Tim is THE BEST! We had a panel from the 50's and no overhead lighting so needless to say, we had a lot of work to do. Tim helped us upgrade our panel, rewire our entire kitchen, and must have installed 20+ lights around our house. Super easy to work with and we could tell he had our best interests at heart. Damen is great too!! read more

Tim has honest pricing, does great work, and is a pleasure to work with... if you're looking for a go-to guy, look no further! read more

See all

Tim at Mario Brothers did an excellent job with my electrical needs. He installed a front light fixture and two outside recessed lights. I called and he came out the very next day. He was on time for the appointment and text me prior to arrival. Tim was polite and friendly and got the job done at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Tim and his company for your electrical needs. read more

My wife and I purchased a spa at Dimension One in Vista. J.T. recommended Tim to add a 220v upgrade to our existing electric service. Tim promptly returned every call and happily answered all of my questions. For every phase of the work he and his crew showed up on time and the quality of their work was two thumbs up! Tim also guided me through the do's and don'ts of the permitting process with the City of Carlsbad. As a result of the superior work and his coaching, both the rough electric inspection and the final inspection went off without a hitch. Tim is a true pleasure to do business with, personally and professionally. The cost of the work was more than reasonable. We can't recommend him highly enough! BTW, we've already booked Tim for an upcoming project. read more

Tim did our bathrooms - reface the cabinets, new countertops, new sinks, new faucets, new mirrors, new baseboards, new toilets, new bathtub/sliding door, new paint, new bathroom lighting. Excellent craftsmanship - better than I imagined. The price was fair. He advised us on where to get a great price on the countertop. He picked up everything from the stores for us. The paint was great - they did the ceilings even though it wasn't part of the estimate. He did an awesome job on the baseboards - making them wide enough to hide my so-so work on the bathroom tile. He personally built the frames for the mirrors - they look phenomenal. He made sure the wall textures where consistent. I will be so happy with the bathrooms for years to come. If you go with Tim, I think you will be very happy. read more

Super happy with Mario Bros... Took care of us and our security lights and new wiring for the living room. I highly recommend this company! read more

We have used Mario Brothers multiple times and will be calling them again for any electrical or construction needs in the future. Tim is knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly and does quality work. He installed the electrical for our above ground hot tub, which included running the wire through our garage wall and along the side of our house to our tub in the backyard. He installed the breakers neatly out-of-sight. We later had Tim install a ceiling fan in our master bedroom, which has high vaulted ceilings. It's been almost a year, and the fan still works and looks amazing, even though it was challenging to get the junction lines clean initially due to the peak of the vaulted ceilings where the fan was installed. We also had Tim install our entertainment center, which is a floating wall panel. The panel is incredibly heavy, with 2 separate pieces. He installed all the electrical to run the TV, with additional power options for future components. He also ran multiple HDMI cables and ethernet options... all of them are concealed with NO wires showing anywhere. We have some more projects on our list and will definitely call on him for future work. read more

We purchased a spa and needed a company that could prepare the area and run a very difficult run for electric to the spa. Tim assessed the situation and gave us a plan that was spot on. We gave him a delivery date for the spa and he was here to get everything completed before delivery. Once the spa was delivered he connected everything and ran through the spa setup to make sure everything worked. From the moment he came for the estimate to the final setup I had the utmost confidence that he would do the job right. He never let me down and is an honest professIona that I would recommend for any job big or small. read more

Tim completed my electrical/demo project under budget and on time. He's a friendly guy who is relatable and trustworthy. What more can you ask for? I will definitely be going back to him for future projects. read more

Tim was prompt, professional, fair, and friendly! I interviewed at least half dozen electrical contractors to do what I thought was a straightforward job of connecting my new hot tub; I received inconsistent and incongruent info and bids from them. I should mention that I purchased my spa from a private party, but that should not have been any issue. I was beginning to think I should just sell the hot tub but tried one more time and reached out to Mario Brothers Construction. Tim came by, assessed my situation, consulted me on the most practical approach to overcome some structural constraints, proposed a very fair price, and DELIVERED ON HIS WORD!! I HIGHLY recommend Tim for your general construction/contractor bids - I intend to work with him again as other projects arise. Dr. K, Oceanside, CA read more

We had a great experience with Mario Brothers. We called them to install a 220 line for a dryer and relocating a light fixture and switch. Tim was very professional, worked quickly and efficiently, and tried to save us money where he could. He also explained things very clearly and involved me in the decision making process. We will definitely call him again next time we need an electrician. read more

Mario Brothers and specifically Tim has done various custom jobs at my residence. This ranges from electrical work, custom windows and carpentry work. His work is of the highest standard, he has taken pride in every piece of detail choosing to redo something to get it right rather than let it go. Specifically Tim build a custom deck for my new hot tub. This included hooking up the 220V connection to the hot tub, building a custom fence out of Trex, custom glass fence and building the wooden deck around the hot tub. Tim created a CAD design before we started, we reviewed the design , created a bill of materials and planned the design before starting. Tim keeps communication open and clearly articulates his plans and how issues need to be resolved. Highly recommended to provide a great product for your residence. Philip Koekemoer read more

My family and I had a cabinetry emergency. Our cabinets were falling off the wall. We called Mario Brothers and they came promptly. Tim came over and made sure the sinking cabinets were propped up for safety while he completed repairs. He explained the nature of the problem with the cabinets and how he could fix them to last. Our cabinets are now in pristine condition and we are very happy with his work. The price was reasonable too. Tim has confidence in his work and it shows. He was very kind to the whole family. We highly recommend his services. read more

Tim was nice, he couldn't quite meet my budget but overall my experience with him was fair. Doesn't do insurance work do to insurance low valuation. If your going through insurance he may not be your best choice in contractor but if you have some extra $ put away it sounds like he does high quality work. read more

I called two days ago and I was told I would have someone call me back the same day... I'm still waiting! From the reviews I read, they sound like a great service, but I guess they're too busy. read more

I've used Mario Brothers Construction for two projects at my house. Both times I've been very happy with the finished result and the experience of doing business with them. The jobs were completed within the budget and time frame quoted up-front. The most recent project was concrete work to build a platform for a Spa and electrical work to install the Spa and a decorative lamp in the yard. Tim and Dave got this done for me within a week. They accommodated my specific requests on certain aspects of the job. For most of the work I just was just happy to accept their expertise, and I'm very happy with the final results. I''m enjoying the the Spa and light every week, and they are really the showpieces of my yard now! I'm planning to hire them again soon for some electrical work inside my house. read more

In 2011 we hired Tim Chilcoat (Mario Brothers Construction & Electric) to work on replacing a worn-out hot tub on our second floor deck. He ran all the electrical wires and a ground fault breaker as well as all of the wooden construction needed. Tim is an excellent person and fine worker; he always told us what was needed, what he suggested doing, and when it would be done. He always put in a full day's work, and was easy to talk with. Tim is a real pro, and we would be happy to have him help us out anytime! Paul and Marian Friedl Coronado read more
