Wire Works Electrical Contractor

Joe B.

Had a partial power outage after a storm. Called PGE for there free inspection and they said not our problem. I called Wire Works and they said they knew what the problem was over the phone. They came by two hours later and fixed the problem in 15 minutes. Very friendly and a local to Pacifica for many years. I read all the reviews and came to the conclusion that they either get 1 star of 5 stars. After my experience I will have to give them 5 stars. There price was extremely fair compared to other quotes.

Horrible! He told us he would come on day 1 never showed up. Day 2 told us he would come in the morning, never showed up! 12PM comes around, said he was going to grab sandwich first after all the waiting we have done for 2 days. Be professional when you state when you are actually going to work on someone's electricity. You burned a lot of our time just waiting for you. Would never recommend you, enjoy your sandwich.

Dave came on the same day that I called to check out our fuse/breaker problem. But after reviewing, he advised a solution and didn't charge us for his time. He also left us his business card with license number. We will definitely call him again if and when we have some electrical work.

So surprised at the turn of events... After Dave did such a great job earlier this year, I called him back to change out some antiquated two-prong plugs to three-prong plugs. He quoted a great price ($25 each) for what would be less than ten minutes work for him. He came and flipped out the plugs as described, but I was the one left to clean up the mess he made on the floor. I guess since it WAS a rush job, he didn't have time to clean up after himself.

A week or so later, I realized that one of the plugs did not work at all so I phoned him to come and fix it. He at least answered the phone, but told me he was vacationing in Cabo and to call him a week or two later. So I did and had to call several times. He finally returned the call, asked again where I lived, and then hung up. Silly me, I took that to mean he was on his way over. Four hours later, I texted him and the following exchange occurred:

Me: Are you coming today?

Dave: Not tonight

Me: not pleased that you indicated when were on the phone at 1:00 that you were on your way over. I've been here all afternoon, waiting.

Dave: That's not true. I never said I was coming down that way. I was working in Daly City. This is the plug that's in the office we talked about but I did not say I was coming down today.

Me: Then when will you be able to come and fix your work?

Dave: Tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. Or, if you want, earlier. I drop my girlfriend off at the airport and am back in Pacifica at 4:30 a.m.

Me: Never mind. I'll find someone more responsible and reasonable to fix your work.

Dave: -Laughing/Crying Emoji- You can't get it for cheaper. I gave you a ridiculously low price and it wasn't costing anything for me to fix it but please do go play someone else.

Well, I would rather pay someone else than deal with such a passive-aggressive contractor. Lastly, for the record about others who cited Dave not having a license, I did take a look at the record and it seems he has been cited for operating without a license on September 16, 2016. He probably got his act in order to get the license renewed and then have Eileen M. provide a 4-star review to explain he does have a license. (His girlfriend? Interesting that she has written no other reviews for Yelp and that her review is dated November, 2017, after the review stating he had no license...)

Will not be doing business with him again.

Dave is reliable does good work. He is always available in a reasonable time frame. Could not ask for more!

I called Dave from Wire Works and I explained to him that I needed a very small job done. He came over and I was very impressed with his service. Here are the reasons:
1. He came by about an hour and a half after I made the call and completed the job. I told him it wasn't an emergency, but I sure appreciate the quick response. It is usually like pulling teeth to get someone come do some work here (any type of work)
2. His prices are VERY, VERY reasonable. I was expecting to pay about twice as much
3. He noticed that my front doorknob was loose and fixed that too (no charge!)
He seems to be a very nice guy. I am so glad I found him!

I was driving to work... and I honked my horn at this companies vehicle because he wasn't turning right and the light was green. The driver decided to tailgate me... once he was done with his road rage he turned right onto sneath lane and decided to make a gesture with his hand like a gun... he is lucky I didn't have my son in the car because I would be calling the cops!!! Was it really worth putting your life and other people's lives in danger because I honked my horn one time? I wouldn't want to give this company my business not a good look!!!

Dave saved the day!!! It's been very stormy with super high winds!! Woke up to a LIVE (hot) power line in my driveway and in the street, having snapped apart in the wind storm! My roof weatherhead (where power lines connect to the house) was bent and broken. Called PG&E. Fire department arrived first to secure the area from traffic and keep people safe from the live wire. PG&E removed the damaged power line but PG&E could not connect power back to damaged weatherhead and informed me that I needed an electrician. Never needed one before so didn't know who to call and started calling companies from the Pacifica phone book. Dave showed up within one hour of my panicked early rainy morning call. He repaired the weatherhead, patched the roof and worked with PG&E to get the city inspector out on a rush basis to approve the job so the power could be restored. I am a in-home care provider for a person with disabilities and Dave and PG&E (Lloyd, you ROCK!) prioritized this job so that my client did not have to spend the night with a respite provider! The repair cost more than I expected for this type of job but Dave assured me the price was lower than other electricians would charge! :-) I invited him to come back and bid on work needed inside the house. Recommend him highly. I'm so grateful to Dave, Lloyd from PG&E, other PG&E staff who reconnected the power and Mike, the city inspector from Pacifica for rushing this repair!

Dave is a nice guy and a good local Pacifica electrician (good with pets in the house). His scheduling was a little off at times, but he got the job done. My furnace went out and I called Dave. He helped me troubleshoot some simple stuff over the phone (breakers, etc.) before he came over to look at the furnace motor. Dave pulled the motor and came back the following day with a replacement motor. Now the furnace is working great. $350 was the cost to remove and replace the motor.

The service entrance wire holder came off my roof after last year's storm. I had Franmore Electric reattach it last year but it came apart after a matter of weeks. I've asked them to repair it, and they said they'd come by, but after over a year, nobody came, and the problem just got worse. My siding and roof were practically tearing off.

I called Wire Works and he gave me the best advice ever. He asked me to call PG&E and explained what had to happen. In a matter of hours, PG&E had reattached the wire holder to the mast, and the problem was solved.

I have just finished nailing my sidings back on and straightening out my roof. Neither of these repairs were necessary had Franmore Electric done this right the first time.

Even though Wire Works did not provide physical work, they did provide expert advice. If PG&E had not fixed the issue, I wouldn't hesitate to call Wire Works back to complete the job.
