Thank you. There are times when it is of the customers best interest to charge by Time &Materials. In those cases it's impossible to tell what I may encounter that is unforeseen, which might cause me to bid high. Although that may sound risky to some clients, it very well could be the cheapest way to go. I strive on being fair to all my customers.

Bob and son scheduled a date and then called to ask if he could start early, which he had told me was a possibility. He arrived promptly and worked through the day and into the evening to finish the job in one trip. This was important since I needed it done quickly. They did all the work as described and cleaned up the area prior to leaving.
Description of Work: Installed lighting fixtures, outlets, and switches.

Bob did a first-rate job! He assessed the situation, discussed the options and provided a very fair estimate. I needed to push back having the work done, but when I called him a few weeks later, he fit the job in right away. He also noticed a prior situation that needed attention and took care of it - going above and beyond the job scope. He's a nice guy with integrity and experience and I feel comfortable knowing my old home's electrical is safe.

Bob picked up the call on the first ring, provided a list of days that he could complete the work, and we had a scheduled appointment on the first phone call. Upon showing up (on time) he had his tools ready and got to work immediately. His boots were very clean, but he brought shoe covers to protect the floor. What took him two hours would have taken me all day and I'd definitely recommend his services.

There a couple of unforeseen hiccups to the job but Bob explained to me in great detail. There was an added amount to the original quote because of the issue but the amount was reasonable for the service he had to add. His friendly personality made dealing with this contractor very comfortable and I felt he was honest in all the work he quoted vs. the service he provided. He did the job within the time-frame he estimated and I would certainly use his services again. Use Bob's Electric and you won' t be disappointed.

Bob came out in person to understand what I wanted done, and then he promptly quoted the job. Bob and his son were on time for the work, did a quality job, listened to my needs and made sure I was completely happy with the outcome (which I am). Kane County electrical inspector came out today to review the job. I passed the inspection and they closed my permit. All set! Thanks Bob!

I emailed Bob on Monday evening and he called back that evening. He came over on Tuesday to fix the immediate concern of the broken ceiling light/exhaust fan. He returned on Saturday to do all of the other items on the list. His son spent hours in the attic installing the ceiling fan, making sure that it would be installed properly. He was courteous, professional and cleaned up after himself.

I called Bob because I thought I needed a new electrical box on my newly purchased home. The inspector for the home I purchased thought I should have the box looked at by an electrician. The first electrician I called, gave me an estimate and charged me to inspect the box. I later found out that the electrician was not very reputable. So, I joined Angie's list and found Bob's name. When Bob came out he took a look at the box and gave me an honest assessment. In his opinion, he thought the box was ok and was not in need of imediate replacement based on our current electrical usage. Better yet, he didn't even charge me for coming out to look at the box. When the time comes for me to upgrade our electrical box, or have any other electrical work done I will definitely be using Bob. He was on-time and professional.

Went outside when raining and come with his wet shoes to my expensive carpet! In the highest ceiling he market with pencil and didn't cleaned up...I told him, but he had just dismantled the swag and apparently didn't wanted to go back to clean the mark; now the mark stays there, because we can't reach it.

Thank you. When I came in the first time, I was told a standing lamp needed to be rewired if possible from European standards. The other light fixtures were to be a simple swap out. Upon arrival I found that the parts to be supplied, were not there. I did not realize I would have to rewire all other fixtures, and essentially build one. Had I known the bill would of been about$1,500.00. I am sorry that your experience was not a good one. I hope we can both learn from this experience.

I called around very early in the morning and Bob was up and available. He had an appointment in Elgin that day, and he needed to attend to that prior to coming to my house. He thought it would be about an hour after that. I called about 15 minutes after his estimated time and he said it would probably be another hour. He then showed up on time. Of course, I can't fault him for tending to other paying customers, but I wouldn't mind if he had over-estimated his time to get to me in the first place, as that would have helped us all keep peace of mind. He came, he saw, he conquered. He undid all our power so he could get to the box, and worked in a cramped environment to get it done. He needed to get a part from Home Depot and came back in a reasonable amount of time and then fixed the problem fairly quickly. All told, it was about an hour of work. One thing that concerned me: We have an extra section of our driveway, which has a small patch of yard in front of it. He drove over it and made a huge gouge with his tire. Now, it was wet, so it caused more damage than it would have normally, so I'm not terribly concerned about the size of the gouge. If he'd mentioned that it happened, even if he didn't offer a discount because of it, that would have been OK. The fact that he didn't mention it is kind of disconcerting. It's very clear it was him, and it was pretty obvious he noticed it, as he didn't repeat the error when he went to Home Depot or came back.
Description of Work: He changed the main breaker in my fusebox.

Thank you for your honest comments. I apoligize for not mentioning that issue. I did in fact see it, but because of all the rain, I knew that it would pop right back up again as it has in my own yard, and did not think it was a n issue. In light of having to go to two other jobs as you know,I did not mention it. I would be glad to resoulve any issues that I caused, if in fact it did not bounce back. Because of it being an emergency, I wanted to resolve your problem. I hope all is well.
