About us

Paul Castro is the American Dream come true. Paul immigrated from Peru with his family in 2001 to pursue a stable and family oriented lifestyle that Peru’s declining economy could no longer provide. He learned English and entered into the electrical trade at Thomas Edison Technical School. Paul excelled with electrical work and quickly became a master electrician certified in the state of Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC. He started his own company in 2011, and has been known as a rising star in the electrical and home improvement industry in the DMV. Paul’s devotion to quality and focus on customer service has put his company on the map and makes Castro Electrical Services different from the competition, as a business that is very diversified and up-to-date on the most recent trends and regulations.

Highly recommend Castro electric. Hired to run a 240V line from my house to an electric vehicle charging station at the street. Paul called me within minutes of requesting a quote and understood what I was looking for better than I (he said the install about 1 EV charger a week). Very happy with the process and the results. Great business I will call on again.

Castro electric is extremely professional and reliable. They performed an electrical panel upgrade and did an outstanding job. The techs were very professional. I plan on hiring them again for an additional remodeling job shortly.

Paul’s response time and willingness to provide an estimate over FaceTime was much appreciated. His team showed up on time and went above and beyond to complete the project. Also stayed late to make sure our needs were met. Highly recommend.

Castro Electric Services worked with my schedule with setting up the estimate. They worked swiftly in my timeline. They were very professional, worked quickly, and cleaned up afterward. Overall, I was very happy with the whole process.

I've worked with Paul for several projects around my house in the last couple of years, from smaller jobs like installing lighting and outlets up to installing a sub-panel in my garage. I have found his prices to be fair, and the quality of work to be outstanding. Paul is extremely nice and has always shown up in person for me to perform estimates as well as to check in on the jobs being performed.

Had a "heavy up electrical" : it was done professionally and it was reasonable. Thanks to Paul and Rick and crew.

We hired this company to install a new light above our stairs. It's an old house and was not a straight forward job. They did a great job on time and for a fair price. Since they are trustworthy we asked them to install a few dimmers and a new outlet outside. The two person crew was able to complete the changes all in the same day and provided a fair and honest quote for the new work. I recommend this company.

Hired to change switches to dimmers and motion sensor, move two outlets to mount TVs and repair power to doorbell camera. Electrician was late both days. He spent an absorbent amount of time "troubleshooting"only not to repair the doorbell camera power or supply power to one of the outlets he relocated. I was promised a refund for troubleshooting since he wasn't able to fix it. About two weeks went by without the refund. Someone finally called Four days ago with an amount $70 less than what I was promised. She said she would confirm and call back. I have yet to receive a call. After the "troubleshooting", I'm faced with a flooded basement as the power to the sump pump somehow was lost. So, what should have been a $350 electrical project is now costing me over $7,500 in water damages to cleanup and restore. Potential clients beware.

Paul and his team at Castro were great. They were able to promptly schedule a visit, provided an estimate later the same day, and were able to complete the work the following week. They did a variety of tasks for me, including installing recessed lighting, rewiring and relocating switches, and installing garage lighting.
