I do the install. Wow. What a professional! We replaced the fixture and saved money too. Took about three minutes on the phone. Excellent service! Thanks. read more

Even though Stewart was extremely busy, he took time to "talk me through" a few ideas on the telephone - which actually fixed my problem! I really appreciate his responsiveness and willingness to help. I will call him with any future electrical issues in the future!! read more

I recently bought my house. S & B were hired to do the inspection. Curtis was so friendly and helpful that I knew RIGHT away I would want to call them back to do the actual work. For the inspection he was willing to come later in the evening, after working a full day, because that was the only time we were both available. He did not hesitant to stay and answer EVERY question I had. He explained things so that I understood them (as I do not know a lot about electrical work) and did not rush me so that he could leave sooner. When returning to do the actual work Curtis and Stewart arrived. They completed everything as planned, at a reasonable price. Both were very friendly and respectful. I appreciated how down to earth they both were. Again, everything that was completed was explained to me in ways that I would understand and every question answered before they left. One minor issue came up recently. Again, Curtis was willing to come out after his long work day to quickly fix it. He was very friendly and personable (remembered some of the things we had spoken about before). I don't know about you, but I personally really appreciate that quality in people. Long story, short my experience was fantastic and I will definintly be using them in the future if ever an electrical issue comes up, as well as referring them to anyone I know!!! read more

I called Stewart because my dishwasher wouldn't run. I thought I had checked the breaker, but Stewart walked me through doing it correctly. Now it runs. Stewart told me that if he had to come out and flip the switch for me, I'd have to pay for the service call. In other words he did what he could to save me money. read more

Stewart from S&B Electric helped us to fix our electricity after storm blew a tree on our roof and broke some cables and the electricity box on the last nights of the year. With a very difficult situation we were in, Stewart called right back after we left him a message and he acted very professional and pretty on time. read more

S & B did another amazing job for us, this time it was new can lights throughout the entire house and pendant lights in the kitchen and living room. As always, very professional and quality work! read more

I had an electrical circuit breaker issue and Stewart was able to help me via chat and it resolved my issue. He saved the day!! Awesome company. read more

I called and instead of charging me for coming over a simple fix I got a phone call that made my immediate problems go away. Thank you! I shall look for your service with the minor issues I still need to fix. read more

I had an electrical emergency this morning and Stewart was extremely friendly and helpful. He walked me through some steps to take and we resolved this issue over the phone- for free. This guy is wonderful..honest and a clear communicator. Will definitely be using him in future and recommending to all my friends. read more

I so appreciated how the technician was willing to help me save time and money on a costly home visit by walking me through my problem on the phone. He could tell it was a quick fix as I was describing my issue, and he walked me through the process in about 15 minutes. I don't know of many people/companies that would be this considerate! I'm definitely going to call S& B in the future if I need electrical work done! read more

I called S&B Electric to get a quote for a home generator. The owner spent about 20 minutes with me on the phone educating me about the different options, wattages, power options, etc. They definitely helped me a lot and now I know which generator to buy. Will be hiring them to install it. read more

Stewart was great. He came out to my house and gave me a bid within a few hours. His crew was there the next day and they worked fast and clean. Would recommend his services highly. read more

I had problems with the lights in front of my house not turning on or flickering on and off. Stuart was very helpful with finding the problems with my lights and pointing out where the wires were not installed correctly. He worked quickly. I plan to use his services with other projects. read more

S & B Electric installed a new electric service for my remodeled kitchen, laundry room and installed the wiring for my 34 solar panels. Stewart and his crew were prompt, professional, and clean. He worked well with the General contractor on the job. I highly recommend S & B Electric Sandra T SF read more

Super impressed w/Stewart. Responded to my Yelp request on a Sunday morning in less than 5 minutes, and proceeded to help me debug issue over the phone to try and avoid a visit. Stewart will now be my first call for electrical needs going forward! read more

