Where to start....
These guys shouldn't be in business.
They are fraudsters. NIGHTMARE company.
Do NOT call these guys.
We hired them to remove some old electrical from a fannie mae property we bought as is, basically a demo job.
They made many promises and didn't deliver anything.
The whole job from start to finish was a lot of work on my end/ there were several permits to get and inspections to schedule.
In order to get the first permit, they in a RUSH made me sign a "price list" and didn't even give me an estimate.
The timeline was of utmost importance and they pretended like they were going to make it happen.
However at the end of the day there came the EXCUSES, we ended up having to go to city hall and pay for not one but two permits.
We had to schedule the inspections, you name it. They demo'd the electric thats about it.
They sent the bill (that was $1,000.00 over the price list I signed) / 2 days later it was 30 days over due/ a week later they put a LIEN on my property (saying the bill was 75 days past due)
My title has a cloud - tried to call to pay the bill and the office/ owner hangs up on you and acts like child, they called us offensive names, they said they were going to force us to sell our house.
Lawsuit to follow.
Do yourself a favor -- Do NOT call these guys.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - John R.Gardnerville, NV02Jul 25, 2023
If only all of our local contractors were as responsive as Eric, the owner of Lakeview Electric. Eric responded quickly and provided a simple solution for my project supported by a sketch and schematic. He also delivered on a promise to complete the project ASAP. His crew arrived on time and, explained every detail of the project and completed it per plan and definitely to my satisfaction. The electricians were skillful, personable and very professional.
As an adjunct, I was equally impressed with the preparation and organization of the material and tools needed for this project. There were none of the usual trips back and forth to the truck, or, worse, to Home Depot to find tools and piece parts. Everything was staged within easy reach before they began the project.
Based on my experience, I highly recommend Lakeview Electric.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Laurie G.Carson City, NV01Apr 5, 2023
I had Lakeview Electric come out and they changed a light on my ceiling in my kitchen and a light over my sink. I was charged 667.99 for that work.
However because it's their policy is to send two workers to each job you are
charged for both workers even though one does the job. The owners son did the work and the other gentlemen watched him. They charged me 287.50 for one worker and 205.00 for the second one. I spoke to the owner who was very unreasonable and said that I thought I was being overcharged because
the second worker wasn't needed. He said that is how he runs his business and that's the way it is. I will never use this company again. I advise others to be prepared to be charged extra for the second worker. This company makes a profit by taking advantage of it's customers. Beware of this company!!!!!!!!!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kara Y.San Francisco, CA439276Sep 10, 2022Updated review
I should add that two electricians came out and charged over $400 to tell me that the issues wasn't with the GFI breaker but that the hot tub kept getting wet. My hot tub continued to intermittently have issues over the past few months without any usage. I called another electrician to come out and they told me that the breaker was faulty. I just had the breaker replaced and it fixed the problem.
The original breaker and install came from Lakeview Electric.Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Kara,
You called us to come and look at your Hot Tub that was not working, and the GFI Breaker just keep tripping. I asked you if the control panel got wet and you told me "No it did Not". So I sent 2 of my guys up there to look at your Hot Tub and the Power. Upon arriving at your house your husband informed my electrician that you guys left the hose in the Hot Tub and forgot about it and it had overflowed the whole back yard. So you didn't say that when you called but you knew it got flooded and wet. We did respond and checked everything out and test the GFI Disconnect with the Hot Tub not connected and everything to do with the power was fine.
As for your Invoice, which you did not accurately state in your Review of Lakeview Electric. Your total was $414.26, You were charged for 2 hrs of time which came to $367.00 and you where charged $47.26 for gas. So if I could upload the Invoice I would so everyone could see how untruthful you are as a customer. And good luck finding another Company that will do work for nothing.
EricJun 23, 2022Previous reviewIf you're in South Lake Tahoe - maybe look elsewhere. There is a 50 min commute at $180/hr each way and $100 gas surcharge. You're looking at $400 before they do any work. There's a 1 hour minimum as well so you're expecting $580 minimum cost. I wasn't aware that we would get charged for this drive before booking....
Otherwise, Vince was great to work with and Eric was very responsive. - Jocelyn S.Westwood, CA203Feb 27, 2023
Do not use this company. I kept track of their hours that they worked in my home. I was charged excessive travel time for the 21.9 miles from their shop to my home. One of the days was 2 hours another 1 1/2. I drove it myself in under 30 minutes. For four partial days I was charged $969.05 for time that they were not actually on site. I contacted the owner Eric and offered to pay for the job and 30 minutes travel time for 2 workers for the four days. He told me to pay the balance due including $969.05 in travel time or I would incur late fees and he would send my account to collections for the balance due. Beware!

Eric the owner from Lakeview Electric is super responsive with quote and updates even over the weekend. My job was to replace existing 200A panel with new panel with more breaker slots. Add a NEMA 14-50 outlet for EV charging. Add two 240V/30A and four 120V/20A lines with outlets one floor down and 80' away from the panel. He was able to get a two person crew to start and finish my job within a week of initial request. The two men crew was very professional and did their work in about 9hrs of time. They review the overall job with me prior to starting the work. They also consulted me multiple time on items that might have impact on the aesthetics of the final outcome. This is much appreciated.

I am very satisfied with the service provided and how quick they were able to come and finish the job. I was having issues with some kitchen lighting and some outdoor plugs, they were able to come the next day and resolved all my issues. I highly recommend this company.

I had Eric and his team from Lakeview electric replace the electrical panel at my house and install an electrical conduit for my new hot tub. They were punctual, very friendly and did an excellent and professional job. They will now be my electricians for any future issues. Additionally, I was having an issue with my Awing in my RV and I called Eric to see if he would take a look. Obviously, this is not something they usually do and I wasn't really sure what he would say. Much to my surprise, Eric and his son came by and took a look at it. He showed up the next day with his son and they were able to diagnose and fix the problem and didn't charge me which I thought was extremely nice. I highly recommend that you give them a call for your electrical needs.

Eric & his son delivered all they contracted for and more. Real communication, real problem solving skills, and overall job well done. They helped us open our business on time!
Currently we our having Lakeview electric install our whole home generator. Highly recommendedHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aliesa P.Gardnerville, NV053Feb 10, 2021
Eric & his team were a life saver! We had electrical issues needing immediate attention at one of the vacation homes we manage. He was quick to respond and rescheduled other appointments to be able to make it to Tahoe to help us out!
Once done, he gave us a detailed report with options on what to do as well as photos from his visit.
Would highly recommend!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
