Roemke Electric

Peggy C.

After a house remodel twelve years ago my pool light never had worked again. I had been given various bids of up to $2700 to fix the problem. I called Roemke Electric and Shane was at the house in 15 minutes. He happily hummed a tune while crawling under the house through all the spider webs. Mark arrived an hour later and their teamwork was very impressive. They had found the problem, and installed an inside light switch within 2 hours at a very reasonable rate. I highly recommend them.

Called Roemke Electric when we lost power to a number of outlets in our kitchen. I spoke with Mark who made sure to get enough information from me regarding our breaker box, etc so that he wouldn't have to return to the shop mid-visit, thus saving me both time and money. He showed up bright and early the next day and managed to fix the wiring issue that was causing us trouble in under 20 minutes - was immensely polite and explained what was wrong/how he was fixing it the whole time! And the end cost was definitely reasonable.

Excellent work, very knowledgable! Would strongly recommend them to anyone needing electrical help.

Mark (the owner) and Shane came out to my house to install some new outlets and a new circuit. They were very nice, and did the job quickly and professionally.

Here's the best part though: I got several quotes from other local electricians before going with Roemke. Mark did the work for (no kidding) less than *half* the cost of the other guys. One quote came in at around $350. Roemke did the work for $167. I'm not sure how that's even possible, but I'm not complaining.

I certainly know who I'll be calling for all my electrical needs.

I called Roemke when I lost power in some outlets. I had called another electrician in town the previous day, and he never returned my call. So I went to Yelp to get some help. Mark takes his own calls, and when I phoned he was finishing up another job and said he'd come over after that. Wow. He diagnosed the problem and fixed it very quickly. It was a GFI conflict set off by a space heater. He even went thru the tangle of wires on my dusty entertainment center to get everything working again. Mark obviously loves his work, and that is the best recommendation I can give. He also has reasonable rates.

We needed to have a ceiling fan installed in the living room and a ceiling liht installed in our new baby room. So we checked out YELP and Craigslist and found Roemke. I called and spoke directly to Mark who was easy to talk to and gave me an accurate quote. Scheduled to have them come out that week. Shane and Grant showed up not only on time but a few minutes early. They crawled up into our attic and ran all the wires. They were able to complete all the work in a timely manner with no problems. They even used a heavy duty support bar for the fan. It's been a few weeks and everything works great. I was really impressed by their honesty. We are planning on updating some additional lighting in the near future and will certainly give, Mark and his crew (Shane and Grant) a call.

Called Roemke Electric based on all his good reviews on here. I was not disappointed!

Because we have a very high power bill at my house, we wanted someone to come and figure out what was going on. I called and he scheduled for that friday, which was not only the following day, but a holiday! I was happily surprised he was willing to work that day.

Mark was on time, friendly, and quick. He knew all the electric breaker boxes by name and model and knew the reliability histories of the different brands (a fun/useful thing to know about!). He deemed our boxes in good repair, but he found a couple things that were on that shouldn't be, and that was why we called him!

He also gave great information. Explained candidates for replacement to show the greatest power drop, and told us where and how to get them.

Definitely recommended, great service.

Just had a major failure in our incoming electrical panel last Thursday night that required immediate repair (due to corrosion for 30 years of use) before we could use any major appliance. We had an initial electrician agree to come the next morning by 9am. Well he was a no show, so we searched the Yelp listed electricians.

We got an immediate reply from Mark at Romeke and an initial estimate for the box replacement right over the phone. He arrived within a half hour to assess the situation and confirmed his quote. Four hour later his team had the job done and we were up watching a 3D movie to celebrate that night.

Thank you Mark and team!

P.S. they are very nice to communicate with and happy to explain any details.

We lost power in several of our outlets this week, and so I came to Yelp to research local electricians. Roemke Electric sounded very good and when I called they quickly set up an appointment that was convenient for me.

The owner, Mark, arrived a few minutes early (wow, what a surprise in Santa Cruz!) and turned out to be an excellent troubleshooter. He discovered that there were two GFIs conflicting with each other.

Since he resolved this issue so quickly, I mentioned another area where three outlets hadn't been operable for some time. (Awhile back a different electrician had been unsuccessful in resolving the issue.) We didn't really use those particular outlets.. but were concerned that there may be a safety hazard. Well, to make a long story short, Mark resolved that issue... and then repaired an outdoor outlet, too!

Mark was punctual, professional, very knowledgeable, and willingly explained things to me in terms I could understand... definitely a real find in this area! And the work didn't cost me nearly as much as I had thought it would. :)

Thank you, fellow Yelpers, for leading me to someone who has pride in his work and provides excellent service.

I had the pleasure of using Roemke to come and check a faulty wiring system in my home. I had read their reviews on Yelp and decided to use them. They were GREAT. They came in and found the problem in a short amount of time. It was evident they were not trying to rip me off or spend a lot of time doing something that didn't take that long. I felt very good about their service and would use ONLY them in the future. They are honest and prices are very fair. A +++ !!

I hired Roemke Electric to rewire my entire house in Santa Cruz, They came highly recommended by a friend of a friend. They where fantastic! They had great suggestions I would not have thought of. They did it on time and on budget, now that is rare these days. When you meet Mark the owner you will see what I mean. I am having them change my pool house and granny quarters over to solar. So I highly recommend them. Thanks again Mark and crew for all your great work. My wife is like a mood lighting freak now.
