Mark was able to squeeze in my electrical needs pretty quickly, as well, as work with my budget.

With what we needed done, we 100% thought we called the right person. Right off the bat we discovered that I purchased the wrong pendant lights for the sloped ceiling we had. While most contractors would tell you I'm sorry, I can't install these, Mark made way. Because these pendants were bought some time ago, as we were waiting on completion of some other projects, we were not able to return them so it was important to us that it work.

Mark was also the only electrician we spoke to that suggested & avoided doing considerable damage to our dry wall running wires by providing a remote solution. That saved us a lot of headache doing the repair, finding paint to match and having a torn up kitchen during the holidays.

He also provided a safer solution for our outlets that weren't grounded. Before he left, we had an out of scope request for him; some outdoor light fixtures for our garage. Mark helped install those without charging us.

We were so happy to complete our project within a day and before Christmas. We felt comfortable that he knew what he was doing and wouldn't hesitate to call him for other projects in the future.

I was looking to add recessed lighting to many rooms in my house and did some scouting around various places that could do the work. I connected with H&H Lighting based on the reviews and the on site estimate that Mark provided.

I am thrilled with how the result turned out. Mark did a great job adding brand new lighting in areas where I had no idea how it could be done. I didn't even think some of it would be possible, but not only did it get done on time, the effect the lights have on the space is fantastic. Once poorly lit rooms now resemble an art gallery in a model home. Mark had great suggestions for where to place the lights, and how many would be appropriate. I had some preconceived ideas about these things that he absolutely improved upon.

I am definitely coming back to H&H for more services, as well as more lighting in the very near future. The work was top quality, and the pricing was below the competition. And Mark is a great guy to work with. I trust what he is doing. How can you beat that?

Mark is a real pro.  He's competent, creative and conscientious.  His pricing is very fair, he cares about the quality of his work and really goes the extra mile.  Also, he's a good communicator and does what he says; shows up when he says he will and does what he says he will.  He did some exterior landscape lighting and some interior lighting at my place... and I am very impressed with him and the job H&H did.  He definitely lived up to all of his 5 star reviews!

Had an emergency this morning - my fridge wasn't working and my electrical panel was fried. Mark came over within an hour. Diagnosed the problem, fixed everything and had me back up and running right away. Super friendly, punctual and would definitely use again in the future. Highly recommend. Thank you again for saving the day!

Mark responded quickly to Yelp request for an estimate and was quick to answer my questions before deciding to move forward. Price was very competitive and with the other good reviews I was happy to use H&H. Julian showed up even a little early which was a nice change from most who show up late. We talked over the plan for the job and we decided on a better plan than the original that actually cost less (bonus!). Julian was very courteous and professional and I am very pleased with the result. Will definitely use H&H for my household electrical needs going forward.

Mark did a fantastic job on several important things at our place:

1. Installing a new 200A service panel along with a new riser, which included tear-out of the original. Both the City Inspector and the Solar company who came after him were impressed with his work.
2. Installing an EV charger along with its own 240V/50A circuit.
3. Installing new LED flood lights in the backyard.
4. Adding several new circuits to our garage to serve high load appliances. He ran multiple circuits in parallel to distribute the load.
5. Replacing a bunch of ungrounded outlets with GFCIs.
6. Reconfiguring some wonky wiring in our ceiling crawl space to work more effectively with existing switches, and a few other re-wires here and there.

Mark communicates well, is transparent about needs, costs, & standards, offers options, and his pricing is fair and competitive. After meeting with several electricians, he was clearly the right guy for our job. He also offered a lot of low-cost suggestions to optimize energy efficiency along the way. We will call him again.

Once again Mark did nice work on some modifications we needed:

1) move the 240v receptacle in the garage six feet in order for our new level 2 charger to reach the front of our new electric car

2) install two new lines for light fixtures on the exterior of our garage

3) install a new receptacle in the garage

Mark showed up early, was efficient, friendly as usual, and helped me identify an easy fix for my dimmable LED party string lights in the backyard that I was having trouble turning off all they way.

Thanks again for all of your help Mark!

New loyal customer here.  I called about having someone come out to fix a broken switch on my breaker and Mark walked me through simple troubleshooting steps that allowed me to fix for myself. Good people here, highly recommended.

We called H&H Lighting and Electrical because of all the positive Yelp reviews.  Mark did not disappoint. He took on a large project by replacing all of the subpanels in our 8 unit apartment building. His quote was fair and honest. He arrived on time each day and he kept his work area tidy. Thank you Mark. You're the best in the business!

The owner Mark was responsive at first then kept going MIA. I had to keep calling him to see if he's still coming. Cancelled on me 3 times over 3 weeks. I get that he's busy but it was a massive waste of time. Extremely unprofessional to treat customers this way. I do not recommend using this guy. I called another local electrician called Anson electric and they came out in 2 days to get everything done.

Mark Hanson is honest and reliable I had a contract with him but it didn't go through because of the problem in my end  I canceled my contract and he refunded my money. I can / will recommend him, if you're looking for honesty , reliability , electrical knowledge and experience that is Mark Hanson.

Mark was great. He responded to my initial call quickly, came out for a quote at no charge within days and on my schedule and had a reasonable quote with minutes. The install was ready in a little over a week and everything looks fantastic! He addressed all concerns and made any adjustments we requested after install. I would recommend him to anyone looking for great results, great service and reasonable pricing. Thanks, Mark.

I'd give 100 stars if I could! When every other electrician I tried eventually fell through, I heard about H&H and gave Mark a call. He didn't even make any money from me, as he told me my fan installation (and somewhat strange house wiring) is a small enough job to do myself, THEN HE WALKED ME THROUGH IT FOR FREE! Out of the kindness of his heart, he sympathized with my frustration of other companies and dedicated time on the phone and over text to be my trusted guide. I know 100% who I'm going to use next time I really have a job that I can't do myself. I can't thank Mark enough and wish the world had many more businesspeople like him!

Stellar, clever, and awesome!! Mark from H&H Lighting is amazing!!! I've owned a number of houses in multiple states and Mark is by far THE best electrician I have ever seen -- and I really put him to the test with my 'project' ... or what someone might call a very long electrical list. After calling 6-8 electricians -- all were intimidated by the volume of my project as well as the things on it (especially an old security system). When I called, Mark was courteous and arranged for a time to come out to take a look at my many things. We had moved into a home that hadn't had any electrical updates since the 1990s -- so it needed a lot (~20) of new recessed lights, trim replacements of old recessed lights, fixing weird electrical 'stuff' people had done over the years, hanging updated chandeliers in very very tall places with stairs, new fans, adding dimmers, etc. The list goes on. We had a few weird issues to contend with -- and Mark came up with some clever solutions. Mark made some recommendations on lighting too because he has a great design eye for lighting (many electricians don't know lighting placement). It makes a HUGE difference to have an electrician who knows lighting (hence the business name of lighting and electrical). The next week (giving me time to order my chandeliers and fans) Mark began work. When he said that it would take 4 days -- I thought -- that sounds right for a team. He does all of the work himself -- so that he knows every single bit of electrical -- and he is faster than a team of electricians. Mark did such a quality job -- no clipping corners. And -- to top it all off, Mark is a great person.

