Shea Electric

Kevin appears to be a good hearted man but he is totally unreliable; doesn't return calls or texts although he always has an excuse. He came to look over the job needed but when he finally showed up to do the work, he didn't have the parts needed and things he said he could do, he couldn't. We got about half the job done. When I requested a detailed receipt he stated his receipt book was at the office and he would email it to. I have requested a receipt several times since then (it's been about 3 weeks now) and nothing. This is not good business and I do not recommend him whatsoever.

Kevin Shea promised on two different occasions that he would show up and bid on my job - both times I was left sitting at home instead of being at work, with Shea not answering his phone or bothering to call and cancel with me.

He just requested to add me as a LinkedIn contact, and it reminded me how infuriating this experience was.

This guy has no respect for your time.

Have been extremely impressed by Shea Electric since my first experience approximately four years ago when his crew installed an elaborate ceiling light fixture. Most recently, Kevin mounted a large flat screen TV over a fireplace and did a fabulous job! We are planning further electrical work in the near future.

I highly recommend Shea Electric for small and large jobs.

Kevin is the most responsive electrician that I have come across in San Diego!! He actually answers the phone when you call (which is rare amongst electricians!), and is very prompt in setting up scheduling! When you have electrical needs, you usually want them handled fairly promptly! Kevin is prompt, polite, and knowledgeable! I would not hesitate to hire him!

Called Shea. A VERY valuable customer of mine needed an electrician. Shea said he would call him. Never did! My customer called me 72 hours later. And said because of the lack of communication, he had to call around for a electrician...

Not good.

If you are pressed for time and demand integrity shop elsewhere.

I purchased two hours worth of electric services from Kevin/ Shea Electric through Living Social. They came out and performed ONE hour of work. Now after several calls and emails, I can't get him to come back for the second hour. NEVER pay for any service in advance through Shea. You will simply spin your wheels in frustration. I'll be filing a dispute with my credit card company.

Concur with Scott E. and Shannon M.'s reviews...


We ordered a Bosch dual Microwave/Oven combo and asked Kevin for an estimate via his website, he then called me and then texted me his contact information. Sent the product information to the e-mail address provided and some general information about the project. During the phone call he said he'd schedule an appointment for an estimate...HE NEVER GOT BACK TO ME. We instead hired a guy out of Lake Elsinore to do the job, he put one hole in my ceiling to route wiring through my entire, home, top notch work.
Ray from A. Rayman Electric is the guy!!! Highly recommended.

Ray is busy doing solar installs so figured we'd give Mr. Shea one more try...

Contacted Mr. Shea again for two estimates, he was ""johnny on the spot"" calling me and keeping me updated on the appointment time. Upon arrival he told me how difficult it would be to install pendant lights in the kitchen even though the joists run parallel to where the wiring would be and the soffit above the new dimmer was hollow. If that is difficult for a licensed electrician I'm wondering if anything is easy for them. After the appointment he walked the job and shook my hand, looked me in the eye, and said he would have an estimate to me that night.
Come mid-afternoon the next day, still no estimate. Rather than call him and interrupt a possible electrical install I texted and asked if he wanted the job or should I find someone else? ( meaning he didn't send me an estimate like he told me he would. Therefore, we figured he didn't want the job). After him calling me ""dude"" and telling me how hard he worked yesterday and he'd have the estimate to me this weekend I informed him we would find another electrician that ""is true to his word."" An apology would be what a potential customer would expect.
We don't mind work and/or estimates being late, what we detest is someone whom doesn't let you know when they can't deliver what they said.

Seems over his head with the business aspect of contracting and unable to manage his time. With that being said, we recommend not giving him your time because he'll waste it.

I read the reviews, all I can say is, think, people! Kevin's a GREAT Electrician. I've gone through 4 licensed Electricians for house projects over the years and Kevin Shea is THE BEST. Wish I found him years ago. And, his prices are reasonable. Get a grip, people, he's a small Business, he HAS to juggle his schedule to survive. What are important are the quality of his work and the prices he charges. It's not reasonable to expect something for nothing, Kevin Shea is very, very good & his prices are great, period.

Professional, clean, efficient. I've had Kevin and his team do work on my place on 2 occasions and have been very happy with their work. 2 TV's mounted, attic fan switch install, chandelier, outlets for a wine fridge. these guys are great.

Both Kevin and Eric have been out to do work for us. Both guys are professional and pleasant, very knowledgeable. I make it a point to have basic supplies - switches, fixtures for example, already bought to try to save time.
They were able to complete the 2 different jobs needed, no problems. Would definitely call Shea Electric for any future electrical needs, they know what they are doing.
