Company Overview

We at PJ Erwin Electric are dedicated to exceptional craftsmanship. Our primary focus includes remodels and panel upgrades. After we wrap up a project, we feel accomplished, you feel content, and your electrical system is both safe and superior.

Our relationship with clients motivates us to come to work each day. We appreciate your intelligence and provide insights into your electrical system, based on your preferred level of detail.

I served as a professor at Oaksterdam University, focusing on electrical safety and principles. I crafted a fun and educational lecture on troubleshooting for the Oakland tool lending library. We are committed to making intricate information accessible to everyone.

If you're ready to partner with a company that prioritizes integrity and clear communication, reach out to us! My father dedicated 40 years to the electrical industry. I started assisting him as soon as I could hold tools. After obtaining several undergraduate degrees, I opted to pursue my license, discovering that practical work was far more satisfying.

As a third-generation Californian and second-generation electrician, I was born in Oakland. I've visited almost every continent (including Antarctica twice!), but the Bay Area is where I truly belong. I earned a double major in Cultural Anthropology and Biology at UC Santa Cruz. My international studies have broadened my perspective on life. For me, electricity is just a way to engage with others!

I have to give Pete and Christian my highest recommendation. It's hard to imagine a better experience with an electrician (or someone from any trade). Pete was incredibly patient and flexible on scheduling and worked with me closely setting up a same-day disconnect/reconnect meter upgrade. He was available, on time, and gave detailed and accurate quotes. He is easy to work with, too, and I was able to coordinate replacing a section of damaged/missing siding behind the meter enclosure while the job was going on. He also had a great rapport with the PGE technician and the city inspector (the inspector mentioned that he'd worked with Pete and Christian before, and thinks they do great work).

Pete, Christian and team worked on our house and carport for 3.5 days. Pete did a comprehensive and thoughtful assessment and followed up with the most detailed quote I received from several electricians. They were on time each day or let me know ahead even when they'd be minutes late. Their work was to spec but also conscientious of the intent of the project; they offered suggestions along the way and made small upgrades where I accepted, e.g. ground-protected certain outlets and fixtures that didn't require it but made sense as an extra safety precaution near water and where children play. They even got dirty by swinging my pickaxe to fine tune the angle of a ditch for their conduit.

Top quality job. Very professional. Good people. Highly recommend.

Pete and his team were great to work with and gave me honest advice on what was important to fix in my old house and what could be left alone. I highly recommend Pete to anyone.

Pete is awesome! I completely trust his judgement and expertise on everything electrical. He has a lot of experience and his quality work shows. I think I must of had luck on my side as I was able to call Pete and he was out that day to give a quote. Just two days later and he had completely installed a new main panel. The work is quality and the service is above and beyond. Thank you so much.

Peter and his team are wonderful. Peter is highly responsive, follows up and keeps you posted on his schedule and availability. Able to estimate actual time to complete the job. On time, on budget, and high quality work. I already have more projects to engage him and his team. Thanks Peter for being a quality person and making this so easy.

Pete, Christian and Max are stars: these guys are professional, fast, knowledgeable, honest . . .and just plain nice! I should know, because I am a licensed contractor myself, and a retired Senior City Planner who granted or denied permits for home improvements. I wish every homeowner might be fortunate enough to find contractors like P.J.Erwin. They did our job quickly and to perfection, while protecting our furnishings, landscape, and structure adjacent to their work areas.
How many contractors are genuinely glad to see their fellow workers and clients each morning? And it was a pleasure to see them.
I'm not given to gushing about contractors. Find out for yourself -- give Pete a call.

Pete replaced our main & subpanels and the wiring in between them. Our house's electrical wasn't easy to work with but he gave us all the time we needed in person to think & talk through how to do the job with the least visual impact to our house. He was so easy to work with and explained things in a very easy to understand way. You can tell he's really into what he does. He came in slightly below other offers but his quality was superior! We will definitely use Pete for anything in the future. He communicated well and was on schedule. I can't recommend him highly enough!

★★★☆☆

Pete is super nice and responsive, which are important qualities in a contractor. On the downside, he is quite expensive. Although Pete's work is good, it isn't good enough for those prices. He missed some details on our project, and for the high price, we expected more.

Pete saved our bacon! I pulled a breaker and found that our main breaker was fried. Stuck with no electricity I started calling 5 star Yelp electricians. This first guy treated me like a hysterical girl. Then I called Pete: He kindly explained that our breaker system was faulty and why. Pete said we could quick fix the existing breaker, but we'd likely continue to have problems and he suggested a breaker box replacement. I called around, asked friends in the ""know"" and they confirmed my breaker system needed replacement, so we decided to go with Pete. He got the job done fast and efficiently and under budget. But beyond that, he is such a great person: informative, personable, engaged and simply a joy to work with. I can't recommend Pete enough.
