My niche is in custom residential projects, lighting, and lighting design, and I earned my California State C-10 Electrical Contractor License. I treat each project as if it were my own home or business. I am here to address all your electrical, lighting, and repair concerns. Ready to assist, Jimi.

Recommended Customer Reviews

He did a wiring job for me and the quote was lower than my other quote but I didn't know why. He did the repair after the promised date and I paid him and all seemed fine but my renter said he couldn't use the plug that Jimi had serviced. Jimi said he should have done it differently and charged me more the first time. He corrected his mistake for no charge which was honorable but it should have been done right in the first place. I was fine with a higher price and just want things done right. Later, I mailed him a plastic box to put on my meter. He kept the box which is my property and won't return my texts. He didn't keep his word and install the light fixtures by the date promised which was part of the same job. I thought he was a stand up guy but he's proven that isn't true. Do not use him. You will be disappointed.

I needed a thirty year old house updated to code. Jimi knew exactly what was needed and was clear on choices where choices were available. The work was of excellent quality and there was good communication during the job. And everything was done at a reasonable price. I would use him again.

Excellent service!! I called Jimi this morning about my ceramic kiln, which was being unresponsive. He came by only an hour later, and diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly. I'll definitely be calling him again if the need arises. Thanks Jimi!

I made an appointment with this guy a week in advance. He didn't come. I called three times to see what was going on, texted. No reply. Obviously, I cannot recommend someone who won't show up or even call to explain what's going on. Disgusted.
