What People Say
Calvin H. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Davis Homeowner
‘Scott is an exceptionally friendly, polite, and punctual electrical contractor who describes in detail what he is going to do, involves the customer throughout, and takes pains to do the extra things that demonstrate his professionalism and commitment to excellence -- for e.g., covering his work shoes with disposable booties so he won't track in dirt and meticulously cleaning up after himself. He only selects products that he believes will last and perform well, and guarantees his workmanship "for life." He works hard and efficiently, so the customer is getting great value for his time. His fees are competitive. He has a good sense of design and balance, recommending, for example, where can lights would look and function well in my cathedral-ceilinged living room. I will hire him for additional jobs at my home this summer. I recommend him highly.”
Lori R. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sacramento Homeowner
“Scott was fantastic. He was one of four contractors I got quotes from to upgrade my electric breaker panel. He came in with the second to smallest quote. It felt very fair. He was a great communicator, keeping me apprised of permitting and scheduling. He explained everything thoroughly and was super professional. When he left, my driveway was neater and tidier than when he arrived! I would definitely recommend Scott and intend to use him again for other needed projects”
Darlene G. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fair Oaks Homeowner
“There is a reason Scott receives such good reviews. He is professional, punctual, expeditious, meticulous, very patient and most importantly to me he seems to enjoy his work. He completed our install (almost 12 hours) smiling. He was a pleasure to work with for installing our new electrical panel. He took the time to listen to what it was I wanted and was not just in a rush to replace the old one. He answered all the questions I had, even during the install; this helped me feel very at ease. He also noticed some anomalies with our wiring system from back in the 70's and took time to investigate and fix one discrepancy in wire size/breaker capacity. Moral of the story is that Scott does the job "right," the way I’d do it if I had the time and knowledge. This is why he is a 5 star electrician and why he comes highly recommended from us!”
Bruce K. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Roseville Homeowner
“Scott is the ultimate professional, very well-schooled (Michigan State University), plus all the certification, etc., you'd want. Beyond that, he was easy to work with, fixed all, and my wife was overjoyed he cleaned up after himself, something some workers neglect. Go no further, he's the one, got it all”

FAQs
Do I really need a new breaker panel and wiring? They've lasted reliably this long!
Just like a car, your home’s electrical system has many parts that need regular maintenance and repair. When a vehicle is over 100k miles, there's a high probability of something going wrong. The same goes for your home’s electrical system. A safe and reliable electrical system is essential to many safety and convenience factors of our lives. It can be a matter of life and death. Electricity is a powerful natural element and poses serious risks such as electric shock, a house fire or even death if not respected and maintained on a regular basis. If your home has electrical equipment from before 1975, there’s a high possibility of something going wrong. The best option is to trade in the old electrical system for a new reliable one before potentially ending up with a major electrical problem
I’m selling my home soon. I don’t want to waste my money on electrical safety upgrades that won’t matter in the sale
In most cases, buyers have home inspections. Things like outdated wiring, Zinsco breaker panels and other genuine fire safety concerns end up as an inflated reduction in the asking price or a request for repairs before escrow can close. Waiting to find a contractor to do the work needed last minute can result in overcharged and unreliable services. What we suggest, that actually saves you time and money, is to complete the work at a fair price while you have time to make an informed decision, benefit from the safety upgrades for yourself in the meantime, and make the sale of your home a fast and easy process.
Is it worth it to pay more for quality? I can find it cheaper elsewhere
If you were to add up the amount of service calls, troubleshooting, and repairs over the years that come with a poor installation and cheap materials, the overall cost often turns out more expensive overall. Not to mention the stress involved when dealing with power issues and potential fire hazards. We want the people we help to have the best possible outcome. We install materials we believe in and provide quality installations that are built to last for many years without fail. It makes for a more cost effective solution and happier homeowner in the long run.
Replacing all the wiring in my home sounds very expensive. Is this going to cost me an arm and a leg?
Not when you look at the big picture. Replacing your home’s electrical system is a complex and work intensive process requiring a deep understanding and a high level of skill to accomplish. The work completed is a modern solution for the property that will provide utility and safety for your home and family for the next 100 years. When you replace the electrical system, you're not only getting a new system today, but every day, year after year, for the next 100 years.
I really need new electrical wiring, but I just don’t have it in my budget to rewire my house right now. What can we do?
In the case where there is outdated electrical wiring and an outdated main electrical panel, the home is at high risk for electrical fires. What we can do upfront, in one single day, while we’re working out access to the funds, is to start with an arc fault panel upgrade. This new modern technology of fire prevention will give you the level of safety you need in the mean time. Arc fault breakers will turn off the power wherever there is faulty old wiring presenting a fire hazard. This will keep your home and family safe while you take the time to create a financial plan for the implementation of new electrical wiring in your home.
