Why People Call Alex

Forty years of knowing exactly where to look.

Most of Alex's calls start the same way: someone hired the cheapest bid, and now the lights flicker, the breaker trips, or the inspector said no. He's the second call. The one that ends the problem.

"Anyone can replace a part. The skill is knowing which part, and why it failed."

That's what four decades in the trade buys you: pattern recognition. Alex mastered the craft overseas before coming to America, has held his California C-10 license since 1999, and has spent the decades since working on Sacramento-area homes. Alex has seen nearly every way a house can be wired, and nearly every way it can be wired wrong. He diagnoses before he touches anything, explains what he found in plain English, and quotes the fix. Not a fishing expedition on your dime.

He's semi-retired now, which means something good for you: he takes the jobs, does the work himself, and his name is on every one of them. No crews of trainees. No dispatcher. The person who answers the phone is the person holding the meter.

Straight Talk on Price

Not the cheapest. Not the most expensive. The most reliable.

The cheapest bid

You often pay twice

Alex's busiest category of work is repairing jobs that were won on price. The lowest bid is often the most expensive one, eventually.

Alex

Fair price, right diagnosis, done once

Honest middle-of-market pricing, a correct diagnosis before any work begins, and a fix that doesn't need a follow-up visit. That's the whole pitch.

The big franchises

You pay for the billboards

Premium prices covering ad budgets, sales commissions, and whoever's available on the truck that day. Not necessarily the person who'll solve your problem.

Service Area

Serving four counties across Greater Sacramento.

Based in the Roseville area, Alex works throughout the region and takes new clients every day.

Common Questions

Questions people ask before calling.

Do you fix work done by other electricians?

Yes, it's a large part of the work. Overloaded panels, unsafe splices, mislabeled circuits, jobs that failed inspection. Alex finds the actual cause, explains it plainly, and fixes it once.

My insurance company flagged my Zinsco or Federal Pacific panel. Can you help?

Yes. Many carriers now decline coverage or require these panels to be replaced. Alex replaces them regularly, pulls the permit, and provides the documentation your insurer needs. Read the full guide here, or just call.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. California C-10 electrical contractor license C10-803630, fully insured. You can verify the license anytime through the California CSLB website.

Do you take small jobs?

Absolutely. A single dead outlet gets the same diagnostic care as a panel replacement, and small strange problems are often the most interesting ones.

Are you the cheapest?

No, on purpose. Pricing sits in the fair middle. The value is that the diagnosis is right the first time and the work doesn't get redone. Many clients call precisely because the cheapest bid failed.

How fast can you come out?

Alex takes new clients every day and answers his own phone. Call or text and he'll tell you honestly when he can be there.

Describe the problem. Get a straight answer.
