I highly recommend Clar Electric. Jamie is old school in the way he works - high quality, integrity, and value. He worked efficiently and had a solution to fix a switch rather than replace a fixture. He worked efficiently, did a high quality job, and is thoughtful about problem solving in an economical way. Thank you, Jamie!

We had some small electrical repairs around the house and Jamie was able to service our home the same day we gave his company a call. He was able to squeeze us in toward the end of his day. He is very knowledgeable and didn't hesitate to explain what he was doing or answer any questions I may have had.

Jamie Clar, owner, came to my house after confirming his arrival time on the phone with me. He explained how most installations usually go, and what can sometimes make them complicated. Luckily for me, this was not one of the complicated types of jobs, but I had full trust that even if it was he would have been up to it and not required more for compensation. He was polite, upbeat, and let me know what he was doing step-by-step.

The service men arrived on time and performed the work in about an hour. The work entailed cutting a hole in the garage soffit to install a recessed GFCI outlet. They then ran conduit from the outlet to a new junction box and then to an existing light switch. They added a double switch to that existing switch so that cafe lights could be turned on and off independently from the other garage lights. I will hire them for my next electrical job.
Description of Work: I installed commercial grade string lights over my patio and asked Clar Electric to install an electrical outlet under my garage soffit and connect that outlet to a light switch.

Clar Electric, and its owner, Jamie Clar, continue to impress us. After using Jamie for numerous projects over the years, we never considered anyone else for our biggest project yet: removal and replacement of old wiring on the first and second floor of our home. His team was very professional and kept the holes in our plaster walls to a minimum, which made repairing them much easier. They were also very punctual, and Jamie is very responsive to any emails. The cost was fair, too. We can't recommend Car Electric enough!

The job went really well. The workers were kind and kept the mess to a minimal. They did a good job of cleaning up at the end of each day (2 day job). The electricians were magicians. I couldn't believe they installed all 16 cans with only a couple of small holes in the drywall. I would definitely use them again. The only disappointment that I had was the left over drywall work that I needed to do. To be fair, I knew about this ahead of time and all of the quotes I received stated that the holes will need to be patched by someone else. I just thought this was odd. At the very least I would have thought that they would have patched the holes and put the first coat of mud on.
Description of Work: We had can lights put in 2 rooms (16 total), 2 additional electrical outlets added (one above the fireplace for a flat screen tv), removed 6 can lights, and removed a floor outlet.

They did a great job. Jamie was super responsive to emails and gave us a price that was well under other quotes we had received from places. We have a lot more work that needs to be done so I know we will be contacting them again in the future. We will also recommend them to family and neighbors.

Jamie provided a prompt quote and scheduled the work within about a week. Two electricians showed up promptly at 8:00 am as promised. They covered the work area with tarps to collect the dust. The lights are well spaced despite all sorts of pipes and ductwork in the ceiling and each light is on its own switch as requested. Jamie even stopped by mid-job to see how things were going and stayed until completion. I am very pleased with the work.
Description of Work: I had a hanging light in my kitchen replaced with a recessed "can" and had two additional "cans" added to the adjacent family room.

Jamie and his guys were absolutely phenomenal to deal with. Jamie is extremely responsive either over the phone or via email. He always got back to me very quickly whenever I reached out to him. And the guys that did our can installation, Phil and Dan, we just as great. Very professional and always took the time to answer any questions I had. I would absolutely reach out to Jamie again should the need arise in the future. His price quote was in line with others I received but I think it's his attentiveness and professionalism that sets him apart from the rest and the reason I chose to work with him. Very highly recommended.
