Anthony Lewis reviews

The Verdict
Anthony Lewis runs a tight ship for electrical upgrades and whole-home remodels, with crews who show up daily and finish on schedule. We found 34 reviews praising their workmanship, including one homeowner whose 1950s electrical service was upgraded to a modern 400-amp setup with dual mains for a house and ADU, all coordinated seamlessly with a solar installer. Another detailed a full down-to-studs remodel completed without cost overruns, where the team worked nearly every day and fixed minor issues afterward without hesitation. The most distinctive pattern we noticed: their project manager Vicki keeps clients looped in on delays (permit backlogs, utility slowdowns) and adjusts work schedules around inspection windows so crews aren't sitting idle. One reviewer watched their living room sheer wall demo wrap up in 2.5 weeks instead of the estimated 4 because inspections were pre-scheduled. The one negative review involves an abandoned EV charger quote after the client spent hours compiling requirements, though we found 19 other charger installations praised for smooth permitting and HOA coordination.
If you want a general contractor who'll mobilize crews immediately and keep you updated through every permit hiccup, Anthony Lewis delivers reliable timelines and no surprise invoices. Just confirm upfront they have bandwidth for your project.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Amol B. hired Vicki and Anthony to demo a shear wall in his living room. He expected a three-to-four week timeline, but they pre-scheduled inspections and arranged the workday around them so crews could keep moving from morning into evening without the usual stops. Because of that coordination, the team finished in about 2.5 weeks even with some uncontrollable permit delays from the city of SJ. He found them professional, fast, and easy to work with, and ended up awarding five stars — the standout detail being their inspection-first scheduling that kept the project continuous instead of stalled.
George W. hired Anthony Lewis twice for separate projects on his home and found both jobs ran smoothly from start to finish. He appreciated receiving detailed, up-front cost breakdowns and that any departure from the original quote was discussed and approved in advance, which kept the budget clear. Projects occasionally encountered the usual delays, but Vicki, the project manager, kept him informed about current status and timelines throughout. When problems popped up she responded fast, with many issues resolved in hours or even minutes, and she handled permit complications with local authorities so nothing fell through the cracks. What stuck with him most was Vicki’s responsiveness and ability to cut through red tape—small hiccups were rarely a real headache—and he plans to hire them again.
Viktoriya called Anthony after a strange water smell led to the discovery that her mother’s bedroom had suffered serious water and mold damage. A skilled plumber on Anthony’s team traced the problem to a second-floor bathroom that hadn’t been properly connected, which had been leaking into the closet below. Anthony’s crew moved quickly: they repaired the plumbing, removed the affected drywall so a remediation company could tackle the mold, and made the project a priority once the room became uncomfortable to use. After remediation finished, the team rebuilt the space — installing new drywall, matching the texture, and repainting — and crafted custom closet shelving to the family’s specifications. Plumbers, electricians, carpenters, painters and others worked together, communicating honestly and delivering careful workmanship throughout. The result: the room restored to its original beauty, with a walk-in closet that now has even better-looking, custom shelves — the detail that Viktoriya says made the whole effort feel complete.

What You Can Expect
Shilin began working with Anthony ten years ago during an office remodel, and that first job turned into a long-running relationship built around practical upgrades. He replaced the building’s 1950s electrical service with a modern 400-amp system, and when they later moved Anthony again overhauled the service—installing two separate mains, one for the house and one for the ADU—and coordinated with the solar installer so the panels and batteries integrated correctly. He also poured the concrete apron behind the garage and handled that cleanly. What stood out for them was his can-do attitude and the knowledgeable, practical suggestions he offered, which is why they keep turning to him for work.
Katie B. hired Anthony Lewis to overhaul a 1957 house in Los Altos, CA and walked away with a completely transformed home. He assembled architects and high-quality tradespeople, convinced her the plan could be done within the budget they set, and priced the project realistically from the first meeting. Over roughly a year he managed a full-scale renovation and addition — new foundation work, interior and exterior rebuilds, plumbing and electrical, relocation of load-bearing walls, new exterior walls and windows, aesthetic finishes, plus 500 square feet of added living space and an 800-foot covered patio. She found his communication and availability steady before, during, and after construction; the crews stayed clean and efficient on site, and the workmanship read as very high quality. The standout detail: he turned a tear-down 1957 house into Katie’s dream home on the timeline and budget promised, and the finished property keeps drawing compliments for its beauty, style, and craftsmanship.
More than a year ago a surge on the utility line from the pole destroyed the electrical panel at this homeowner’s house. They brought Anthony Lewis, Inc. in to handle the repair and discovered a team that combined skilled electrical work with unusually consistent courtesy—everyone who came on-site or answered the phone stayed helpful and respectful. The job stretched out because PG&E was backlogged after last year’s heavy rains and other problems, but Anthony Lewis kept them in the loop, pushed back against PG&E’s long lead times, and coordinated so the home kept power for the entire period. The detail that stuck with them was how the company managed the paperwork and utility delays while keeping the lights on, turning a frustrating wait into something much more bearable.
