I think I just had to replace the battery in the thermostat. Their quality was excellent. They did very well. I thought he would have to do a lot more work. He showed me how to take the thermostat off the wall and open it up. He answered all my questions. He was on time. He came right on time, right when he said he would. He was very professional. Yes, I would definitely use him again.

Josh was the 7th call I placed to address our electrical problem. He was the second one to actually answer the phone! Rather than starting by quoting his fees to come out same day (as the other vendor did), he asked I send pictures of the breakers and box. I did, and his next suggestion was to call PG&E to be sure the bill had been paid or the service shut off for some other reason. EUREKA! The shared bill (so small we pay well ahead) had been missed! At a minimum, Josh shaved me the $250 quoted by the other company for a same day visit. AND, he was very nice, professional and clearly has run into this issue before. YAY JOSH!!!!!

I'll be having Josh work on our electrical exclusively from here on out. He really did a great job and was able to identify some problems that my previous electrician had created. He is generous with his knowledge and can speak plainly to a lay person about very complex criteria that drive his recommendations. Top notch.

Essentially perfect service. Josh and his father showed up on time, were professional and courteous, all work was done properly. They even talked me out of having some of the electrical work done that I had planned on, due to their view that it would be a bad return on my investment. Their recommendation saved me about $500. Overall, I could not have asked for better service.

I had to have automatic doors put in so they had to put in the electrical outlet. They had to put it in the garage (the electrical outlet) in order for me to have an automatic door.  It was electrical because my garage door was by somebody else. They were very prompt in everything. They went about putting it in very well. They put in two outlets, one for each garage. I have two garages. I liked it best because he was in my neighborhood. I was happy with everything he did. They were very responsive. They came very quickly.

Prompt and polite - introduced himself as well as his coworker - when I emailed him he called with 24 hours asked questions and said he was able to do it and was up front with his prices, I agreed and set up an appointment. He arrived on time, and he re-asked what was the issue was, and asked what I did to trouble shoot, he then took over to see what I did wrong, explained the situation and helped me understand what I was doing wrong, and fixed the issue

Josh from James Frost electrical was super responsive in scheduling and quoting our job. He was prompt, very realistic and gave me an education about what was needed and the risks with our old electrical system. The job took a few hours and the job site was perfectly clean when he left.

I saw the positive reviews of James Frost Electrical and decided to call them.  A couple of outlets in my kitchen were not functioning.  I left a message and received a call back within the hour from Josh.  I explained the issue, and he gave me an estimate over the phone.  It just so happened that he could fit me in the same day.  He gave me an approximate time and said he would check in with me about an hour before that to let me know a more definite time.  Josh followed through exactly as promised.
He was friendly and professional.  He confirmed what the issue was and answered all of my questions.  They charge an hourly fee, and there was time left in the hour after he had completed the original work request.  I asked if he would look at the other GFCI outlets and replace them if necessary.  He said he would be happy to do so and found another outlet that needed replacement.  I really appreciated his willingness to do the extra review, which saved me the cost of another service visit.
Overall he was efficient, pleasant, and professional.  I would definitely call them again if I have another electrical problem.  They are a family business, which really came through in their great service and personal touch.
