Jacob did such an excellent job! From the moment he arrived, he worked in a timely manner to fix electrical issues (garbage disposal, lighting switch issue, dishwasher). He is honest and quick in diagnosing issues and his services are priced well. We would 10/10 recommend him !!

Jacob came to assess the project I had in mind and explained to me how my idea was not going to be cost effective. He was thorough and took his time with me without charging an upfront fee. Very professional and honest. Would definitely hire in the future.

Outstanding work – knowledgeable, thorough, and proactive
After a heavy storm, one of my outdoor GFCI outlets was stuck in the orange-light/reset loop and had taken down two other outlets with it. I couldn’t tell what was broken or how they were connected. Jacob diagnosed the issue quickly and restored everything to working order.
He didn’t just stop there...he noticed another outlet was spongey and unsafe due to improper mounting and added spacers to secure it. On top of that, one of my outlets couldn’t be used at all because the in-use cover couldn’t open far enough to fit a plug (it was blocked by a railing). He sourced and installed a replacement cover so it’s now actually usable.
Everything now works perfectly and feels much more secure. He was communicative, professional, and clearly cared about doing things right, not just fast. Highly recommended.

Excellent Same-Day Service by Jacob (JR Electrical Services) for a fair price on a WEEKEND.
Jacob from JR Electrical Services did a fantastic job extending four receptacles and replacing a breaker—all completed the same day, quickly, and with great attention to detail.
He’s humble, knowledgeable, and responsive, and treated my home with respect. It’s clear he enjoys his work and takes pride in doing it right.
I highly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for reliable, honest, and skilled electrical work.

Jacob did a great job installing our Rivian EV charger and a new 50A outlet. He went above and beyond with helping us sort out inspection requirements in Austin’s ETJ and did a clean job. He also was super responsive and helped us save money by helping us with ordering breakers ahead online.
