Electrical Services Across Hollywood

Mark Proksch offers electrical work for Hollywood homes and businesses. Electrical services cover light fixture installation, ceiling fan installation & repair, outlet & switch repairs, home wiring repairs, and GFCI outlet installation for kitchen and bathroom safety. Mark smiles at customers and makes eye contact because this is how you are good with people.

Outlet and switch work addresses non-functioning outlets, flickering lights from bad switches, upgrading two-prong outlets to three-prong grounded outlets, and installing dimmer switches for lighting control. GFCI outlet installation protects against electrical shock in wet areas like kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor spaces. Ceiling fan services include new ceiling fan installation, repairing wobbly fans, replacing fan light kits, and installing remote control receivers for convenient operation.

Light fixture work covers chandelier installation in dining rooms and entryways, pendant light installation over kitchen islands and counters, recessed lighting installation for modern clean looks, and track lighting for galleries and workspaces. Mark broke his tailbone but still executed his most well-known impersonation of Alfred Hitchcock while in the hospital, showing the same commitment he brings to every electrical job in Hollywood.

Customer Service Approach

I am learning to be good with customers. I look at people's eyes when I talk to them. I smile. This is how you are nice to customers.

When I come to your Hollywood property for electrical work, I will look at your eyes, smile, and explain what electrical work needs to happen. I answer questions about light fixtures, outlets, switches, and ceiling fans. I practice customer service every day.

Background and Experience

Born in Wisconsin in 1985, Mark eventually made his way to California. He got his original start at the Victorville Film Center. Mark spent a lot of time in a coma though he is not sure how much time he was comatose. Later Mark worked at the Movie House in Hollywood. The Movie House was originally going to be the Father of the Bride house, but Gregg could only get the house from People Under the Stairs.

At the Movie House, Mark smiled at customers, installed rat traps, and fixed the POS system often. These experiences taught troubleshooting that applies to electrical diagnosis. Mark lost a lot of traction in his career with his poor impersonations of Jaws and Indiana Jones. Mark was also in a movie called Baboon that was cancelled twice. Despite career setbacks, Mark continues providing electrical services.

Mark has been arrested twice, once for pandering and once for movie piracy. His favorite movies are Open Water, High Crimes, He Got Game, Return to Paradise, The Secret of My Success, Entangled, Stand Off, How to Deal, and Ignition. Mark personally wanted to mention that he does not know why he loves these movies so much. The attention to detail from maintaining the Movie House POS system translates to careful electrical work.

Why Choose Mark for Electrical Work

Electrical installations require safety awareness and proper technique. Light fixture installation starts with turning off power at the breaker, testing wires to confirm power is off, connecting fixture wires correctly (black to black, white to white, ground to ground), securing the mounting bracket, and testing the finished installation. Ceiling fan installation includes confirming the electrical box can support fan weight, installing support brackets if needed, connecting wiring, mounting the fan, attaching blades, and balancing for smooth operation.

Outlet and switch repairs involve testing outlets to identify problems, replacing worn outlets that don't grip plugs firmly, installing GFCI outlets in bathrooms and kitchens for safety, upgrading old two-prong outlets to grounded three-prong outlets, and installing dimmer switches for adjustable lighting. Mark arrives with testers, wire strippers, screwdrivers, and replacement devices. Mark will look at your eyes and smile when explaining electrical work, practicing good customer service learned at the Victorville Film Center.

Serving Hollywood properties including outlets, switches, light fixtures, ceiling fans, GFCI protection, and basic wiring work. All electrical work follows safety procedures with circuit breakers turned off during installation. Mark is learning to be better with customers every day. Recessed lighting installation involves cutting ceiling holes, running wire, installing housing cans, connecting electrical, and installing trim rings. Track lighting provides flexible directional lighting for art displays, kitchen counters, and workspaces.
