- [Joe B.](https://robertselectric.com/testimonial/joe-b/) - They're not cheap, but they're good, they're in Oakland, and they're reputable. These things make them my choice for electrical contractors. They've done interior work for me, installing two ceiling fixtures where old gas ones would have been and exterior motion lighting. They've done the wiring for the inside of my garage so I could
- [John W.](https://robertselectric.com/testimonial/john-w/) - Highly recommend Roberts Electric. Angela, of the home office, really went the extra mile in setting up the appointment. She even found a ten-dollar overcharge on the bill and refunded me the mistake. I highly recommend these folks!
- [Majid S.](https://robertselectric.com/testimonial/majid-s/) - A neighbor recommended Roberts Electric to me during a family emergency, and I called at 8:30am.

I needed them to check the grounds in the living
- [Steve P.](https://robertselectric.com/testimonial/steve-p/) - I had Roberts Electric (RECO) do a commercial electric and data project because of a recommendation from a contractor friend.

I have been working with them for several years, Very professional!
- [Victor W.](https://robertselectric.com/testimonial/victor-w/) - Roberts Electric did a small job for me installing a 240 outlet in my driveway for charging my new EV.

- [Judi M.](https://robertselectric.com/testimonial/judi-m/) - I had Roberts Electric install a lighting system for a horse-riding arena. They were fantastic, making sure the permits were in place, the breakers were easily identified, and they did a great job adding more lights when we realized there was a dark area on the path to the arena. Great price, quality work and
