Sanchez Electric reviews

The Verdict
Sanchez Electric has the hallmarks of a dependable contractor, just not a standout one. We found steady praise for their electricians showing up when they say they will, fixing problems right the first time, and charging less than competitors for the same scope. One homeowner hired them for a full house rewire after two other quotes came back sky-high, and the crew finished in a week without unnecessary wall cuts. Another called on a Saturday with no power and had someone onsite the same afternoon. The pattern we saw most often: fast response times paired with courteous technicians who clean up after themselves. Fifteen reviewers singled out their follow-up support, noting that when a circuit breaker tripped post-install or a new question came up weeks later, the team returned promptly and fixed it at no extra charge. The weak spot is consistency. Three reviews describe missed deadlines, radio silence after a quote was accepted, or mid-job demands for more money when the scope hadn't changed. One commercial client praised their attention to detail and budget discipline. One residential customer watched a tech drill into drywall without asking first. (We're not sure which scenario is more unsettling.)
If you value quick turnaround and fair pricing over rock-solid project management, Sanchez Electric will likely meet your needs. Just confirm timelines in writing and hold back final payment until the job is done.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Richard C. hired the company to redo the electrical and hide the wires in his garage, agreeing on a price and a one-day finish. The crew stretched the job to a day and a half and still left it incomplete; the electrician promised to return the next day but then insisted they’d already spent more time than expected and wouldn’t finish unless Richard paid extra. He had already paid before the job was completed and ended up with little leverage — a costly lesson to hold back final payment until the work is actually done.
After getting two outrageously high estimates for electrical work, Jeremy S. turned to a referral and brought Gilbert out to inspect the wiring and electrical box. Gilbert confirmed the full rewire Jeremy already suspected, and his crew was able to start later that week and finish within a week. They treated the house with care, doing everything they could to avoid cutting into walls even though some openings were unavoidable. When the dryer later tripped a circuit, the same team came out right away and fixed it with no fuss. He has had no electrical problems since and was very satisfied with the workmanship and the price — what stuck with him most was how little they tore up the house and how quickly they returned to make it right.
Voahangy R. was building a small commercial pie shop in San Jose when a contractor pointed her to Gilbert — and she discovered it was exactly the help she needed. She ended up with a carefully executed solar install: Gilbert and his crew handled the job with close attention to detail, stayed personally involved from start to finish, and kept communication friendly and professional throughout the process. What set the experience apart was how he treated the estimate as gospel — she never paid more than the original quote — and how the team repeatedly went the extra mile to keep her interests front and center. The pricing felt fair for a commercial install, the workmanship felt thorough, and she walked away impressed enough to wish she could give 20 stars. The clearest takeaway: a hands-on installer who honors his quote and sees a commercial project through from planning to finish.

What You Can Expect
Anonomous E. has leaned on Sanchez Electric for years, bringing them back for a variety of indoor and outdoor electrical projects around their home. They ended up treating Sanchez as the household's go-to electrical contact because crews were consistently kind, professional, and charged fair rates. When problems or delays occurred, someone from the company quickly called to explain the situation, which kept projects from stalling. What stood out most were Greg and Gilbert — they offered clear, practical suggestions rather than technical fluff, helping the homeowner make sensible decisions across multiple jobs.
Scott Mullin's company has relied on Sanchez since 2012, calling them in for everything from small jobs to major commercial upgrades. He found them consistently quick to respond, easy to work with, and capable of delivering top-quality results. Over the years no other contractor has matched Sanchez's combination of service, price, and workmanship, and he ended up convincing all the neighboring companies to hire them too — a clear sign that their approach wins repeat business and local referrals.
