Hillsborough Electric
Company Overview
I focus on home electrical tasks and troubleshooting in Hillsborough. I launched my work in Contra Costa County in the 80s, managing a team of 10 electricians performing full house wiring. Eventually, I downsized and established my business in Marin during the 90s.
Ultimately, I moved my operations to San Mateo County. I work independently to provide custom care and attend to my customers' requirements for efficient solutions.
Greetings, I have been a domestic electrician for over 30 years and have lived in the Bay Area my entire life.
Prior to becoming an electrician, I managed my own repair service, which honed my skills in home repair tasks.
This knowledge is beneficial when I must change something to ensure an electrical repair is both functional and visually appealing.

Recommended Customer Reviews

I had a great experience with Hillsborough Electric. The response was prompt and Bob solved my problem quickly and efficiently. I will not hesitate to call them again.

The key for me in my dealings with Hillsborough Electric was they are very responsive. Always responding back within minutes and following up if they haven't heard from you in a while. This level of service was top notch and he took the time to explain the various options and what he recommends.

Bob is a great guy and what a professional! I just asked for him to come out to troubleshoot and he figured out the most likely cause within minutes. He gave me a hint and I went and found the GFI to re-set. Now, all fixed and as he said, he didn't need to come out and I saved myself $250. I will need some solid electrical work done around the house soon and will certainly ask Bob to help us with the work. Thanks Bob!!

I hired Bob to install a new 240 outlet. His final install is clean and professional. I'm happy with the final look and he made sure the outlet was facing in the proper direction for the intended use. Additionally he noticed that my fuse box/panel was not properly grounded! He fixed that issue for free (it was a minor fix, but still very important). I'd hire him again!

Bob was really helpful to me in finding alternate solutions for my problem. Thanks so much.

Bob did a great job with fixing our 3 hallway lights and patio light. The hallway lights had never worked since we moved in, and there was no current flowing to them. Bob figured out where the switches were, and that the previous owners had put a blank wall plate over the switches in a botched remodeling project. It was a complex problem, and we are really glad we hired Bob. He clearly knew what to investigate and was very thorough. The simpler problem of our patio light only took a few minutes for him to fix. Bob is clearly an expert electrician, and if we have any more problems we are definitely calling him. He is reliable and responsive via text.

Bob responded to my request quickly. Once we talked on the phone and explained the situation, he gave me an estimate and came over to the location to look at it. The next day he finished the job and even did the job for less than estimated because I had an electrical outlet that did not need to be replaced. I appreciate the honesty! Thanks Bob, I will be calling you in the future for more electrical work.

Bob is very responsive, professional, and pays very close attention to detail. He installed a new external outlet for our house, which we're using for a new tankless water heater. The work he did looks like it was part of the original house construction.

Bob executed the complicated installation of a fragile, antique Fortuny chandelier. He was patient and thorough and I was happy I had entrusted this work to him. I recommend Bob highly - he did a terrific job with my unique situation.

Bob was able to identify and fix an issue with crackling noises coming from an electrical panel two other electricians were unable to. He carefully listened to my observations over the phone, and arrived with a well thought out plan of actions, in contrast with the ""let's try random things and the issue might disappear"" strategy I witnessed in the past. It's clear that Bob knows what he's doing, and a few minutes after he came in I knew he would eventually fix the issue. I highly recommend hiring Bob for any non-straightforward jobs. A slogan has never been more true: ""relax... call the bobcat... it's done!""
