Communicating with Max Electric was swift and smooth. Initial intake questions were helpful and clarifying. I was given a good sense of what information they needed and that helped me know what they would be able to do for me. Jorge was very friendly and professional and super helpful. He was meticulously…
Luca came and fixed an electrical problem. He was helpful, efficient and effective.
So delighted to have found the team at Max Electric! Alas, I had planned to do this identical work with another contractor who totally failed to deliver, but from first meeting, everyone at Max's was prompt, professional and delivered expertise on all levels. I was adding a smart subpanel and a new EcoFlow…
Fantastic people to work with all around! They understood the job, very very communicative, on time, friendly, and cleaned up any debris after. Highly recommend them
Highly recommend!!! Our experience with Max Electric was great! They navigated and carried us through a complex rewiring of our building (knob & tube) where we had to move out for 6 weeks. They managed the project between each of the units and their owners (us being one), and with the City. Their pricing was very…
Hanzel did a great job. On time. Very professional. Very happy with their work.
Timely and friendly service, electrician was knowledgeable and efficient.
Lucas did a great job. He fixed everything and was very clear about telling what was wrong and advising us about overloading byh using multiple appliance on the same circuit. He worked fast and was very friendly and courteous
They were very communicative and responsive. The electrician showed up on time and finished the job in a quick and professional way.
Hanzel from Max Electric was great. He arrived on time and installed the light fixture quickly. He explained everything and answered all of my questions. He asked me about the different settings for the fixture so he could set them the way I wanted.
TLDR: Electrician Pedro blew out a fuse box while installing a light fixture. This caused the electricity in a closet, tv room and bedroom to go out. Instead of accepting responsibility and repairing the fuse box, Pedro and a manager both lied and said that the power was already not working in the 3 rooms before the…
About $325 per light fixture to install. They did a great job.
Max Electric was overall great to work with. Quick response to my job request to replace and overhead light over Yelp. They showed up on time, and Hanzel was very professional, conscientious, helpful, and got the job done efficiently. I recommend wholeheartedly and will use them again!
Lucas did a great job. He installed 2 light fixtures, 3 bathroom fans, and fixed a broken floodlight. He was friendly and explained everything. Scheduling was quick and easy as well.
Lucas Polanco is the man!!!! Couldn’t be happier with the prompt customer service provided by the team at Max Electric! From my initial Yelp inquiry, to Lucas arriving, the entire process was easy and efficient. Lucas did a great job installing a motion sensor light, and the customer service team at Max Electric…
quick friendly good work
Max Electric did an amazing job on our home! We needed knob and tube rewiring, permitting (we are in Alameda, CA), and several light installations done on a tight timeline. They stuck to our aggressive schedule without sacrificing quality and were incredibly communicative the whole way through. A huge shoutout to…
The max team did some exterior rewiring in our 1920s condo building. They were incredibly professional, efficient and commanded a depth of expertise in their craft. While they weren’t the most cost effective compared with other reputable electricians, I’d work with them again.
Lukas was very efficient and was able to effectively troubleshoot some faulty lights I had. Great service.
Max Electric did an excellent job on a major residential project for us. This involved replacing knob and tube wiring, relocating switches and outlets, adding new outlets and remote switches, adding motion detector switches and fixtures, adding new indoor and outdoor light fixtures, adding more circuits and a new…
