Lights Out

Called Brett to hang a new fixture. He promptly scheduled my appointment. He arrived on time and with a friendly smile. He suggested an install that would save me some bucks. Love it. He worked super fast. We talked Cleveland Browns football. New fixture looks great. Brett rules. Call him.

I give Brett 5 stars. No need to go into a long story but what really pleased me was Brett's attention to detail, he did everything in a careful and precise manner, and cleaned up after the job. His professional but easygoing manner was much appreciated. We also did not have to wait more than a few days for an appointment. Highly recommended.

After reading the Yelp reviews, we called Brett to help us fix our doorbells, both of which had smoked like mad during a party when the doorbell button had gotten stuck. Although he typically works primarily on lighting, he squeezed us in within two days, showed up on time, and had it all fixed in about half an hour -- including his trip to the local hardware store to replace one of the doorbells. He even helped us fix our 1930s-era mechanism -- not really in his job description but he was able to troubleshoot it and fix it with some well-placed WD40. For the first time since we bought the house, the doorbell sounds loud and beautiful. I'd recommend him to anyone!

I had remodeled about 5 years ago and had been trying (unsucessfully) to get my old contractor to come by and look at some problems.. I finally called Brett after reviewing several other electricians on Yelp as well as one other electrician with the BBB. I had been living with several annoying problems for between several months to a couple of years and hadn't gotten around to calling anyone, mostly out of concern for cost. The biggest problem, or at least what I perceived to be a big problem, Brett solved over the phone for me...! And, here I'd been living with this situation for months, had already tried several things, spent $50 trying different things....! And, within 5 minutes, he talked me through the problem! That was enough for me to have him come by and look at my other two annoying things, one was replacing the guts of one of the sconces in a bathroom vanity, which he did in under 30 minutes for less than $86. The other problem was replacing under cabinetry light that had been running hot for months. I thought it was going to be a nightmare to fix. Again, he managed to do it in less than 30 minutes and replace the 3 lights. That cost less that $108 (time and materials). I'm having him come back again to install a ceiling fan in the master bedroom. This guy is great! I almost don't want to post because I'm afraid he'll become too popular!

One of our wall sconce lights went out and it looked like it just needed a new halogen bulb. After only two tries, I got the right length and we put it in. But it still didn't work. We shook it a little but nothing happened. My partner didn't want to get electrocuted and said we needed to find an electrician.

Now in the past, we've been lazy and left such issue unresolved for months at a time. I didn't want half a light in that room so I looked up electricians in San Francisco and found Brett's yelp listing. Looked good, called him, and he came by that same afternoon. Very easy going guy and he was also helpful in identifying other potential electrical-improvements in our house. We've been trying to find an electrician that we could trust for awhile for such smallish projects, and Brett seems to be a match.

(And the issue with our wall sconce light was just that the ""new"" bulb was bad. It won't work when the little metal thingy wiggles when you shake it. Had we tried inserting the 2nd new bulb that I thoughtfully purchased at the same time, we would've saved a visit from Brett. But then I wouldn't know what to get to replace our kitchen under-counter lights and justify another future visit from Brett.)

I hired a Handyman to come in and put dimmers in four rooms of my house. He said no problem; then he gets to my place and says he can only do dimmers on lights that have 1 switch--WTF. I stopping F'in around and found an electrician on Yelp.

Brett came to the rescue. He came in with the right dimmers--much nicer quality than the one the ""HandyMan"" had installed, so I had him replace that one too. His price per hour was competitive and he does not mess around. Brett was totally efficient and friendly, and I will use him again.

I'm. So. Happy.

We finally found an electrician who (a) showed up on time, (b) didn't charge an arm and a leg, and (c) was able to fix our very finicky kitchen lights. Brett is a very professional electrician who has fixed all of our electrical issues so far, and he's nice to boot.

Give him a whirl, you won't be disappointed.

An update! one of the switches Brett installed for me seemed to be having a problem( had nothing to do with the installation, was a manufacturer's defect) Brett was nice enough to come back and replace it at no additional cost! Now, that's standing behind your work!
He was also extremely nice about it. I wouldn't hesitate at all recommending him for your electrical problems/projects.

Brett did a great job fixing our front door light. He gave us a fair price. He worked around my schedule. I was 30 min late but he waited for me to arrive. I recommend him to anyone who needs an electrician. He is professional and gives you a great price!

Brett came into my business and quickly assessed what was wrong with my lighting. I had recently bought a 15 yrs old business and the previous owner had rigged the fluorescent light s in a way that I had never seen before.
Brett had the ballast replaced and the new lights in ASAP.
I have a small printing business and viewing printed material under the correct light is essential. Brett recommended a solution that fit my budget and solved my problems.
I wouldn't say Brett is the cheapest electrician in town, but if you explain your dilemma up front you get more than your money's worth.
