Client Testimonials
Billy was very responsive, took care of everything, from permits to dealing with PG&E. Two things I did not have the desire to do. Quick turn around on scheduling and getting the work complete. His team was professional and efficient. If you are looking for someone to do your electrical in the Bay Area, do not hesitate to call. He will come out, give you a quote and get it done! Thanks again Violet Ray! A pleasure working with you all!

I own a rental property in Richmond. My tenant reported multiple circuit trips occurring, and reported they had an electrician look into the problem. The electrician recommended replacement / upgrade for the electrical sub-panel. I contacted Violet Ray Electrical and other bay area electricians to discuss the issue. Billy of Violet Ray was outstanding! He discussed other avenues to explore BEFORE replacing my functioning sub-panel. We discussed the pros and cons of upgrading the entire electrical system in my 70 year old home. In concluding our conversation Billy suggested I contact electricians in Richmond or neighboring cities to investigate further before spending thousands of dollars replacing the sub-panel. I appreciate the 15 minute discussion he gave me. The free tutorial on residential electrical operation. Thanks to Violet Ray Electrical I am better prepared to address my tenants issue.

Throughout our five month extensive home remodeling project, Billy has consistently been great to work with, reliable, thorough, and professional. He's also just a great person, with outstanding positive energy, that is great to have around.

Billy installed 4 recessed lights in a bed room. The project was in an older house with Sheetrock + plaster ceilings and knob and tube wiring. I worked along side Billy removing plywood in the attic which was covering the work area. Billy helped with the plywood removal and even let me use his tools to speed up the job. He communicated well and explained the different switch options. It's clear that he has many years of experience and knows what he's doing. He arrived on time and cleaned the area after the project was completed. I'm happy with the end result and will call him again for the next project.

Billy is great - he's helped me install a new outlet for a dryer (and also, a new electrical panel) on my very old house, as well as do some electrical work for a mounted TV. He has a very good attention to detail and is very clean. He's also a cool dude and I know I can count on him on any electrical work on my house.

I hired Billy to install lights throughout my home. He shows up on time, does good work, tidies up after he is done - everything you want in a good electrician. Billy is an outstanding electrician and provided us with exceptional service. He showed up on time, and did a great job. He consulted with me on different options. We had him work on a wide array of projects and they were all done professionally. He's a positive guy who takes pride and job in his work, seldom seen today with most contractors.

I hired Billy to install lights throughout my home. He shows up on time, does good work, tidies up after he is done - everything you want in a good electrician. He has repaired lights in my company's office as well. Again, always showing up on time and doing good work. I highly recommend him and will use him again.

Billy of Violet Ray Electric is a great guy. He is a knowledgeable electrician as well. Billy installed a sub panel in my garage and most recently a GFIC for my spa. His pricing is fair and reasonable. You will be happy and satisfied with Billy and his service. I highly recommend him for any and all of your residential and or commercial electrical needs. He has repaired lights in my company's office as well. Again, always showing up on time and doing good work. I highly recommend him and will use him again.

Billy @violet ray electric was excellent. He arrived on time, was careful in his execution of work, cleaned up when he was done, and delivered as promised. Highly recommend the professional work.

I was going through a remodel where the electrical work had been done by some questionable characters. Long story short, we were post sheetrock with an overloaded, unsafe panel, blowing breakers, and random breakout boxes. It was a very difficult situation to step into. Thanks to Billy, Brandon, Zachary, and John, I now have a fully-functional home electrical system. It took a week of untangling very questionable wiring just to figure out the existing wiring. Then, room by room, Brandon and crew made sure that each run was up to code. They identified and corrected some real safety hazards such as insufficient grounding. It was too late to install a Ufer as the foundation footings had already been poured. It was a little shocking to see all the holes that had to be put all that new sheetrock. In the end it was worth it and the holes were all patched up. In the process, we electrified our appliances, heating/cooling system, added a sub-panel and an EV charger. I am very happy with how everything turned out. Thank you, Violet Ray Electric. It's great to have the lights on again!

Billy and his crew at Violet Ray Electric are great and are everything you want if you need your electrical work done right. Knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to deal with.

He showed up on time with an apprentice in tow. Both of these guys were very polite and very professional. He took the time to make sure he had the right solutions for me and explained things very well. He did a great job and charged me an amount that I feel was very fair. If I need more electrical work, I'll hire him again. If he is busy, I'll probably just wait until he isn't because it isn't easy to find great people to do work in your home.

I will acknowledge up front that one of the principals is my son. We first had Violet Ray install a new outlet on our deck and the two fellows who did the work were efficient and thorough. We then used them for two other jobs: under counter light fixture replacement and replacement of exhaust fans. In both instances one electrician completed all of the work in timely manner and made useful suggestions regarding replacement fixtures. He even corrected existing faulty switch wiring.
