Castro Electrical Services was very responsive, reaching out to me within minutes of my request and arriving at my house less than 2 hours later (and slightly early). The technician was professional, clearly explained the problem and the solution, and didn't try to add charges on to the estimate once the job was done. I highly recommend Castro and would hire them again for any electrical issue read more

I used Castro in 2019 to do a heavy up. My home had the old glass breakers. They did an amazing job. Fast forward to today and they just completed install a 50Amp EV charger outlet. On-time, on-budget and inspected by the county. Jefrey did a great job. read more

Reliable appointments and excellent service. Highly recommend. Shawn did a great job every time he's come out to my house.

I hired them for an EV charger installation and am very happy about that. First, the free estimate appointment was so clear and it was Castro did a review of the needs and he provided multiple options that fit the schedule. Post estimate he is very prompt sending the estimates on time and clarifying questions. On the installation day, the crew was here on time. Two electricians who did a fantastic job and they made it so neat and quiet. They are so professional. I recommend them for any electrical work. Just my opinion: The front office could be a little more friendly. But can't complain she is straight to the point in our discussions. read more

Highly recommend Castro Electrical Services on all accounts!!!! My family has been using Castro's services for many years now and we have always relied on them for various electrical repairs and new projects for our Potomac residence. Just recently, Daniel and Andrew from Castro were beyond excellent when removing a defective existing light fixture and then installing a new curvilinear LED fixture in our dining area. Not only did they fulfill our hope that we would be able to enjoy the artistry of our light fixture once again, but they offered to restore the placement of all the furniture and pieces in the area below the light fixture. read more

Professional and meticulous. Even the inspector was impressed by the quality of the work done. Punctual and strong communication, as well. Hire them. read more

We moved into a remodeled home and had several strange electrical issues that we wanted an electrician to take a look at. Sean came over on time, gave an update when he was on his way, was very friendly and informative on all of our issues. Kept us abreast of anything that would add cost to our estimate. Very well priced and upfront the entire time. We will definitely be hiring them again for any of our electrical needs. read more

After calling an electrician who charged me $75 to showed up. Moreover, he took the breakers off the main panel and left me with no power for couple of days. I found Castro Electrical Services on the web. When I called I was able to speak with Paul who asked me to send him a picture. He was able to give me a fix price over the phone and set me up with an appointment the next day. A member of his team showed up with a proper mask, gloves and shoe booties. It took him 10 minutes to install the new breakers. When I asked how much was for the breakers. He said nothing because they buy breakers on bulk and they are fully stock at their shop.  I would recommend Castro Electrical Services because they are reasonable, professional and super efficient." read more

We have used Castro electric several times now, most recently to replace several aging outdoor fixtures and install some outlets on the island in our kitchen. They arrived on time, were friendly and efficient, and got the work done very quickly. The cost was quite reasonable. Also, they stand behind their work -- I know if there's ever a problem, they'll be right here to take care of it. Mr. Castro and his employees are craftsmen who take personal pride in their work. read more

I recently used Castro electrical services to replace my bathroom switch. The technician that came to the house was Peter. He was great in that he was able to change out my switch and since it was a double switch, he went ahead and changed the other one with no additional charge so that the two switches would be matching. He was kind enough to put my light fixture back on as well. That was a pleasant surprise. Peter also shared some information with me regarding a surge protector, and was kind enough to show me exactly what it looks like and what it would do.There was no pressure from him in purchasing the surge protector. He was kind enough to give me information and encouraged me to look into How the protector actually works and recommended it as something to consider for down the road. So I was very pleased that I was not pressured into any additional services. read more

I used Castro Electric to update my old panels with new technology and install a Tesla charger. My job was also complicated by having a third panel for backup generator. They provided great service. I felt I was their number one priority even though they have many customers. They provided a good fair price and offered better technology than many of their competitors. I would use them again in a heartbeat. read more

