Living through a natural disaster can be a devastating experience. Watching water pour into your home and not having any control over it is most definitely a tough thing to watch. However, if your basement or main floor is flooded with water, be careful not to jump right in without first evaluating the situation.
Fires caused by faulty electric wiring cost millions of dollars in repair costs every year. Whether it's old wiring in your home or wiring that's not up to code at your commercial location, you can't take the chance that bad wiring will cause a fire.

If you've been unfortunate and had an electrical fire, it's a good idea to have our fire damage electrician San Jose evaluate your situation and tell you what needs to be done to put your home electricity back into proper working order.Of course, it doesn't have to be faulty wiring that causes electrical fires.
Fires are devastating, no matter how big or small they are. And cleaning up after a fire can be just as devastating. If you've never had a fire, you may not realize just how much damage the smoke and soot alone can do. In addition to all the smoke and soot damage, you'll have water damage that will most certainly damage your electric wiring.

Sonny was able to come to our residence and make major changes to existing electrical work to prepare for a solar install. We then asked him to help us with the electrical in a new build to residence and the work was done complete with updates along the way and recommendations of things to think through. Then I added an additional project of wiring my house for data with a small network closet.

Sonny has been super responsive to any questions concerns or plan changes to the existing work. The quality of work is great, the ease of working with Sonny is excellent, and he's now my go to for

I've used Sonny Rios two times , for 3 different issues. All three issues had intermittent (ghost like) electrical issues that needed investigation. We didn't know if it was major or minor. Sonny came in and figured it out, fixed and tested all 3 issues. My bill was very fair. A dishonest person could have gotten me for thousands more!!

My home is a money pit that will unfortunately need more SJ Rios electrical services. Its nice to know I have an honest Electrician.

So glad that we found Sonny. We just bought an older home that needed some minor electrical work done to repair a bad outlet, add dimmers, and install a new outlet.

Sonny promptly returned my phone call, came out and took a look at what needed to be done, and then made an appointment to return and get the work done.

He was super conscientious about covering his shoes and putting down drop cloths to keep our house clean. I'm also giving him 5 stars because he is not the type of person who will come into your home and try to up-sell you on unnecessary work.

We will definitely be using him

My hero! Couldn't be happier.
Just moved into an old craftsmen that needed some TLC, new outlets, light fixtures, fans, dedicated lines to basement sump pump, etc. including new HDMI outlets customized for my 50" flat screen TV installed on a wall unit over the fireplace. Considering the existing wires is a mix of old and new, there was Lots to do!
Received recommendation and contact info from a coworker and called SJ Rios Electric. Sonny came right over and was able to provide a detailed estimate, and schedule the work within a few days. On the schedule date, Sonny was on time and

The level of service required to succeed in the Yelp economy is unfairly high, but Sonny clears the bar no sweat.

We called him during the Super Bowl, and he called us right back when the game was over. He was willing to come over on Sunday evening. He was prompt and extremely professional. His prices are competitive.

When it turned out the motherboard on the heater had fritzed out, he had a contact who could also come the same day and bring a new part.

I chose Sonny because of the positive reviews concerning his reasonable prices, availability, and friendly attitude. We had an emergency and Sonny was able to help put my mind at ease, and did his best to come ASAP. Fast response time & reasonable pricing.

Sonny was able to assess our electrical issues quickly and efficiently. He was on time and called when he was on his way. He even I had a switch that only needed to be release and Sonny was honest with me and did not charge me extra.

If you're looking for a truly professional electrician, look no further. SJ Rios is the place to call: 408-292-6798.

I had a whole snarl of wires in my 1930's house, a real tangle of electrical mayhem that had mounted up over the years and throughout many different ownerships. The old breaker box was at the breaking point. Seriously. Sonny put order to the mess. I can sleep better at night now knowing that the work has been done properly. He knows what he's doing, is neat 'n clean (that counts for his work as well) and is very efficient.

Why would I use anyone else?!!

Mr. Rios has just completed two days of work on our place.
Day 1 was removing old ceiling fan/light assemblies that had been installed - not up to code - by the previous owner. Mr. Rios got us on track with new installs that are up to code.
Day 2 was replacing a 1960s breaker box with something that now meets our current demands with room to grow, as needed.
Mr. Rios has been our go-to guy for electrical work for several years and has been instrumental in correcting many issues left by a poor DIY former owner.
We look forward to many pleasant years in the house.

My first experience with Electrician, and it was such a joy to work with Sonny!! He showed his professional in many ways:

- Came right on time
- My issue is a bit complicated and he knows exactly what to do during the troubleshooting, quickly fixed the problem and cleaned up everything after the job was done
- Very reasonable price compare to other Electricians in the area
- I made a mistake when i put the panel back that caused another issue, and he came back after working hours and and fixed that for FREE!!

I wish I could give 6 stars!

I called SJ Rios Electric (they were referred by our neighbor) because we moved into a home where some of the light switches seemed to do absolutely nothing. Not sure how the damn building passed city inspection but something was terribly wrong. In addition, some of our lights would randomly flicker or just go out without explanation. Changing the bulbs didn't work. Then sometimes the lights would randomly come back on. Ridiculous!

Sonny came out and inspected the problem. He gave us a reasonable quote and said that he could get the job done the following week because he was working on a

Sonny is hands down the BEST electrician that I have come across!!! Very professional and on time. My mom needed some electrical work done on her home and I needed someone that would take their time and do the job right.

Thank you again Sonny for your great work.

We are smack dab in the middle of having a new roof installed... and this morning at 7am we spoke with the guys putting a new roof on our home (since it was raining, it was a urgent call) ...seems that there was a light fixture in the way of a sun tunnel we were hoping to have them install.

The roofers couldn't move it, and said we'd need a licensed electrician. Where would we find an electrician so quickly???
My husband searched "electrician" in on our community bulletin board. He found Sonny and called him a few minutes before 8am

I'm happy to say Sonny just finished
