David has done electrical work for us many times in Alameda. He responds quickly when we contact him and gives us advice on what materials (canned lights, etc.) we will need. He will buy them & bring them with him or let us buy them on our own & have them ready. He is always courteous and professional. David does great electrical work and advises us on the different options we have available. He prices are reasonable & he always explains what he is charging us for. I can't say enough good things about him, but perhaps the thing I love the most is he cleans up any mess that is created from drilling, etc. and is very respectful to not scratch floors, etc. Highly recommended.

David is fantastic! He recently rewired our entire 1908 house, which still had the knob and tube wiring. He's incredibly detailed and thorough, and made sure to let us know if he had any concerns or if something we asked for might not be up to code (we passed with flying colors). He was also very patient with answering all of my questions, and scheduling his work around some other work we were doing at the house. I would definitely look to David if we have more electrical work come up.

David was very responsive via text message during initial contact with him. However, in one of his text messages he mentioned he doesn't have a business license to work in Oakland. He is only licensed to do business in Alameda.

I am visiting my family in Alameda and helping to get some work done around the house. David and his helper, Kasey, did an excellent job for us. They removed our old ceiling fan, assembled the new one and relocated the electrical service box. David made sure the new fan was balanced and stable even at its highest speed and that the light worked from both the switch and the pull chain. All for a very good price and without a speck of sheet-rock left behind! David came when he said he would, did a great job and was remarkable responsible about minimizing the mess. We will call him first for anything electrical in the future!

I just called on David to do an indoor and outdoor job for me and his work is excellent, professional and prices are amazing! I really appreciate him telling me everything i need to know up front before he starts anything. This is the 2nd time I have used him and I will continue to use his services when ever the need comes up. I have also let me friends and family know how great he is and they will be calling him very soon!
I have a craftsman home that is over 100 years old and any issues that have come up David can resolve in no time. If you have an older home like I do, please call on him, you won't be sorry!!
thank you for all your hard work!

We had an unexpected electrical issue come up in our 1923 home. I called Tinpa Electrical and they helped me right away! He was very professional, kind, and quick! He knew what he was doing, and we felt we were in very good hands. He was even sweet with our daughter and cats! What we were expecting to be a huge bill ended up being super cost effective, and the problem is 100% solved. We will absolutely call Tinpa if we ever need electrical help again!

Weiguo (David) and KC are two of the finest workmen I've met and I spent over 30 years in the Navy, so I know good, hard work and talent when I see it. We had our 1916 Craftsman rewired. Their work is flawless. Their pricing is fair. They pay attention to detail. They are patient. They strove mightily to meet the schedule, and they did. You may have to wait a bit to get on their calendar, but the wait will be worth it. If you want top-notch talent and workmanship, hire Weiguo and KC.

I haven't logged into yelp in a long time, but after the awesome service that David and his wife provided I wanted to make sure that they got the props they deserve! Had them come out on a few occasions and they've always been prompt, figured out the issue quickly and had very reasonable rates.

Highly recommend the service!

I had a few electrical problems around the house and finally decided to call an electrician. Looked on Yelp and decided to use Tinpa Electrical based on the reviews. Wow, I was so impressed. I called early Saturday morning and David was able to work me in that afternoon. David and Casey (David's intern) arrived at the house were friendly, listened to the issues and fixed the items promptly. I trust them. I also appreciate a company owner that will take time to train others. I watched how David let Casey do the work and guided him through the areas where Casey had questions. That is a good teacher. The prices were very reasonable. Thanks David and Casey - really nice job.
