Great! Dave supplied an estimate within a short amount of time. Dave and his apprentice arrived on time, got right to work and was very accommodating when asked to deviate from our original plan. I would definitely use again.

Dave is always a pleasure to work with. Dave is easy to get in touch with and to schedule estimates and service appointments. All calls are promptly returned. I have used Dave in the past and will continue to contact him anytime I need an electrician. I am confident that Dave uses proper methods and I have never experienced any problems with his work.

Very well. We had plans and Dave's meticulous planning and invoicing worked well with my style and we were able to plan this basement out and complete it in 6 weeks as I worked a full time job. He and I would talk in the mornings or email or text to provide status, and estimates as the project grew in size a little as we moved forward. This was mainly due to my ambitions growing as I saw things come together, and setting things up for the future. He worked well with my other contractors. I never had this level of electrical work done before, but I thought it was a little higher price than it should have been. That was gut feel, so I may be paying standard rate. The quality was high. We knew each others voice well by the end of the project, and would work together again.
Description of Work: Dave provided estimates for Electric wiring, Wall outlets, Electrical wall switches, hi hat lighting on dimmers, for the entire unfinished basement, as well as motion detectors outside the house as well as did the work. I worked with him and the other contractors to coordinate the ceiling, floor, and carpentry work and plumbing and as different areas were available we coordinated and roughed in and finished up electrical work as needed. Lighting and outlets were done for the guest bedroom, family play area, bathroorm, and utility closets.

Went great. Dave called prior to his arrival at the scheduled time. Arrived and met him and AJ. Gave me an estimate for the work and I had it done on the spot. Quickly completed the work in a professional manner. Him and AJ were very nice and I am very happy with the completed work, and the reasonable price. Will definitely use him again for future electrical work.

Dave responded to my telephone request within an hour and was able to come out and look over the situation the following week. He and his helper did come out as promised, within a few hours all the light switches and outlet did work. Soon after Dave left, I went around to check the outlet and the light switch and they did not work. I called Dave back right away and told him that the one light switch and one outlet did not work at all. He was surprised and said that he would be back in three weeks (because he had such a heavy lworkload) to check it out. Needless to say, I have since found another electrician that did find the source of my short circuit ( a light fixture that needed to be replaced).
Description of Work: repaired hall lights, 4-way & 3-way switches; repaired kitchen 3-way switch; repaired a short circuit in an outlet and a light switch.

Response from Holly Electric
The house has extensive sub-standard wiring and quite frankly, is an electrician’s nightmare. Much of the work was done by inexperienced or incompetent workers. I repaired several items while there. One light that I repaired had additional faults that occurred after we left. I offered to check it at no charge, but the homeowner called another contractor. All my workmanship carries a limited FIVE YEAR GUARANTEE. Please read the next fifty reports and you'll see that I give more than your money's worth and workmanship that's done right the first time. Thank you.

I was impressed that Mr. Marks gave me his time and advice, and it didn't cost me anyhting. He could easily have come to the house knowing the visit wasn't needed, and could have charged me a service call. Thank you.
Description of Work: Our irrigation panel blew out, and we were told that the damage had been done by excessive voltage. The panel was replaced, and we were advised to call an electrician. I called dave Marks. He called back quickly. He asked me if our lights were too bright or any other evidence of an ongoing electrical problem. When I said no, he said that there was little point in his coming to the house, since he was unlikely to find anything.

As usual (have used this electrician twice before this visit) Dave and his sidekick AJ arrived on time. Installed 3 ceiling fans (I provided fans) in three separate bedrooms. Two of the three required the installation of heavy duty electrical boxes that would support the extra weight of the fans, therefore entry into the roof crawl space was required Work performed was top notch and timely (approx. 3-1/4 hours). Clean up was super. Highly recommend this electrician.

My initial phone message was answered promptly (within an hour), and Mr Marks showed up exactly when he said he would the following day. He and his assistant were very pleasant to deal with, patient with my questions, and solved my problem quickly. They also cleaned up some unnecessary and/or untidy connections in my breaker panel, and offered advice about future wiring issues should we want to expand our house.
Description of Work: Diagnosed and repaired a tripping circuit breaker. The problem was faulty or worn wiring to an outlet.

Dave Marks (the owner of the company) came out to give us an estimate. He was prompt and took the time to understand what our lighting needs were. He presented us with the various options to accomodate our pricing constraints. His crew came out and they were extremely quick, clean and thorough. We encountered one issue with a ceiling fan where the fan clicked every time it rotated. We expressed our concerns to Dave and his crew spent an exhausting amount of time trying to fix the issue. Their efforts were appreciated and it was clear that they were driven to ensure that we were ultimately satisfied with their services. We realized at a later point, after the inital job was completed, that we wanted one more recessed light. Dave was quick to come out and add the additional light. It was a small project but he did not hesitate to come and fulfill this last request. I would enlist Dave's services again for any future lighting needs and requirements. His warranty cannot be beat and he is thorough, professional and experienced.
Description of Work: Holly Electric installed 3 ceiling fans, 15 recessed lights (between family and living rooms). The recessed lights in the family room are operated on a remote control system.
