Dollens Electric is exceptional. They give an accurate read on what needs to be done. They are a safety-first company that shows up energetic & work until the job is done correctly. They basically re-wired our whole house in Santa Cruz, CA. It's an old, small house but took a lot of work & they were persistent & consistent. Highly recommended. Joshua, Sam & Elijah were our crew and they rock!

The crew (Josh + Elijah) was excellent, very smart and thorough in identifying and fixing the issues, which included problems due to water damage, as well as poor previous installations. They also fixed my misbehaving ceiling fan, and installed a tricky fixture. They were super courteous, professional, and transparent about the cost of parts and labor. No wonder Dollens is the highest rated in the Bay Area. Will use again with pleasure when needed, abd recommend highly!

Josh & Elijah replaced our electrical panel. They were both professional & answered any questions I had. Their work area was cleaned after they were done. They even clean out my rain gutter & spout - that's above & beyond work!

We recently bought a vehicle and I contacted Jason and he came right away. The next day his son Josh, cousin Elijah, and their friend came by to install our 240 volt outlet with precision and quality. I would go to them again.
