After placing a call and message to Karl, I got a kind and very responsive return call where I able to discuss my poor garage lighting, new outside camera light installation and desire to remove all exposed wiring in the garage (installed by the previous homeowner that violated the National Electrical Code).

Karl Sherry arrived on-site the same day as our initial phone call to assess the project scope and develop a fixed price project cost. We agreed (in person) on the project scope of my requirements and Karl's competitive proposal and his recommendations for lighting fixture product selection, layout and wiring clean-up and new construction. I was able to clearly share in advance my project acceptance criteria. We agreed on a same week installation date and time (that was promised that Karl would reconfirm work date/time).

Karl Sherry 1) was responsive to my project, 2) obtained and installed guaranteed reliable maintenance-free LED lighting fixtures with ceiling layout recommendations to provide sufficient lumen intensity to eliminate all shadows in the garage, 2) confirmed ARO
with me same week)work date/time, 3) worked on high ladders to remove non-compliant wiring and install new equipment per National Electrical Code regulations, 4) mounted, installed, tested and aimed new outside floodlight and security camera coverage/best image) (meeting and addressing all of my requirements using a 'live installation/see the results"" discussion with me (that the flood light and camera were positioned from my standpoint), and 5) delivered all material, design and labor on-time related to the proposed service based on our mutually agreed fixed bid format.

I found a Nevada County based electrical contractor who is honest, reliable, responsive, competitive and kind! An electric contractor who really listens to their Customer. A contractor who understands the value and results of a Customer who insists on hiring a ""local business"" who is CA State licensed contractor. Karl Sherry really cares about Customer satisfaction and delivered craftsman quality workmanship and Customer satisfaction (along with kind words with me during the Project). I will definitely rehire Karl Sherry and his Team anytime to do my electrical work.

Very quick to respond, schedule, and complete our project. Took the time to make sure everything worked perfectly before calling the job complete.

I had called up another company but they did not call me back for 5 days, so I called Karl Sherry Electric.
The guy who answered the phone was Larry and he immediately told me he has another appointment in Alta Sierra, but he might be able to squeeze me in.
In and hour Larry was here and fixed my electrical problem, and did so with a fair price as well.
They have my future biz for sure.

I have been waiting on Electricians for over 2 months. I wish I would have reached out to Karl Sherry sooner. They initially gave me a 2 week timeline which was totally understandable in this COVID crazy time. 3 days later they called and said they would be in the area later that day and asked if I would be home for them to take a look. They arrived about 45 minutes later and gave me a 2 hour estimate and the tech (Larry) was super confident in that proposal. He also said that his day opened up and that he could do it now! After an hour and half he was finished and everything was working again!!! Super communicative and super smart. I would recommend these guys again and again!

After talking a good game the company never showed for the appointment, never called to cancel, or return any of my subsequent calls.

These guys rock! They came out to do some repairs - then a contractor messed something up, so I called them back and they quickly came out to re-fix things They're super responsive, courteous, helpful in explaining the issue(s) and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them.

Had an emergency electrical problem Friday morning, and it had to be fixed before that evening. Found Karl Sherry on this website, so I called. He answered in person, and after explaining what the problem was, he said he would leave another job nearby and come over. He came within 45 minutes and the electrical problem was solved by him within an hour. Everyone was happy that evening with the lighting results. Thanks Karl.

Our experience with Karl Sherry Electric has been terrific. We had several problems in our new house. Several outlets to replace and many lights to change out. Larry was responsive, punctual and professional. We are happy to have an electrician to call that we can depend on. Very professional.
