Bob is an awesome person to work with! He was efficient and friendly. He came over to fix a few minors things around our home and we couldn't be happier to work with Bob.
He changed a few damaged outlets, repaired our exterior outlets with new covers, and fixed our lights. It's been a few months since Bob has fixed our outlets and they all work fine til this day. We highly recommend BOB and his services for your home needs.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Whitney L.San Mateo, CA213191Dec 2, 2023
Bob was a pleasure to work with! We had a weird issue where our lights would randomly flicker in certain rooms, and he was very patient in trying to diagnose it over text/phone with me over the course of like 2 weeks. This was him generously wanting to be sure if he came out he could fix it, so as to not charge us anything if it wasn't absolutely necessary. I super appreciated that and it really shows he cares more about getting the issue fixed for you than just trying to nickel and dime his customers!

Bob helped me replace an LED light strip transformer. He is very responsive, provided a lot of information over the phone and then was at my place one hour later. He troubleshooted the problem, found the broken component and helped order a replacement. I'm happy with the services provided and will by happy to work with Bob in the future.

Bob fixed a frustrating lighting issue in my parent's new condo. He was patient walking us through possible solutions over the phone. On the day of the appointment, Bob was on time and got right down to work. I would not hesitate to reach out to him in the future. Thanks!

Can I just say that Bob is the nicest guy! I messaged him to request a quote and he let me know that it was too big for him to do (with just one guy) but he offered me some tips, gave me a website to explore, and was genuinely concerned about my family's well being. What an incredible person. If I ever have a smaller job to do, I will definitely be calling him.

I called Bob to ask about some lights flickering at our house and he spent several mins with me over the phone asking questions. He then suggested I try having PG&E come out to the house first, which is ended up being the right course of action and saved me $$$ since I didn't spend a dime. I really appreciated his honest take and feel grateful to have found him!

Bob was very helpful in an introductory call to brainstorm some diagnostic strategies that could be deployed to determine the source of the problem. I'm sure he must have had better things to do than discuss my electrical problem Friday evening, but you wouldn't have known it- he was very cordial and patient.

I had a great experience working with Bob. The issue with our flickering lights ended up being a PG&E issue after Bob tried his best to figure out what was going on. He reassured us that he would only charge us if there was something he needed to fix. And he followed up with us until PG&E finally resolved the issue. Would highly recommended Bob's services!

Bob really came through for me after I had damage to my electrical box and vertical pipe (mast) following recent wind storms. PG&E shut off my power and left me in the dark. I called him on a Saturday, and he walked me through a number of fixes over the phone but I eventually got to a point where I needed his professional assistance. He was very straightforward about his pricing and did a great job with the fix. I learned a lot just by working with him.
