From a young age, I worked alongside my father, an electrical contractor, gaining experience in the electrical trade. Before establishing my business, I served as a Journeyman for multiple contractors, notably Richard Craig Electric in Vallejo.
Having a father who was an electrical contractor, I started learning the trade as a child, navigating attics and crawl spaces to install wiring. As I matured, I expanded my knowledge, spending years as an apprentice and Journeyman while mastering the electrical code. With California Licenses (#1102526) and Certifications (#169312), I guarantee that your project will be executed properly from the start. My diverse experience in residential projects allows me to work well with homeowners, landlords, real estate agents, and virtually anyone. Throughout your project, you will have direct communication with me.

Recommended Customer Reviews
Jim was wonderful. We purchased an electric car and he gave us fair price and worked around our schedule to make it work. Other places will charge you over $1000 for a 240, but Jim was reliable, fair, responsive, and accommodating. He also took the time to explain everything as well. I highly recommend him and wold use him again!
Debbie K.1st Choice Electric is PHENOMENAL!! I highly recommend this company. Jim is extremely responsive, & knowledgable. I am selling my house and had an electric issue that had to be fixed quickly. Jim was very understanding and made time in his busy schedule to help me. He located and fixed the issue discussed on the inspection report, plus one more. Very professional and all around a great person. Thank you Jim so much for helping me out! I have already given your card to several of my family and friends. Anyone that has an electric issue call 1st choice electric service Jim is the best!!
Jim sent his partner on a Saturday to troubleshoot my house electrical circuit breaker problems. After a temp repair Jim suggested I needed to replace my outdated Zinsco Main and Sub panel as they are now actually a safety hazard (no kidding google it). I could have changed either the Main or Sub but decided to replace both. His estimate was reasonable compare to other contractors. I scheduled the work for two days as I figure each panel replacement would take one day each. However, in one day he replace both the Main outside panel and home inside CB panel. On top of that he rewired a rig job that someone had done (and did no know about) inside my garage at NO extra charge. He answered all the questions I had and did a detailed professional job. I had power in my home on the same day by 3PM. I would definately recommend his services. Mike
Jim was great! Got ahold of me and stayed in contact even with my busy schedule. Worked around his schedule with me to get the job done quick! Couldnt give enough credit or praise to Jim.
Yen P.Jim, the owner, was responsive and came quickly to provide us with a quote. Price was very competitive and job was done in a timely manner. We interviewed 4 other companies and decided to go with 1st Choice Electric Service since Jim was able to comprehensively provide the work we need plus more to get our house ready for kitchen and master renovation. We were provided with solutions that benefit us for the future. We appreciate the expertise recommendation, efficient work, and Jim's readiness to help!
Jim was able to quickly diagnose a long-standing issue I had with my garage wiring and fix it in under 30 minutes. Worth every penny, and I'd be happy to use him again should I need an electrician.
Ab J.I had Jim come out a second time to my house for an electrical issue. He came out on his day off to come look at my problem and I am so glad that he was able to. We spent 2 hrs looking for loose wire that was causing my problems. Not only was he patient in trouble shooting the problem, he showed me how to address some of the issues he found, how many professionals would actually take the time to teach you how to do things. He is one of the nicest, helpful, caring individuals I've had the pleasure of meeting. Jim should be the first person you cal!
Licensed AND certified I'm so happy I found Jim who came same day to fix an outlet. Very reasonably priced and honest I've found my electrician of choice for any electrical needs. He's very transparent in explaining what went wrong and how he fixed. Highly recommend!

Jim was recommended by a neighbor, and I'm so thankful we found him! We recently moved, and had a long list of small/medium jobs to tweak the place more to our liking. Jim was quick to respond, quick to come out to give a quote (which matched the final invoice), and quick to start and finish the jobs. He is friendly, professional, and my dog grew to really enjoy him. Jim has installed garage lighting, ceiling fans, can lights, and done even more for us. If ever I need an electrician again, I plan on using Jim, 100%!
