I was going to call Michael directly, but I know how busy things can get, so I wanted to share my experience here. Jose recently completed a job for us, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service. He was professional, clean, and extremely organized throughout the entire process. What really stood out was his humility and problem-solving ability, he had to create a solution on the spot and handled it seamlessly without making it a big deal. That kind of attitude speaks volumes. Jose is a great representative of the company and clearly takes pride in his work. I truly appreciate the quality of service and the professionalism shown from start to finish. Highly recommend Lightning Bay Electric!

Michael at Lightning Bay Electric did a great job from initial consultation to work completion. The whole team was professional, took their time, and handled multiple different jobs on the same day. The work is outstanding and the price more than fair. Will be using again.

Exceptional work. The techs were amazing. Diligent, polite, offered advice and cleaned up when they were done. The kitchen and dining room lights look spectacular. The lanai fans perfectly installed. Finally the under cabinet lighting was the frosting on the cake, controlled remotely and multiple lighting variations. It looks fantastic in the evening. Thank you Lightning Bay Electric for a first class experience from start to finish.

Mike helped me with inspection repairs for the selling of my house. Upon discovering improperly installed equipment still under warranty, he talked me through why it was wrong and how to get it replaced. His work was done quickly and with expertise. He is honest, knowledgeable, and fair. I highly recommend Mike and Lightning Bay Electric for any electrical needs.
