I had an excellent experience with Zachary
Smith, the electrician from Albritton Services. From the moment he arrived, Zach was professional, courteous, and clearly knew his craft inside and out. His knowledge base is impressive—he took the time to explain the issue in a way that was easy to understand, walked through the options, and answered every question with confidence and clarity.
What really stood out was his attention to detail and pride in his work. He was efficient, thorough, and left everything clean and organized when the job was done. It’s refreshing to work with someone who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely professional and trustworthy. I would absolutely recommend Zach to anyone needing electrical work and wouldn’t hesitate to ask for him again.
TLDR: Thanks to Andruw, Angel, Isaac, David B, Josh F (plumber), Koi (HVAC), the others that came by for electrical work when the others needed support on the job, dispatch, et al!
In mid-November we called on Albritten for our our HVAC (thanks, Koi!), electrical (thanks Andruw, Angel, Isaac, and David), and plumbing inspections as we were preparing to purchase an older manufactured home for my mother, which we could see without an inspection that there was a bit of defered maintenance. Completely understandable considering that there was a very high liklihood the previous owner was on a fixed income.
Andruw and Angel assisted with inspecitions were thourough and presented concerns with electrical, as all but three outlets and switches were original, some paitnted over and unsalvagable with with 6 layers of paint, not to mention nearly 40 years old. Andruw led the outlet and switch change out, and returned at a later date when we found that there were a couple outlets that were missed. There were two others that also assisted, and unfortunately, I do not have their picture notifications to call out their names specifically.
Additionally, there was a safety risk identified with the electrical pedistal and panel. As this requires state permit approval, the work was completed at the end of January into early February, due to the complexity of the project and the need for PG&E to shut off power. We also added lights and an outlet to a shed which had none. The guys patched and repainted (using our paint to ensure colormatch, and it was like nothing ever happened.
Angel and Andruw were very communicative, patient, and understanding throughout the process. We are grateful that this was taken care of as soon as possible.
On the day the power went out, my mom said that the bottom of the toliet had been leaking for a while and was compaining that she had to keep cleaning it up. I figured it was a wax ring that needed replacing which is totally normal. I called Albritten, said that there was no power to verify if that was going to be a conern for the plumber. Thankfully Josh came by in about an hour. He plunged out the water instead of using a shopvac, he confirmed it was the wax ring, and it was a quick fix.
Though people may say that going to a handyman instead of Albritten is "cheaper," I know we get what we pay for in service and accountability. If something isn't right, they're going to come back and not charge you for it.
For those skimming through the reviews, be an educated and knowledgeable consumer, have an idea of what you want or have a desired outcome, your budget, and they are more than happy to discuss options. There isn't any pressure to do anything. The team lays out options, and sometimes there is only three options, (1) plan A , (2) wait until funds are available, or (3) do nothing with them and move on to an option within your budget.
