About Licata Electric Inc.

Master Licensed C-10 Electrical Contractor and former mechanic. I've been traveling for a few years for work so that's explains why there's not many reviews right now, but I'm back here in sunny San Diego and want YOUR business! I can troubleshoot any electrical issues you might be having as well as handle any small and large type projects on the residential or commercial space. Panel upgrades, remodels, recessed lighting, solar, car chargers, battery back-up and pretty much anything that has to do with electrical. I’ll even do ceiling fans and tv mounting. You can ************************** for a speedy and direct response. ALWAYS will provide you with a fair price with a full explanation of any possible complications that could arise from the type of project you want completed. Hope to hear from you soon!

The Carriage light near my Garage had become loose. James from Licata Electric arrived early and properly tightened it. Plus, sealed the base against the brickwork. I'll reach out to Licata Electric for future electrical needs.

Great work hanging up my two fans. Friendly, professional and easy to work with. Great communications throughout. Will definitely hire again.

Thumbtack customerAug 2026

I am very satisfied with how the hanging lamp from a vaulted ceiling turn out. I was concerned about the chain and the electrical cord that are attached to the lamp and extends down closer to a dining room table. However, the cord is nicely threaded through the chain and unnoticeable. Everything about the lamp looks better than I expected. In fact, I love it, thanks to fine workmanship!

Will hire again. High quality work, responsive, on-time, super friendly.

Thumbtack customerApr 2026

Was very responsive and Jacob was so sweet and gave us advice about how to fix our issue if it occurs again. Very knowledgeable! Will be using them again if any other issues arise.

Thumbtack customerMar 2026

Was originally impressed by how quickly they responded. However, they setup a time to come by but never showed up. No call/text, just never came by. I assume they're time is important so at the very least they need to consider that mine is as well.

Thumbtack customerFeb 2026

I had a great experience with Licata installing three new bathroom vanity light fixtures. I was able to get an appointment two days after reaching out. I really appreciated getting updates on the day of letting me know what time they’d arrive. The installer was very professional, quick and left everything neat and clean. Will definitely hire them again for future projects!

Thumbtack customerFeb 2026

Had a great experience with Licata. I got a Killer Deal. Hoping to keep it going and replace a lot of aging fixtures.

Thumbtack customerFeb 2026

Fixed my problem quickly and efficiently. Would definitely hire him again!

Tessa H.Dec 2025

We got a few quotes and went with Licata. I’m glad we did as the bathroom fan replacement turned out to be more complicated than anticipated. The two gents that came out to our house were great, and I have a feeling some of the other contractors who quoted slightly lower would have ended up charging an arm and a leg when all was said and done. I would definitely use Licata again in the future.

James came out to give an estimate for replacing 3 sconces and a video doorbell. He also tested an outlet for me (for free), and we talked about upgrading my panel and possibly adding another 240v outlet. I really appreciated his advice. His workers, that came later same day, were super friendly and efficient. I enjoyed chatting with them and they did a great job and cleaned up afterward. The price was very reasonable. This is something I really appreciate because I had someone recently charge me $750 for a 30-minute plumbing job. Ack! Lesson learned: Don't go with big companies that advertise a lot and have fancy trucks.

They did a good job for relocating my EV charger and installing calling lights

Adrianna A.Apr 2025

Great experience and highly recommend! Thank you so much for the quick and thorough help.

Brittany D.Jan 2024

Wonderful experience with James and his crew. Professional, punctual, and thoughtful. We have a newborn and they were contentious of her nap time and hung a chandelier as quietly as possible. Can't say enough good things about these guys.

Shawn C.Dec 2023

James and his crew were great and I will definitely use them in the future if I have anything else. Replaced all lights, switches and outlets in our condo. Added 3 fans.

Toni W.Sep 2023

We had a great experience with the Licata crew when we needed a chandelier installed and adjacent can lights turned off. They were on time, listened well, came up with a great solution, were fast, and cleaned up. The price was right too! Recommend them highly!

Joseph B.Nov 2022

Great Job!! Fast and Cleaned up and works just like we needed AAAAA+++++

Sandra B.Apr 2022

James was both professional and pleasant to work with. He worked with us to complete our project under a tight schedule. Will definitely hire him again.

Joyce C.Mar 2022

James did an excellent job converting old style fluorescent fixtures to recessed lighting in my primary bathroom. He responded quickly to my request on Thumbtack and scheduled the project within a few days. He was very respectful of my property and cleaned up beautifully! I would certainly hire him again for any other projects I have.

Deirdre O.Feb 2022

Excellent work, timely courteous and offered different ways to reduce cost of project proactively. Highly recommended!
