 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had SB Electric install an EV charging station at my home, and the experience was excellent. Brandon was the technician who handled the job — professional, knowledgeable, and efficient from start to finish. He explained everything clearly and made sure the installation was done right. What really stood out was the price. SB Electric offered me a very competitive and fair quote that was noticeably better than others I received. Highly recommend them if you’re looking to get an EV charger installed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic, professional work installing EV charger.  Competitive bid, which he gave in person, (whereas other electricians were asking for photos and said price could change when they got there.  No thanks).  Great job from SB.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience from start to finish! I hired him to install two new exterior wall sconces on either side of my garage, and the work turned out fantastic. He was professional, friendly, showed up on time, and took the time to make sure everything was installed properly and looked clean and symmetrical.
