Ken Franjola

Called ken to do a simple porch light installment (I’d already purchased the fixture)
He was over at my house in less than an hour (same day) and it took him no time to complete. Super nice guy, would recommend!

My tenant had an electrical emergency on New Years Eve so I looked on Unilocal and found Ken. I explained my situation and he was willing to come out the same day to evaluate the situation. After explaining to me thoroughly the problem, I promptly made an appointment for him to come back out. The job was completed on time, on budget, and exceeded all my expectations. Besides being very knowledgeable, he was very courteous and easy to work with. I will definitely use him again for all my electrical needs.

As a new home owner, I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos on home repairs and was inspired to install a new lighting kit on my own. Well as it turns out, the kit didn’t fit and YouTube can’t help me with that, so I called Ken. He answered right away and agreed to come over the next day.
Despite it being a small project, he was happy to help and was reasonably priced. He was also very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I will definitely be using him for future electrical work.

We were installing an electric vehicle charging station and needed some help making the final electrical connections. I called Ken after reading a few reviews online, and to my good fortune he was able to come over later the same morning and finish connecting everything.
While there he identified a more general problem that required the city to come and make repairs of their own. Ken followed up later to make sure everything was resolved and confirmed everything was working well.
Ken was knowledgeable, prompt, and friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again!

Ken was amazing. I called, he answered, I told him my issue and he came by within one hour. He was knowledgeable, patient, kind and friendly. He helped us tremendously and advised us on how best to deal with our issues. He also quoted us an extremely fair price and was very transparent with costs and expectations. Look no further for your electrical needs.

Ken was back recently to install a Lorex video surveillance system for us. We have an old house and he did the wiring from scratch. He figured out a way to do it very neatly so that there are no visible wires. He got it up and running without any issues and he was able to get really good angles from his camera placement. We might get some more cameras in the future and have him back to install those. Oh, also, an update from my last review, he did install that doorbell and it works great. Really relieved to have an electrician I can count on and trust.

I had some switches and lighting fixtures that haven’t worked since I moved in to my new place. Ken figured out what was wrong and fixed them quickly. He’s also a super friendly guy and gave me a fair price on the work. I would recommend Ken to anyone looking for an electrician.

Ken was great! One of our circuit breakers was not working and kept shorting the electricity in our office space. We called him right up and lucky for us he works within in the area and was able to be here within 15 min. He diagnosed the problem and was super informative, and was able to fix the short within half an hour and even fixed some minor problems with our panel. He was fast, friendly and offered a fear price for the job. Thanks Ken!

Full disclosure: I’m Celia H’s boyfriend, but Ken was so awesome I feel like even five stars isn’t enough. In addition to being quick and friendly and easily solving our problem, he took extra time to teach me how to deal with the problem we had and talk me through how to install some lighting so we wouldn’t have to call him in again. One of the best home maintenance experiences I’ve ever had… I can’t wait till we have electrical problems again! (Well, not quite.)

When what seemed like a fairly simple lighting project started to feel complicated and possibly dangerous, my boyfriend and I decided we needed to bring an electrician in. After reading a few reviews for Ken, I gave him a call and left a voicemail. He called back 30 minutes later, discussed the problem with me and said he could swing by in a few hours to take a look.
When he came by, he surpassed our expectations (which were already quite high after reading other reviews), resolving the problem quickly, walking us through what went wrong, and answering a few other random wiring questions we had. He is extremely patient, reasonably priced, and incredibly knowledgeable. We are so, so thankful to have found him and will definitely be calling him the next time we have an issue. Thanks again for your help, Ken!

Ken Franjola is an excellent electrician. I found Ken by a happy accident and he will be the ‘family electrician’ from now on.
He listens, he patiently explains, he endeavors to do the best, most price-​conscious way of doing his job. HE DOES HIS JOB!
Ken is the kind of tradesman who makes me feel comfortable having him in my house.
He consulted with another tradesman, an appliance installer, so they could both do their jobs at the same time — better for me and the most economical. I have never found an electrician who was better at communicating to his customer as well as other workers at the job.

My sister needed her main breaker box upgraded and relocated. Her house is over 100 years old and Ken had to work very closely with DWP and figure out how to accommodate DWP’s strict codes in an old house with many limitations and problems. Ken had to make many trips to her house and to the DWP to get this job done. He was very professional, very friendly and did the job at a vey fair price. My sister and I highly recommend him.

I called Ken out to troubleshoot a breaker issue and he got it figured out for me. Punctual, friendly, reasonably priced and very knowledgeable, and great communication skills to boot. Will definitely hire him again. Happy to have a new ‘go-​to’ electrician.

Ken is not only a skilled electrician with wide expertise, he is an effective and pleasant communicator. What impressed me from the start was his willingness to swing by the house to assess the job (installation of motion detectors and a new front light) and give me an estimate. He worked within my budget and time frame, and understands the concerns of first time homeowners. It also feels good to be supporting someone from the neighborhood, and not a large company with lots of subcontractors! He will be my go-​to electrician for all future jobs!

I found Ken on an Eagle Rock NextDoor. He helped me figure out why my Chevy Volt wouldn’t charge and readjusted some of the wiring on my property to make it work. It was actually a lot of detective work to figure it out since my power was testing out just fine. He kept trying things until he narrowed it down and made it work. He went above and beyond, worked at it in the rain, over the weekend, with other, bigger jobs and his family waiting in the wings. And his rate was super agreeable. Big fan of Ken, he’s a great electrician and a great guy.

Excellent service.
Showed up on time and answered all of our questions.
Service was quick, efficient, and fairly priced. Definitely would use again!

First time home buyer needed electrical run from my home to garage. I consider myself handy but this is a job I didn’t want to risk. Ken was super knowledgable, provided me with many options and prices were reasonable. We have already referred him to friends and will use him for all of our home electrical projects.

Found Ken on the Nextdoor app as well. So easy to communicate with, super flexible, highly knowledgeable, great suggestions, reasonable pricing! We had him swing by for an estimate on an exterior light install, and he recommended other simple fixes to incorporate with another project we are starting. Being from New York, he is very familiar with dealing with older buildings and crazy wiring. Dont’ think any job is too tough for him. Plan on hiring him again in the future. He makes it so easy!
