Boyes Electric Inc.

Boyes Electric has been diligently working on replacing the knob and tube wiring for the past 2 weeks in our Victorian home, and they have about 2 more weeks to go. They've brought 3 sub panels inside in our 3 units, added a bunch of new outlets, switches, and overhead lights, along with new circuits for dish washers and garbage disposals. Our place is getting a huge electrical upgrade, and Boyes is doing a great job! We met with probably 6 different electrical contractors and settled on Boyes after much due diligence, and we have been very happy with that decision. Their team came in every day, worked diligently, and thoroughly cleaned up after themselves every day. Quotes were comprehensive, well laid out, and easy to understand how they priced things. They send appointment reminders before each visit every day letting you know when will arrive. Very impressed with their work, prompt communication and responses to my questions, and how they planned the project. And their prices are competitive to boot. I would recommend Boyes to anyone in the Oakland / Berkeley area who has a similar job or any electrical work they are looking to undertake. Thank you!

Diana & Diego are very professional, communicative and helpful! I spoke to Diana to set up the appointment and Diego, the electrician came out the next day to replace a hardwired CO/smoke detector and look at a couple light fixtures (about 18 ft high up) that ended up needing the light bulbs replaced. Diego went to Home Depot the day before to pick up light bulbs that matched the ones needed. He is very knowledgable, courteous and friendly! Will definitely be reaching out again when needed! Thank you!

Boyes provided a seamless experience. Had them install an outlet inside my traditional wood fireplace box in order to install an electrical fireplace insert. They were responsive, professional, polite and timely. Passed City inspection as well. One of the most professionally managed processes I've experienced with a contractor in quite a long time - from quote, to scheduling, to showing up when promised, to permit arrangements, to billing.

I’ve known Borin, the owner of Boyes Electric, for many years, and he’s always been professional, reliable, and great to work with. He’s handled residential electrical work for me in the past, and everything was done correctly, safely, and at a fair price. He takes pride in the quality of his work and communicates clearly from start to finish. And as his insurance guy, I can personally confirm he keeps everything properly insured so you know he runs a responsible, trustworthy operation. If you’re looking for a solid residential electrician who knows his trade and delivers quality work, I highly recommend Boyes Electric!
