Rafael did an awesome job. Rafael arrived as planned at 7AM with his assistant to replace a fan in the bathroom. The work was finished quickly and he kept me up to date on how things were progressing. Once the job was completed the bathroom was cleaned and the fan works perfectly. I would highly recommend Rafael.

We called Dalcon Electric when a car struck a power line outside of our building and knocked out the electricity to our building. They were quick to respond in an emergency, courteous and professional. They helped us get our business back on track in a pinch. Then, we hired Dalcon to replace all 53 outdated outlets in our building. Dave and his crew (Jack and Billy) completed this efficiently and with minimal disruption to our business. When we needed to install emergency exit signs, Dalcon provided by far, the best quote for the work to be done compared to many other handymen we had considered. Jack and Billy installed our emergency signs and cleaned up the area where they had worked leaving it just as, if not better than, how they found it. Everyone at Dalcon is courteous, prompt and responsive. Dave, the owner, came in person to our office to discuss each project to be done. Scheduling these projects was a breeze, Sarah and Suzanne in the office were very responsive and made sure our concerns were addressed. We scheduled the projects out over time, but when a sooner date became available, someone from Dalcon would call and ask if that time would work for us so we could have our projects completed sooner. We would definitely work with Dalcon Electric again.

We’ve hired Dalcon for various jobs around our house. We’re renovating an older home, and Dalcon has come out to move outlets, replace or remove lights, and also to trouble shoot various issues we’ve encountered along the way. We’ve always worked with Carlos from Dalcon, and he’s been very courteous and professiona. The quality of his work is excellent. He’s detail oriented, and has even picked up on and corrected work done by other contractors who have worked on our house. The pricing is fair and straight forward, and we can’t recommend them enough. We’ve made the mistake of trying to do things ourselves, or hiring the person who gives the lowest quote. Going forward, Dalcon will be our first call and they should be yours too. Ask for Carlos, he’s great!
Hi [Member Name Removed]! We are always pleased when we get a great review! Carlos always goes above and beyond for each and every one of his clients and it's great that he's living up to his reputation. We are very lucky to have hime. Thank you for taking the time to leave him a review. We really appreciate it! Best regards, Sarah Nguyen, Dispatcher.

It went well. Brandin was super helpful and very nice. I was very happy with his work. He did a great job. My sister actually thought he was very attractive to boot ;) anyways, he did great, he was fast, and efficient. The only complaint that I had was that the price was way too high but I needed this done. Especially since it was just spliced off of an existing outlet it shouldn’t have cost $698.
