Brentwood Electrical

Stay away from this company. Unreliable, shoddy work, overpriced and does not keep their commitment for any of this! Shocking that I have to write this review but I do not want anyone else to have the same experience I did. I hired them several months ago to repair a broken outdoor outlet and several other small tasks. At that point last fall they were great! On time, professional and did the job efficiently. For $2000+. Less than 2 months later the outlet stopped working. I called to have them come back to repair that AND to remove some sconces before I had painters coming. They scheduled me for 12pm-2pm and didn't arrive until 4:40pm at which point it was too dark outside to repair the outlet so the only work that was performed was removing 2 sets of sconces. $400. The painting in the house is done so I need the sconces put back up and that darn outlet repaired. I called a week ago to get on the schedule. I was promised a call back in 24 hours to schedule. I never received a call. I had to call them a week later at which point I was told they could not get to me for another week or 2. That was unacceptable and, quite frankly, I didn't trust that they would follow through. After letting them know how angry I was, they called me to say they would send a technician this morning between 9:00am and 11:00am. At 10:09am they called to say they were not coming and could they come next week. My answer was NO. I want a refund for the work they did on the broken outlet and I will find another more reliable electrician. Not sure what happened to their customer service, but things appear to have changed internally and it has negatively impacted their practice. A shame. A company that was highly regarded is now the place that no one should call.

My impression is that Brentwood Electrical is only good for really basic repairs, and that they are overpriced, even with the Angie's List discount. The Electrician was unable to replace a 6-Button switch. He said that the company doesn't typically work on "smart switches," but that he'd consult the owner. I later received a $576.00 Proposal ($720 without the Angie's List Discount) for a $80.00 switch, described by the manufacturer to require a 15 minute wiring install. (The newer version of the switch now allows WiFi programming, for which I didn't need help; I just wanted the old switch swapped out.)

They are a little expensive but overall they are good.

I emailed them through their website saying that I needed my backup Generac generator service/tuneup. They left a message for me to make an appointment. I called and the gentleman who answered asked where I lived and what kind of generator. Then, he told me that they did not service generator at all. It would save all of us a lot of time by telling me the first time.

In a word, great. The guys were on time, very professional, and knew exactly what to do. They finished the work quickly and had time to do another project I thought would be a more difficult job: put new electrical sockets in the hall closet. They were able to open up the wall, install the sockets and a replacement light switch in short order. All in all, they spent less than an hour here, but did everything I'd hoped and more for the $250 fixed price coupon. The work was done a couple of months ago, and everything is still working just fine.

The electrician, Christian, came precisely on time and effeciently did the work we needed.  He was very cheerful and knowledgeable.

As recommendation, I will use the email my tenant sent to me:

"The electrician came right at 8AM and replaced the GFCI outlet. He said that they are very sensitive in order to do their job correctly and also sometimes not all of them are perfect and that this one had blown....that it should be fine going forward.  He also said that vacuum cleaners take a lot of power and that sometimes that might stress the sensitivity of a GCFI - no problem using it from that circuit but given the outlet's delicacy maybe best to use the regular 3 prong outlets...which is what I'll do going forward. As feedback, the electrician was commutative, clean, not creepy, cleaned up the counter after he was done, and used a quality replacement outlet not some cheap home depot generic. Thanks for getting them out here!"

We will definitely use Brentwood in future and highly recommend them.

They are punctual. They do a good job. I have been using them since 2003. They have good prices, as well.

I am very pleased with them, and I got them on Angie's List. They are very responsive, if you need somebody promptly, they do come promptly, and they explain things very well. I like the technicians that they have sent. I have had 3 different technicians. They are not cheap, but on the other hand they are good.

took longer and costs more than originally quoted. If I wasn't there as a helping hand the job could not have physically been done.  Thought I was paying for a technician and a helper.

Haven't received bill as yet.  Allen went out of his way to make sure my job was serviced on same day I called.  I was impressed and very grateful,  Jose completed job very efficiently.  I've scheduled any meeting with them for estimate on future job.  Thanks Brentwood Electrical!

I was very pleased with their work. I have used them for past work for adding a new outlet inside the house. The technician was very pleasant, informative, and knowledgeable. He explained to me what he was doing while he was doing the work. The office was very helpful getting the appointment set up. I plan on using them in the future for another job.

We had a soffet removed lighting replace.  We were lucky to have scheduled the work when we did.  Our kitchen cabinets were being refinished and a new side-by-side refrigerator with custom panels arrived while Robert was here.  A new plug had to be moved before the refrigerator could be slide into place.
After another (excellent Angie's List provider ) completed the drywall work, we had Robert come back out and complete a few minor jobs for us.
We have them on our 'list to call' should we need electrical work in the future.

The electrician was great- prompt, polite, and knowledgeable.  I'll call him again for future electrical needs and repairs.

He was good. Their normal price was $140 an hour and because of the Angie's List discount it became $125, but I think it was an hour and a half or maybe two and a half hours. The price got to be pretty big, but I still had a discount. He did whatever we wanted, so if they fix things and they don't break down again they've done their job. He was a nice person and I'll call him again since he knows our house already. I thought the price was kind of high, but maybe everybody charges that much because these guys are skilled.

I needed someone to come out RIGHT AWAY to remove some radiant heating wires so my dry wall people can patch up some holes. I called Brentwood Electrical and they were able to send someone out within two hours of my call. Ray was professional and completed the job in two hours. They are a bit pricy but worth the money if you need someone in a hurry.

I wasn't here when the work was done, but everything worked properly when I came home and was exactly as expected.

My advice is to hire them; they were very courteous, professional, prompt and their prices are reasonable. I will use them again in the future.

The job went smoothly. Robert was one time, very knowledgeable and efficient. However, the price set by the office was high at $140/hour.
