We had a great experience working with Jeremy and Dynamic Contractors and would absolutely recommend him! We had talked to and vetted several local contractors for our kitchen remodel, but we ultimately went with Jeremy because of his passion and energy for our project. He was genuinely excited about what we were trying to create, and that really stood out to us. What started as a kitchen remodel grew into a much larger project, including new flooring, rewiring throughout the house, and installation of a French drain. Jeremy was an excellent communicator every step of the way. He worked seamlessly with both his own subcontractors and the tradespeople we brought into the project, and he was always willing to take on additional work as our plans evolved. Timing was especially important for us because we were moving from Santa Cruz to our new home in Monterey while all of this was happening. Jeremy was great about giving us realistic timelines, keeping everyone coordinated, and helping us navigate all the moving pieces. And,..there were a lot of them! We’ve already recommended Dynamic Contractors to friends and would gladly recommend them to anyone in the Bay Area. We’re really grateful to Jeremy for all of his hard workand dedication. He worked incredibly hard and helped us turn our house into the home we had envisioned. Sharing a few before-and-after photos of our kitchen below — one of the many projects Jeremy helped us bring to life.

Expert Main Panel Upgrades in Santa Cruz County, CA
Main panel upgrades are one of the most common electrical jobs we handle at Dynamic Contractors across Santa Cruz County. Many homes here were built between the 1950s and 1980s and still run on original 100-amp panels. Those panels were sized for the appliance loads of that era, not for today's EV chargers, heat pump systems, and smart appliances. When your panel can't keep up, you get tripped breakers, flickering lights, and real fire risk. We start every job with a load assessment to find out exactly what your home needs. Then we handle the full scope: removing the old panel, installing the new one, and coordinating with the county for inspection. Santa Cruz County's coastal environment also means panels can show corrosion faster than inland areas, so we inspect for that during every assessment. If your panel is showing warning signs, call Dynamic Contractors to schedule an evaluation.