A few outlets in our garage went out and so we had no idea how to get it working again. We went to yelp and asked around for quotes looking to hire an electrician to help us. We explained our situation here on yelp and 4/5 places we asked either gave us a quote that was ridiculously high or asked for more info.

Mark was the only person who responded to us telling us our outlets just need a simple reset to get it working. He knew exactly how to fix it without needed any additional info. A simple fix that took 10 seconds to do ourselves and other companies out there were quoting us up to $275.

Thank you Mark! It really shows how honest and professional your business is. If we ever have any work that needs to be done, you will be first on our contact list!

I contacted H&H lighting and electric to get help with an outlet in my new place. I used the Yelp message center to get in touch and book an estimate. Mark responded quickly and was able to check out the outlet.

He was courteous and professional and helped resolve my problem. Thank you again Mark I appreciate it.

Sterling & I moved into our new home, and we're so grateful for the amazing, efficient work that Mark's done. He installed a new electric panel and GFCI outlets for us. He's reliable, deeply experienced, communicative, and on-time. Happy to recommend him for new homeowners! (Also, he's from Huntington Beach and has good hair!)

I was impressed by Mark's attention to detail and desire to do things the right way. We had to replace the bulbs in some of our lighting fixtures. He made sure to swap bulbs around such that lights that would be seen together had bulbs from the same batch, thereby minimizing any color variation that might arise. Highly recommend.

Found a reliable electrician with H&H Lighting and Electrical. Mark is responsive and was able to fit us in on such short notice. Which is what I definitely needed. He troubleshoot my breaker, replaced the fuse and is done in less than an hour. I thought it would be a much more complex issue, and I'm glad that Mark knows his electrical! Thank you Mark for saving me a lot of wasted food if we went one more day without power to our outlets.

My wife and I have been looking for an good electrician for the last few months, but just could not find the right fit until we met Mark.  We felt great about his abilities and believed we would get solid quality work.  Mark did not disappoint. We asked him to install two new lights on the outside of our garage (nothing existed before) as well as a lighted address sign and security camera, among a few other small projects.  We wanted the garage lights and address sign to be installed flawlessly and Mark did just that.  They look fantastic.  To add to the challenge we asked that a timer be installed for the lights and the address sign.  Everything turned out very well and we could not be happier.

Thanks Mark for taking care of us on this project.

Mark is everything you could ask for in an electrician--honest, talented, and punctual. He installed 12 can lights at my rental property--it was a much more involved job than originally thought, yet he didn't charge anything beyond the original quote.

I recently required his assistance with an issue that had to be addressed immediately. Before his workday was to begin, he stopped by the property at 7am to fix the problem. I highly recommend him to anyone with a need for an electrician!

Very impressed! Mark is so easy to work with. I needed a few random jobs done around a new home, install a new outlet to support a microwave, replace weird track lighting with a ceiling fan, and replace fluorescent lighting with can lights in the kitchen. He came out the same day I called to give me an estimate. The price was fair, and once he started working, the projects gave him a little more trouble than expected, but he had great solutions for everything thing that came up. I would highly recommend him for any of your lighting and electrical needs, the guy does great work!

We have this track lighting in the kitchen that the wife hates with a passion so she wanted them replaced with recessed lighting and wanted some additional pendant lights installed over the kitchen island.

I got various estimates on Yelp from electrical companies and Mark came back with the lowest estimate per light and labor. We asked could he come by for on site estimate and final price and was able to do so within a couple of days.

Professional job from beginning to end. Showed up on time, covered work area to prevent damage, finished project in time span he estimated, and thoroughly explained the controls of the lighting.

Courteous , professional, and a genuinely nice guy. Can't say enough about H & H Lighting. Will definitely be calling on Mark if we have any future electrical projects.

H&H was extremely professional and completed my home lighting project perfectly. The project was pretty complicated, and several other electricians I called weren't able to figure it out. Mark knew right away what to do, and charged me a very reasonable price for his work.

Overall, they went above and beyond to make sure my needs were met, and I finally have the lighting in my home I always wanted. Look no further for the right electricial and lighting service.

Last weekend I found myself with only two days to install recessed lighting and fans in almost every room of my house before painters were due to start work. I generally do these sorts of tasks myself for fun and to make sure they are done correctly. Years ago after a mechanic left the wheel nuts loose on my car, I swore to do all mechanical jobs myself.

However, there was no way I could finish a whole house of lighting in two days, and I certainly didn't want to source a ladder and climb up 20 feet to install lights in the cathedral ceiling. I bit the bullet and researched for a trusted electrician. Mark was knowledgeable, down to earth, and fairly priced so I trusted him with my home.

Mark and I worked alongside each other all weekend to finish everything needed before the painters arrived on Monday. What I thought would take him four days took only two. He came in at 5:30 in the morning to make sure everything was done in time which I'm very appreciative of as this was a weekend.

I inspected all of his work thoroughly through the process and everything was done cleanly and correctly, no signs of rush and no corners cut.

I has many questions for Mark about my own electrical projects and he was more than happy to discuss in great detail about how everything works and should be done. From our long chats I can tell he takes both pride and joy in his work. I learned a lot from Mark and won't hesitate to call him again.

Mark and the team at H&H are the best of the best.  Other electricians scoffed at our vague troubleshooting needs (its an old house! and I'm not an electrician myself) but Mark was on-site within a day, spending over an hour working through our mysterious issues.  He resolved one of them immediately (and for free!) and scheduled a followup to COMPLETELY REPLACE OUR PANEL within a week.  He upgraded our overloaded and poorly labeled 100 amp panel with a shiny new 200 amp panel, and worked overtime to resolve some of the extra complexity that came with our solar installation.  The combination of 1920's wiring and modern solar panels has frustrated everyone that's worked on our house in the past, but Mark was a total champ and we can't wait to work with him again in the future!  Highest of highest recommendation for H&H.

H&H did such a fantastic job switching out all the ceiling fans at my condo.  On time, professional, and left the place spotless.

Quick response time was really appreciated as I was trying to get them installed the same week I contacted him.  Highly recommended!!

