Hoffman Electric
Company Overview
We focus on new and remodeled electrical installations, including light commercial projects. A few of the typical tasks we handle:
1. Upgrading outdated fuse panels or Zinsco circuit breakers.
2. Installing can lights to enhance current lighting fixtures.
3. Fixing dead outlets.
4. Kitchen and bath area remodels.
I apprenticed under Walter Underhill for 5 years before earning my license and launching my own business in 2005. His work is exceptional, and he instilled in me to uphold that quality. After going independent, I have collaborated with Whitcomb Constr., Apperson & Hoog, alongside Gail Koren, realtor Chris Hodge, plus various realtors.
I’m John Hoffman, and I take pride in having a role in our community here. Our company runs a family business enterprise, so when you reach out, you'll speak with Grace, my daughter, who is the latest addition to our crew.

Recommended Customer Reviews

John is the best and most honest electricians around, John did some work on my house about 3 weeks ago and he was simply the best very professional and did an excellent job thank you John.

Hoffman recently did some work for my home, including electrical for a hot tub. They did a terrific job - very responsive and reasonable rates. I highly recommend Hoffman Electric.

Completely agree with everyone else's 5 stars. We were referred by a family member and couldn't be happier. John's crew completed work today in our new home in Novato that has some very interesting jerry-rigging going on as far as electrical. After one consultative visit we were excited to do various upgrades. John's crew was polite, professional, efficient and savvy. They were very forthcoming about anything that could potentially add to the original estimate cost-wise. In the end, we paid exactly what John proposed and are SO thrilled to have gone through with the project. New recessed lighting, new chandelier, new garage lighting, new patio lighting. Super reasonable price. Would definitely have them back for more work and would definitely recommend.

Used Yelp's new feature to get in contact with John. Super quick response and the job turned out to be smaller and less expensive than quoted. Would love to work with him again. Only downside: People seem to love him and getting an appointment sometimes can be a little bit more tricky. It's worth the wait!

I Yelped Hoffman electric about 2 year ago when we moved to Novato, ca. John is Awesome!! He definitely knows what he's doing. This house had so many electrical problems and John replaced all of it .He also put in recess lighting throughout our home. Oh my!! What a beautiful job !! My husband and I are very happy that we found John Hoffman . Very reasonable in price . Here at my home when ever I need him . I can thank Alice the other awesome half for that !! I personally as highly recommend Hoffman electric .

John just finished a lighting job for our house, everything went perfectly and we are over the moon with the new lights.
John is professional, on time, reasonable priced and very patient, a rare find in today's contractors. We would highly recommend John for any electrical issues, and we plan to have him come back for more electrical work. We are super happy that we have found such a great electrician!

Called him for work on an electrical issue at my house. Told him on the phone all the ways I tried to fix it. He encouraged me to try one more thing before having him come out. Sure enough, it worked. Now I know he isn't in the business of giving free advice. His help and effort on the phone really shows me how honest and forthright he is.
Highly recommend trusting Mate!

Would love to have given them 5 stars, but never got a chance since I was never contacted back by Hoffman after sending a couple of emails. The say within 24 hours, but now its been well over a week. I'll move on to someone else.

As everyone else has said, I called Hoffman Electric based on the yelp reviews and was completely satisfied with every aspect of John's work. He did a great job installing our three overhead lights, left everything very clean, charged a reasonable rate and was friendly to work with.

We called Hoffman Electric solely based on Yelp reviews and whaddaya know...so happy we did! Jon Hoffman came exactly on time (huge bonus points in my book!), was courteous, worked quickly, and most importantly - everything is working as it should!
When we get around to actually purchasing that motion sensor light outdoors, feels good to know that we have someone we can trust to get it done!
Thank you! Keep up the good work!
