Lex Electric

I'd like to write an update to a previous review in which I was critical of Lex for not following up on a phone inquiry. He did eventually call back and do the work. In person he is courteous and knowledgeable, and he seems very competent. He did the job he promised at the price that he indicated, and was patient in working with PG&E to have them carry out the inspection. I enjoyed dealing with Lex, and wish him the best as his business grows -- the fact that he has a lot of demand for his services is an indication that customers appreciate him.

I had Lex come out to bid a job consisting of a bunch of small tasks at our place in Terra Linda. He was on time and checked everything out very thoroughly, asking me questions and providing feedback to me about some of the details I hadn't considered. At the end of the day I felt like Lex took more time to understand the project and what hurdles there might be so I decided to go with him over another local contractor who is popular on Yelp.

On the day of the work to be done, Lex arrived with one of the two guys who would be doing the work. The other did not show up until a couple hours later, but he got to work right away and seemed to be more focused on the job than his partner (Lex had departed by this point). I worked along side them on other chores and had to reel one of the guys in a couple of times. I didn't mention to any of them that I used to run a welding crew and taking shortcuts is not going to pass with me. It was fairly minor stuff, but none the less.

I agreed to do the drywall patching since I was doing a bunch of drywall work anyway. This saved me some money and didn't add much hassle to my end. The problem was however, more than half of the cut outs were NOT saved for me to replace as patches, so I had to then square all the holes that the crew cut, measure, and then cut new patches. This was not as Lex advised the guys and I didn't realize it until after they had disposed of some of the cut outs.

Overall it was a really long (and hot) day and the guys worked very hard to get everything buttoned up. Lex came by a couple times to check the progress and stuck around near the end of the day. We did a couple of extra things which I was charged very fairly for. Lex is a very easy going and knowledgeable guy, I would give him personally 4 or 5 stars. His workers were also nice guys but they weren't perfect.

I won't hesitate to use Lex again, but next time I might be a little more direct about what I expect from the crew. Hopefully I can upgrade this to a 4 star rating some time down the road.

I hired Lex Electric to wire my condo and then install two ceiling fans. His two electrical professional gentlemen that did the work were fantastic. The fans and wiring were done to perfection. The price was reasonable and the quality of the work is more than 5 stars. Lex was knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I will recommend Lex Electric and his associates to everybody.

Lex is probably a fine electrician, but we never had the chance to find out. Called him several times, and each time he was courteous and friendly but failed to follow up: didn't call back when he said he would, didn't show up when he said he would, didn't call back once again when he said he would. This was a disappointment after reading a number of positive reviews -- I normally have an optimistic outlook on life, and kept hoping Lex would provide a better response. My guess is that his practice has grown and he's now got more logistics than he can handle with a one-man operation and sketchy cell coverage at some work sites. I hope he hires an assistant soon to help him with the logistics.

5 stars!!?? What a joke! He's in the segment that tells you he can serve you on your timeline & then sends you a text after 900 pm stating that he can't come til the following week. My advice: find an electrician who does what he says he will do! Silver lining: I never had to see his actual performance.

Lex has done work for me twice in my frame shop (www.marinframes.com). He is professional, approachable, and charges a fair price. I used another company once and was shocked at their over inflated prices. I will only use Lex from now on.

Nice, ethical, thorough guy. Took care of three small jobs in an hour. Also did a larger project for my girlfriend; on time and on budget. Pleasure to work with.

Our home was built in the 40's and still has the original wiring. After doing some DIY to some of our light fixtures I came across a few where the old wiring was fried and the insulation on the wires had crumbled. I called Lex because of the reviews he got on Yelp. Lex did great work at a fair price. We also wanted to get the wiring in place for some pocket lights, but ended up having him install the lights as well.

He really listens to what you want and/or the issues are and makes suggestions as to how to resolve or go about installation. He is a very honest and reliable businessman and will refer him to anyone who needs electrical work done.

Lex came to install a couple dinner switches. The process of scheduling and communicating was extraordinary, especially in a day and age where service, thoughtfulness and integrity are dying arts. I highly recommend Lex if you want a job done right, with ease and high regard.

Lex is great! I hired Lex to install updated electrical panels, rewire the garage, and take care of many ""smaller"" jobs in my 50 year old home. Actually, I initially hired him for the first two jobs but was so impressed that I hired him for the additional jobs. He not only is well versed in the electrical code but he gave great advice on the best approaches for optimal results. I knew all costs up front and his rates were very good. I highly recommend Lex!
