Roberts Electric Co. was established in 1895 under the name Roberts Manufacturing, specializing in the production of custom gas light fixtures, the favored lighting of the time. With the dawn of the 20th century, as towns shifted from gas to electric lighting, the company embraced this change, transforming into electrical contractors and adopting the name Roberts Electric Co..

RECO is proud of its strong connections to the East Bay community. For over 80 years, the company has remained family-owned, illuminating the lives of countless customers across generations. As Roberts Electric Co. has flourished, it has maintained strong ties to its original location.

The son of the original owners, Dan Pitcock, is a Cal alumnus and continues to be involved in his Oakland community. He takes pride in the lasting relationships he has formed with many customers and the ongoing tradition of excellence. Dan, an avid baseball supporter, holds a position on the Board of Directors for Oakland's Field of Dreams, the baseball field at Oakland Technical High School.

They are a local family-owned business that has been around for a long time. They are very professional and have excellent technicians.

Excellent service. A knowledgeable technician from Robert's was able to diagnose and repair my problem for a reasonable price.

Roberts Electric installed an EV charger for me. They were great! Informative at time of estimate, itemized everything they would provide, and followed through with everything promised. City permit took awhile but as soon as it was approved, they arrived and got the charger and an additional outdoor water resistant plug installed and swapped out another plug that was not to code. Easy to work with, professional and quick! Highly recommend Daniel, Javier and the whole Roberts Electric crew!

Robert's Electric & Team came to the rescue! We had a situation take place after the recent storm; however, Amanda (Office Personnel) & Joe (Electrician) made this difficult situation 100% better. Amanda was extremely responsive during booking and Joe came out to assist. Joe was professional and understanding of our situation. He took the time to explain everything and put us at ease. After, both Joe & Amanda went above and beyond to ensure we were up and running. Communication, follow up, and overall customer service was unmatched. Thank you again!

I've worked with Roberts many times, starting in 2003. They are not cheap but they do good work--as others here have written. But they are s-l-o-w at submitting their estimates. The last time I asked them for a quote, they came out quickly to see the job then promised an estimate in a few days. I continued to call for a few WEEKS. At one point the estimator even assured me that they wanted the job. But I never did hear from them.

Just an all around horrible experience with RECO. They send different guys on location every other day, so you have to spend half a day walking them through everything and bringing them up to speed all the while they are billing you for this and you are losing your time. Then they double bill, don't complete the work, don't clean up after themselves (spools of wire and trash left under our building), etc. I am a firm believer in bringing issues to people attention so they can fix it. I even contacted the owner. Martin came by and saw that many items weren't completed and then he disappeared. After 6 months of back and forth and no work on their part, I hired an other electrician. He fixed and completed their shooty work. Of course RECO is still trying to bill for work not completed nor done correctly. Just outrageous. I would never recommend using these guys.

Martin and his team were fantastic. They arrived early, completed the job on-time, and were just generally pleasant people to be around. They installed a car charger, exterior lights, and exterior outlets on a 1929 house -- and everything looks really good. Would recommend them without hesitation.

Martin is a delight to work with, very knowledgable, has great solutions to challenging situations. He is budget conscientious and provides reasonable options. I'm looking forward to our service appointment for the discovery of what our old fuse box is actually doing. We have a small amount of knob and tube that remains from a previous electrician, along with an improperly installed tankless water heater that needs a dedicated circuit. Martin pointed out that it also needs bonding and grounding which the Company that installed it failed to do. Martin shares his experience and knowledge and helped me with other decisions regarding the attic and crawl space. His recommendations are logical and reasonable, budget minded, but still achieving my goals. I'm very grateful for Roberts Electric Co and feel confident and that my home safety is in good hands. I have spoken with several electricians and not one communicates with this level of consideration and thoughtfulness.

Martin is working for another company but still accepts jobs. I had an installation of new hallway lights than needed to be done. Old fixtures and plates were no longer working and I had no illumination in the hallway since May. It was not high priority since it's been light outside, but heading into winter I really needed to find the time to get this done. I called Martin and told him about the job. He quoted me $175 for the installation of both the hall lights barring any unforeseen electrical issues. I had had the house re-wired when we moved in 6 years ago, but with all the bulbs popping it was a possibility. I ordered the lights I had been looking at and inspected them upon arrival. Then I texted Martin they were in. After a few texts he got back to me with an opening the next morning. He arrived promptly and within 1.5 hours I had new hall lights which work and look great. Martin was wonderful cleaning up all the plaster debris and general mess that comes with installations. The total bill was less then the quote.
Great job and I will be keeping him contact information for any further jobs. Thank you Martin
