Growing up, my father was a general contractor who built and remodeled homes. From an early age, I was immersed in the trades and construction.

My parents encouraged me to pursue higher education, so I studied mechanical engineering. My career began at Grumman, where I worked in aerospace. During that time, I invested in real estate and generated enough passive income to retire within five years.

I then chose to pursue the work I truly enjoyed since childhood. On July 7, 1988, Absolute Best Electric was established. Since then, I have consistently worked in this field and have loved every moment.

Hailing from New York, Jim earned his engineering degree from the New York Institute of Technology. In the 1970s and 80s, he was employed in the aerospace sector. Since his arrival in Southern California in 1987, Jim has been dedicated to the electrical contracting business. He is well-suited for this work, continuing a family legacy in home improvements.

Jim is highly qualified, creative, and very reliable electrician. We have used his services at least three times in the past five years, projects complex and simple, large and small. He is very methodical, ethical, economical and reliable. We would not hesitate to hire him again on any complex or simple project, or recommend him to anyone that needs a highly qualified reliable electrician.

Jim has worked on our house twice now. He is very knowledgeable and truly cares about the quality of work he does. For example, while mounting electric boxes he makes every effort to locate and mount against joists instead of using using boxes that hang on to the drywall (old work boxes). He installed two electrical outlets in by bathrooms and managed to avoid any holes and left everything clean and tidy. I rarely feel comfortable leaving a contractor alone to do work but I trust Jim fully. I just stay around to learn from the wealth of information he has to offer. I'm working to get him out again for more work. He is truly a find.

Jim Allen has been our electrician for several years. Having called on him a number of times we know that whether it's for a regular job or an emergency appointment he can be counted on to return calls quickly, show up on time, identify and resolve the issue and always do it for a reasonable price. He's shown himself to be dependable and trustworthy. Highest recommendation to Jim and Absolute Best Electric.

Jim installed two ceiling fans in my kids' rooms, reversed a couple of switches in the bathrooms and kitchen that I didn't like the order of, moved my pool light switch to inside of the house, did a basic visual inspection of my electrical panel, and replaced an old outdoor outlet. I don't remember the total price, but it wasn't a lot. He also explains everything he's doing along the way, too. Great if you're the kind of guy/girl that hangs around the project/worker as it is being done.

I'm going to see if he can put in another ceiling fan (in my living room this time) and/or do some recessed lighting in there.

We were just floored by the quality of service we got at Absolute Best Electric. We were in a bind trying to get some major electrical questions worked out on our older home before we started on some construction work, and Jim came by an solved our problems in one consultation. He's one of the smartest guys we've ever encountered--it was like learning from an electrical engineering professor! He really (REALLY) knows his stuff, and is also just a great guy to work with. He follows up quickly and his pricing is extremely reasonable. We're never using anyone else!
