Alley Electric

Worked with Alley Electric to bring our house up to code. This involved, updating the electrical panel, replacing the knob and tube wiring amongst many other things (a big job). They were very professional and very helpful all the way through the project (even with PG&E who were less than useful). Shout out to Wesley, Alina, and the guys who did the work on the house (so sorry I forgot your names, its been a couple of weeks)

I was impressed with Alley Electric by my first encounter with the young lady in the office. She was friendly and personable. My impression only got better when I met the owner, Wesley. He was professional, polite, punctual and seems to honestly care about others. We needed to have aluminum wiring replaced with copper wire. We sought three estimates. Alley Electric/Wesley was clear in explaining what work needed to be done. Alley Electric was in mid range of the other two quotes. Wesley and his team arrived on time. His two workers were professional and polite. The timeframe for the job was on track, and they thoroughly cleaned up when finished. I will definitely use Alley Electric again, and have already referred them to my daughter. I strongly recommend Alley Electric for their excellent work, great customer service and awesome owner. Wesley, thank you for a great job and wonderful experience!

Alley Electric installed a Level 2 EV charger and GFCIs throughout the house. The work was high quality and done as scheduled. We had an issue a few weeks later where the EV charger kept flipping its breaker. When I emailed them, they came out and replaced the defective breaker within two days free of charger. Would not hesitate using them again.

Had an electrical emergency. Wesley came by within only an hour of two or calling. He was extremely professional and diligently looked over the situation and solved the issue. He was also very friendly and helped educate me on certain re the house’s electrical set-up. Will absolutely be calling Alley again when I need electrical help.

Wesley and his team (Daniel and Omar) did a whole-house rewire to replace remaining knob-and-tube and other ungrounded wiring in our “new” 100+ year old house in Oakland. We got 3 other quotes for the work, and they varied significantly in price. Alley was the most affordable, and it came with the added bonus that we found Wesley the most down-to-earth and likable. He and his wife Alina make a great team –they’re somewhat old school, and came by the house several times to collect our signed contract and payments. The work took 2 weeks (10 days, Monday-Friday) for our 1800sqft home (+ unfinished basement and garage), which was about 3 days longer than predicted, but it was a big job! Daniel and Omar are two of the hardest working people we’ve come across. There were several days that they arrived at 7:30am and didn’t leave until after 9pm. But whatever it took, they got the job done in a reasonable amount of time, were patient (especially when I was looking over their shoulders out of sheer curiosity) and communicative, and had good insights on what made sense (where lights/switches/etc should go) when we needed their opinions. Finally, they were both super pleasant to be around (which is important when they’re spending so much time in your space!) Two weeks after the job wrapped up, we actually asked Wesley to come back to put in a few more outlets and 6 recessed lights in our living room. The guys did a great job again. We’re so happy we did this –we absolutely love our lights, and are really relieved we did the work before closing up the walls. There’s no doubt in my mind that we would work with Alley again, should a need arise.

Alley installed an EV charger in my home and they were professional, timely, and cost competitive. Will absolutely use them again in the future.

I have done 3 whole house rewires, and Alley Electric is the only one I would happily use again! They started and finished (approximately) when they said they would, and they cleaned up after themselves every day. The pricing was fair. Alina was a pleasure to work with on contracts, payments and scheduling. I will be calling them the next time I need an electrician in the East Bay!

Alley Electric has been my go-to electrician since I first reached out to them in 2014. Last summer, my family moved from Union City to Fremont, and we wanted to get several light fixtures replaced in our new home. Alley Electric was the first company I reached out to for this latest job. They were super-responsive over email, getting a few additional details from me about the light fixtures to be replaced. With those details, they gave me a quote that was cheaper than I expected for the quality of service I knew they would provide. However, they were booked several weeks out, so I’d have to wait about 3 weeks before they could come do the job. I contacted one other electrical company with 5-star reviews just to see what they would charge and whether they could potentially come out sooner. That other company was less responsive over email, and they quoted me a considerably higher price (like 1.5x what Alley Electric quoted). Though they did have same-week availability. I decided Alley Electric was worth the wait. When Wesley arrived, he completed the job efficiently, with high quality, and charged exactly what he quoted. I couldn’t have asked for any better service, except for sooner availability of course! But I’m not surprised that Alley Electric is in high demand. From my experience, their rates are great and the quality of their service is top-notch. They will continue to be the first company I reach out to for any electrical needs I have going forward.