Mark was very responsive to my request for appointment and was on time the next day to give me an estimate. I had recess lighting installed throughout my condo. Mark did a great job even in the harder to reach places since we have vault ceilings in two of the rooms. I definitely will be calling him for our next lighting job.

Mark was willing to come out early at 8 am before the work day started to help me out with my electrical outage in my house. He showed up a few minutes early and got right to work trouble shooting the problem (after he even tried to help me fix it on the phone). He quickly identified the problem and showed me electrical wiring issues that my previous contractor had actually cut some corners on. Since he was out already I had him rewire to my newer main panel and now I don't have a fire hazard on my house. I had no idea the older panel was even operational! Mark was in and done with his work in an hour and a half. I highly recommend him and I have saved his number for future projects. Thanks for the quick work Mark.

Mark is a great electrician despite being a Lakers fan! He was available quickly. I needed an outlet installed for my EV and he gave me a fair and affordable quote. Other estimates were crazy and were trying to tear apart my house. He did the job in the simplest way possible. This is the third job he's done and he does great work.

Mark is amazing!! He is an experienced and knowledgeable electrician and we felt like we were in good hands after seeing him trouble shoot the kitchen appliance and garage door issues that we were having.  He went beyond just the services that we had agreed to, and said he would be happy to put up our new fire alarms for no additional charge.   We already know of future projects in which we will need an electrician and Mark will be our go to guy!!

Mark is absolutely a stand up guy from start to finish. He was on time, honest about the work/pricing, and easy to work with. Due to old wiring in my house, an issue came up that wasn't his fault after his visit. He came back out a few days later and corrected everything without question.

I would recommend Mark without hesitation and he will be my first call for any future work.

Mark is incredible! In addition to installing some outdoor electrical outlets for us and a bedroom ceiling fan, Mark installed outdoor lighting in both our front and back yard. The ambiance it adds is amazing! And it's not too bright like some outdoor lighting can be -- it's subtle but makes a huge difference. Mark was professional, prompt, and honest about pricing (as well as being more affordable than other quotes we received.) I highly recommend him for outdoor lighting as well as any other electrical needs. Thanks again Mark!

Mark was as courteous and professional as you could ask for.  What started out as a simple project of us needing help installing a ceiling fan in a bedroom went so smoothly we decided to have Mark do multiple projects.  We got landscape lighting done in both the front and back yards and it looks incredible.  We were able to do this because Mark's rates were extremely reasonable-- and the best part was Mark worked more efficiently than anyone I've worked with in the past.  I won't use anyone else from here on out.  Mark's customer service is what sets him apart- he wants to make sure you're satisfied and the job is done right. Thank you so much for being so friendly and accommodating!

I recently had work done by Mark, he was referred to me by my realtor. He did awesome work! He performed a thorough inspection of my homes electric system and he determined that the circuit breakers and a few outlets needed to be installed. He was able to fit me into his tight schedule while working with my work schedule, he came after I got home from work. Great guy, honest electrician and quality work. Thanks Mark!

Lives up to the other great reviews on Yelp.  My bathroom outlets stopped working.  Mark showed up promptly at the prearranged time, efficiently diagnosed the problem and fixed it. I had a malfunctioning breaker that he replaced, and my outlets were working again in less than one hour. Will definitely call him again if I have any other electrical issues.  You can tell he has many years of experience and he gives you confidence in his abilities

So it's bound to happen sometime after thousands of transactions with vendors and it's ALWAYS in your time of need ... we just got ROYALLY screwed over by Mark and H&H Lighting & Electrical! If you want an electrician who has a complete lack of attention to detail and threatens you with a mechanics lien when he was paid but didn't finish the work, OR a contractor who over-promises and under-delivers, H&H is your company.

We found H&H Lighting & Electrical on Yelp due to their high reviews. Mark met with my husband who detailed every single thing that we needed done on our remodel. Mark wrote up an estimate with a few line items on the bigger things and absolutely NO detail on the other smaller things that needed done. We then had him back out two days later because we needed a more detailed estimate to make sure we were on the same page and we had a tight schedule. We also needed to remove items to get closer to our electrical budget, so we removed almost all of the can lights, hard-wired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, etc. in order to get closer. Mark gave us a new price to meet our budget, but no updated written estimate.

Mark gets started but WHAT'S THE FIRST THING HE DOES? The almost $1200 charge of the alarms and detector that we wanted to remove. At that point, I made him go over EVERYTHING that we discussed, which he noted on a yellow paper pad, still no actual estimate with details. Because he seemed to have a grasp of what needed to be done and was only a couple days into the project, we proceeded with him. Our mistake!

The next problem was that Mark told us it would be four days to complete the whole project, and he wasn't close to done after 8 days on the job. His first excuse was that his helper Lucas was sick and bailed on him so we gave him the benefit of the doubt and let him continue. We then found out that Lucas is a trainee and Mark doesn't really have anyone else qualified to work with him. (I'm also not sure why his license says that they're exempt from workers comp -- it says that they have no employees at this time -- Lucas is clearly an employee and should be covered by workers comp in this dangerous business).

And then there were the endless mistakes:  putting up two ceiling fixtures in the same room off-center with each other, putting in Decora light switches when we wanted standard light switches, repeatedly telling him ALL interior switches on dimmers and then not doing dimmers, installing alarm/detector wiring (that we didn't want) and the couple of remaining can lights randomly in the middle of the ceiling with no rhyme nor reason, putting a vanity light's wiring so high that the fixture would hit the ceiling, and then losing the cover to our brand new ceiling fan/light/heater combination.

The best part is Mark blames US for being disorganized when HE'S completely disorganized. Here's what he texted my husband:

The first day we met I discussed four days then you called a second meeting doubling the work then you stopped thing with deciding no can lights this job is to rushed and has been unorganized  in 98% done and if your that unhappy with us then maybe we need to stop all put in the few breakers that are left a not do all the add inside

First, I don't even know what he's trying to say other than calling us unorganized. We are the EPITOME of organization here ... we are just at the mercy of good contractors who need to be able to self-manage since we are not yet living at the location. Second, we didn't double the work and we actually removed stuff ... this is how wrong he was all the time. Mark never said that it would extend the number of days that he needed to work, and he put our whole tight and very organized remodel plans in jeopardy. Everyone was waiting on Mark, but then he said he had bronchitis so we had to move on with another electrician.

This is not by any means over and we've already taken up his lack of a written estimate, having an uninsured employee, etc. with the CSLB and then we'll go to the BBB as well. We can't let this happen to anyone else. AND the mistakes our new electrician has discovered are enough to make us want to pursue a full refund -- old breakers installed rather than new ones in a sub-panel, light switches controlling nothing, things taken out that shouldn't have been.

