"We hired Mike and his team to replace old, wood deck boards with composite boards, replace the screen around the enclosed portion of my deck, and paint the wood pickets on top of my front portico. They even sealed boards I did not get to, and that was not part of our contract. They went above and beyond, and the work they did was excellent. We are very happy with the finished product, and it all looks great. They do not leave any mess afterward either. It is good to work at a fair price. And Mike is very easy to work and communicate with, responding to all my texts and answering all my questions. Just be sure to go over the work completely, and have them finish any punch-out list before you hand over the final payment. I did have a couple of minor issues I found after the fact, and while Mike said he would come back to take care of them, he has yet to do so. It appears I will have to take care of them myself, but considering that he was thousands less than all the other estimates, this is a minor inconvenience. "

"I hired Jaime to replace my electrical panel, and he did amazing work. Jaime was prompt and professional in his communications, provided me with a turn-key proposal, worked with me to install exactly what I wanted, and quoted a very reasonable price. Jaime took care of all of the county permits and inspections and provided me with everything I needed to get my projects approval from my HOA. Jaime finished the job on time and left my home in better shape than he found it. I would absolutely recommend J3 to others, and Jaime will be my first call for future electrical work."

"Ariel Claros replaced our old power panel with a new 200 am Square D QO panel. He did an outstanding job for a very competitive price. He obtained a permit and passed the inspection without any issues or complains. He worked very professionally, addressed all our questions and requests. He also left the sight clean from any debris. We are very pleased with his work and will be hiring him for our next project. We also will be referring him to our friend as we trust the quality of his work and professionalism. Highly recommended."

There are numerous reasons you may need the services of a skilled electrician. If you've built an addition, need upgrade outlets to include USB ports, or are looking to upgrade your electrical panel, you should get quotes from several experts to ensure the job is done safely, correctly, and for a good price. On the other hand, if you're seeing problems like flickering lights and circuits tripping frequently or you have no power to something critical like an appliance, you should find an electrician near you who can quickly get started on repairs.
In addition to being able to respond quickly in many cases, electricians familiar with the homes in your neighborhood may be able to offer advice to avoid future issues. For example, they may know that homes in your area were built at a time when households drew less power so you should upgrade your circuit breaker panel. Or they may recommend whole house surge protectors if surges are common in your area.
No matter the reason you need an electrician, here are some questions to ask before you hire.
When comparing contractors, be sure to ask about their specialties, especially if you need help with a larger project like installing power in an addition or a commercial building or upgrading old knob and tube wiring.
