Customers consistently mention punctual arrivals, organized planning, and clear communication from start to finish. Many reviews note tidy workmanship and minimal wall damage during complex rewires and renovations. Homeowners also appreciate that projects stay on schedule and that options are explained before work proceeds.

On time and on budget. CBS was our contractor for all things electrical for our full home renovation. We had to have them return at multiple stages of the renovation and each time they were extremely reliable, professional and quite pleasant to work with. They even stayed in contact with me to know when the next stage of work could be done (not something our other contractors did). Highly recommended!

We have worked with CBS in Victoria and I needed a complete re-wire in my 1939 house in Salmon Arm. David came from Nanaimo to do this and I was amazed at how he accomplished this with only a 3 minor holes on the main floor. I was expecting huge swaths of missing plaster and baseboards to repair! David is very well organized, considerate and knowledgable. I would highly recommend his services.

I will recommend friends and family to CBS Electrical Contractors from this point on! They were on time, professional, and polite. The job they did on my generator and electrical panel was completed and I couldn't be happier with the final result!
