"Apollo responded quickly to a quote request. I described the job, provided some photos, and they were able to quote without a visit to the house, which was much appreciated. We scheduled the work for the next week. The communication during this period was very fast and smooth. The electricians arrived on time, we're very polite and professional, we reviewed the job once more, they completed the work, confirming with me the final location of new receptical before cutting started, and before I knew it the work was done. They cleaned up, we did final review of completed job, explanation of what to do in case there are questions or issues, invoice, out the door. Quite painless from end to end and I couldn't be more satisfied. Will hire again, absolutely."

"Omri has been informative and highly skilled in responding to my electrical needs. I've hired him twice now. He has installed a number of outlet sockets in a room that didn't have any. He has also hard wired a new ring doorbell pro that didn't have existing doorbell wiring. In completing his work, Omri has been mindful of my concern for how things look aesthetically, and has taken the proper precautions to complete the jobs with a keen attention to detail. I have a number of other projects that I will look to Omri to complete for me in the future."

"I hired JC Electric (Jaime) for two projects: a panel upgrade and an EV charging installation. In both cases, Jaime was meticulous, reliable, and highly skilled, ensuring the projects were completed on time. Beyond his expertise, he is an honest and trustworthy professional. I would gladly work with him again on future projects and highly recommend his services."

"Ok looking for someone to remodel our house was hard work. Look no further. We got so lucky to find Bay easy construction the most amazing company that took good care us. We had and old kitchen and two bathrooms that needed work. In addition, all the interior of the house was painted and the old popcorn ceiling was removed. We also upgraded the electric system in the house and installed a new paneling. During the process Ofer advised to change the flooring and we went from carpet to tile and it made a dramatic difference for the best. Ofer gave us a tempting price to get it done and we are so happy we decided to do this. All the work finished for less than two months. Yay! Construction can be painful but this was a very pleasant experience. Ofer and Bay Easy Construction is a responsive, quality company that is concerned with customer satisfaction. Everyone was professional and friendly, and I felt that they really listened to what I wanted to accomplish with my dreams. By the end they felt like family that took good care of us during this process I am grateful to them. The work they accomplished was modern clean and really good quality. We are very happy with the results."

"Ray was instrumental in upgrading the electrical in my townhome, including installing new recessed lights, light fixtures, replacing receptacles with new ones and modern cover plates. He also relocated and installed a new subpanel providing dedicated circuits to appliances and the newly installed recessed lights. Ray is incredibly knowledgeable and very easy to work with and I would recommend him and happily use his services again."

FAQs for electrical for home addition or remodel installation projects in Palo Alto, CA

There are several telltale signs that your home is due for an electrical upgrade. You may need to rewire your house if your lights are constantly flickering or your circuit breaker keeps tripping. If you feel mild electric shocks when you touch light switches, hear buzzing sounds, or notice burning smells, you may need to rewire your house, too. Discolored or burnt-looking switches and faceplates are another crucial warning sign. 

Properly installed copper wiring in a residential property can last as long as 50 to 100 years in some cases, but many homes over 30 years old are due for an upgrade. That’s the timeline that many experts recommend, even if it is only a partial update to accommodate technological advancements, increased power demands, and changing safety requirements. 

At $3 to $5 per square foot, the cost to wire a 2,000-square-foot house ranges from $6,000 to $10,000, on average. This can depend on many factors, like the age and complexity of the house and how easy it is for contractors to access the areas they need to get the job done. Opening and repairing walls can further add to your total cost.
