We have been using Mark Young as our primary electrician for almost a decade. He has always been extremely responsive, honest, skilled and fair. We have used his services both at our primary home as well as at our rental house. Over the years, he has installed recessed lights for us, fixed faulty switches, installed dimmers, helped replace old fixtures for newer/safer ones, installed wiring for new motion sensors, installed electric garage door, added to our fuse box, replaced old outlets with GFCI, etc. Highly recommend this electrician. read more

Mark is amazing! We had an electrical problem in our condo: half the condo had no electrical power. We attempted to flip the circuit breakers, but nothing worked. So we called Mark. Mark picked up - though it was on a Sunday night which appeared to be outside of his normal business hours; and he walked us through repairing the problem. It was a huge help and relief to get my power back! Thank you, Mark! I will be calling Mark if I have another electrical problem in the future. read more

Mark is extremely effective and has integrity. He was responsive, got here within 48 hours of my outreach. He arrived when he said he would. He could have charged me for a huge project, but instead found a simpler way (code compliant) To fix the problem. Professional, Service oriented and focused. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. read more

DO NOT HIRE THIS PERSON! It was offensive that he made me so uncomfortable in my home and wouldnt let me get close to inspect the work. He made me so uncomfortable in my own home.... As it turns out, I have booked another electrician coming in to finish and make sure that the work that was done is correct. I can post those photos and his bill. This is not political, and blaming the person who is victum to this bully behavoir is another reason not to hire this electrician. And I am a christian woman, I thought and prayed about this situation and it is distasteful to me to get any more involved. When I finally got a chance to see the work, he did; I was appalled. The job assignment: He took down a mirror medicine chest and installed a light fixture. He said the light fixture was "loose" I also said I wanted my on off light switches side by side..I wanted a nice plate on the wall .but I could not get close to see what he was cutting until he had already cut into the wall. the damage is done and having him in the apartment wasnt going to make anything better. A loose light fixture? really? I work in a service industry if I said that to a client, I might not get paid until the job was redone.. I had no confidence that was going to happen and I really just wanted him to leave. It wasnt until I got an invoice email that had all kinds of comments-openions that I realized this was not professional. This isnt political, he put all kinds of political nonesense on his invoice. And cashed my check that day. i WILL NOT RECOMEND THIS ELECTRICIAN AND WARN DO NOT HIRE.. read more

Mark Young Electric - CRAPPP work not political who works like this? - Electricians Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Deceptive: Not at all. I told Mark when he walked in the door exactly what was going on. I had SmartLabs switches that were going haywire. And I told him that several electricians had declined to get involved. Ungrateful: Absolutely! I never asked Mark for a discount--I just asked him to please finish the job he started. If you drove your car to a mechanic and he got "around 90%" of your issues resolved (his words), then collected his pay and told you you'd have to tow your car to another mechanic to finish the job, how grateful would you be? Postscript: After a week of sitting in the dark, Cesar from Mister Rogers Electric came. He had everything figured out and fixed in two hours. read more

Mr. Young quickly diagnosed our lighting problem and fixed it. His pricing was much, much more reasonable than expected. He changed out several switches and plugs and still charged us only $78. We were very happy and if we need an electrician again plan to call him. read more

We've used Mark for years and he provides fast, thorough service and is very reliable! His rates are also incredible. He replaced a switch recently in 15 minutes. Don't hesitate to call him! Thank you! read more

I called three local electricians who did not answer the phone. Then I called Mark to get a feel for pricing to fix an issue in my home. He answered right away. I described the issue and rather than taking my money he suggested I call the manufacture of my product. Due to the nature of the product and my understanding of wiring he advised I "save a little money" and try calling the manufacturer. He was honest and forthright, something uncommon among other service providers. I'll absolutely reach out again if I am unable to get the work done myself. read more

I needed a faulty dimmer replaced and Mark was quick to reply to my request for a quote and to complete the job. He was knowledgeable, worked efficiently, and his price was very fair. My dad is an electrician however is out of state, so I will definitely be using Mark for future electrican projects. Highly recommend! read more

I had several CFL bulbs stuck in sockets of my recessed light fixtures. Mark was able to remove the bulbs without breaking them, which was a huge relief given the mercury danger. Another electrician I had consulted previously quoted four times the price Mark charged and stated that the bulbs would need to be broken and parts of the fixtures replaced. Mark was able to remove the bulbs quickly and without replacing any parts. You can tell that Mark is extremely experienced and conservative in his approach. I highly recommend Mark and will use him for any future electrical needs. read more

Mark is a very skilled electrician. He fixed several issues all in one day, and did it for a very fair price. He also went and bought all the additional parts that were required. I highly recommend Mark. He is a really nice guy as well as a fantastic electrician. read more

Mark is professional, competent, honest, and nice. He explained his work, offered honest assessments of what needed to be done and was reasonably priced. I would continue to hire him and will recommend him to everyone I know who lives in the NoVa and DC area. read more

Mark is one heck of a professional electrician; you use him once, you'll keep going back to him. It's been 6 years now for me. The range of his electrical services is extensive, but big or small, he does an equally outstanding job. His trademark is that he's meticulous and reliable, easy to work with, and he not only charges reasonably, he does not surprise you with additional billing. When he's done with the job, not only I was satisfied with his work, but I could see that he was satisfied, too. I recommend him with no reservation whatsoever. read more

Mark was fantastic, on time, reasonably priced and did a great job. Definitely reccomend.

Mark came to run a new circuit for a washing machine and install some additional interior lighting. He did a great, very professional job. He stayed late to wrap things up all in one day. He reinstalled the drywall and did a preliminary coat of joint compound on it - something no other electrician I contacted even offered to do. His rates were very reasonable as well. Definitely give Mark a call for your next job! read more

Mark is a great electrician and nice guy. He is the kind of professional who will look at your situation/listen to your desires and tell you honestly makes the most sense to do (which sometimes is nothing). When he does do work, he's on time and does what you ask while leaving the site neat and tidy when he's done. I had him do some work on our house just before we moved in several years ago and have called him back on multiple occasions since. Couldn't be happier with his work. read more
