I had an absolutely perfect experience with KJ Electric! The guys could not be more friendly, professional, and efficient! They hung a chandelier that was really difficult in a stairway, and I was amazed by their grace and charm throughout. Thank you! I have also used them for a very complex outdoor lighting project, and it was absolutely perfect.

The whole KJ Electric Co. team were great to work with. I am a “mom&pop” apartment house rental property owner that had a tight deadline imposed by my new insurance carrier to get some ‘upgrades to code’ work done. From the initial mtg for a quote, to getting the work scheduled & then completed everyone on the team were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, etc. The electrician & elec tech asst would even clean up as they went thru the proscess. They brainstormed & found creative ways to run electrical wires/grounding in this Apt House built in 1910, while all being up to current electrical code in city of San Antonio. I will be telling friends & associates to hire the KJ Electrical Co. team! 10/10 Svc & experience