Anyway, it's such a complete waste of time and effort to even write something like this when we have a major remodel underway with 5-6 talented contractors on-board, BUT I feel like it's my duty to be clear about the lack of accountability and risk to your home without workers comp. Just looking up a contractor on the CSLB is not enough ... be sure that you get a written estimate detailing everything and NEVER let a contractor without workers comp have an employee on site. Licensed does not equal insured OR being accountable for your actions OR being a good business person.

I just had a great experience with H&H.  I had a lot of work done over the course of a few weeks after closing on a property before moving in.  I got a new electrical panel, under cabinet lighting, canned lights for a few rooms, and I had a lot of fixes done for the prior owner's substandard work.

Everything went great, and Mark was always keeping me up to date and showed up on time, every time.  There was no funny business, just straightforward work and pricing.  I won't be hesitating to call back if I need more work done in the future.

Yard transformed! Mark did an awesome job lighting my front and back yards with LED. He shows up on time, quotes a good price and does all the work himself in one day. He also recommended garage door lights that look great, If you need landscape lighting then call Mark and you will not be disappointed. Highly Recommended from someone that owns rental houses and works a lot with contractors.

Made an appointment over a month ago since H&H said they were booked out a month. He asked me to send pics of what I wanted to install & measurement of how high the ceiling is. Did that & sent it to him, then no answer. Figured he was just busy so I left it alone. Called him a week before appointment just to confirm he was still coming out to do the installl, but he did not respond. I sent him message on yelp & text...still no response. Very disappointed on Mark's lack of response. I'm so glad I found another electric company to do the job.

One of the challenges of relocation is finding vendors as good as the ones we left behind in our old home town. (See Maine Electric of Livermore.) We absolutely lucked out when we contacted H&H. Mark came to our 30-year-old house weeks after we'd bought it and went over the entire electrical system, fixing things that were either in disrepair or had been badly done in the past. Some of these problems were actually dangerous. He also installed smoke/CO alarms, which the house did not have.

Now that Mark has fixed what was either in disrepair or downright shoddy, we're looking forward to having him come back and install new ceiling fans, ceiling lights, larger outlets, and whatever custom lighting we decide on.

Very highly recommended!

Excellent service!  Excellent quality design, innovative materials and installation.  Mark is definitely a true expert in outdoor lighting and a really nice guy.  He was even able to repurpose some of my old lights to add drama and impact without breaking the bank.  I wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone who wants to truly make their property shine!

Mark from H&H did a dynamite job. Delivered as promised. Worked through the job until completely finished without leaving to do other jobs.

The work included retrofit for LEDs can lighting. Installation of new ceiling fans and running of ethernet cabling. Quality work and cleanliness with fair pricing.

Mark was outstanding. I do not use this word lightly.  I had some exterior lights that I wanted replaced and dimmers installed on them. Mark showed up on time and was very easy to talk to. He was clear about the price and the time frame This work was done on time and on budget. The price was quite reasonable. It looked great.  I then opted to have some landscape lighting installed. This added quite a bit of pizzazz to my yard which I did not anticipate. There were some small snags along the way- but Mark solved the issues promptly.  Pride in one's work is the sign of a great contractor. If I need electrical work done in the future he will be the first person that I would call

Mark has been a delight to work with. He communicates promptly and stands by his work. We had an electric range delivered that the delivery company hooked up incorrectly. Mark was able to not only quickly identify the problem, but insure everything was hooked up safely. He also replaced our old crusty fifty-year-old breakers with shiny new ones. We will definitely be calling him when we're ready for recessed lighting. Thanks H&H!

I can't tell you how happy and satisfied I am after dealing with Mark and H&H lighting.  Mark was friendly, on time and professional.  He answered my call right away when I first started calling around for an electrician while some places took days or never called back.  His price was reasonable from what I can tell.  He showed up on time, finished the job as expected and even threw in a couple free or discounted upgrades.  If I need lighting or electrical services in the future I will definitely call Mark again.

Mark is a great electrician and friendly guy. I had to replace my Zinsco Panel to something safe and at the same time upgrade the Amperage.
He provided me the best quote. The job was excellently executed by Mark. He knew what he was doing and SDGE and City Inspector was impressed with his work.
I will certainly use Mark for all future electrical needs. He is punctual and amazingly quick in responding through his iOS devices. This is key as good and fast communication is key in good customer service. Thank You for the outstanding service.

We hired Mark to completely rewire our house and remove the ancient wiring from the 1920s.. He did a great job, worked around our work schedules (we work nights and sleep odd hours) and was an all around great guy to work with! I am a hobby woodworker and Mark set up a separate breaker just so I would have power in the garage while he was working on the rest of the house! He also installed landscape lighting beyond what we had imagined, making our yard look like a hotel property. I'm hoping for no further electrical issues, but if anything comes up, I'm calling Mark! I would recommend him to anyone that needs an electrician!

My fiancee' and I are satisfied customers 110% ...accurate quote, great price, on time service and quality work. Mark is the greatest electrician in the area, there is a reason Mark has so many 5 stars!! Our home was probably one of the most difficult to work on. We hired Mark to do a complete re-wire (which we have no crawl space in our home and that was a major challenge all on its own), he also installed over 30 dimming light cans throughout the home, a complete electrical panel was installed in our garage aka Lewis's man-cave around 15 new outlets and did drywall last minute for us with literally hours notice of request.

His work ethic was admirable as he worked during the hottest days last summer when the temperatures exceeded 100+ especially in our home that has NO CENTRAL AIR or good insulation!! He was up and at the house simply 'getting the job done' within the promised time and with quality every step of the way.  I wish all people in the trades were this outstanding. Myself being OCD I loved how clean he was and made sure every speck of dust was gone by the time the job was done. This was something that was going to be a concern of ours having to clean up afterwards but nope Mark made sure it was spotless!!

Lewis and I are people who literally will read yelp reviews for hours when looking to have work done on our home and I am so happy I did because no other Electrician compared. We knew he was the right choice as soon as we met him for the initial quote/walk through. Mark was not only professional but one of the most kind, funny and just genuinely all around good people Lew and I have had the pleasure of meeting, which makes the working relationship that much better. No one likes to deal with anyone who has a nasty attitude or gives you the feeling they don't enjoy their job, it was clear Mark was proud of his company and showed it in his work. I legitimately wish we had before and after pictures to show the difference.

It was great to find a professional who takes pride with the details of his work, dedication,  who is trustworthy and at the end of the day making sure all that was promised was delivered. With all sincerity, One Good Electrician deserves a 5-star rating, plus some! To Mark ...Lewis and I TRULY thank you for your diligence, creativity, affordability and great professional care and courtesy!! Looking forward on working with you again!!

