I had a great experience with Martinez Electric. They helped me fix an exposed wire in my pool shed, rerouted the wiring to make it work much better for my new pool pump, and even installed a whip to properly connect the pump. They were professional, knowledgeable, and paid attention to the details to make sure everything was done safely and correctly. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled electrician! read more

Martinez Electric was a great find. Efren (Martinez) was courteous, knowledgeable and responded very quickly to my home's electrical problem when I reached out (which turned out to be in the house's electrical panel). He fixed my problem VERY quickly at a great price. He also informed me that my electrical panel was, otherwise, in great shape. This surprised me (not that the panel was in good shape, but that Efren shared that with me). Typically, people and companies doing service on your home (electric, plumbing, gardening, roofing, etc.) always leave the door open by mentioning another issue so that you might have them come back to "fix" another concern. But Efren didn't do that! He left with a smile, assuring me that my home's electrical was in very good shape. I will definitely use Martinez Electric in the future! Thank you, Efren!! read more

These guys did some work for us back in 2016. Called them back to retrofit some fluorescent lighting and they were responsive, fast, clean and very respectful. A class act, I highly recommend. read more

I reached out to Martínez Electric through Yelp for a quote, and they got back to me almost immediately. Their pricing was great, and you can tell they really know what they're doing. Instead of scheduling a consultation first, they asked the right questions and figured out that they could come straight to do the job. About 20 electricians contacted me, but I chose them because of their pricing, flexibility with my schedule, and how responsive they were. I told them I needed urgent service, and they even moved things around to fit me in as soon as possible. Their service was outstanding--super professional, quick, and clean. They left everything spotless, and the job was done perfectly. I'll definitely be calling them again for any future electrical work. Thanks so much for the amazing service! read more

The gentlemen at Martinez fixed a wiring problem with our outdoor lights that had been driving us crazy -- and they did it quickly and professionally. They were prompt and very pleasant to work with and the rate they charged was reasonable. I'll absolutely be calling them again for our next electrical problem. read more

Efren was referred to me by a friend of mine, he did extensive work on her building complex and she was very pleased. I needed some repairs done by a different contractor that did work that was not compliant and it was very bad. Efren quickly came over and fixed issues. I was very pleased with the result. He's very friendly, takes pride in his work and he definitely knows what he is doing and most importantly - to be done up to code. I'm gonna keep his phone number handy for any future electrical needs. read more

Martinez Electric - Wired my outdoor plug in charger for my new Rav4 Hybrid. Clean work reasonably prices! - Electricians Near Me

Efren is the best electrician out there. He rewired my house and did an amazing job. I see why he has so many 5 star reviews. He is top notch and very skilled and knowledgeable when it comes to electrical work. Other contractors I called out seemed nervous about the work or had limited experience. Efren was calm and confident, and made me feel at ease. He was very transparent and honest, explaining everything every step of the way. Excellent work together with exceptional customer service is hard to find these days. I highly recommend him! read more

I can't say enough about the experience! Efren is highly skilled, professional, responsive, and very congenial. he knocked the other quotes I received out of the ballpark! I can't believe I was quoted almost 3 times the amount he charged me. I will definitely use him for future jobs. I highly recommend him! read more

I reached out to Martinez Electric upon seeing their amazing reviews. We had another electrician come out the day prior and they were here about 2 hours and couldn't figure out what it was so they offered to schedule another 4-6 hour in depth diagnostic which was tremendously expensive. On the other hand Mr. Martinez and his employee took about an hour and solved our problem efficiently and effectively. Our power went out and we had no idea where it was. After he inspected the panel,attic, and outlets thoroughly it led him to the problem area which happened to be an outlet where there in fact was power. We are so thankful that Mr. Martinez took care of us. Our whole house could've caught on fire due to this faulty outlet. We definitely recommend Martinez Electric to anyone looking to get electrical work done. read more

