As a BOD member for the HOA, I had previous experience with Mario Castillo electric when we needed to do an upgrade to the electrcial panel at our home where they did an exceptional job. This time I was working with their commercial division and the excellence of service was no different. The communication, responsiveness and quality of work was excellent. There was one minor issue after hours and they had a service technician onsite within an hour. They worked very well coordinating with the individual tenants in each unit to gain access when needed. Their quote for this project was also competitive, and job was brought in on budget with no extra "surprises". I highly recommend this company for your electrical needs, big or small. Our HOA has picked Mario Castillo as the electrical vendor of choice for any work needed and we are looking into an ongoing maintenance contract with them as well.

Pricing is quite high compared to other quotes I received but very transparent and worth it. Took one star because of poor communication and lateness. They advertise working Saturdays and do some of the crews but according to their office, that is all a mistake and they only work M-F 9-4. That plus the crews showing up 2.5h late each time meant that I had to take more time off than anticipated for them to complete the work. But now I know and I will absolutely use them again.

So I bought a new ceiling fan and realized the installation included going in my rafters to mount it. At that point, I knew it was above my pay grade.

Casey and Joseph showed up on time and knew exactly what to do. I was prepared with drop clothes and a ladder for them. After one of them went in my rafters to set up the mounting kit, they installed my new fan and it works great with plenty of light. Casey and Joseph were respectful and knowledgeable. Working with Shane was a pleasure and now I have him giving me an estimate on converting Fluorescent Lights to Can Lights.

I'm adding to my review from 13 years ago. I'm long since retired from contracting, so I called…read morethese folks that I've worked with many times over the years to do some work at my own home. I know they are not the least expensive out there. I was greeted on the phone by people I don't know so of course they don't know me and all the recommendations I have offered for AAA over the years. I was told it would take a week and a half to get a quote but if I could give them some details on the phone they could put me into a price range. So being a retired contractor I gave some specifics that I knew would put the work into perspective. The lady gave me a figure that was the highest by 400 to 700 over my highest proposal so far, or about 40% more than the average quote. This is in the thousands, not hundreds, to be clear. Just an update for my personal experience today, FYI.

Not only is Alex the best electrician in town by a mile, he's an excellent person…read more HE SAVED MY HOUSE We had electrical surges throughout our house. I had hired him several times previously (all fantastic experiences) and so, although he didn't have the time, he helped me troubleshoot it. He quickly realized that the amount of power coming in to my house was no longer under control and instructed me what to do. When SCE came, the guy said that if it wasn't for Alex, my house could have burned down - or at minimum all my appliances would have burned out if it wasn't for him. Alex called ME several times to make sure we were OK afterward. He asked for NOTHING in return. (I didn't accept those terms.) I don't have enough words to thank him. THIS is the guy you want in your corner.

The other places had more services included in their price too. My recommendation to anyone quote shopping for major electrical work, contact at least 2-3 other places and you'll see the price/scope of work differences as well. Alex was the estimator and I was expecting good things based on past reviews and didn't receive that at all. Not sure if it was because I told you this was my first home but the dishonesty in your pricing needs to be reassessed. With internet access and electrician feedback it's easy to tell that your quote was ridiculous. The suggested approach to the work wasn't great either, my home definitely doesn't need a sub panel in the house when I'm getting a main panel upgrade. The number of dedicated circuits recommended by you compared to general recommendations I've heard didn't match nor made sense with the high price you charged. 29-33k for 12 circuits and a main panel upgrade with an unneeded sub panel in the home to "save on wires used"? Really? The only positive thing I have to say is your customer service rep was kind.

This is that unicorn you're looking for but never thought existed. I found Ian when I had what I thought was a refrigerator issue which turned out to be an electrical issue that burned the motherboard of my Sub Zero. I noticed immediately that unlike other companies, Ian spoke to me like I was a referral from a personal friend. He was helping to troubleshoot on the phone and text BEFORE charging an arm and a leg. And only after he had an idea of what the possible issues could be. An when two of his team ( his very competent sons obviously trained by Ian) came, they were super respectful and efficient in identifying the issue at the break panel and resolving it in the most efficient way. And they uncovered the issues was with the main electrical coming from SCE so Ian reminded me that because the issue was caused by them , that I can file a claim to get reimbursed. These guys solve problems like they would want others to solve it for their mom, sister, etc. And I am 100% certain They fixed the issue for no less than half of what another company would charge. After that I had a couple of smaller projects at our rental property : 1) replacing all the under cabinet lights in the kitchen - he sent me the link to the lights to get on Amazon so he wouldn't have to upcharge me for them and his price was again nearly half of what another company quoted 2) Converted all 6 recessed ceiling lights from some old Pre-code version to current LED. Now I was quoted over $1,000 for this by another company and they also said they had to cut into the ceiling and then patch to repair that. So we delayed doing this work for months until all but one light was still working but when the guys from South Bay Electric came they geniusly figured out that based on the type of box and connectors of the current lights, they could safely and to code use parts from a new system to do the conversion rather than replacing the entire system. If you appreciate tradespeople who are students of their art, who get a kick out of solving problems safely, efficiently and effectively, these are the folks you want to have your back. You can hear it in their voices, feel it in their attitude and witness it in their mastery of their skill. And during their lunch break they shared how they often try to help people who call solve their own issues if possible. They will give them instructions and tell them what parts to get because they feel bad charging people for work they could have done themselves. Recently, we called Ian to request his help with some repair work at my late father in law's house. Some lights and outlets weren't working and he provided a range of potential solutions to solving the problem and included implications as it relates to the involvement of the city. Equipped with full information we were able to determine the successful course of action. In this case - get this, the bill came in at 1/2 the price Ian quoted. Who does that? Anyways, all I know is that Ian and his boys are on my speed dial and I am a loyal customer for life!

Our garage light was flickering so badly it resembled a seizure trigger. I didn't know who to call,…read moreso I searched Yelp and found Ian Marsh of South Bay Electric. There were a series of excellent reviews. I sent hima a message and he got back to me right away. When we spoke, Ian himself walked me through the troubleshooting over the phone. He suggested it could be a bad bulb connection (take it out and clean the contacts) or an issue with the wall switch. Sure enough, it turned out to be our dimmer switch -- it just couldn't hold the charge properly and was causing the constant flickering. What really stands out is that Ian could have easily scheduled a service call and charged me a couple hundred bucks to come out. Instead, he gave me the exact fix for free and saved me the hassle and expense. In a world where so many companies push for paid visits, this level of honesty and helpfulness is rare and genuinely appreciated. While it cost me nothing, it cost him his time.I As a result, I promised Ian I'd write a glowing review, and here it is. If you're in the South Bay and need an electrician you can actually trust, call Ian Marsh South Bay Electric. Highly recommend! Rick
