Recommended Customer Reviews

I called David to take care of what I thought to be a busted switch in my electrical panel, which he was able to asses an instead identify and resolve the true issue. He responded quickly, communicated clearly and worked professionally. I would recommend David for your home electrical repair needs!

David has been excellent! He responded to the initial request for a quote in the same day. He offered an excellent rate and worked hard (all day!) to make sure he finished the job and did it right. He is polite and hardworking. I would highly recommend him for any job!
We had him install a Tesla charger at our home. The end result is highly professional. He did an excellent job overall and was great to work with! He is busy though- but he's worth the wait!

Definitely 5 star worthy ! In desperate need to get my kitchen outlets working after a tear out of counter( United marble and granite Santa Clara , awful co.) and David was so accommodating he came the same day in evening and replaced a gfi and got all my outlets working in an hour!

I have called on David several times in the last two years, as I have been gradually updating my home. First, and most simply, David is one of the few contractors I have worked with who actually picks up his phone when I call. If you live in the Bay Area, you will know how rare this is. He has always performed beautiful and detailed work. David also single-handedly saved my thanksgiving when I managed to fry my breaker panel the day before, and he came out the same day to get my house back in running order.
There are few I can recommend as unreservedly as David Bertsch.

David installed a total of 15 lights for me, 13 recessed and 2 pendant lights. His professionalism, character, and of course great job, led me to write this review.
I highly recommend David for all your lighting needs, and you just may hear a moving story about his life should he work for you!

David was extremely responsible, answers his phone for clients or gets back by text immediately. Customer service is the best!
I had a simple job and he fit me in at the end of his day, the day I called! Extremely efficient, knowledgeable, and reasonable rates. I would rate him NUMBER ONE on yelp! Thank you, David!

David is awesome! After looking for an electrician & looking through many other options I decided to call David for help because of all the good things people had to say about him. They were all true! David not only showed up very quickly, he had things working in under half an hour. He's very professional & he's super nice! I highly recommend him!

David came to my home within an hour of my calling him (he was in the neighborhood) and proceeded to spend the next 3 hours carefully tracking down, diagnosing and fixing a difficult problem. He was very professional, extremely skilled, patient, friendly, honest, responsible, reasonable... everything you could wish for in an electrician. He will always be my first choice henceforth!

David also came by later on and installed several sockets by my breaker box, which I used to install ""Dirty Electricity"" (DE) filters to filter out the DE (or high frequency transients) coming in on the electric wires. David did a fantastic job for a very reasonable price. David is not only an excellent electrician, but he is also just a super nice open-minded and humble guy. Whenever I need any kind of electric work, he will be my ""go-to"" guy.

We had a fairly minor problem due to a DIY failure. David was kind enough to come to our somewhat remote location right away and help my husband straighten things out. I would recommend him for sure.
