Recommended Customer Reviews

This company is great! Jimmy and Tony were fantastic. I had so many electrical problems, some being totally unsafe. They were professional and hard working guys. Definitely would use them again.

Horrible communication. Horrible billing process. The admin staff does not know how to answer questions or listen to customers. Billing practices are horrible. Do not hire these guys for work in your home.

I can not say enough about the exceptional service I received from Schafer Electric. The electricians were excellent. The followed all safety protocols. Our problem was unique and took a while to solve. They knew the right people at P G & E to contact to correct the problem. A big shout out to Charlie, Tony, and Mr Schafer.

We have used Schafer Electric on occasions of both the installation and maintenance of heavy equipment at Duggan's Mission Chapel Funeral Home in Sonoma, CA. In particular, we have had the opportunity to meet and work with Charlie, an electrician with many years of experience. He did all of our wiring, and even made sure all lighting around our equipment was strategically placed. In an emergency situation a few weeks ago, I called and Charlie showed up quickly to remedy a problem we were having--after normal business hours no less, bending over backwards to help when clearly, we would not have been able to function as a mortuary without the specialized help he gave us. He also carries a pleasant disposition and ready to help with whatever you need. As a whole, we rely on Schafer Electric and they are our first choice to keep us operating as normal. Specifically, Charlie is our choice!

My tenant accidentally broke the electric power box completely off the side of the house he lives in, power gone, live/hot box... what should I do??? On the corner of the broken box was the sticker for Schafer Electric 707-545-3300, they installed the box +12 years ago for me. I called them up on a Saturday afternoon, left message that I needed some help immediately!!! Ben Schafer/owner called me back & remembered the job he did years ago & agreed to come out survey problem & fix it ASAP. He set up PGE to come out cut off the line, & completely replaced, the box by Tuesday & power restored Wed. PGE hooked it up again. Everything is back to normal thanks to Schafer Electric. Come to find out that during the last 12 years his business has taken off & now does work in Marin, Sonoma & Napa counties now! What a blessing having his business sticker on the corner of the box. My problem became his problem ~ I like that as a customer, having someone that knows his business in every way. I recommend calling him up for any electrical problem BIG or small, NEW or old...
Thanks ~ Schafer Electric 707-545-3300

Had an urgent need to install an outlet outside. Schafer sent Jimmy over within a couple of hours. Great guy. Great responsiveness. Great job. Tom M.

Showed up one half hour ahead of schedule and had the problem identified and fixed within an hour. Thanks Dennis

They are my go to!! I have worked with many electricians being in the property management business for almost 20 years.
I have used them over a half dozen times in Sonoma.The office answers the phone every time and they always are always able to schedule quickly. Their work is thorough, tidy and professional. Great follow up and all the staff are very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend.

I only wish I could leave half a star ( as this place isn't even worthy of one star!)
I called this company having seen one of their vans driving around. Called them to schedule a very simple electrical at my home in Santa Rosa, and yes it's roughly an hours distance from where they are located but still?! $600 and the guy was there under an hours time!
I call that a rip off! Do yourself ( and your check book) a favor and skip these people who overbill very simple projects. I call that a Con game! Guess next time I'll research future businesses on the internet ( like Yelp) before being taken again! Do your research fellow Yelpers.
