DBS Electric

I called Doug to install 2 ceiling fans (not just change existing ones but drill/rewire/the works). He was on time, very helpful, reasonable, did excellent work, and was funny as all hell. He explained everything in detail and I felt comfortable having him in my house. After the fans, I had him fix a shotty job my handyman did (note, doesn't waste time with a handyman) and hide my tv cords behind the wall. Seriously, one of the best people I have worked with in the home repair industry. I highly recommend him and will call him for future jobs.

Doug did a great job. The wall he had to cut into, he repaired so well, I could just paint over it. It took him less time than he quoted, so that was a good surprise too, $100.00 less than I was quoted. I'm happy.

I called DBS about my problem - Doug arrived the same day and did the requested inspection and replaced the rodent damaged attic wire that I had noticed. He also pointed out and corrected an improper electrical wiring connection done by a previous (air conditioning) contractor. He charged what I consider a fair price. Will use again the next time I need an electrician.

I am selling my condo and needed to redo the kitchen light before it goes on the market so I called Doug at DBS hoping he could help me in my short time crunch.

He was not only able to help me and did a great job but also his price tag was less than what I thought I would have to spend.

Sometimes it is much more efficient and better all around to hire a professional that actually knows what they are doing to do the work.

Doug helped us properly set up the electrical for a mini-frig in a barbique island. We needed him on short notice and he came through for us. He did a great job. Felt sorry for him because it was such a hot sunny day but not a complaint from him. In fact, he said sweating it out keeps him in shape. Such a good work ethic. He has got to be the friendliest electrician we have ever met. Will definitely use him for other electrical projects in the future.

I found myself on a Sunday night with half the power in my house out, and the breaker wouldn't reset. I work from home so I needed to get some help as my computer set up was in the downed half, as was the cable connection for WiFi.
Doug called me en route to his first morning appointment and promised to come out as soon as he finished that. He did. He was there in less than 90 minutes and though it was more complicated than we thought, he got me back in business [literally] in half an hour and had the parts he needed with him. I had him do a few extra things and learned a lot about electricity- like someoone who owns some SHOULD know...
The best recommendation actually comes from my dog, however. I am tempted to write a separate review from him.... I'll just include it here though:
Hi. I'm a good dog, but I am VERY protective of my human, and I screen everyone who comes to the door. Doug passed muster. He's a dog person, and also instantly noticed that I am a ""flight risk"". He was careful to respect that going in and out. I did not need to be on leash, and was able to supervise his work the whole time. This is important, not because I want to learn electricity, but because I am in charge of what comes in and goes out of the house. And walls. Everything checked out here, I'm given to understand that his pricing was very reasonable, and I'm good to go for his return visit to upgrade some outlets.
He does not have treats, but because he works with you even if you sit on his notebook, I'll give him a pass on that. G.

Doug is so honest and professional. I had some outlets not working and called him initially to book an appointment. He tried to help me over the phone as he first suspected a tripped GFI. I tried resetting some of the GFI's nearby the broken outlets and it didn't work.

He came for a service call and it turns out it was me forgetting to reset one of the circuit breakers. He didn't charge me a dime. He also give me a few tips for what to look for in the future when similar things happen.

Doug is just a great guy and would recommend him to anyone I know.

I can't say enough good things about an honest guy who shows up, does a very high quality job, and honors his pricing. Doug has a lot of pride in his work and went the extra mile to make sure our recessed LEDs were put in right and look great. He made sure to tarp and mask off the area, and cleaned up before he left at night so we wouldn't have a mess. Very polite and knowledgable. Recommend him to anyone.

I thought I had a bad GFI, or perhaps a bad circuit breaker, that was tripped and would not switch back on again. I spoke to Doug this morning, after calling 4 other electricians. The other electricians all wanted to come out and charge me a flat fee, to look at my problem. Doug took the time to ask me questions on the problem. Within a 5 minute conversation on the phone, my problem was fixed and I got a quick review of my GFI's and electrical panel. It did not cost me a dime. Doug is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, and honest. I would use him for any of my electrical work.

Thank you Yelp for helping me find DBS Electric. Used Doug's service twice! Does a great job and got the job done fast! He took his time to find the problem and made sure it was installed correctly. Will use him in the future again! Highly recommend him.
