Ayala Electric

N B.

This review is really long overdue.

Michael Ayala has done amazing work for various members of my family over the last year. The work has been varied in scope, from complex problem solving, to helping with a whole-home remodel, to the more straightforward - but every time, Michael has personally delivered a consistent and exceptional experience.

Michael's work is characterized by meticulous workmanship, top notch professionalism and integrity, and a demonstration of mastery and expertise in his trade. And, he is just a really nice and hard working person.

I know electricians must often employ guesswork, as they don't have X-ray vision to see behind walls and ceilings. They often have to commit to proposals based on existing wiring that they can't actually see, which puts their cost of labor and materials at stake. Their line of work must be very challenging when it comes to meeting their clients' expectations of a fixed price and timeline.

The first time we hired Michael, he impressed us as the ONLY one, out of four electricians we talked to, who demonstrated a willingness and curiosity to problem solve, and the ingenuity to successfully find and execute the solution.

Michael immediately understood that what might be easiest for him (tearing down floor-to-ceiling strips of drywall on 2 floors, as the other three electricians had proposed), was NOT the easiest or best solution for us. Now that the job is done, we can't even tell where he went through the drywall, if at all.

Michael's true mastery of his trade is demonstrated here, where empathy for his clients is a non-negotiable part of his decision making. Finding solutions that are practical, safe, and non-disruptive as possible, is JUST as important to him as connecting the wires, so to speak. In my experience, this is a quality found more often in health care providers than in contractors.

Michael is the real deal. He has a few dozen (all great) reviews - rather than a few hundred - because if you read carefully - every review mentions him by name. He is the owner of his business, the one picking up the phone, showing up to every call, and the one standing by his own work.

He shows up on time, is respectful of your space, is communicative, responsive over text if that's your thing, and extremely patient. He double checks himself on the code where indicated, and even went over it with us when we had questions. So not only is his work safe, it also looks great. Great attention to detail, everything always looks level and sharp. He has proven himself repeatedly trustworthy with respect to how he approaches his proposals and how he bills for his work. His pricing is incredibly fair. For bigger jobs, the help he brought (David in our case) was top notch as well.

Can't say enough about Mr. Ayala. Establishing new relationships with tradespersons can be really stressful and confusing. We are grateful and relieved for the security of knowing all our electrical needs moving forward can be solved with a call to Ayala Electric. Thank you Michael!!

Mike was great! We called him because we were having issues with an outlet in the garage that powered our water heater. Sent him a text after hours and he was prompt in responding and showed up the next morning and fixed our issue. Professional, affordable & knowledgeable. Thanks Mike!

Ayala electric did an amazing job wiring up our new bedroom/bathroom and a sub panel. Michael provides high quality work at a very fair price. Ayala electric will be my first call next time I need any work done.

I contacted them regarding installing outlets and recessed lighting, and I'm thrilled I discovered them on Reddit neighbors post. They provided a reasonable estimate and fulfilled all my requests flawlessly and had great communication. They arrived punctually for the installation, executed everything meticulously and efficiently, leaving the space clean as if they were never there. I highly recommend their services and will definitely keep their contact for future needs. 100%

I hired Michael to do some work in my condo - adding some outlets and dimmer switches, fixing the exhaust fan that was never hooked up right and had never worked, and the doorbell. He was on time, friendly, did the work quickly, and his charges were reasonable. Also, the place was a huge mess, but no complaints from him. I trust him completely in my home. He also recommended a great handyman to me. When the handyman discovered a new electrical issue that needed to be fixed before he could continue his work, Michael came over immediately and fixed it so they could continue. I really appreciated that kind of service. I don't expect that it could happen all the time but I sure was glad it happened that time.

Michael did a great job running power underground to my garage. It came out exactly how I wanted it. I will definitely be using Ayala Electric again in the future for all my electrical needs.

Called Michael yesterday afternoon regarding a problem with an eighty year old subpanel in my garage. Needed it repaired asap due to my garage door was inoperable and so was my washer and dryer. Said he could come by tomorrow morning around 7 AM and replaced two subpanels along with rewiring an outdoor waterfall. Prompt, efficient and very nice to work with. I will hang onto Michael's card and refer to my neighbors. Hopefully no problems in the near future, but I do know who to call if the electrical gremlins strike again.
