Company Overview

Our expertise lies in new and remodeled electrical installations, including light commercial work. A few of our common services:
1. Modernizing outdated fuse panels or antiquated circuit breakers.
2. Adding can lights to supplement existing lighting fixtures.
3. Fixing outlets that aren't working.
4. Kitchen and bath area remodels.

I apprenticed under a master electrician, Walter Underhill for 5 years before obtaining my license and launching my own firm in the year 2005. He set a high standard, and he taught me to uphold that tradition. Since starting my own business, I have worked with Whitcomb Constr., Apperson and Hoog, alongside Gail Koren, Chris Hodge, among other agents.

I'm John Hoffman, and I take pride in being part of our community here. We operate a family-owned enterprise, so when you call, you'll connect with Grace, my daughter, who is the latest addition to our crew.

John has done several projects for us on several houses and I can't tell you how pleased I've been with his work. His attention to detail and the care he takes to make everything just right is impressive. I like the way he strategies and listens when you are in the planning process and then carries it through to the end.

I can't say enough good about them. They have worked on two projects for me and I would never think to call anyone else. John and his crew are polite, clean and extremely competent. I highly recommend them!

I called around looking for a electrician that would be honest and reasonable with me. After looking at Hoffman's reviews I requested an estimate. John gave me a reasonable estimate compared to other electricians in the area. It took a few weeks to make an appointment to get the work done, but that is because Hoffman electric is so popular and in demand, but it was worth the wait.

John and Alice were great, the job was done thoroughly and efficiently. In fact, John's final price ended up being a lot less because of how efficiently he and his apprentice worked.

Thanks again for the great work, can't recommend enough.

John and Alice run a tight, efficient ship. They are professional, communicative, punctual and good at what they do. Hoffman Electric installed a new electrical box at our home and coordinated permit & inspection required with the city. Nice.

For another recent job, their cost beat other estimate we had received AND resulted in job completion in one day vs three.

I highly recommend Hoffman Electric.

I have spent the past six months working on various household projects; I prepped my prior home for sale and moved into my new house. While I absolutely love the new house, it is in need of a few updates. Some of those updates included a brand new electrical panel, new sub panel, installation of multiple GFCI outlets, installation of an electrical outlet in the garage and general outlet repairs. I obtained a few bids for my projects and Hoffman Electric's bid fell somewhere in the middle. I worked with Alice to get my appointment scheduled. She was very responsive and courteous. John performed most of the work or personally directed the projects. John and his crew were tidy, detail oriented, instructive and personable. Overall, they did great work and made the process very easy for me. If I am ever in need of electrical work, I will certainly look to Hoffman Electric.
