I hired Sconce to fit about 10 light switches. They were responsive, professional, reasonably priced, did a great job and left no mess. They listened to everything I asked for and answered all my questions clearly. I would hire them again in the future.

VERY POOR SERVICE! It started with me leaving a voicemail that was not returned after 2 days, I gave the benefit of the doubt of course. Next call I made also resulting in having to leave a voicemail, I then sent a yelp work request, the next day I got a call from the owner, Greg, who apologized his office didn't relay on the message, although clearly this was his cell phone, as he started texting me from it shortly afterwards.

Ok benefit of the doubt, but here's where the service went from bad to worse to a nightmare. Greg referred me to a guy named Brent Demming, to draw some cads. You can see his reviews TL Demming designs. Also a complete He eventually came by and looked at my project, not sure why cos he really had zero interest in doing any work. He just completely lied to me about missing several appointments and when he did show up it was as if he was doing me the favor and had a dilligaf attitude. I would pass on this electrician if you want to be valued as a customer.

I've been calling electricians for weeks trying to find someone to help with my outlets that wouldn't work. Most either didn't answer, didn't return calls, or were simply too expensive. I explained my need, and he troubleshot and solved my issue over the phone! Now since he didn't come out I can't speak to anything other than this interaction, but i was impressed that he asked such detailed questions before quoting any cost. He was diligent and intelligent enough to ask the right questions. I'll trust someone who works smarter rather than harder, any day. 5 stars

We absolultely love Sconce Electric. Greg Sconce provides excellent customer service. We have used them multiple times - from a full house rewiring and new lighting/outlets to minor issues. I cannot say enough about this company. When we remodeled our home, dealing with Sconce was such a pleasant experience relative to others and years later, we continue to be loyal customers. I highly recommend them.

I was very impressed with all aspects of the electric work I needed done. First off, Greg actually answered the phone each time I called, plus he called me a couple of times with questions/timing. I had a mixture of several small projects and a couple of more intricate ones (putting in a new light and changing switches/separating can lighting). He and his crew arrived right on time, did all the work perfectly with excellent manners, and left everything clean when they finished.

All three men were extremely personable and easy to talk to, and I could tell that Greg's main aim was that I would be happy with the results. I certainly am, and I would highly recommend Sconce Electric. They were excellent and so easy to work with!

Called Sconce Electric this morning about a gfi outlet that caught fire when a wireless phone transformer blew also knocked out range and another plug. they said they were fully scheduled and asked my address to see if they could squeeze me in. I was very happy when they arrived 2:30pm the same day. The polite young worker fixed the issue quickly. I'm a happy camper & highly recommend!

We selected Greg/Sconce Electric to do a package of electrical improvement projects for my home -- we really liked how Greg listened to what we wanted, and gave us advice and ideas how how best to meet our wants. The crew, Chris and Will, came in and delivered excellent work. They started early, worked steady, and involved us in all the aspects that had option for owner inputs.

We were very pleased with the finish work on all the projects and in the month since the work, everything has held up fine -- the motion sensor light that kept tripping turned out to be a pair of raccoon explorers! Thanks to Greg, Chris, and Will for the good work!

I called Mr. Sconce to see if he could help me with the electrical problem at my parents' house. He called me back right away. His crew came out within half an hour! Other electricians told me they couldn't come by until next week, so I was amazed by Sconce's responsiveness. Chris and his helper were thorough in their work and kind and patient with my elderly parents and their neurotic dog. They were quick, and their bill was so much less than I expected. My parents are very happy with the whole experience. Thank you, Sconce Electric Co.!

This company was great! They called me back promptly, came out quickly, and were very professional and helpful. Solved my problem and I was very impressed with the two electricians that came out and did the work. I will use them as my go to company when ever I have electrical needs again.

Greg and his crew are AWESOME! Our son was purchasing his grandmother's home that she owned for 52 years. The home inspection we had identified several electrical concerns. We emailed Greg the report & he showed up with the report in hand & had clearly reviewed it prior as we walked thru the house. That same day he emailed us a very detailed & fair estimate.

He even gave us a discount for having all the work done at the same time. Greg & his crew are professional, friendly and absolutely a pleasure to work with. They deserve the 5 star rating & I would give them more if I could. We saved his contact info and will definitely use him for all our future electrical work. Thanks Greg!

Mysterious short last night knocked out half of our master bedroom and all the bath. Thought it was a breaker that would not reset. Called Greg this morning and he was able to come out right after lunch to, what I thought would be an expensive breaker replacement. Breaker turned out to be fine, so the search was on to find just what was going on.after pulling every plug and switch in the circuit and not finding the problem, he pulled our ac powered smoke detector down from the hall. and there it was, a slightly fried wire that had a bit of a loose wire nut! Clip the wire, new wire nut and BINGO, we have power again! Great job Greg. anyone asks, you da man!

Tenant at a rental property complained she did not have electricity in her kitchen and in the bathroom on one side of her apartment. A handyman worked on this issue two years ago was called again but this time, he couldn't figure out the problem. An electrician was then called but after one hour of tests, said he could not do the work himself because "it was a major job and he was only a sole proprietor." He told us to contact Sconce Electric. Called Sconce Electric on a late Friday and his associate Chris came to check all the outlets, wires, breaker box, etc. the following Monday morning. Conduits under the building or in the brick wall had been damaged which we figured would require extensive work and cost. Chris talked to his boss Greg Sconce over the phone so Greg came by later to inspect the problem.