I am currently in a project with Efren and his work is top notch. I have remodeled several properties and worked with several different electricians. But I must say that he is by far the best in terms of professionalism, skill, and ease to work with. For some reason I was wary of finding an electrician on Yelp because I felt I could get better prices through word of mouth from other contractors. But I decided to check out Yelp and found Efren. I'm so glad I did because I will now reach out to him for any future projects. His prices were also very reasonable. I would highly recommend him. read more

Efren and his team did an amazing job on a recent electrical panel upgrade and installation of recessed lights. He was very professional and responsive from the very beginning and completed both projects within the budgeted timeline. Efren answered all my question and took the time to explain the process along the way. City inspection was a breeze and passed without any issues. I am very happy with the quality of his work and final results matched expectations. I would highly recommend his services and will be keeping his contact information handy for any future electrical projects. read more

Efran and Christian are the best in the business. They showed up on time and began to troubleshoot. They explored all the possibilities using their tools. Once they identified the problem they got right to work. Once they solved and fixed one issue, they went right to the next one (I had two separate issues). They communicated and showed me where the problem was. I cannot say more nice things about these two. They replaced the wiring and patched up their work. Also, they use tarps and are conscious of cleaning up after themselves. Hire these guys. And they accept card using Square. Update: They continue to be professional and on-time. I recommend them to those in search of electrician professionals. read more

First off Efren and his team are very professional and fair. I requested a quote for a complete panel and rewire for my old house. Gave me a free and fair estimate and all went really well! I trust him 100% he was honest and got the job done right. The dwp inspector was impressed by his work and we passed with flying colors. So happy I decided to go with Martinez electric! read more

They were great, Would recommend to anyone. Give them a call for an estimate. They will give a honest great price for a very professional job. read more

Edit to respond to owner: We never agreed to any date because your $250 fee to even look at the property was absolutely absurd. I found plenty of other electricians that are happy to come and give a FREE estimate unlike you. Just because you were burned before doesn't mean everyone is the same. You know what you did when you threw out that $250 and I'm exposing you for the true nature you handle your business. Original review: This company is a complete joke. He wanted to charge $250 to even come out to provide a bid on a property that I am in escrow for. Shows his true nature as a businessman, stay away from a company like this. I get you might have been burned in the past from other people about shopping bids or whatever (your words not mine) but that's the nature of the business, your work and price would speak for itself. Stay away! read more

Great service and reasonably price and very professional work.Dave is a great guy also his crew. !!!!!!!

Martinez electric fixed my electrical issues at my home which other electricians couldn't even figure out. I definitely recommend them. They are very economical and trustworthy. read more

Martinez Electric - He figured out that my sub panel wasn't receiving voltage on one side. He replaced it with a new one. At a way cheaper price than others. - Electricians Near Me

Do not hesitate to hire Efren and his team at Martinez Electric! We had him come out to install a new panel upgrade and a couple of bath fan/heater combos. From the very beginning he stood out from the competition. He was the ONLY electrician to let us know we needed to get dwp out to give us an approval for placement before giving us an accurate quote. Once we went ahead with the work, he and his workers were efficient, friendly, and polite. Best of all, they did a great job! They even fixed some substandard work done by a previous electrician. They also alerted us to a water leak under our house (had been patched poorly previously) AND a gas leak at our water heater! I was dreading finding someone to fix these problems, especially after the gas company made us turn off our water heater! Luckily, Efren referred someone who came and fixed it all, for a fair price, on a Saturday! The panel upgrade looks great and passed inspection. We asked for his patchers to patch the stucco and they did a great job, and it matches the existing stucco perfectly. The bath fan/heaters were a difficult task because of our plaster ceiling and walls, but they managed to do such preside work that no patching was needed! The last company that we hired, left huge uneven holes all over our house, and told us to learn to patch it ourselves. One of the workers accidentally dropped a drill and even though he had laid down drop cloths, it gouged a tile. I alerted Efren when I saw, and he apologized profusely and immediately scheduled someone to come out and fix it. I am so glad to have finally found an honest, dependable electrician to add to my list of contractors! If you are looking for the same, call Martinez Electric! read more

