Recommended Customer Reviews

Clay installed an EV charging station. The work was excellent, promptly executed and fairly priced. We have used Clay for several projects in our house and have never been disappointed.

Recommend Clay's service. I was treated like family. Responsive, reliable, and highly skilled. Trusted him in my home and business with the crew alone. Good guys with integrity
They are booked up, get in while you can.

I am a coffee shop owner in Palos Verdes Estates , Lunada Bay.
Whenever we needed Electricion we called Clay and he came to our rescue so we would have down time and business would go on as usual.
I am thankful and have great respect for Clay. ( Palos Verdes Electric Company ) .
P/S also very fair and honest with pricing.

Clay help me with two projects recently. One was to fix a light that was incorrectly installed in a shower. The other was much more complicated and involved changing wiring between panels. Both jobs were done well and everything is working perfectly. Clay was easy to communicate with, arrived on time, got the work done in a very reasonable amount of time, and has good rates. I will be using him for all of my future electrical needs. Highly recommend!

Clay did an awesome job on our new kitchen renovation. He also hung two ceiling fans and did a few small projects such as ceiling and porch lights and new outlets. Clay was very friendly and professional and easy to work with especially since it was during the COVID-19 outbreak (Which has not been easy on any of us here in California). I would highly recommend Clay for not only his workmanship but his prices are very reasonable.
I don't think you'll find a better quality or a better priced Electrician here in the Southbay.

He did the work but his price went up 3 times by the time he finished the job. Then went back to the original price if you paid cash with no invoice or guarantee of his work for the year. I feel that's a little dishonest for me. There's no address on his business card. The time he estimated it to take was correct as he said that's why I don't see why his price kept going up.

Great service, quick and reasonable. Very knowledgeable regarding electric problems and has good solution. So very helpful with the problems we were having. Did a great job always. I would highly recommend this company.

Palos Verdes Electric delivered exactly what they described. They were thorough and communicated well. Clay and Pat did excellent work and left the site clean. Thanks! Will call them again.

This company is on time, knowledgeable on all aspects of electrical matters, and fair.

I can't say enough about this company. They are outstanding with all your electrical needs and beyond. High five Clay the owner who knows his stuff and is priced right!
