He was able to fix the light and recommended not using a dimmer switch on a fan light which is what we had done ourselves. Now we just leave the dimmer switch on and regulate the control of the fan by the pull cord.
Description of Work: My fan light was not working properly. The fan would work but the light work at all.

I recently called on Raymond and his team again to install bathroom fans and run some electrical work. This is his second time providing services to our house. Raymond once again has left us very thankful we found him and his team. We had an unfortunate mishap with the work performed installiing the fans, Raymond offered to correct the issue, however due to timing we couldn't get his team back out here in time. We were in the middle of installing a new HVAC system and we needed to correct the issue right then in there, but he refunded the fan installation fee back to us. Raymond is a man of integrity and really shows pride in the work that he does. We will continue to work with Raymond and his crew as we move to other major projects in our home.

We had a little mix-up on the time, but as a result, Raymond did not charge me for the new outlet and cover. I think that's pretty nice. Manuel did a great job! I have hired Excellence Electric before, and they did another great job with a great price! I'm very pleased with their work, and they are very nice guys to work with. I definitely will hire them again! I highly recommend them! Susan L.

I live in an older mobile home, and I have a light in my bedroom that never really worked. It was always very dark in that corner. I decided on Excellence Electric, because they had a coupon and very good reviews. Raymond came over with Manuel and looked at the problem. Manuel suggested that I purchase an LED Light Fixture. I asked them to purchase it for me, because I wasn't sure what to get. Manuel came over the next day to install the new fixture. (They were always on time!) It took him about an hour. Wow! I can't believe how bright the light is! It is fantastic! I am so pleased with the work they did! They were professional, prompt, and gave me good advice on what fixture to purchase, and they were always upfront about the cost!! I will be calling them again for all of my electrical needs!

Our entire house electrical work went extremely well, Raymond and his team (Ray and Manuel) were very professional, punctual and well informed. They went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with their work. Most important was they showed up on time every single day and left after completing work for that day, did not waste time at all. all their work is very nicely done. We would highly recommend them for any electrical work and we will keep them as our family electrician.
Description of Work: We requested estimate for our electrical work in the house, Raymond was extremely professional and very adjusting since I kept rescheduling estimate appointment. We were given fair estimate for the work and also given options.

It went extremely well, Raymond, Ray and Manuel were very cooperative, nice and professional. They also guided us for what was best and safety issue in our house. They gave us fair quote and also provided options. We left home to them and they were very responsible and reliable. we now consider them as our family electrician. Will definitely call them in next time when we need any electrical work done.
Description of Work: Raymond and his team is the best electrician we have ever experienced. Raymond is extremely responsible and treats you as if it's his family. He was very punctual and patient with us since we kept rescheduling for estimate. we have had other electrician give us rude reply and attitude when we would request reschedule and also one of the "highly" reviewed electrician on Angie's list was very unprofessional with us when he showed up for estimate, anyways we were fortunate to find Raymond and his team.

Raymond of Excellence Electric had done extensive work for us before, so we contacted him immediately when we needed to replace a GFI outlet in our small greenhouse. Within an hour of our call he was at our house, and the work was completed within 30 minutes. As in the past, he was courteous, professional, and extremely pleasant to work with. We highly recommend Excellence Electric!

I can't say this enough but i never had a company that takes care of their customers the way Raymond does, We left the house and left them to do their work and when we were so impressed with the work, because also the other contractor told us that it would take three days to complete the job ,Excellence Electric was done in one day. Raymond even text me and ask me if i wanted him to take my dog out to use the restroom , I was really happy with their service.
Description of Work: I used Excellence electric before we just purchase a house for my parents and call them to do all the electrical work that was recommended by my inspection. The previous owner recommended his electrician and the quote was to high for us.

Realizing that the provider I previously hired to fix and replace my kitchen lights would not respond to my call, I sent a request for appointment with Excellence Electric. Raymond came on the same day and checked the lights and electrical connections. I told him my LED kitchen lights had been installed just a year ago but already showing signs of giving up (they flickered). I asked Raymond for an estimated cost to replace the electrical panel and the kitchen lights. There were other issues that came to light as Raymond and his crew started the job of upgrading the panel. Excellence Electric undertook the following work: - Raymond replaced the 2 kitchen lights free of labor charge. - His crew, Ray (his son) and Manuel installed the attic light and safety boxes to cover live wires ( I am grateful that Raymond pointed out the hazard). - Raymond personally explained in great detail, the steps involved in upgrading the electrical panel. such as the required SCE approval, city permit, and final city inspection post installation. He was on top of things and was constantly in touch with his crew and me during the entire project. - After the panel was installed and inspected, Ysmael worked on the stucco surrounding the panel. It is worth mentioning that the stucco was expertly done. It blended with the rest of the house. I want to thank Raymond and his crew for an excellent job. They were prompt, responsive, and they showed expertise.. They are true to their name, Excellence Electric. I will definitely use them in the future.

Had estimates with 3 providers and Raymond has the best rate and is honest with what is needed. From scheduling the job to finish, he is easy to reach, patient in explaining the process and is very flexible with our schedule. The job was completed as scheduled and was done cleanly. Inspector was also impressed. Will consider him again for future electrical work. Highly recommended!!!

