Lumiere Electric

Martin is professional, honest and a skilled electrician; and a nice guy to boot! He installed a flush mount art light, moved a junction box, hung a major chandelier and ceiling fan. The attention to detail was primo: placing down protective blankets, etc. After the work was done, Martin cleaned up everything nicely. Overall, I am very satisfied with Martin’s work and ability to work with me. I would recommend Martin and plan to use him again after the holidays for additional installations and updating.

We needed to replace the old knob-​and-​tube wiring in the attic of our 1924 bungalow. Martin responded promptly to my inquiry and was able to arrange to do the job within a week. It was NOT an easy job – lots of funky DIYs and weird patch-​up jobs had accumulated over the years. Still, Martin and his crew handled it with good grace and showed a thoroughness and care for detail that impressed me. We had a slight cost overrun, but it was all spelled out to me beforehand and really not excessive given the challenges they faced. I’m also impressed with Martin’s demeanor; he’s very polite, intelligent, and strikes me as a man of integrity. His employees Rodney and Nate were also good guys to have around. Took one star off because they are not quite as meticulous as their boss; they damaged a couple of stone switch plates and mixed up the light fixtures in several rooms (put the wrong ones back in the ceiling), which is just careless. But overall we will recommend Lumiere Electric.

Lumiere Electric did a great job of updating the wiring and lighting in the second floor of our house. They replaced the remaining knob and tube wiring and installing sealed recessed light fixtures that stopped the warm air in the house from leaking into the attic. Martin Ortega is a great electrician and a reliable contractor. I would trust him completely with responsibility for a much larger job than this one.

Lumiere has done two small residential jobs for us and we have been very happy with the service and results. Martin installed a ceiling fan in apartment where the ceilings are 18 feet high — not the easiest job. He patiently and carefully completed the work. At the end of the job, we appreciated that Martin spent the extra time positioning weights on the fan blades to remove any noticeable wobble. Martin also recently installed LED recessed lighting for us, replacing old compact fluorescents. We are really happy with his work. Again, he took the extra time to position the recessed lights so they fit flush. One didn’t fit and there was a gap so Martin filled the hole in with spackle. Overall, the work Lumiere completed has been excellent. Martin is personable and provides recommendations when asked for it. You can’t go wrong with these guys.

Martin can create or fix ANYTHING. A cool, interesting guy and a real pro. He helped me wire, plumb, and set up my café, and everything is still working great 12 years later. You won’t be disappointed…

I called Lumiere for a job that I didn’t have too much hope of completing. I had a broken wire in a broken, hence rusty conduit and I couldn’t pull a new wire thru. Martin came out and was able to fish a new wire thru, and it was no small feat. Saved me tearing up the parking lot.
