Bene Electric 6835 Corte Salcedo, Pleasanton, CA 94566

"We are very happy with the work done by Bene Electric. We had three bids before selecting an electrician. We rejected one bid as unreasonably high, and the remaining two were almost identical. We selected Bene Electric because we liked Cole Bene. Cole inspected our house and was curious about how things worked. His curiosity led us to tell him about a stairwell light that was supposed to be three-way but only worked as two-way. We had not thought about fixing it but Cole ended up fixing it. This is the work that we had done: 1) Install new and larger electric panel 2) Install wiring and LED lights for foyer (3), pantry (1), tv room (4), hallway (2), master bedroom (4), closet (2). Installing the tv room lights including replacing a 3-gang switch panel with a 4-gang panel which was pretty complicated. 3) Install new electric outlet in bathroom 4) Install new electric outlet in tv room (on ceiling) 5) Move insecure electric outlet in tv room 6) Fix 3 way switches for stairwell light 7) Fish a dvd cable from ceiling through attic and wall to outlet Everything works well and looks good. We will definitely want to use Bene Electric when any electrical work is needed."

"Thank you very much Mr. Bene! I was successful in resetting the GFCI plug in the garage. The reset button popped out, so I just pushed it back in according to the instructions on the GFCI plug. The power is all back in both bathrooms and the outside patio. You are absolutely right, they are the GFI loop. I forgot I used the reset button in the garage to bring the bathroom power back a very long time (decades?) ago. It’s disappointing that the two young electricians from the HVAC company didn’t know anything about the GFCI plug. The second electrician took 5 hours to diagnose the problem and made a wrong assumption that an active wire in the master bathroom outlet was cut by the first electrician and it dropped inside the wall. The second electrician suggested cutting open my master bathroom wall to look for the assumed cut wire behind the wall, drilling a big hole in the stud next to a light switch to junction power to the adjacent outlet, or fishing a wire and junction power from the light switch up to the attic, then coming back down to the master bathroom outlet that lost power. He said he only repairs drywall after it has been cut, but he doesn’t do wall texturing and painting when I have the drywall compound, knockdown texture spray, matching paint and supplies. He said it would take him a whole new day to do the wiring. I refused to have my wall cut open or stud drilled with a big hole when his diagnosis was based on an assumption. I felt something was not right so I called in the pro by emailing you for your help. Mr. Bene, you have just saved me from nightmare suggestions by inexperienced electricians. I will stay away from journeyman electricians without their boss on-site from now on. I am very grateful for your help, advice and guidance. I respect that you are a sincere, helpful, professional and exceptionally experienced licensed electrical contractor. I would highly recommend you to anyone. I will keep your contact information handy for my next electrical projects - repairing non-working outlets, updating old outlets, upgrading the main panel, installing new lighting, etc. Thank you so much again!"

"I had a very awesome experience with Cole. I called and left a message, then he promptly responded. I explained the problem we were having with certain sockets and he was very knowledgeable about our predicament. Cole walked me through possible solutions over the phone that might help and he was right! He saved us some money and a service visit to our house. Cole is honest, courteous and helpful - we highly recommend his business!"

"Cole performed the electrical installation for our new spa, and we couldn't be happier. It was all very cleanly done, and he was very up front and clear about costs. He also explained every little change he was going to make at length. I would highly recommend him for your electrical needs."

"Cole Bene is the epitome of professionalism and customer service. I did a Google search and chose Bene Electric based upon other customer reviews, so I gave Cole a call to replace my kitchen nook light. Cole was at my house within one hour. His work is fast, clean and detailed oriented. Not only did Cole remove my old light fixture and replace it with a new one, he gave me tips on on how to change my canned recessed lighting to LED canned lighting and then he walked my property to give me best advise on adding additional landscape lighting. A great experience all the way around!"
