Tim knows what he is doing, is happy to explain things, and has extensive experience working on homes in this part of the bay, which gives him a very helpful familiarity with common issues and home configurations in the area (as well as all the weird stuff various/past owners try to do to address these things). He got back to us quickly once he received my message, turned around a timely estimate after seeing the property, and work began very soon after we accepted his bid. The work was fast and minimally intrusive, and we are extremely happy with the results. Will be working with Tim on our future plans for the house, and so glad to have a contractor we know and like. Tim and his crew were a pleasure to deal with, were polite and respectful, showed up on time, communicated when issues or questions came up, and MOST importantly (to me), I didn't feel at all weird about leaving them alone in our home - trustworthy good guys. There are some sordid, strange, and scary characters in the construction business, but you won't find them in this company; Tim and his crew are intelligent, approachable, and hard-working - what more could you ask for? Very kind and conscientious with our dogs too!

Had seismic, plumbing, and electrical work done by Tim and his crew in 2014…read more Work progressed with many interruptions requiring ongoing requests to return to finish the work. Finally done, work seems good enough, and we move forward with our lives. Recently discovered he never finaled the permits so future work can't be done until that gets resolved. This requires refiling for a completion permit so he's still costing me time and money. Multiple efforts to contact him via phone or email have not gotten a response. I leave this review to encourage you to make sure he sees your project through to completion. Needs constant supervision.

Phil is the best! He's been our go-to electrician since we bought our home in 2019. He updated…read moreour entire electrical system and has done several smaller projects over the last few years. Most recently, he installed outlets in our two non-functioning fireplaces so we could add electric log inserts. This was a complicated job because both outlets needed to be tied to the subpanel with new breakers. Also, one of our fireplaces does not have walls on any side. However, Phil knew exactly how to do the work without diminishing the natural aesthetic of the fireplace. Phil and his team are friendly, communicative, and always do an excellent job. We couldn't recommend PSL Electric more highly!

After our experience with Magic electric, I felt very compelled to write a review…read more Merlin(Owner) was outstanding. We had a lot of electrical work done, actually replacing all the knob and tube wiring in our 100 yr old house, adding outlets and switches in the process. Magic electric was timely, professional, and extremely fair in their pricing. I will use him again if I have any electrical needs in the future. Magical electric is what you hope for, but rarely get in a contractor. Highly recommend!

What the ever-loving-f***…read more I don't know why this guy gets so many good reviews. Called him in the evening, because his hours are listed until 2 am and other reviews have mentioned late/non-business-hour calls. Gruff pick up (no hello this is, etc, just a garbled sound); thinking i have the wrong number I ask for Andre of Blue Star Lighting & Electrical, he asks who is this and I give him my name, to which he (in a rude manner) says "and *who* is this Chris Lee?" Flabbergasted, I responded after a few stunned seconds "I'm looking for an electrician?" To which he again responds, with a rude manner, "You *know*, I'm on vacation right now," which terminates the call. OH SORRY, didn't have your google calendar open to consult before deigning to disturb his majesty's time! Unprofessional to say the least. Won't be getting my business, put me in a bad mood to boot (as if having spontaneous electrical problems that warranted an evening call didn't darken my mood enough).