Mark was wonderful in replacing existing landscape lighting with LED lights and replaced the transformer with a solar sensor, so no more readjustment of the timer to align with Daylight Savings!

The yard is now well lit and brighter!

Mark was efficient, thorough, and explained everything well.  I thought pricing was reasonable.

I hired mark in November to install landscape lighting around my house. Lights look great but only installed 28 of the 30 I paid for. I called, texted and emailed numerous times for 2 months to have him come back to install the other 2 lights. He eventually added the missing lights. People have things going on outside of their life so gave him the benefit of the doubt. I had another issue with a light that may have been due to a landscaper accidentally cutting the line (not sure) and he fixed that at no charge which was great but it took a month to get ahold of him. So the lights look great but its very hard to get him back here if there is an issue. His price was comparable to others.

Great experience. We contacted a couple places to find an electrician that would install recessed lights in several rooms in my mother's condo. Mark spent the time to walk us through the process over the phone. When we met him, he was professional, friendly, and offered great suggestions. He completed the job in a timely and efficient manner (2 days). Since we were not available to meet him while the job was in progress, he texted us pictures too, which was really helpful. Thanks Mark for a job well done.

My wife and I recently purchased our first home, which was built in the 60's.  Our home inspection came back with quit a few issues with the electrical in the home, the main concern being grounding and no GFCI outlets anywhere in the home.  I had called several electricians who informed me that I needed to update the entire electrical system in the home, which would cost me roughly $15,000.00.  Mark from H&H was able to come out to my home the same day I called him and conducted a safety inspection. He walked me through our house and helped me prioritize what was most important.  He was able to come out to our home the very next week to start the job.  Mark showed up on time every morning and worked extremely hard to make sure everything we needed done was completed.  Mark updated the breakers in the main panel and interior panel of our home, updated and grounded ever single outlet inside and outside, installed LED can lighting in the living room as well as build and install ceiling fans in all four of our bedrooms.  My wife and I were extremely happy with everything he did and appreciated his honesty and passion for making sure our home was safe for our family.  We will definitely work with Mark for an future electrical needs we may have.

When you need a really great electrician, you are very lucky to find Mark at H&H Lighting and Electric. Mark is the epitome of professional, easy to work with, responsive, reasonably priced and efficient. I couldn't believe he had hundreds of reviews and they were all 5 star, but it's totally deserved. My only reservation about posting such a great review is that I might have difficulty getting on his schedule for the rest of the work I need to do! I highly recommend Mark's business services. You won't be disappointed.

Mark is a fantastic electrician and a great person.  We had an oven that was tripping the circuit breaker and he was able to diagnose the problem very quickly.  He explained what he was doing to test the oven and the test results so that we could follow along and understand our options.  We also had some electrical outlets with loose contacts that needed to be replaced, and Mark went out of his way to explain to us different types of outlets, as well as their pro's and con's.  We hired Mark to replace the electrical outlets, and he upgraded us to childproof outlets at no additional cost.  We'll be having Mark back to do additional work at our home soon.

Mark at H&H saved Christmas after I somehow managed to blow out the master bedroom circuit after doing some home improvement projects. He was the only one to return our call within an hour, cleared his calendar to help us through our electrical emergency, and stayed later than he had anticipated. I think he thought he'd be in and out, but after over five hours of tracing every circuit, taking apart the plugs, replacing wiring caps and more, he managed to fix the issue.  Thank you friend!

When I had Mark assess & completely replace all of my 1920's knob and tube wiring in my house, I was very nervous because I knew it was going to be a big job. Mark was great! He took his time explaining the entire process so I would know what to expect. He was very professional, easy to talk to & I never felt like I was asking silly/dumb questions. Mark removed & installed a new panel, completely new wiring for the entire house & added lighting to the front yard that looks fantastic! I would definitely hire him again! Good guy & solid work!

It took a while to figure out what was going on with the wiring in my condo, but experience and knowledge led us to the right answer. He was very easy to get along with, and even gave me some tips on how to prevent further incidents around the house. Overall VERY pleased with how things turned out. Would definitely recommend.

We had just purchased our condo and went through, deciding which fixtures stayed and which had to go. Well, unfortunately that meant that most of them had to go - I think these were the original fixtures from the seventies haha. Anyway, we got a reasonable estimate and they had someone out to our place pretty fast. They replaced every fixture and repaired some old ceiling lights as well. Everything looks so modern and we don't have to worry about something catching fire! Professional work all the way!

Mark got back to me on Saturday after I left a voicemail late Friday. I was impressed with the timeliness of his response and appreciated his willingness to accommodate my short timeframe for installing some light fixtures in my kitchen. He showed up right on time, was friendly and got right to work. Within about 30 minutes I had 3 lights installed and working perfectly.  On top of that great service, he ended up charging just over 2/3 of his original quote because the work was easier than anticipated. Excellent work and overall experience. Thanks Mark!

The two best words to describe the service given by Mark of H&H Lighting & Electrical would be fast and efficient.  That's not to say he isn't cordial and friendly. He definitely is. He arrived promptly, greeted warmly and proceeded to work with speed and proficiency.  He asked what the problem is and went to town. He gave alternative solutions to issues with prices and ways to save on future work.  I'm glad he took the time to deal with the small job I had for him when he could probably make a lot more money on a bigger one.

If only there was a 6 star rating.
I was referred to H&H lighting by a neighbor. Good old word of mouth reference. I had been telling my neighbor that I had some electrical issues at the house that I'd been putting off getting fixed, but had just recently had a couple of local companies come out and give me an estimate. Admittedly, I'm not an electrician. But I guess I have a sense of what the services should cost. And I was telling my neighbor that the few companies that I'd had out to the house,...they were quoting above, well above, what I was expecting. My neighbor told me about his experience with Mark and H&H Lighting and encouraged me to call. I did and am I ever glad that I did!
Mark, the principal of H&H, came to the house and as I was told to expect, he was very obviously easy going, very knowledgable, and just had the type of personality and demeanor that put me very much at ease. He took a quick look at my list of issues and provided me with a quick quote. Not only was it the lowest amount that I'd been quoted so far, it was slightly below what I was expecting. And he was able to complete the work that day! So, what had been a thorn in my side and on my mind for way too long,...Mark took care of it very expeditiously and for a very fair amount.
Well. That's how I met Mark. And that was actually several months ago. Then about a month ago, I put aside a little money and really wanted to add some landscape lighting to my front and backyard. You know who I called. Mark, of course. But for my own due diligence, I called a couple of other companies that specialize in landscape lighting too. Not surprisingly, H&H Lighting's quote was the most attractive (aka least painful). I awarded H&H Lighting the job and what they did was nothing short of spectacular. It makes such a huge difference and now my friends and I often opt to hang out in the yard in the evening because it's such a great vibe.
Probably the best thing that I can say about Mark and his company of H&H Lighting is that prior to my experience with him, I'd only heard of such positive experiences, and/or seen them in the movies. I was pretty sure that positive experiences like this were an urban legend. Nope. It exists. If you have electrical repair needs, and/or a new electrical or lighting project on your list of things to get done,....you must call Mark at H&H Lighting.