He determined power could be restored instead by connecting wires through a conduit to an unused patio light. Two other associates finishing another job would come by after lunch to help out. Voila! Power was restored in a much shorter time (three hours) and at a much reasonable cost than expected. You can tell that he is very knowledgeable and experienced. He mentioned he had been doing electrical work for 36 years! I would definitely hire them again to fix any future electrical problems.

We did some remodeling in home last year with and Greg and his team were just fantastic. Whatever we wanted they made happen, like no outlets on the backsplash, dimmer switches on everything and specific outlets/switches we liked. Greg is very patient and kind. They are punctual and reliable! Expect them to arrive early and do not expect them to cancel.

A couple of times we had questions or needed something done in between other steps of the project and Greg would be there same day as we called him or next day. Sconce is more than deserving of this 5 star rating and we've already used them again.

Called and they answered on the third ring. I explained my problem and the gentleman I spoke with told me the price for a service call and I said to come on out. Before I hung up the phone, he asked me to try a few things for him, so I did as he instructed me, a d over the telephone he was able to get my electric problem solved for me. I know, you are saying "the guy was an idiot, he told him to flip the circuit breaker ", no that was not it, because I had already done that twice.

So in our checking various things out over the phone, we did diagnose the issue, and fix it. He sa ed me the service call money and my 87 year old mom and I are very grateful. I would highly recommend giving these people a call first.

You know, there are just times when you find someone who does great work, and does it consistently, that you know you are truly lucky. I feel that way with Sconce Electric. Seven months ago, Greg fixed my electric water heater. Today, Chris helped me with the install of my new electric double wall oven. He knew his stuff, was courteous, professional, and worked fast and efficient.

The quote was spot on, and he was able to get out here same day! Now THAT is great service! I cannot say enough positive about Sconce, and the team Greg has working with him. They are truly masters of their craft, with awesome customer service! Greg - you have a customer for life. Thank you!

I have had the team at Sconce do work at my house on several occasions. All of the work has been top-notch. Gregg is professional, detail orientated, personable, and fair. You can also tell that there is a high standard set for the employees. Fantastic company to work with. I highly recommend them.

Sconce gave me a very competitive quote and was able to do the work the same week. Work wasn't done quickly and no mess was left.

Greg is very friendly and a straight shooter. He came out and did a walk through of multiples items I was in need of completed. Fair market pricing and was able to complete the work same day. Would recommend to anyone and will use again for additional projects.

I hired Mr. Sconce to pull in a kitchen range outlet. He was able to fit me in in a reasonable time, showed up on time, did a superb job, cleaned after himself, all for a reasonable cost. If you need quality work done, he's your man! I would highly recommend him to my best friends.

I called to schedule an appointment because the electrical on one wall in my kitchen wasn't working after the microwave broke. Before scheduling an appointment, the gentleman who answered the phone walked me through some trouble shooting and was able to help me fix the problem without an appointment. The issue was simple, so I have no insight into their technical expertise, but the customer service was phenomenal. I will definitely use them in the future should another problem arise.

Had an emergency and called a few companies. Greg couldn't help immediately but offered two names who might help and to call back if neither person answered. Called the first person and he was available. Really appreciate the professionalism and attention to my needs. I highly recommend working with Greg Sconce!

Had several outlets stop working yesterday on Sunday. Sent a request for an estimate and they answered that they are very busy but could squeeze us in the next day on Monday afternoon. They came out, diagnosed the problem, and corrected the problem in about an hour. The price was very reasonable, especially since they squeezed us in three days before Thanksgiving.

We hired Sconce Electric to put in an outdoor outlet for our above ground pool. The quote was reasonable and install was fast and professional. Highly recommend!

Greg, his foreman Chris, and the rest of the team were absolutely fantastic. We bought a tudor-style home in Sacramento built in the 1920s whose electrical we wanted to make safe and modernize. The house still had knob-and-tube wiring for 3/4 of the house (not to mention insulation laying over/under it), about 1 or 2 outlets per room, exposed and energized circuit conductors, a flex electrical conduit that was subject to damages, missing GFCI protection in the kitchen.

We wanted to make sure that the electricians we hire had experience with older homes and were professional, aside from being capable. Greg came out for the initial quote. Once we hired him, Greg and his foreman came out again ahead of the agreed upon start date to review the needed work. Then when they came back to start the work, they kept us notified of the work progress, any changes, and the remaining schedule.

They blocked out two weeks of work but finished in about 4 days. They were even able to climb into this tiny attic crawl space to remove the knob-and-tube wiring that other electricians seemed less willing to do. They even patched up (and paint-matched) any and all holes where old wall outlets used to be. They do everything aboveboard, including permit acquisitions (which they gave us a copy of at the end of the project) and work inspection from an independent person.

All of Greg's workers are also insured, which we found out isn't exactly a common thing amongst all licensed electricians. They were professional, always-on-time (if not early), competitive with prices, and experienced with older homes. So if you have major or minor electrical needs, hire them. They're worth every penny!

Very pleased with the service I just received. Had two bathroom fans installed and an outlet in the kitchen for a hooded range. They arrived on time, were fast and did a great clean up. I would go with this company again if I needed future work. Can't go wrong with them :

Greg Sconce and his professional team of Cory and Chris did a great job on my kitchen remodel. We needed to upgrade the kitchen with 9 additional outlets, new overhead light, and stove vent. They were timely, their work was complimented by the county building inspector, and reasonably priced. We highly recommend their work. Richard and Connie