We used this company for installing a few lights and switches a few months ago, paid about $1200. Last month, one of the switches they installed stopped working. We scheduled these guys to come out. First, they no showed, and only when we asked if they were coming they replied that they had an emergency. They re-scheduled for that afternoon. Without even coming in, they said it was too hot to work. It was 87 degrees outside. After they left, we get a text that the job will cost $200. They never even assessed the problem? They claim it's because we got our roof redone, but no one ever went into the attic, and there is a whole wood layer that covers the attic when shingles are replaced. Nothing else in the whole house was affected, but this single switch they installed failed. Not impressed with how this situation has been handled. They asked us to write a good review for them last time, but I delayed. Glad I did, knowing how they truly work. read more

I have used Martinez electric twice now and both times the service has been excellent! Whether you need new outlets, or a Mini split dedicated circuit (which I had done) they do it all, efficient and ON TIME! Always show up exactly when they said they will and make sure I fully understand what's going on and always answer questions. Some times they call me to explain something before I even hire them for the job. Customer service is top notch and the work quality matches. 100% recommend. read more

I have a 1910 home in East Los Angeles that still had the original knob and tube wiring. After getting a couple bids to replace the circuit box, wiring, associated outlets and add a few additional outlets, Efren from Martinez Electric was among the best bids. What sold me on going with him was his promptness, communication and professional attitude. I was right to go with him! Very satisfied with not only the cost but the actual work he did. He is very contentious and thorough. I will use Martinez Electric for all my electrical needs. read more

Efren and his team were great! They were responsive, efficient, and did quality work installing/grounding outlets, installing rings, and under-grounding an exposed wire to our garage. I would trust them with any of my future electric needs. read more

Efren was referred to me by a co-worker. He and his assistant were very courteous and professional. They did a beautiful job on my new electrical panel. So happy with the work. Will definitely refer them to friends and family. read more

Martinez Electric is by far the best and most professional electrician I have ever encountered. Efren, the owner is also a high quality person who you will be very comfortable to have in your home. He is honest and his prices are very fair. Also, he is on time for his appointments or will call or text you if he is running late. They installed a new electric line 240V in preparation for a new 5 ton A.C. condenser. They also installed a new A.C. disconnect box and removed all the old wiring. We look forward to having Efren come back and do some additional work for us. We are lucky we selected Efren and now have a great electrician that we can also refer to family and friends. read more

Efren, is GREAT! He did some small jobs around my house and he knew it was not going to be huge and still came done in an hour. Just call him. read more

Efrain is awesome! He runs a family business, which I love supporting. I grew up in a bicycle shop with my parents so I know what it takes to make it with a small mom and pop business. In this case it's a pop and pop.... pop senior and pop junior. The family works together and it's nice to see him training the younger generation to one day take over. A good, honest, hard working team that will get the job done for a decent price and not overcharge you. This is my 3rd home and as a single woman, believe me, most contractors think women are stupid and jack up their prices. This was NOT the case with Efrain. Also, he arrived when he said he would which is a rare commodity these days, and to boot, they vaccummed after themselves so there was no big mess left. I had him come out a few times. First one night it was raining and huge power pole a block down the road BLEW UP and literally turned off all the power to the block. I heard it explode and then heard the voomp when everything turned off in one swoop in my home. By the next day the power was back on to the block but 1 of my breakers and several of my outlets and some of my "power protection strips" had fried (hey, good news is they're only $20-50 a strip VS all my electronics that were hooked up to them that would've cost a couple grand to replace if they had fried - ALWAYS invest in those protection strips, I'm telling you!). So he came out and replaced the fried breaker and the fried outlets. Then I had him come out a 2nd time to hard wire some e-heaters (biggest waste of money I ever invested in in my lifetime, but totally not his fault) and he even created dedicated outlets for my "window a/c units" and these stupid e-heaters that I'm now going to return after making a complaint to the BBB about their false advertisement on their website, which means I'll need Efrain to come out a 4th time so he can unwire them all, but at least, as he reminded me, I have dedicated lines for the a/c's and since my house is on 110 (not 220), well, I was getting close to maxing out and didn't want anything plugged in the wrong outlet that sucks a lot of energy (such as one of the a/c's) and next thing you know, I've blown the breaker or worse, started a fire. The 3rd time he came out he installed an outdoor outlet (with a nice waterproof cover on it) so I could plug in my Christmas lights outside. Quick and easy and no huge bill, just an average price that was more than fair. Now I will be calling him for the 4th time to get him to unwire all the hard wired piece of doodoo e-heaters so I can return them and I will likely have him wire some security cameras and replace my flood lights while he's at it, and maybe add a sensor light for my front door. He is an honest, hardworking, fair priced man that will get your job done right! Go Efrain and team! Thank you for being fair and honest with me, and most importantly, timely and to your word! It seems like the latter doesn't exist in the contractor world anymore for most. I'm so glad your word IS your word! Thank you! read more