I was working on a kitchen remodel and my contractor bailed on me. I made some calls to electrical contractors and Stewart was willing to come out the same day for a quote. Not only were his prices reasonable, but he was even willing to work in the evenings to help us get our project timeline back on track. We found Stewart and his team at S&B to be honest, reliable and professional. I would highly recommend S&B to anyone who needs an electrical contractor. read more

I apologize in advance, as this review is going to be lengthy. I just wanted to thank Stewart and his team tremendously for the work they performed at my home on Tuesday this week. My husband and I have an older home (built in the 60s). We have gone without central heating and ac for almost 10 years and decided we would like to move forward in upgrading. We were told that in order to do so, our electrical panel would need to be updated from 100 amps to 200. We had previously hired a man to replace the roof to our screen room last year. He said he also had electrical experience and could replace our panel with no problem. He said it's an easy job and shouldn't take more than a day or two. His "one or two" day job ended up a two week disaster with no end in sight. His work failed the city inspection twice. All the while, we were without PG&E, as our power had to be shut off during the work. We went 3 days with no power at all, and lost all the food in our fridge. Also, we lost the majority of the fish in our aquarium. At that point my husband bought a generator. It worked for everything but our dryer. I had to lug wet clothes to a laundromat and twice. For two weeks we were spending money to fill up the generator with gas twice a day, and I worried that if this guy couldn't pass inspection for our panel, was the generator hooked up safely? Then, the worker said he had to buy a new panel to make the correction to pass inspection, but the panel was "on order". This was last Monday. He said that the panel would be in on Wednesday. He promised he would come early and the work would be done mid-day. He assured us that everything would pass inspection. I'd made an appointment for the city inspector to come out. The work was not done, and the inspector came out to find nothing new. We were charged an additional $150 for this. The worker said that the panel hadn't arrived but would be in Friday. Friday he said that it didn't come, but "definitely" would be in Saturday. Saturday we waited all day with not a word from the guy. When my husband texted him, he claimed that he had been in pain with a toothache and could not come out. If that was so, he never bothered to say anything. By now, I was completely fed up and exhausted. I started looking up electricians on my phone. I saw many positive Yelp reviews for S&B Electric, so I asked my husband to give them a try. I wasn't sure how long it would be before we could see them, as Monday was a holiday. Stewart replied to my husband's call after only about 15-20 minutes. After a few questions and the request for some photos of the work that had been attempted already, he said he would get us on the calendar. He made an appointment for Tuesday morning. The crew showed up and finished everything in 5 hours. The inspection passed with flying colors, and our PG&E was finally restored. I can't say thank you enough for getting us through this fiasco. I will definitely recommend this company to my friends. **By the way, I still haven't seen that panel that was "on order". read more

May 2, 2022 I was replacing a bulb in a lamp in my kitchen and when I did sparks flew out and all 3 outlets on one wall went dead. So no micro wave, garbage disposal, etc. Checked electrical panel and no trips. Thought this will be big bucks. Called Stewart Brown of S@B electric who I used 18 months ago. He was in Mexico when I called. He told me to push reset on one of plugs on wall. None. Very old house. Told me to go to circuit box and even though nothing visable that tripped he gave me instructuons on way to try to reset. I did what he said and all back on. I am basically helpless with tech stuff. No charge for the help. Someone else could have come by and i would have been at their mercy and who knows, what they would have charged me. So i found a rare person who took his time on the phone to help me, WHILE In MEXICO. So, a company with ethics and compassion to help a senior citizen out. So blessed to find this company. Who do you think I will call next time? That's right, S@B . read more

Called before 9:00 AM and James arrived in about an hour. He solved our problem, answered all our questions and was very personable. We would use this service again and recommend him to our friends. read more

We called S&B Electric this morning because the outlets in our kitchen stopped working and we needed someone urgently over. My husband spoke with a super nice gentleman (my husband doesn't recall his name, sorry) who gave a tip over the phone (which worked)and power was restore (without the need of a house visit.) We appreciate the attention and honesty and will keep S&B in mind for future reference. Thank you! read more