Mark did a great job on our outdoor landscape lighting project.  He showed up on time with samples of quality brass fixture lighting just like I was looking for.  His pricing was very competitive and the install was done in a couple of days.  After shopping a few others I was very happy to have chosen Mark for this project. Professional, competitively priced and  and courteous. Once my backyard pool in complete I will be hiring Mark to install the lighting there as well.

Nobody WANTS to call an electrician when they have a problem, but I am ever so pleased I called H&H when that time came.

Fit me in early and arrived on time.  Thoroughly impressed with level of professionalism.  Very appreciative of how straightforward and clear he was about what the problem was and how it needed to be addressed.  It helped me feel comfortable with the information and at no point did I feel like I was being taken advantage of.

Hopefully I won't have to call again, but if I do--I won't hesitate to call H&H again.

Mark more than met my expectations for service and professionalism today.  I just bought a home that has outdoor lighting but none of the lights were working.  Mark came out and was on time and did a quick review of the situation.  He presented several options but at the end of the day we decided that all the lights needed to be replaced because they were cheap and in terrible condition.  I told Mark I was having a party the following day so he asked if he could do the job the same day and by 1 pm he had replaced 21 lighting fixtures, replaced the timer and added a photo sensor and replaced some wiring that had been destroyed...and on top of the service Mark is a nice guy.  I would recommend H&H without reservation.  I am looking forward to tonight to see how awesome the lights will look.

We can't say THANK YOU enough, to Mark, who came out to do our lighting and ceiling fans yesterday! Our house looks and feels so amazing, it has us kicking ourselves for not doing it sooner. Mark is extremely professional, efficient, productive, and a very talented and skillful electrician. He was very communicative, and prompt in his replies, and I loved that he was so thorough and confirmed to remind me what time he would be arriving. He is a man of his word and he follows through. His laid back, kind, and easy going demeanor were just the added bonus that you don't expect from someone coming out to do hard work on your house. Mark installed 6 can lights, with a dimmer switch, and 3 ceiling fans, and he started in the morning, and was done by very early afternoon. He warned me ahead of time of the possibility of little hiccups in the project, and what the cost would be associated with them, but I'm thankful to say, that all went so smoothly, and he didn't run into any issues with our home. Our house feels like a completely new home because of the amazing new lighting, and we are just loving it! We truly can't get over how 3 ceiling fans have cooled our house down so much, that we haven't had to use the air conditioning. Thanks again Mark, we love love love the results of the work you did on our home, and we can't wait to refer our friends and family to you! We highly highly recommend Mark for your electrical needs...he really knows his stuff!

Mark was by far the most friendliest of electricians I have dealt with, I first started with smaller projects with other electricians and they were a little shady and I had to buy everything myself. They still charged a lot for installation, they did not even give me a description on specifications of the items I needed to purchase so I just bought what I thought looked nice. So this caused me returning to the store to return and exchange back and forth. With Mark and H&H everything was purchased for me, none of the hassle, even the installation of my upgraded circuit breaker panel was a streamline process. I just got my solar installed yesterday and the installation team said that I was lucky that everything was already done properly and did not need any additional work. I gave Mark my long term goal, and he ensured everything was done and he surpassed my expectations. My house now feels like a upgraded and modern home. Definitely a reason why it was top of the list on Yelp. I don't normally post in regards to positive reviews but do it on exception of stellar business practices. So now I have a hot tub hook up, new outlets, and lights, and a properly grounded house to save even more money with my solar installation. If you are preparing for solar, or want a more modern look definitely give him a call and he will modernize your home and prepare you for savings.

H&H provided truly fantastic support to our young family on short notice just before the holidays. We needed some help with updates to our fuse box associated with a new appliance on short notice. Mark stopped by on his way home and was able to help us out right away. Mark arrived when he said he would, explained the scope of work required and helped us understand the changes to the system before he left.

Overall our experience was terrific and we will certainly call H&H again. Highly Recommended! Thanks Mark!

I received numerous bids that seemed pretty high for what work I was looking to get done. I got referred to Mark by another gal in the neighborhood and decided to have him come out and give me a bid. He actually beat the prices of the other bids and offered to rewire a few old plugs I had for free. I needed two ceiling fans put in and some outdoor lighting for my walkway. I am very pleased with his work and my entrance walkway looks amazing. I was going to go with some regular lighting, but Mark showed me the new lighting that is more modern and I am very pleased! I've gotten lots of compliments in the neighborhood. I don't have to worry about my old plugs while plugging in my hair straightener now. Since there is no AC in San Diego near the beach, the ceiling fans are perfect in this heat. Thanks again Mark & I would refer him.

Mark did an awesome job fixing my ballast and lighting situation, was very prompt with his work, and was very friendly and awesome to me and my staff! I would recommend him to anyone who needs electrical work done for their home or business. Thank you Mark for your thoroughness.

These guys are fantastic! I needed an SOS electrical problem fixed so that I could use my AC during an intense heat wave. I'm 6 months pregnant and was dying with the heat. Mark, the owner called me back right away and came out the very next morning early and fixed everything quickly and perfectly. Will replace all of my LED lights with them next and they will be my go to electrical company from here on out!

Mark showed up on time (even after dealing with the painful Hillcrest steet parking situation) and got the job done perfectly. We had a chandelier that needed to be replaced and he did it within a matter of minutes. Extremely nice guy who knows what he's doing. Competitive prices. Would reccomend him to anyone. Thanks Mark!

Mark was quick with a quote and he had great suggestions for upgrading to LED lighting. His work included instaling all new outlets, updating lighting, installing new lights, and updating circuit breakers. He was prompt and provided awesome service.

I cannot give a lower rating, but if I could I would. Made an appointment, waited and no one showed up. No phone call to cancel or reschedule. No matter what the quality of the work is if unreliable it is simply rated at its lowest. Stay away from such unreliable business. Plenty others...

Would definitely recommend!!! I had a blown fuse/tripped circuit that I couldn't figure out, and had no power anywhere in the house. Called this number, and first he helped me troubleshoot a few things over the phone in case it was an easy fix. When I still couldn't fix the issue, he came by to take a look. Very friendly, professional, and on task. Was there about ten minutes and problem solved! Would 100% use this service again!! Thank you!