Just had Paul complete installing an outdoor outlet and switching an indoor outlet. I did a lot of research and he was extremely competitive but it was our initial conversation that sold me. He is extremely personable, honest and a family man. Him and a trainee showed up on time, assessed the job and explained what they would do. Everything was extremely professional. They even went out of their way and taught me a little bit about how to best connect an outdoor lighting system. They tested a unit and recommended what I could get. When walking inside, they take precaution to not leave any footmarks in the home and were very diligent doing their job. I will absolutely use him for any other electrical job. It's a great pleasure when you find someone you can trust in any trade. I definitely recommend Paul for any electrical job you have in mind. read more

Used them to install an outdoor light and two outdoor outkets. I was so pleased with the price, professionalism and responsiveness. Will be my go to in the future for sure for any future ekectrical needs. read more

Paul, Peter, and the Castro team were excellent to work with. The new electrical panel and recessed lighting look fantastic. Our work was also completed in a very timely manner. Paul and Peter were very responsive to all of the questions we had. Highly recommend! read more

Castro gave me a free estimate over the phone for a ceiling fan install that was very reasonable compared with another electrician that I spoke to. Scheduling was easy and they arrived promptly and were done in just over an hour as they said. Very professional and I would recommend. read more

Prompt and competent service. Helped us on short notice and price was reasonable!

I hired Castro Electric Services to install one single ceiling fixture in my living room. The staff before and after the project was polite and sounded caring. The work associated with the project was disappointing. The technician/electrician was late. My specific instructions were not followed. The number of irregularly cut holes in the ceiling and the wall for this project was excessive. The cutout ceiling pieces were just taped back to cover the holes with painter masking tape which was too weak to hold up the ceiling pieces and thus, after 1 day, the cutout ceiling pieces all fell down. The electrician informed us that he did not carry dimmer switch in his truck which was fine but then he changed his mind and said that he had only one in his truck. After installing the switch which turned out to be defective, he went to his truck and miraculously showed my husband a second one. Overall, the installation was done well but the process was not. Despite the negative remarks so far, the story has a happy ending. The owner was made aware of my dissatisfaction. He was very apologetic about the side effect of the work and sent out a crew to my house the following Saturday. The crew patched up the holes, painted everything, cleaned up all the dust without charging me a penny. The work was well done and I am very satisfied. Castro Electric Services went beyond what the work request to rectify issues that rose from the project. It stands by the years of experience and reputation and I will not hesitate to hire this company for future projects. read more

The electrician, Peter, was great. Knew his business. Promptly made the repairs. Helpful, courteous. No upselling! Provided a typed report on the repairs with pictures. Would use them again in a heartbeat. read more

We had a problem at a rental house where if there were too many people using electricity, the power would just go out. Paul came out, diagnosed the problem, which had to do with the electric panel. I trust Castro Electrical implicitly, and it's good to know the tenants were in good hands. I highly recommend Castro Electrical! read more

We had Castro Electrical at our house today. The Electrician was Shawn and he was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. He had a lot of work to do and he was apologetic for taking most of the day. He was very conscientious about wires showing and listened to any concerns we had. He worked from morning until evening and even swept before he left. I would use this company again without hesitation. Again thank you to Shawn and Castro Electrical. I highly recommend! read more

Castro electrical helped up with many jobs including: installing a tv, chandelier, flush mounts, outlets and bringing outlets to code. They were friendly, prompt and professional. Would definitely use them again and recommend them. read more

They came yesterday and installed 3 new wire conduits with fans and removed an old chandelier. They did a great job, and did it in a single day. I knew exactly what I needed and they were extremely straight forward on pricing -- the price was competitive. read more

Paul and his team responded to an emergency I had with water coming into my electrical panel. Paul came within two hours of my call on a Friday afternoon to my house to assess the situation and was able to mobilize his crew to respond to the emergency. I highly recommend Paul and Castro Electric. read more

