Wesley Z.
This was our second project with them and they nailed it again. Consistent quality, no games with pricing, and they clean up after themselves. That third point alone puts them above most.

The crew lead on our last job was exceptional. Explained every step, kept the work area organized, and double-checked everything before calling the job done. Details matter.

Hired Kensington Electric for electrical work in San Diego. A neighbor recommended them and now I understand why. Honest, skilled, and reasonably priced.

I specifically waited to write this review until a few months after the job to make sure everything held up. It has. No callbacks, no issues. The work was done right the first time.

Found them during an emergency and kept them for everything since. The emergency work was stellar but what really impressed me was how they handled the scheduled follow-up work afterward.
