James Electric

James has done several projects for us over the past few years. He is very easy to work with. He is professional and always helpful. His crew is also excellent. I recommend James highly.

DANG!! there is nothing more nerve-racking than lights flickering in your home. no, correction..there is. what's worse is when HALF of your lights/plugs flicker and go pffft! and go off. this is what happened at my house. i speculated about the problem, checked some breakers, and was flummoxed. we did the first thing that made sense. we called PG&E and they showed up quickly. they poked around and said, ""nope, the problem is in your house somewhere"". we quickly called James Electric and they promptly called us back and put us on the schedule a few days later. James (bossman) shows up on time, and him and another electrician walked directly to the problem. it was the Meter-box. worse case scenario. there are major hurdles to getting this work done. potential new trenches need to be done, permits, etc. my neighbors graciously all said i could run cords from their home to my important stuff, but it wasnt needed. James Electric did a quick repair so we could put it into limp mode while they secure the permits. they assured us, we were safe. James has been around so long, and they have such a positive reputation, they found PG&E very cooperative. we secure permits in record time, cleared hurdles and 2 days later, my power was shut down, and James Electric went to work!!! when done, a simple phone call to PG&E, they show up, reconnect the service and my home came back to life. Money spent was on super tidy work, fast work, skilled work..and their ability to work so well with the utility. my friend was shocked. in Walnut creek, he was running on neighbors power for over a month!! James Electrical also installed our car charger several months ago, so we were familiar with their level of work and attention to detail. things are straight and plumb. and permitted.

i plan on AC and a new Electrical stove at my home soon. James planned ahead and our new electrical meter panel is ready for future upgrades. thanks JE!! thanks. you all did great.

Took care of our problem completely. Very professional, competent, and personable. Why go elsewhere?

We cannot say enough about the high quality of work and customer service provided to us by James Electric. He and his team were consistently polite, communicative, hard-working, and respectful of Covid protocols. From having our electrical panel replaced to the careful placement of canned and track lighting to the installation of new ceiling fans to trouble shooting existing fixtures, we felt confident that the work would be done right. We are thrilled to have all electrical fixtures working well, and to have new lighting transform spaces in our home. James Electric will be our new go-to for all things electric.

We recently used James Electric to replace some light fixtures and switches as well as the installation of a permanent plug with our electrical panel for a whole-house generator. Their service was excellent and very professional, and they were a pleasure to work with. They were very knowledgeable and took care of the city approval. We highly recommend their services.

I wanted to give a big shout out to James Electric. I called them this week for an upgrade to my circuit breaker. They promptly came by to give me an estimate and ended up doing the job right then and there since they had a cancellation. They gave me a great estimate and followed through. I'd definitely recommend James and his team. Thanks guys!

I have used them before to have my electrical panel replaced after it caught fire and was very happy with the price and the great service. I recently had transfer switches installed so that I can switch to generator backup with there are power outages. They did an outstanding job. James and his crew are fantastic and if I could give them 10 stars I would Price is as good as their excellent work.

I have used James for 2 projects at my office. He is knowledgeable and professional. Has always been straight forward and gets the job done right. I would recommend him for any one.

James Electric was everything I hoped for to do the work of installing my generator. I am not technical and James did the work professionally, was on time, cost effective and trained me on the equipment. Cant ask for more in a contractor. I will use him for ALL future jobs.

After getting 4 quotes, James came in not the cheapest and not the most expensive. He was friendly, polite and very pleasant when he came to assess the job at our home.
His estimate was within 24 hours.
His job order was in 24 hours after we confirmed the job.
His men, Adam and Jacob, came this morning and were wonderful. Clean, respectful, friendly and did a perfect job. Everything was installed to my satisfaction (not an east task) and my home was immaculate when they left.
Would recommend these guys highly.
We plan to use them for an upcoming remodel.
