work for a large property management company and was assigned to upgrade the electrical systems in several of our older buildings with outdated Zinsco panels. After talking with a few different contractors, we went with Hillside - and I'm really glad we did. Carlos invited me to visit a couple of their ongoing projects, and was immediately impressed. They handled everything from permits and engineering to coordinating with the city, and made the process super easy for us. So far, they've completed two of our buildings, and we'll definitely be using them again. Great communication, always on time, and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend Hillside - these guys really know their stuff

My husband and I just moved into our new house thanks to the Hillside team, we are very happy. We hired then to rewire or 1920s house, as we started the project we found out that they do more than electrical we didn't have to deal with any other contractor, they did it all. We got 2 new bathrooms, a new kitchen updated the electrical and plumbing, all headache free. Gary is the owner and he has been awesome, he did not let us worry about the construction process.

Gary and Hillside Expert Electrical were referred to me by a friend who also owns several apartment buildings. They had used Hillside for a complete remodel and electrical upgrade and highly recommended them. I'm so glad I got connected with Gary and his team-I quickly realized their full potential. Hillside upgraded our Pushmatic electrical panels and meters, rewired all of the vacant units, and set up a plan to rewire additional units as they become available. On top of that, they're handling all of the patchwork, paint, plumbing, cabinetry-the whole thing-and at very reasonable prices. Thank you, Gary and team, for all the help.

Angie Gutierrez

I manage multiple apartment buildings from the 60s and 70s, many with old and unsafe Zinsco, Pushmatic, or Federal Pacific panels. When our insurance company sent us a cancellation notice, I was extremely stressed about the safety issues and the risk of losing coverage. Hiring Hillside Expert Electrical was the best decision I could have made. Carlos and Gary guided me every step of the way, handling all the planning, engineering, and panel replacements. They made a very overwhelming situation feel manageable. Now we are all set. I can't tell you how relieved I am. I highly recommend them to any property owner facing the same challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Hillside recommend a full rewire in every case?

Not always: a partial rewire may suffice when some wiring is safe and usable; a safe electrical system may only need grounding.

How does Hillside coordinate commercial electrical projects?

For commercial projects, Hillside works with partners from design engineering through the final installation inspection.
