Steven Gratigny Electric earns a perfect 5.0 across eight Google reviews, and the pattern that jumps out is responsiveness—one homeowner mentions a callback within minutes for a circuit issue, another got an email reply in hours. That kind of availability matters when you're standing in front of a dead panel or planning an EV charger install. The work itself spans both everyday fixes (GFCI outlets, power surges, outdoor lighting) and bigger jobs like 100-to-200-amp panel upgrades, with multiple reviewers praising Steven's willingness to handle permit pulls and add-on tasks without fuss.
The project photos show he's keeping pace with Santa Barbara's shift toward electrification—EV chargers, smart switches, transfer switches for backup power—alongside the bread-and-butter safety gear like smoke alarms and surge protection. One review specifically notes competitive pricing that didn't creep up during the job, and another calls out the cleanup afterward, which sounds minor until you've had an electrician leave drywall dust everywhere.
With an Ocean View Avenue address and clients stretching into Ventura, Steven Gratigny Electric reads like a solid one-person or small-crew operation that answers the phone, shows up when promised, and doesn't oversell. The evidence is thin on large commercial work, but for residential electrical—from troubleshooting a tripped breaker to wiring a new subpanel—the track record here is consistent and reliable.