Such a great experience with Martinez Electric. I was in the middle of installing wall cabinets in our living room and since it was empty and very dark, I decided spur of the moment to get 5 recessed lights put in with dimmers. Martinez Electric came in at the lowest cost & was able to install the next day! They showed up at 8 AM (on-time) and finished the job within 2.5 hours. They made very clean holes in the ceiling. There was only one portion where the hole wasn't as clean but they patched it up. While they were working, they were also kind enough to clean my vacuum (it had a lot of stuff stuck in there..LOL) and even took off my base boards for me (I was prepping for the wall cabinets to go in). SO GREAT! Love them and highly recommend working with them in the future. read more

I found Efren on Yelp a couple of years ago. Great reviews made it easy for me. Reasonable price and estimate was fair for the work. He and his crew removed a meter spot from one side of the house to the other. Arranged the permits, passed inspection. Great Job! On time. Professional. Two weeks later we had him redo the entire electrical rewire on our tenants house. Arranged permits, passed inspection and done in a timely manner. Honestly, I wish I had more work for him. I'll find something. read more

I had a great experience with Martinez Electric! Efren responded to my inquiry quickly, offered a good price, and was very professional throughout. I also appreciated that he communicated his whereabouts so I could plan accordingly. Martinez Electric remedied electrical work completed by a prior contractor that was discovered as not per code by a LADBS inspector. When the LADBS inspector returned to review Martinez Electric's work, the inspector said "this is how it should be done!" Don't hesitate to contact Martinez Electric if you have the need. read more

Came out and fixed what Powell electric broke. They came 8am the day after I texted them. They found a short where the ground was mashed up against the positive line. This hadn't been an issue before but after Powell pulled the switches out there was clearly a short. I had originally asked Powell about a three way switch that didn't work. They had left me with a hefty quote to fix. The Martinez guys had that fixed as well in 15 minutes and taped off the cables to prevent future grounding issues. Couldn't be happier and will definitely use them again. read more

Efren and Christian did a fantastic job on my property. Very efficient, organized, clean and straightforward about everything they did. Will definitely be using them again for any work in the future. read more

I arranged for service at my Mom's home because she was having trouble with some outlets in the kitchen. The electrician showed up and had everything resolved within 20 minutes. The initial estimate of $240 via Yelp messaging considered more complicated possible solutions. After my Mom was charged $240 for just 20 minutes of work, she told them that she thought that was expensive. I agreed and complained. After some back and forth, I appreciated their concern for our satisfaction, and we settled on a charge of $100, rather than $240. I would have awarded 5 stars for their service, if I didn't need to argue for what I thought was fair. Still, I will say they were on time and did quality work. read more

Very fast response time, knowledgable, and professional. I have even referred them to others. Will use again.

Efren, Armando and Ricky were very curteous and did an outstanding job. Not only did they show up on time, perform to my expectations and clean up after themselves but they even did some additional work of running HDMI cables through a wall for FREE! I have some other electrical work coming up and Efren will be my first call. His prices are very fair and he doesn't look for extras. Other guys will give you a cheap price and then ask for more once they start. Nice to see know I'm not the only one earning an honest living. read more