This company really helped me out. I'm in the middle of a landscaping project, and the well pump that supplies the landscaping water stopped working. Then another one of my inside circuits went out. Stewart was able to send someone out the next day even though I contacted him in the afternoon. Derek arrived mid-morning and went right to work, thoroughly checking out the problem. Turns out there were three problems, which is what happens whenever you start working on one thing around a house. Derek said all was good and then left, but the well stopped working again. Stewart put me in touch with him, Derek returned and said that the landscaper had turned off the breaker. They were gone for the day so we will find out on Monday if the well pump is still tripping the circuit, or if something might be wrong with the pump itself. In any case, Derek did his best and was polite and efficient. The price was extremely reasonable. I will be contacting this company again for future electrical needs. I truly appreciate tradespeople who are pros at what they do and are honest and helpful. The world needs more of that in general. read more

Stewart the owner of S&B Electric is very reliable, professional and helpful. I have hired him to do several different jobs at my house from installing a new fan and light fixture and troubleshooting and fixing a short in our basement. I also hired him to fix the breaker box at my grandmothers house and it was a job well done. I have referred him to several different friends and colleagues and they all thanked me for the referral. I know there are several electricians to chose from, but I highly recommend Stewart for he is honest and reliable. Robin read more

My husband and I haven't had a very positive experience with Stewart. A. He's extremely difficult to get in touch with and rarely calls you back. B. When he came to do the electrical, he complained that there were only two light fixtures when my husband had stated 3. I thought no job was too small for you? C. Hours after he installed a fixture the lights started blowing out. After calling him several times, he blamed the issue on the light fixture and called it a day. We have a lot of work to do on this house and he just lost it. Would not recommend S&B electric. read more

Highest recommendation. Stewart called me back after hours and scheduled his crew to come out first thing in the morning for an ac circuit breaker issue. The crew was professional and they made themselves available after they left to make sure the issue was resolved. Invoice was sent via email to make payment quick and easy. Will use them for all future electrical jobs. Thank you! read more

Stewart was very informative and gave key suggestions to acheive what we wanted. It was apparent that Stewart was highly skilled in his trade. We would use S&B Electric again and highly recommend their service. read more

We hired S&B Electric to do various projects in our home, and so glad we went with them!! After obtaining a few other estimates we decided to go with S&B as Stewart is very reasonably priced and was able to work around our busy schedule. He is reliable, trustworthy and professional. We are very satisfied with the work he performed and will definitely refer him to friends and family. read more

I had a weird electrical issue going on, one that my HVAC brother-in-law couldn't even figure out. I called S&B and asked them to come out, but they suggested that maybe we could troubleshoot it over the phone and save me the service charge. 5 or 10 minutes later, my problem was solved, for no charge whatsoever, and THEY thanked ME for my business. read more

Super glad I found out about S&B Electric on Home Advisor. Stewart responded very quickly to my RFP and wound up providing a great service at an affordable price. Appreciate the fact that he was always punctual and he took the time to explain issues and solutions. Would definitely work with him again for my electrical needs...and will recommend him to my friends and family along the way! read more

This guy not only knows what he's doing, but won't try to over sell. Straight shooter, nice guy and very affordable. So whether you have a large job or a small one, give Stewart a call. You'll be glad you did. read more

Did a great job, Stuart was very flexible and did his best to accommodate my schedule requirements. He was happy to do additional things that I asked once he was on site, and found and fixed a safety hazard with the wiring in my attic. He will be my first call next time I need electrical work done. read more

We hired S&B for a job a while back to work on my parents 23 year old house in Fairfield, Ca. My dad is getting older and isn't as flexible, so Stewart came and hooked up the house. My dad is such a critic and usually is able to do everything that has to do with the house. He installed ceiling fans and lighting throughout the house as if they were bought with the house originally. I have to add that these are on vaulted ceilings. My parents were extremely grateful for a job well done. Last minute, my father also asked Stewart to install outdoor lights and without complaining, they headed off to the hardware store. I would definitely recommend S&B Electric to everyone. The overall quality was def 5 start worthy. But the customer service, you can't beat. read more
