Gubrud’s Electrical Contracting

Jay and his crew are very dependable, honest and he explains everything in detail. Being a General Contractor for 36 years, I have seen it all. Jay has extensive knowledge of both commercial and residential electrical codes and requirements. I have no hesitation recommending him to anyone. Does neat, clean work, is fast, and prices are very fair.

With our electrician of 30 years retiring it was time to go by the recommendations of our design friends and ask Gubrud’s for help. We had a 32 year old home with an out dated Leviton system that we could no longer get parts for. Gubrud’s came in with 3 options for style of lighting and price we could choose from that went with our home.
The Leviton system was replaced with an «Aspire» system for timed lighting that is incredibly user friendly.
From there we were able to improve our ceiling lighting throughout a 5000 square foot house with hidden wires in walls, new ac/​dc control pads, painted to match the existing wall lighting, Recessed keyboard lighting, and dimmers for specific ceiling areas. We look forward to 2015 and replacing more lights with LED and tackling the outdoor lights!

I found Jay to be a fine electrician, but I had a billing dispute with him when a month after the job he said that he found records of work that he had not billed for.
I found that unprofessional, especially since I never quibbled about any bills he presented.
I suspect that after downsizing, his work would be excellent since he would not have to depend upon others.

The best electricians I’ve worked with. Resourceful, knowledgeable, and able to get things done in situations that require creativity, experience, and a sense of what «looks right.» My first choice in electricians.

Jay and his staff are incredible. Jay has both commercial and residential experience. He provided a cost effective, but highly professional service. He is fair, reasonable and one of the best contractors I’ve ever dealt with. I highly recommend this business!

When we lived in the Sacramento area, we use Gubrud’s Electrical Contracting for re-​wiring our home. They are very detailed oriented and work efficiently. No mess to clean up after them like so many other contractors. Would hire again in a heartbeat.

Jay is a wonderful electrician — first and foremost his prices are very fair and the workmanship is exceptional. I have a home built in 1921 and the home had knob and tube electrical wiring which had been covered by insulation. The home inspector never noticed it. I had been having the lights above the fireplace flicker and then go out and than a few days later come back on — I had two other electricians look at the lights and they said there was nothing wrong — just replace the bulb — which did not solve the problem. I then hired Jay — he immediately went into the attic and discovered that I had knob and tube wiring which had been spliced into and was covered with insulation and overheating causing the problem. The lights flickering was the least of the problem — this could have caused a house fire. I had Jay replace the electrical completely and he did such a great job that I had him add canned lights to both bedrooms, add outside fixtures and outlets. When I had my garage converted into a guest house — Jay was the person I had do the electrical as well. He is amazing, Paul his second in command is just as amazing. They are responsive, professional, and really care about the homeowner. I can’t say enough about them. I have recommended them to everyone I know and those that have used them — have the same experience that I did.

If you’re looking for Electrician company, don’t look any where else. I had a emergency with my electrical panel, it was burning, and got extremely hot. Knowing that my panel was old and out dated, I wasn’t expecting this. I made the call and it was the right call. Very friendly, polite, and respectful. Then the next day Jay and Austin came out, and Austin got right to work. They found the problem, Jay gave me a quote and it was a respectful price. I didn’t hesitate to have them start the job, because I knew that these guys were honest and good people. They kept me up to date with everything, the work they did was clean, detailed, and done right. I’m glad to know that I have a local Electrical company that I can trust and depend on for future work.

Jay and his team were amazing. Quick response to phone calls and messages left. He came out and quoted me a very reasonable price on short notice and was professional the entire time. I actually had two electricians come out to quote my job and even though Jay Gubrud’s quote was a little higher than the other guy’s quote, I could tell from the way he was describing things that he was MUCH more knowledgeable on the subject. If I would have gone with the cheapest, I’m sure I would have spent probably 600 – 700 later having someone else come out and fix it after seeing all of the work that Jay put into doing this job correctly.
Jay is amazing. Give him a call!

Called this company and spoke with the owner. Gave him my problem with my electrical over the phone and he diagonosis it without even being here. He stated he was booked for the week and than sent me to another company that would do the same job. I needed the work done right away. Called his suggestion, they came out, gave the same diagnosis and Mr. Gubred’s and issue was fixed on the spot. Yes I would use both companies because they were honest and they did not try to upsell you on junk.

We’ve used Gubrud’s several times for home and rentals. Jerry had the opportunity to hard sell us a lot of stuff we didn’t really need. Instead he helped us find used parts, saved us lots of money, and everything worked just fine. Did a good job on both large and small projects. We have him on speed dial.