I knew any electrical work at my house would be a big undertaking and require a big expense but the work was definitely overdue. I did my due diligence on Angie's List and found "Excellence Electric, Inc" and was impressed with their reviews to date. I had Raymond Lezama, Operations Manager for the company come over for the estimate. I was impressed with Raymond's knowledge and his frank and open style of communication. He carefully explained all the areas of work that would be done, the amount of time it would take, the possible problems that may arise and the amount of money it would cost. I know a little about electrical contracting and knew Raymond was telling me the truth and not adding anything unnecessary into the estimate and that I could trust and believe him. I set up the job to begin the next week. When work began, I was surprised (and happy) to again see Raymond at the job site, tool belt on and working side-by-side with his crew. Raymond is a Master Electrician and works management but does field work also. I knew then the upcoming work done would be (as in their name) "excellent". Working with Raymond that day (and for all the projects) were Manuel and Ray, Jr., both of whom were fantastic electricians as well as patient, helpful and courteous individuals. I always had a ready answer to any question and was always given the impression I was never a bother during my observations. There was quite a bit of demo involved in the replacement of the old panel but it was done professionally and with no additional damage. Cleanup was done each day was always great. During the inside work I was able to see just how good Manuel and Ray, Jr really were. They are a great team, working in close concert with each other and working safely, efficiently and getting tremendous results. I had several additional items to be completed inside and each time Manuel and Ray would smile and say " We'll get it done". And they did. Always. A really great team that worked late into the day to get the inside job done in the one day completion estimate. The work was really professionally done and I have no concerns about the safety of the house or it's wiring. In fact, I've never felt safer considering some of the inside wiring dated back to the 1950's. Those GFCI outlets make all the difference. Manuel and Ray's attitude never faltered even though there was quite a bit of heavy furniture moving involved with the inside work. There was never a concern and I was never made to feel I was imposing. Thanks again, guys! Overall, the two jobs proved to be a great experience, well worth the money and the minor inconveniences associated with the power being off in the house. Just the knowledge that quality work was done and safety never compromised has made it all worthwhile. Go out and hire this company. This is an update to my original review as I left out a very important individual. His name is Ishmael and he was responsible for the stucco work after the electricians had finished their job. I have had stucco repairs done to my house at least four times but it was Ishmael's work that most completely mirrored what the original stucco looked like. It was really great. I had already anticipated OK to just satisfactory work but when I saw his patch I couldn't tell where there hole had been. Excellent, excellent work. Thanks again, Ishmael.
Description of Work: Outside they replaced electrical panel box and upgraded to a new 200 amp panel. Installed all new circuit breakers, new power connection from main service line, new 10 foot grounding rods and patched stucco at completion of job. Inside they replaced all existing outlets in the house and installed new ground fault circuit interruption (GFCI) outlets to protect entire house.

What a truly amazing vendor! Within 8 hours of purchasing the service on Angie's List, I was contacted directly by the owner of the company, Raymond. Raymond listened to the issues (sub-par service conducted by another vendor), came out immediately to inspect my SPARKING electrical panel and immediately did a quick fix to ensure I wouldn't burn my house down. He then talked me through the work that needed to be done and took into consideration the fact that I had just paid a totally unscrupulous contractor a large sum of money to do things that actually created a bigger problem. Raymond and his crew showed up the next morning, on time with smiles on their faces and ready to work. They made sure I had time to put my frozen goods into ice chests (as my electrical would be out for hours) and even reminded me to empty my ice maker so I wouldn't flood my kitchen. Once the work got started, I needed to leave for my office and Raymond kept me updated on an hourly basis with text messages and pictures. He worked with my handyman to ensure he knew how to properly stucco around the new box and then followed up to remind me to schedule some additional wiring once the weather got warmer. Raymond then called me two weeks after the work was completed to make sure everything was in working order. And trust me... it was the first time in months I had ZERO flickering of lights in my home, and actually felt like I could turn on the microwave AND the washer at the same time and not blow up my cat. I had no problem at all referring him to my neighbor when her electrical box needed replacing the following month and she raves about him just as much as I do. All in all, this is a great group of people. Ethical, dependable and you get the feeling they truly care about their customers and their safety. Quality work, pricing was right on estimate and I will use them for all future electrical work at my home.

II was completely satisfied with their professionalism. Beyond doing an excellent job, every worker that came on the job was clean,courteous,respectful and hard working. I was informed of all they were doing at all times and the necessity for it. This was an old house, the panel was not sufficient for the new kitchen update , they provided the proper surge protection for the additional appliances. Also the new panel had to be moved to a new location to meet current codes. They re- stuccoed the hole where the previous panel was, matched the paint, you would never know a panel had been removed. All I know is that I personally was grieving the loss of my mother at this time, and the compassion and kindness and the way they took over and professionally did the work, I could not ask for more. I wholeheartedly trusted them and would recommend them highly. EXPERT,PROFESSIONAL,RESPECTFUL...Their company name says it all.

I rarely write reviews as I have high expectations. I met with 5 different electricians and awarded the business based on several factors: 1. How well they understood the request plus their explanation of their approach 2. Their responsiveness and overall professionalism 3. Current license, proof of insurance, lack of business complaints 4. Angie's list reviews 5. Price and schedule I can honestly say that Ray and his team exceeded all my expectations and then some. He is extremely responsive, professional, and friendly. He explained what he was going to do plus any concerns so there would be no surprises. He was punctual, never kept me waiting, and always communicative as to where we were on the project. One example in how he exceeded my expectations is by providing additional documentation for the HOA to help expedite the approval process. The supporting documentation (letter, pictures, copy of license) cut the approval time in half. In addition to this additional service, he and his team pulled all the licenses with the city, met with the inspector, and coached me on who to talk to and specific terms to discuss with the city and the electric company to expedite the process. In addition, to the top notch service Ray and his team provided top quality electrical work. I would not hesitate to use him again and have highly recommended him to family and friends.
