Nelson is fantastic! He offered a free in-person consultation and took the time to recommend the most cost-effective solution - even though it meant no on-site work was needed. His professionalism and transparency really stood out. I’ll definitely turn to him again for any future electrical work or advice.

Professional, detail oriented and transparent pricing. We were very lucky to find Aptitude Electrical to help with the outlet repairs request by our incoming tenant. Nelson from Aptitude provided the quote quickly with items listed out clearly based on the photos I shared, along with suggestions for improvement. He was able to come on the following day and fixed all the issues we had. He was very courteous during the service appointment and took time to do things correctly. We will definitely hire Aptitude Electrical again for our next electrical project.

Bryan did a great job installing recessed lighting in my living room. He was very professional and competent. I will definitely be using him for future work.
A special shout out to Bryan of Aptitude Electrical. I had some lightsinstalled and both him and his brother did an outstanding job of the project. They needed to touch up paint as well. They are super detailed, very professional, affordable and always on time. You can reach them at 408 762 8840. They travel everywhere in the Bay Area for work. They are for sure the best experience I have had.
