SV Electric – James Romero

James stopped by the house and talked to me about what I wanted and what my options were. He gave me an estimate that I thought was fair. A few days later, he and his helper arrived right on time which I appreciated. They finished their work just when James said that they would and they left absolutely no trace of being there and even vacuum and haul away all of the trash in their own trash can. They put in new lights and dimmers in the living room and kitchen, changed out almost all of my outlets and light switches and installed new hallway lights. I couldn’t be happier with the work and would use them again.

Very positive experience with James for a light project on fire detector and he even recommended the newest model which don’t need to be taken care again in another ten years! James was patient, level headed and willing to share his thoughts.

James deserves every one of the five star reviews he has. He is a total straight shooter, reasonably priced, on time, and professional. He had some great ideas for our home for the future, and was very honest with us about the pros and cons of our ideas for changing the lighting in our new home. He showed up on time, finished early, and was incredibly respectful of our child’s nap schedule. James covered all our furniture before installing our new light fixtures, vacuumed afterwards, and even patched the drywall. Two enthusiastic thumbs up – we will be using him again!!!

James is absolutely AMAZING! He provided a fair and honest quote right away for our electric panel upgrade. He communicated with us timely and showed up right on time for the day of the install. If you need any residential electric work, please call James. He is honest, on time, knowledgeable and friendly. We have found ourselves a great electrician!

Unprofessional. I left several messages (no live response) explaining that I had a problem which (according to internet advice) needed to be looked into quickly. No response. After the first lack of response, I requested that if SV was overloaded, at least the courtesy of a quick call back to let me know so I could contact someone else. No response. After over a week, I finally called Jet Electric and have been very happy since.

James is awesome! He came out and installed 2 ZWave switches and 7 canned LED lights. He was very quick and kept the place clean. Vacuumed up any dust or drywall chunks as he went. He also covered all the counters with plastic.
I would highly recommend James.

James was great; I definitely recommend SV Electric.
James put in 31 can lights in my ceilings, fixed a circuit, installed 2 bathroom fans, a GFI circuit, porch lights at front, back and side doors, 3 new outlets, and more and did it, like clockwork. I was amazed.
Great communication, great job, great price.

We had James come by and wire ceiling fans, install wiring for the A/​C guys, and install an outdoor plug. We had a great experience and I would highly recommend James for any electrical work you may need.
He was on time, clean, and worked quickly. They even followed through on their appointment when it was 100 degrees outside.

While @ San Jose Medical Group (DCHS Medical Foundation). I set up James as our Primary Electrician.
When It came to our 17 Buildings, James worked in every single one of them!
He has always been on time. The price he charged was extremely fair for working in commercial buildings. He was so fair, that I stopped getting quotes from other’s. It saved me a lot of time to just have SV Electric handle our projects. He labeled everything he touched and left no guess work for myself or anyone else concerning the work that was done.
If you are in need of an electrician Commercial or Residential SV Electric is who to call. You will not be disappointed, and I am sure you will be using him again and again!

James was excellent! Highly recommend. Very reasonable pricing. He installed several outlets and a timer switch.

James was fantastic. He walked through my home with me and had great suggestions. His crew removed the old fluorescent kitchen lighting box and installed recessed LED lights. The drywall guy he used made the kitchen ceiling look original. He was honest, worked quickly and stayed on budget. Very easy to talk to as well. Highly recommended.

James was fantastic, clean work and fast installing a master bathroom fan.

I had James do some out door lighting and install plug in garage. His work was clean, he even went out of his way to take care of some other stuff that I didnt even notice. Great recommendation! Pricing was very reasonable and totally worth it!!!

I bought a home on a «short Sale» which means I bought a lot of issues which needed to be addressed. I contacted James based upon the other positive reviews for him.
James solved every issue I had,
Was fair with pricing, and fixed problems I wasn’t sure were fixable!
I don’t give him five stars,… I give him 10!

James is really a fantastic electrician. Very knowledgeable and detailed oriented. He goes over all the options that are available and will make sure that the job is done right the first time. I have had James do quite a bit of work to our house and have been happy with all of it. I highly recommend James.

James was very responsive from the time I sent my request for an estimate to the time he arrived at my house. He does email after hours so communication is easy. His quote was 10% –15% lower than another electrician’s quote.
I had a NEMA 14 – 30 receptacle installed in my garage which involved installd the circuit breaker in existing panel and wiring the breaker through the wall to the receptacle. It took about 1.5 hours for the job. I plugged in my Clipper Creek charger and connected to my new Ford Fusion Energi plug-​in hybrid and my battery was charged in 2 hours.

James is the «SUPERMAN» of electricians. You will not find a more honest, genuine, honest man to do your electrical work. I called James at 7:00AM on Sunday after July 4^th to install 2 expensive light fixtures over our dining and kitchen tables. I had a «handyman» try the night before (never again), James came to my house at 1:00 in the afternoon and was done by 2:45. Not only did he repair the first fixture, he hung it perfectly… saving me from buying a new one after the handyman ruined it. He did an amazing job on the second fixture too. I thought his price was fair and I was very impressed with him and his work. He has everything you need in his truck to do the job and do it right… the first time. I am going to have him back in a few weeks to install 3 ceiling fans and run electric to a backyard hot tub.
He is awesome!!!

I had James troubleshoot some outlets in our master bathroom that had stopped working and install some new floor outlets in our living room. I contacted him based upon his positive Unilocal reviews and he lived up to expectations. He was responsive, showed up on time, and did quality work. His prices are extremely fair and (if you’re interested) he takes the time to explain what he is doing so you can better understand home wiring.
I highly recommend James and look forward to working with him again.

James is one of the most professional, honest and thorough contractors I have dealt with. After finding great reviews for him on Unilocal back in April I called him for a project I needed done. I have since had him out to do more and every single time has been a great experience — quality work and very fair prices. He more than earned all of the 5 star ratings you see for him here.
Thus far he has moved all the electrical outlets for our kitchen so that the outlets are mounted under our cabinets, replaced all the recessed lighting units, and and run a new outlet for our over the fireplace mounted TV. And really, every single time I have been pleased with his work and recommendations.
One other thing that I like is that he is honest and isn’t trying to make the issues you have bigger so that he can charge more.
I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who wants the job done right.

I originally contacted James regarding a pump issue at a client’s property. Instead of taking the job and charging me even though a plumber would have been better, he referred me to a pump specialist and advised if the pump specialist thought there was an electrical issue he would come out.
In fact there was an electrical issue, James came out and hooked up the electric, explained patiently to me how it works, and his recommendations for the next step.
He was helpful, knowledgeable and provided the exact service at the exact price we had discussed over the phone. I will be using James for all of our electrical needs in the future.
