This review is about a year overdue!!! Big shout out to this business for being helpful and in constant communication with me. We had just moved to Marina (March 2021) and we turned to Yelp for some research on who we could call. We had called several businesses but none were as quick to respond as J Rivas Electrical. I needed some outlets taken care of BUT when Javier arrived I realized there were a few more items I was hoping to add on to the list. His great attitude and attention to detail definitely helped resolve the issues I needed fixed. I will definitely call him again for any other electrical needs. read more

I contacted them about a circuit that went dead in the house, and also asked to add GFCI outlets in our house that was built in the 70s before GFCI was a thing.

The electricity went out to my bathroom after turning the vanity light on. I submitted a request for an electrician and Javier was responsive and able to fit me in quickly.

He took his time to explain things along the way (such as how it was wired and showing me how it should be, which he did) and made sure to address all of my concerns, but didn't attempt to up-sell me on anything either.

Javier is a top-notch electrician. He was very responsive to an urgent request to rewire my bathroom (full home-run back to the panel). He got the job done in no time and for a great price. He was professional and super friendly.
