Doug S. says, "Omar @ OBE was everything I wanted & needed in an electrical contractor / hired worker. He responded to my call right away & came over the next day to see & bid the job. He did this by taking pictures of the where and what I wanted done. Later that evening he texted those pictures to me with estimates of what each piece of the project would cost. He bids by the individual jobs, not hourly, which was fine by me. After we authorized him to do the work he came and started 2 days later and pretty much finished the job within 2 half days, because I had previous appointments and had to leave the house. He installed some new indoor receptacles, outdoor waterproof receptacles, and ran a new separate line to furnish my work shed with power and installed a new breaker, so it didn’t continuously trip the circuit breaker it was sharing. He installed new energy saving outdoor lighting & ran a new line with receptacle for a wall in the house, so I could become less dependent on extension cords. I was impressed with how he accomplished this by running a new line through conduit outside where we wanted the receptacle inside. Even more importantly he didn’t damage the drywall and make a big mess, didn’t have to crawl underneath the house to run a new lengthy line, and I didn’t have to hire someone else to fix drywall! So he saved us some time and money and did everything up to code. We are so pleased, he did an outstanding job and we had him come back yesterday to install 2 ceiling fans. We highly recommend him. Thanks again.👍🏽"See more

Somnath P. says, "Eugene came right on time. I had several plumbing and electrical work to be done and he finished within expected time, and to my satisfaction. While fixing a faucet leak, he found a faucet part that got corroded and needed to be replaced and he volunteered to get it from Home Depot too. I would definitely get his help next time I need."See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Do electricians do free estimates?

Yes, they do. Whether you’re looking for new electrical work or wiring repair, the electrician should offer you a free estimate. 

Go online to find the best electricians near you. After researching and finding a few pros who seem qualified for your job, go ahead and request a quote to find out how much those electricians will charge you.

How do I hire an electrician?

Go online to find a list of the best electricians in your area. View each individual electrician’s profile and learn more about their services and expertise. Then, read reviews from satisfied customers as well as any issues they may have encountered. This will help you find one with the right experience to work safely in your home.

You should also spend some time researching what qualifications and credentials they have. You might find information about their license on their profile, or you might need to check your local and state government’s website to verify their license. 

Once you’ve done a bit of research, ask to receive free estimates from several electricians in your area. Ultimately, hire the most qualified electrician who can complete your project at a reasonable price.

Is it worth it to hire an electrician?

Yes, it's usually worth it to hire an electrician instead of doing the work yourself.

Electrical work can be very dangerous. The pros spend many years working and studying before they become licensed and certified. That knowledge and training can help them work safely and perform the job without harming themselves or your home. 

Even a small wiring repair job can be unsafe if not done correctly. Hiring someone that has specialized training on how to do each specific job is the safest choice.

It was a last-minute job and they were super helpful. They were very responsive to my questions and the electrician that did the work worked really hard and did a nice job. Pejnam was easy to communicate with and very helpful.

Sassoon was very helpful and efficient. He did everything we asked and then some; he solved problems we did not even know we had. Really a pleasure to meet; great to have him now in my catalogue of vendors - always great to know a super electrician. Look forward to working with Sassoon again.

Pejman was incredibly responsive and managed to come and do the repairs the same day that I contacted him. He arrived at the time he said he would and performed both repairs quickly and efficiently. He immediately identified the problem and was thorough with his work. It was a much better experience than I have had with previous electricians!

My experience with Michael was excellent start to finish - from the prompt, patient ( I had a ton of questions) response to the Covid-19 safety compliance during the appointment, and best of all - he was able to fix my treadmill that two electricians before him were not not able to do. Now I can run as fast as I'd like:) Thank you Michael!

Actually zero stars! This was a complete disaster and he is simply an unauthorized electrician ! I hired an ‘electrician’ through this platform who didn’t even turn to be one ! He flooded my garage in less than 2 minutes after arriving causing personal and collective damage as I live in a condo . Vitelli inadvertently set off the fire-suppression sprinklers in my garage, activating our Central Fire Alarm system, causing disruption, flooding & damage. The fire department ,Statcomm & the City of Palo were all alerted and arrived at our complex . Vitelli didn’t speak a word of English so it was impossible to communicate with him and he sent his boss later to talk to me . His boss admitted that Vitelli was not an electrician and that ‘they are learning ‘. When you recklessly send someone to other people’s homes ,lie about their credentials,cause personal and collective damage ,you should at least apologize and pay for damages . At first he seemed cooperative ,then when the first bill came and I reached out to him ,he denied he was the boss and said he will go through his boss and his insurance . I reached out to Thumbtack who said they are a ‘neutral ‘ platform and they hire ‘professionals ‘ so basically hire at your own risk leaving me no option but to go to court and file a complaint with the state .

Richard was great to work with. He showed up when he said he would and went to work right away. He was meticulous about his work and very safety conscious which is something we were looking for in an electrician. He explained the process well so I could understand what we were being charged for. We would definitely hire Richard again in the future.

Din and his work was impeccable at every step. He promptly replied, showed up at home to give quote, made it turn key - drew best value concept, ordered material and completed the project. All on time, without exceeding the initial quote and without causing any inconvenience to residents. The final product came out magnificent! House is ready with the best holiday lights on the block. It is also weather proof, controlled from phone app and is invisible during the daytime. Thank you Din. We will highly recommend HouseHero to anyone looking for a great handyman / electrician / contractor.
