Very responsive & does quality work. I've used Steve for several projects over the past few years.

I needed light fixture replaced in a very hard to reach area. No problem for Steve! He called when he said he would. He showed up promptly as scheduled. He did an awesome job! So happy with the results. read more

Unable to give a 4.5 star rating. We removed 1/2 a star because we were frustrated that we took time out of our busy schedule to make arrangements for them to come out. They were scheduled to arrive between 4-6pm. They called and postponed it for the next day between 1-3pm. At 3pm my husband called them and asked if they're ever going to show up and they apologize saying "What, no one called you to tell you that we're unable to make it?". Apparently they were going to postpone it again, but we fell through the cracks. They apologized profusely and wanted to reschedule it AGAIN for the following week with a 10% discount. Long story short, the owner called my husband back within 10 minutes and apologized - we gave them a second chance and made an appointment for someone to show up the next day between 10am-12pm. The owner, which we didn't know at that time, showed up 1/2 hour early and did a fantastic job. He apologized multiple times for us falling through the cracks. With that being said, he gets a 5 star rating and we'll definitely use them again. But next time if they need to postpone - once is fine, but 2+ times is not acceptable. read more

Have used Steve and his crew for several jobs over the last 5-7 years. They've been reliable, competent, don't try to upsell, do small and large jobs, and reasonable prices. Checks all the boxes for us! read more

Was on time, was able to trouble shoot the problem quickly and solved the problem within minutes. Terrific value.

Steve came out to assess, and gave me a great estimate. He gave me his suggestions and we took it to heart. Now our kitchen looks great after he added a third light over our island, along with under cabinet lights. George and his partner who installed the lighting did a fantastic job. There was a challenge with some of the wiring from the wall being too short, but George worked his magic and now we have lights!! Thank you all for a job well done! Unfortunately because of such a great job I'm gonna have to send you guys the rest of my "Honey Do," list! Thanks again! read more

Super team. We're happy with the troubleshooting done for our complex problem and happy the technician gave us the simple option to fix/ we had another electrician for our inside light switch problems and he was done so fast that we were happily surprised. Competent, friendly team. Good support team as well read more

My daughter who is my POA real estate for me, arranged for this contractor to come out and look at a buzzing noise in the garage. Charles his tech, could not find it, but took time to eval and quote a much needed light above the kitchen sink. When he came back he found the buzz ... and took care of it ... as well as advised on lamp settings for two other fixtures, and installed the kitchen light (which was more difficult than expected). He covered kitchen areas with plastic and took great care with the mess. We are extremely happy with the prompt professional service and great sense of humor. Found a great electrician! read more

Very prompt and very efficient. Jonathan was my electrician and he was polite and well spoken. Very comfortable to have in my home. This was the first time to use this company after reading about them in South County magazine. read more

I originally had an an appointment for these folks to show up at my house on August 10th at 8:30!A.M. They never showed up and they never called. Later that day, I called them and told them that I waited around, but they never showed up and never called. I made it clear that I wasn't happy, especially because they just left me hanging. Later that day I did get a call back. At that time, the fellow said that, gee, he was sorry but they had some personnel issues. When I asked why I didn't get the courtesy of a phone call he responded that they were just too but and it slipped their mind. So, with misgivings, I agreed to reschedule them for the following Tuesday , August 15th. This time, they did show up, two young decent guys. They went to work and, approximately 45 or 50 minutes later they said they had fixed the problems and they were done. I gave them a check for $175.00, the agreed upon hourly rate and they left. With 15 or 20 minutes thereafter, I got two phone calls and a voicemail saying I owed them an additional charge of $11.00 for parts. No problem. Approximately two hours later, I discovered that two master bathroom sockets ( for which I had primarily called them) still didn't work. So I called back. Approximately two and a half hours later they did return. This time they again appeared to have fixed the problem. Thereupon they left. Before going further, let me say that these guys themselves were wonderful; they were extremely pleasant and appeared to know their business. I find no fault with them whatsoever. Can't say the same for their employer. Within 15-20 minutes of their leaving I got still another, additional bill from the Carter plumbing company. This time they demanded another $37.50! No explanation. At that point I emailed them and advised them I had no intention of paying them additional moneys for all the inconvenience they caused me. I would have absolutely no problem hiring the two guys themselves again. As to Carter Plumbing, no way. read more

Love their office staff, Lauren & Barbara! Cal and his team are awesome as well.

They look fantastic and we are so happy!! read more

SCE fit me in last minute today after we found several non-functioning outlets. Always concerned with electricity causing more problems so like getting things taken care of ASAP.

Wow! We are so happy with the work Steve Carter has done for us. Our team today was Johnny, Ken and Bob. We needed two ceiling fans installed (where none previously existed). They did a great job! I love my ceiling fans! We also had two LED recessed lights added to my very dark laundry room. What an improvement! An additional job they completed for us is the outdoor fountain timer. It has not worked since we moved in a few months ago and originally installed not to code, with exposed wires and such. They fixed it in no time. It's so nice to hear the fountain! If you want the job done right, we highly recommend Steve Carter Electric! read more

This is the second time that we have used Steve Carter electric. Steve himself came out to give us a quote along with really good advise. In one day they were able to install a new chandelier in a high ceiling, add plugs for a new tankless water heater and garage door openers. They also added four recessed lights in our home office. Plus they installed Lutron Caseta switches so I can control everything by my phone. The crew was extremely professional. When it was getting late they called in reinforcements so they could get the job done in one day. They cleaned up after themselves and were very courteous all day. They wore masks at our request with no hesitation. Office staff was very pleasant and accommodating with scheduling and billing. Highly recommend. read more

We would not trust anyone else with our electric jobs: Steve Carter is simply the best!! Steve's team just helped us with another electrical job, and our experience was as great as the first time: Steve and his team are timely, professional, they provide amazing customer service, their honesty and integrity are a huge plus, it is an absolute pleasure to do business with Steve Carter and his team. For our first job, I was very impressed with Steve's diagnostics and the solutions he provided to resolve some challenges with our entertainment center's lighting. Everything turned out perfectly. Chris was very good with the execution and job details. For our second job (TV installation), Jayson and Jimmy were stellar!! After the TV installation job there were a few things that required follow up. Steve Carter's "Power Team" (JD, Jayson, and Vlad) provided incredible follow up and customer service; this was as professional, high quality, and "right on" as the other times. Steve's customer service and pride of ownership are hard to match. What a wonderful team of professionals! Hats off to Steve and his team! read more

A two man team arrived and introduced themselves. They arrived in safety masks and very friendly. We went over the list from the quote before they started and asked if I had any questions. They were very professional. If they had questions regarding location of where I want an outlet, etc., they asked. When everything was complete, they walked me through everything that was done and made sure I was happy with everything before they left. Great communication. The gals at the office were very helpful when I called with questions. I will definitely be using them in the future. read more

Our clothes dryer recently stopped working so we had an appliance repair person out to fix it. He informed us that the problem was an electrical issue, not the dryer. A friend referred us to Steve Carter. He was able to come out the very next day. Steve and his assistant were immediately friendly and professional and listened as I explained the situation. Steve quickly determined the problem and fixed it. My whole experience was nothing but positive and terrific. I was very impressed with Steve and his assistant.

There are better out there. read more
