About us

My name is James Markey. I started Markey Electric in 1988. Markey Electric was formally known as Scholten Electric Inc. established in 1920. It was and still is a family owned business serving the Los Angeles area for close to a century. We believe in offering the fairest prices to our customers and all our work is guaranteed for life. We are fully insured, licensed and bonded. Our General Liability, Auto and Workman’s Compensation insurances are available to you to view upon request. We will treat your home like it’s our own. We will be on time, clean, courteous and professional. We will provide you with up front pricing on most jobs for you to approve before any work is done. We also accept most major credit cards. Give us a call for all of your electrical needs. If we can help you over the phone with something simple, we will. On occasion, I have gotten customers up and running again just over the phone. Their thanks, appreciation and recommendations were well worth it. Our No. 1 goal is customer satisfaction. Call 818-558-1040 or fill in our online request form and we will promptly respond. Thank You, Jim Markey Markey Electric

They were good and professional. They were there on three separate days because of the nature of the work - first to do the preliminary work and then come back and finish the job. I would use them in the future if necessary.
Description of Work: I used Markey Electric to rewire our kitchen, add an outlet and run new lines from the box to the kitchen.

He arrived on time, listened carefully to the problem, took the actions to correct them and went farther by connecting the new GFI outlet to other outlets.
Description of Work: A circuit in the breaker box was tripping repeatedly, and the alarm company would call thinking that all of the power was out. The electrician replaced the breaker, checked the most likely source (a exterior transformer for outdoor lighting) and all of the other outlets of the circuit. He installed a GFI outlet in the master bathroom and wired all of the outlets in the room to the GFI.

Flawless experience. The guys were on time and left small surgically precise holes that should be inexpensive/easy to patch.
Description of Work: Installed: 1 chandelier on an existing box, 2 recessed light cans, 2 dimmer switches, 1 standard switch and 1 chandelier and a box. Punched holes and did all the wiring

The man that came out was honest and hard working. He had to get a permit to do the work and he handled everything. The price was a little higher than I would have liked it to be but I am happy with their work.
Description of Work: I had a new breaker box put in at my house by this company.

I had Jim Markey do some work at a house I own. He was helpful at that time and I gave him a good review on Angie's List. However, when I called him back to do some of the work we discussed, he would not even do me the service of returning my call. I want to take back any positive statements I made about him.
Description of Work: I put in a positive report but the next time I called the company they wouldn't call me back! I want to take back that report.

They were all so pleasant and helpful. They did their work quickly and neatly and inexpensively. I am planning on having them back in the future as we continue to remodel. I've recommended Jim to all of our family and friends.
Description of Work: Jim and his crew came in and added several new outlets and changed out some light fixtures inside and outside. We also had him pull in some new lines. He also corrected some work done by another electrician while running the new lines.

MARKEY WAS THE ONLY ELECTRICIAN WHO ACTUALLY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS WHEN I DESCRIBED IT OVER THE PHONE. ALL THE OTHERS I CALLED WANTED TO ADD NEW CIRCUITS, GIVING ME QUOTES FROM $750-$5000
Description of Work: FOUND WIRING THAT WAS INCORRECTLY INSTALLED AND FIXED IT.

WE CALLED HIM THAT MORNING AND HE CALLED US BACK WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF LEAVING HIM A MESSAGE. HE SHOWED UP WITHIN A FEW HOURS AND DID THE WORK THAT DAY. WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH HIS WORK.
Description of Work: WE HAD PART OF OUR HOUSE WIRED AND INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL BOARD HE DID SOMETHING ELSE.