This past Thursday, I plugged in one too many appliances into one of the bedroom sockets. I lost all power on that side of the house. I then called 5 to 6 electric company's, and no one was available for same day service. I finally called H&H and spoke to Mark. Instead of coming out and charging me $175 dollars to reset the circuit breaker, he told me over the phone how to fix the problem. Now I know how to do it myself if it were to happen again. I will now use H&H company for any and all repairs and projects that I have in the future.This small act of sheer kindness has restored my faith in humanity. At least for now ;)

After having just bought a place, my wife and I wanted to move in as soon as possible, and wanted to get recessed lights installed prior to moving in furniture. H&H was wonderful to work with, and was able to accommodate the narrow time window we had. The LED lights they installed look great, and we'd have no qualms calling them again for future work.

Mark is an excellent electrician with an attention to detail craftsmanship. He arrived to my house and installed recessed lighting throughout the house for and very low and competitive price. The house looks so much better. He also corrected and completed work that the last electrician had worked on. He will beat any quote significantly and not put in less towards his work. He is very professional and will arrive on time or sooner. I have already recommended him to friends and family. Awesome work, great price, can't say more!

These guys literally saved my business! These guys were working on replacing my circuit breaker on a Saturday when a fuse caught on fire (completely unrelated to the work they were doing) due to the extreme heat we've been having. These guys were quick on their feet and put out the fire, saving my whole warehouse! These guys were professional, prompt, and got the job done (and then some!).  I highly recommend them and will be using their services for all my future electrical needs.

Edit: I previously wrote a review complaining that Mark did not show up to an in-home consultation that I had scheduled, and I wasn't able to reach to see what was going on. Mark did get back to me a couple days later and explain that he was called out on a family emergency. While the missed appointment was annoying given that I had to come from OC to SD for this appointment, I understand that things come up, and I can't hold that against Mark/H&H.  Prior to this, Mark had been by far the most responsive and helpful electrician I had talked to about our work (out of about 5 San Diego companies), so the missed appointment was completely out of character and I kinda figured something had to have happened.  Since he's gotten back to me, Mark has gone out of his way to reschedule the appointment on short notice and he has made himself available at non-traditional working hours and on our schedule.  It shows class and a dedication to customer service, in addition to the top notch work you'll see people gush about in all of the reviews. I'm glad we were able to get this resolved.

I look forward to the next opportunity to hire Mark for a job at our house in La Jolla. I reached out to Mark before the 2017 Christmas holidays to get an estimate on front yard lighting, both functional and accent. Mark was responsive and reasonably priced.  He installed accent flood lighting on our front yard palm trees, and he also added in flood lighting in the interior courtyard and a floodlight that is dimmable by remote. first time I used it, had a problem with 2 bulbs and the flood light was too white (LED style).  Mark came down the next day and fixed everything to our taste, and he even included a few things at his own cost.  would hire Mark again in a heartbeat.  thanks Mark!

I would highly recommend Mark at H&H Lighting for any electrical or lighting needs.  Mark provided top notch service.  I needed some outdoor electrical repairs as well as the installation of some new outdoor lights in my front and backyard.  Mark gave me some great recommendations and has my front and back yard looking great at night now.  Mark even came back to my house to change out some lights outside that I felt were too bright and added an additional light in my front yard at my request  He made a 3rd trip out to my house to make these changes, and did it all without any additional charge.  Mark is very knowledgeable, thorough and friendly.   I will definitely be calling H&H again for any future electrical or lighting needs.

Mark is fantastic.  He came out to my house on short notice to provide an estimate for free for a litany of items.  Mark is very reasonably priced compared to other electricians in the area and knows his stuff.  Shortly thereafter, I had Mark out to complete a number of the projects which he did expertly and efficiently.  Everything came in as previously quoted and he did not try and upsell anything.  I live in an old (1930s) house and Mark knew the ins and outs of how wiring was done in that era, what had been updated and what needed updating.  He provided a lot of good information and took the time to answer a number of my questions.  I will definitely be having Mark out soon to continue a number of the projects we discussed.  I highly recommend anyone who has electrician needs give Mark a call.

I called H&H for an electrical issue that turned out to be more complex to diagnose, but still minor issue.  No need to replace electrical panel and other wiring. He took his time to find the issue and his price was very reasonable. As a women its nice when a man treats you with respect and doesn't over charge you. I had someone come out earlier for a quote on the same job and he was going to charge me over $5,000!! When all I needed was something minor done and it cost less then $350 with H&H. They are trust worthy and I will never use anyone else and would recommend to everyone especially women.

When hiring a contractor I look for the following things: customer service skills. Are they courteous, friendly, communicate well, and do they show up when they say will.  Do they have deep experience in their area. Do they give value and a reasonable bid and timeline for work completed. And importantly, do they stand by their work, and are you able to solve a problem with them. Problems and unexpected things are bound to happen, but can you work together for a reasonable outcome? What is their guarantee when all work is completed and payment has been made. Mark has all of these qualities and more. Having been a home owner of an older home, I can recognize the contractors that can work on complex things, especially electrical things. Mark installed beautiful exterior lighting in my home and also fully replaced the electrical panel that was about 30 years too old. The house looks spectacular at night and also adds security. Mark knew exactly what to do. He re-stuccoed the outside of the house where the new electrical box went and labeled all the circuit breakers with me. Consider Mark when looking for an electrician and you will be glad you did.

Mark is really a great electrician for all the reasons that are important to me. When I called him for an estimate on recess lighting, he was there within 24 hours. I hired him that night, and he was there and had installed 8 recess lights the next day. He's a nice guy and is really knowledgeable about what he does. Finally, he gave me the best price of all the estimates I received. He's reliable, efficient and does a clean job for a great price. I'm planning on going with H&H electric for all my jobs from now on.

I have an older home in which I had an unusual electrical problem, at least it was unusual to me. I called several electricians I found on the internet. It was late in the afternoon. Mark was the only one who returned my call. He was at my house the next day. He fixed everything and was very safety conscious.  Mark was very easy to talk to and explained everything well. After looking at the website, I asked him to come back and make some changes in my interior lighting. I believe he is completely trustworthy and dependable.  I am very glad I have found Mark.

So very happy. Have spent the past 1 1/2 yrs transforming my backyard hill into a comforting get away & Mark from H&H Lighting & Electrical help bring it to life. I now have beautiful path lights on my rail road staircase that ascends the yard. Beautiful up lights on my majestic eucalyptus trees. Also a beautiful gazebo chandelier & active pump to my pagoda fountain that is all tied into programed evening lighting in the backyard. It looks magnificent. Mark's years of experience as a certified electrician really shows. He was honest & up front about what was achievable, & I'm completely confident in the safety standards he applied. He is very professional, on time, & provided reasonable & competitive quotes. He will not surprise you with hidden cost at the end of the job. I highly recommend him & will definitely use him for any future electrical needs. Thank you Mark, I love my yard.

