I hired Marvin on the recommendation of a friend, and he did an exceptional job. Every job was handled with care and explanations were given. He also made sure everything was cleaned up. I was so pleased that I did hire him more than once.
Description of Work: The first time he was hired was to fix a garage door that would not open or close at times unless something was plugged into an outlet on the patio. Sounds crazy but true. The wiring that was completed by the builders was a very poor job, but he figured it out. I brought him back a second time to replace fans in both bathrooms and the laundry room. He also took care of a doorbell problem I had.

Marvin from Carvin Electric did an excellent job on my request to replace a couple of breakers (15amp Zinsco) on the electrical panel for my parents house. He also cut off the electrical source to the pool pump (parents used to have a pool) and removed the outlet for an old wall unit air conditioner. My husband requested the outlet removal and Marvin obliged because he said the wire to the outlet was live and would be a hazard (especially for my toddler kids). He charged a reasonable price for all three services (only the first one was planned) and the job didn’t take more than an hour. Definitely would hire him again for other electrical work (got some ideas for the future).

I am just now beginning to experience issues with my place after buying nearly three years ago and I am needing to hire some professionals to assist. Marvin was excellent in his diagnosis of the issue as well as finding the parts to remedy my malfunctioning light fixture. He was always on time and and was pleasant company while he worked. He did not charge for a service call which was a breath of fresh air and he was more than fair with the price. I will definitely be hiring him again in the future. Thanks again, Marvin!

We spoke and the provider came out the very next morning at 7:30 sharp like he said. He was clean, prompt, and up front with estimates and forecast. Cleaned up after and then even called later the next just to see how they were working out. Very pleasant and professional service. Above and beyond.
Description of Work: I needed 4 ceiling fans replaced promptly as a surprise gift to my wife and family for summer. The old ones didn't work anymore.
