The Verdict
Electricraft is a solid choice if you need an electrician who won't ghost you after the install. We found 29 reviews praising their follow-up support, with only one complaint—technicians return calls, show up on time, and stick around to fix problems other contractors left behind. One homeowner had a bathroom outlet go dead after a remodel; Brandon arrived at 8:02 for an 8:00 appointment, diagnosed wiring errors from the previous electrician in under an hour, then added two more outlets while he was there. The company installs solar alongside standard electrical work, and reviewers note they custom-fit systems instead of pushing cookie-cutter packages. We did spot four reviews about surprise charges or sloppy work—one job ballooned from the original estimate to double the price mid-project, and another left oil stains on a driveway. If you're comparing bids and Electricraft comes in higher, ask for a detailed breakdown before they start. But if you want a crew that knows how to untangle 1960s relay switches and won't bill you for five hours on a two-hour pendant-light job, they're worth the call.
If you need an electrician who answers the phone and shows up when promised, Electricraft delivers. Just lock in a firm price upfront—a few customers got hit with mid-job cost surprises that doubled their bills.
3 Stories That Stood Out
Chuck D. has turned to Electricraft for several projects over the years — from installing an EV charger to troubleshooting a stubborn circuit — and he keeps coming back because they actually solve problems. When a single receptacle in his recently remodeled master bathroom went dead while the others worked fine, Brandon rang the doorbell at 8:02 for an 8:00 appointment and immediately set to work. He listened to what had already been tried, ran his own tests, and tracked down the cause and fix in about an hour: simple mistakes left by the remodel electrician (not Electricraft) that could have become a bigger hazard. After the bathroom was sorted, Brandon quickly extended a garage circuit to add an outside outlet for Christmas lights for Momma and a fresh outlet for a new garage-door opener. Throughout, Electricraft’s office answered promptly (Bev handled scheduling) and the field crews stayed professional and courteous. For Chuck, when workmanship can mean preventing a fire, he now funnels all electrical work to Electricraft and asks for Brandon — he values the punctual troubleshooting and the specific fixes that actually stick.
Jim H. moved into a new home and wanted solar again after a positive experience with a national installer on his previous house. He contacted three companies for bids and found the large firms offering cookie‑cutter layouts and higher prices. Jeff Rudd from Electricraft—a local who had even worked for one of those bigger outfits—took the time to custom‑fit the system to their specifications and returned a quote that was substantially lower than the nationals. Jeff, Carlos and the crew then installed the array quickly and courteously, crawling through one of the hottest days in the attic, and the house was off the grid very soon after. Nearly two years on, he still finds the panels’ performance reliable and appreciates that local, tailored approach that saved money without sacrificing quality.
Nancy Ford-Retchless hired the company to do electrical work related to a solar installation at her tenant’s place. Partway through the job they demanded an extra $5,200—an amount equal to their original estimate—saying they needed that much more to finish. She refused and brought in the tenant’s licensed electrician, who finished the remaining work for a little over $1,500. The contrast between the company’s sudden $5,200 request and the $1,500 electrician bill left her very unhappy; she walked away convinced the crew was "ripping people off." The price gap and the unexpected demand for thousands more is what stuck with her.

George D. hired Electricraft for several residential projects and discovered they treated each job with consistent care and professional responsibility. He appreciated that someone was always in the office to take calls, which kept communication simple and reliable throughout each installation. Prices stayed fair across the projects, so he ended up with thorough work and straightforward billing. What stuck with him most was the steady availability of a real person on the line — it made ongoing coordination much easier.
Jon owns a rental in SLO and discovered a tenant had blown a breaker that wouldn’t reset. After an electrician he’d booked didn’t show up, he called Electricraft and they squeezed him in the same day. Nate arrived on time, diagnosed and corrected the problem in about an hour, and ended up saving him money. What stuck with him was the prompt, professional response—a punctual tech who fixed the issue quickly—so he’s made Electricraft his go-to for future work.