Not only was mike able to quickly resolve our electrical issue in the same day, he offered to return the following week when our AC went out to ensure it wasn't an electrical issue, which it wasn't. Great service and great results!!!

I called up Mark on a Friday evening and he offered to come over first thing the next morning. I had a circuit in my condo that wasn't receiving any power. It turns out that whoever did the original electrical in our place did some funny stuff in mixing and splitting rooms among different circuits. He ended up finding a tripped GFI that shouldn't have been part of the circuit. For such a simple solution, he cut me a deep discount on his visit. Professional top notch guy! Highly recommended!

Mark was very efficient and nice! He was a real pleasure to work with! Granted my landlady found him and did all the research to get him here, but he was super knowledgeable and helpful with my electric needs! He was very personable too!! That to me seals the deal!! This guy should be your electrician!

Excellent service and professional expertise! I called Mark requiring same-day service for multiple issues. He accommodated my schedule, showed up promptly, and was able to diagnose and repair all issues within 30 minutes. He answered all of my questions and explained what he was doing throughout the process. When I asked how he knew exactly which outlet was causing the problem, he responded, 31 years of experience. It would have taken me 31 years just to find the problem! highly recommend H&H.

Mark was very friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. I highly recommend this master electrician! He responded to our call for assistance in a timely manner and was efficient in figuring out the problem- only one room in my house was without power and the issue was not the breaker box- he was able to troubleshoot and find the issue in no time, all while wearing a smile despite the problem not being a simple matter.

I had a great experience working with Mark!  He was always on time, worked thoroughly and made sure the job was completed and in working order before leaving.  He had to come back due to some finicky lights, but he did so willingly.  The 1990s track lighting we had is now gone and has been replaced with recessed lighting.  He removed the old and put in the new, and the house looks completely different and updated.  Mark also hung a fan and chandelier, added an outlet above the fireplace, and moved some light switches that were in awkward places.  I would recommend Mark to anyone I know; his prices are beyond fair, he is very easy to work with, and he will make sure you are happy with the work.  Thank you for everything!

Great experience with H and H Lighting and Electrical.  I booked and scheduled straight from Yelp and Mark was on time and installed my lights fast and exactly how I wanted, for less money than I was expecting to pay.  I am going to use H and H Lighting for my future light installs and electric work without a doubt.  A+ experience and great value.

Mark is awesome!  We had a small electrical fire and Mark came out the same day (which was a Sunday) to fix it.  He ended up rewiring our entire house that same week for a reasonable price.  He and his associate were always on time, polite and did a great job.  They cleaned up after themselves and left our house better than they found it (fixing a gate that was broken and patching up some drywall that needed it). After they were done there were a couple of things that weren't working and we sent an email and they came back and did all of the patch-ups at no extra charge.  I couldn't recommend H&H more highly - they are great.

OMG people.  You need to be careful about who you hire as an electrician.  I had a previous company (NOT H&H Lighting) botch  an electrical job royally.  THANK GOD for H&H Lighting & Electrical Services to the rescue!  The previous electrician caused a FIRE in a stone wall that I put up at the bottom of my driveway when a wall light was installed. That guy blamed it on the wall builder and wouldn't even correct the problem!!!  MARK of H&H Lighting & Electrical Services is the complete opposite in character!!!  He is about the nicest guy you could ever meet.  He fixed the previous problem and also put in an entire electrical system for my electrical gate, added on wall lights, and pillar/security/gate opening pillar which was way more complicated than II ever realized.  He came over on short notice as I was in a bind because the concrete driveway contractors were scheduled to pour concrete in my driveway  over the electrical the next day and so I needed electrical work really fast.    Mark was the only electrician who was able to make it out to my remote Fallbrook home on an extremely hot humid Friday afternoon to take care of the job. He did this after his full schedule work day to accomodate me in my emergency need for an electrician.   He amazed me with his excellent workmanship and skills.  He truly is a master at doing electrical work.  He was so nice that even my dog Crazy Daisy adored him and she doesn't like very many strangers.   This electrician is a  treasure in a world where quality work at a fair price is hard to find.  Mark was a pleasure to do business  with and I will definitely call him again in the future.  I noticed that 99% of his reviews are positive which is amazing for anyone doing business in the world today.

Really great workmanship.  I had a few dimmer switches and other electrical switches swapped out.  Good price for the work done.  Mark was personable and very experienced.  He actually repaired work done by another electrician - so it was nice that everything looks good and is correctly installed.

Mark and H&H Lighting and Electric were fantastic! Mark came out in a timely manner, gave a thorough inspection of my home prior to purchase, and gave a correct way forward for repairs. My home was evidently in shambles (electrical wise) and Mark's inspection helped us negotiate the price down because of incorrect wiring done during the remodel. His quote to repair the horrible work done prior, was very fair and straight to the point. My father was an electrical contractor for almost 40 years, and after meeting Mark and walking through the home, I was more than satisfied and confident in his abilities. He completed the work in less than 2 days and even completed a couple of extra requests at little, to no costs! I highly, highly recommend him and his team! As a result, I will be hiring him to complete all of the electrical work on our addition next year! Easily a no brainer to hire these guys!

This review is way overdue.  We hired H&H Lighting in April 2016 to do multiple projects in our home requiring electrical elements in the interior & exterior.  Mark H. is the ultimate professional!  Mark added pendant lights above our kitchen island that came out so beautifully, our island has become the focal point in our kitchen.  Mark is very skilled, experienced, easy going and honest.  We really lucked out when we found Mark to do our multiple projects.  We did our research and spoke to several electricians and ultimately decided to hire Mark.  Mark stands by his work and his customer service skills are exceptional.  Mark replaced all the ceiling fans in all our bedrooms, added/replaced exhaust fans in bathrooms & laundry room, replaced light fixtures in bathrooms, added the pendant lights in kitchen, several chandeliers, exterior lighting in front & back yard.  Everything turned out as we expected.  If any issues came up, there was never any doubt in our mind about Mark's ability and willingness to take care of problems to our satisfaction.  Hiring a competent, skilled and honest contractor is not an easy task, we searched for a while before we hired Mark.  We highly recommend H&H Lighting for all your electrical projects.  You will not be disappointed.  We plan on hiring H&H Lighting again soon to complete another project in our home.  THANK YOU H&H LIGHTING, YOU ROCK!!!