I've worked with Paul for several projects around my house in the last couple of years, from smaller jobs like installing lighting and outlets up to installing a dedicated sub-panel in my garage. I have found his prices to be fair, and the quality of work to be outstanding. Paul is extremely nice and has always shown up in person for me to perform estimates as well as to check in on the jobs being performed. read more

We had a need to have two dedicated outlets installed each on their own breaker. Unfortunately for us our house was only built with a 60amp panel so we would also have to upgrade the panel. I looked through Google and Yelp and found Castro Electrical Services. I called for an estimate, Paul the owner of the company came on time for our scheduled estimate. He provided me a written quote on the spot and followed that up with an electronic quote. Once the new panel was chosen (I had a specific model in mind) Paul ordered it and had it shipped directly to my house. Once the panel was enroute he called to schedule the work. He was extremely flexible with my family's busy schedule. Ten minutes before his crew was set to arrive they were already outside. I gave them a quick run down of where the two outlets needed to go and they got to work. The two workers were incredibly efficient and knowledgeable. Paul arrived shortly after they started to ensure each of the parts of the project was going to be completed. Paul's guys knocked the whole thing out, two dedicated outlets with romex running from a second story attic down to the basement, a new panel, and few checkups and repairs from previous questionable work in under 8 hours. To say I'm impressed is an understatement. The guys vacuumed each area they had been in and didn't leave any mess. If I ever need work done in this house or a future one in the area I'll be calling Castro Electrical Services. read more

Installed a 240V circuit in my garage for EV charging. Paul arrived promptly to estimate, gave a good explanation of his proposed install, and offered a competitive quote. He and his workers arrived on time and completed the job neatly. Paul inspected the work and demonstrated his testing results. The outlet and breaker are working well. Very pleased with the service and results. read more

So Paul and his team just recently completed his second job for us. The first, last year, was to do a heavy up on our newly purchased 50+ year old home. The work was done on time, priced competitively, and neatly. The work passed inspection the first time. There was some difficulty getting Pepco to do their piece but Paul's office staff worked with us to get it done in the end. The newer job was to install a 40 amp 240V plug in our garage for our new EV. Again, Paul's team was on time, efficient, and the work was done correctly. Pricing was very competitive. The car charges beautifully and he provided the paperwork for the Maryland EV charger rebate. Above and beyond? Paul personally phoned to follow up on the install. He wanted to make sure the plug was working correctly. Very impressive. Two days before our initially scheduled install date we lost our heat in our home. We called to offer Paul the opportunity to reschedule since the house was around 60 degrees. Rescheduling was seamless and Paul took it in stride. We got a new appointment exactly when it was convenient for us. Minor issues and resolution The team drilled an unnecessary (as it turned out) hole in one of our staircases for the run from the panel to the garage. The next day two gentlemen showed up and patched the hole. They did a nice job. The paperwork for the EV charger rebate had 2 minor errors on it. Paul's office corrected the errors and sent new copies within a day. Summary and a final thought Would I use Castro Electrical again? The answer is, without hesitation. Please be aware that Castro does NOT do drywall patching. Paul is very careful to explain this when he does his estimate. Plus, it is written clearly on the estimate. I imagine that occasionally people fail to notice this. My wife and I think this is as it should be. We are using his company for their expertise in electrical work. We would not expect a plumber to be a roofer, so we do not expect an electrician to be a dry wall expert. Have a nice day. read more

They did some basic work for me - installing outlets and GFIC. I found them to be very reliable and will likely use them for a bigger project down the line with upgrading our service. read more

Company Lacks Professionalism and Respect. Expected more when hiring this company. Did not show up and were not at all reasonable. There are Much better service companies to hire elsewhere in the area. read more

Since I wrote my original review Mr Castro has checked the fan and had the patches painted. He is truly a man of integrity and I would use his company again. read more

I've had nothing but positive experiences with Castro Electrical Services. Paul and his team were always super responsive and professional. If you are doing a home remodel, need an inspection or just a fan wired, call Castro! You won't be disappointed! read more
