About us

As a small business owner I am the only employee of this company, which I hope to someday pass down to my sons. Jobs are billed differently depending on the size. Customers are charged in two ways; either by the hour, or with a bid total. Often times the bid is a better option for the customer, which allows them to plan ahead. We accept cash, check, & all major credit cards.

Description of Work: They gave me estimate did some of the work. Then they when they didn't come back I called and was told they had a bigger better paying job and would return to finish later. I called several times trying to have them finish job and got nothing but excuses. I had already paid for work done. They lied to me a senior citizen and never came back to finish after waiting for months. People should not use this company.

Response from Warkins Electric
I will be contacting Angie's List first thing on Monday morning regarding this review. Warkins Electric has NEVER been contacted for any work at this address or by anyone with this name. Additionally, in researching the address, it is for a local car dealership that I know well & have never done work for or been contacted by for electrical services. Furthermore, this review was for a supposed job in September 2014; 15 months ago. A $1500 job is not one that would be turned away by my small business & never would I leave any client or future client hanging for "something better". Warkins Electric bids all jobs, whether it's something as large as new home construction or something as small as a new outlet & handles each one fairly, honestly, & promptly through completion. Leaving comments & reviews in an effort to negatively impact a small business is deplorable. I am honored that out of 170 reviews, this is only negative one & it has been left by what seems to be someone trying to negatively impact & defame my small business.

Description of Work: Rob did a fantastic job putting can lights in our hallway and updating our bathroom fan and lighting. Rob was courteous, timely, and professional. His price was also fair. We plan on hiring him again when we redo our second bath lighting.

[removed member name] With all do respect I always answer or return every call. I can only assume that you are the one that called and left a message with a number that when I did call back your voicemail was full and I was not able to leave a message!!! And if you are the job on Fairview I also called the number that you called me from and when I called that one back, it was a magic jack number and wasn't able to leave a message there either.. SO I RETURN CALLS!! Thank you

Description of Work: As part of home inspection it was determined that I needed GFCI outlets in my kitchen, garage, laundry room and wet bar. I called Rob as he has done very good work for me in the past. He arrived at the day and time agreed to. He performed all the work and I was again very pleased with his work.

(deleted member name), I always strive for perfection.. Not sure why you gave me a B.. I only looked at the job.. I have yet to give you a price.. Once the job is complete I promise you will want to change that grade!! Once you get the permit the inspector will be out, that part is beyond my control!! Look forward to doing the work once things slow down for you..

Description of Work: Excellent work done. Very professional. Rob gave me a good quote to wire electric for lights and outlets in and on two small sheds about 30 feet from my home. They also added 2 new switches by my back door to control and outlet by my pond (for a pond pump) and one near my woods to control a bug light and an outlet. I am very happy with the job done.

Great job
Description of Work: Had a few outlets in my restaurant not working. Tried to eliminate the problem by checking outlets and breakers. Figured out that he was getting a false positive out of the breakers. A few hours later had it fixed. Awesome job at a fantastical price. A lot of contractors figure if you work for a big company that they can charge you extra, rob actually came in about 200. 00 less than expected. Will tell my other restaurants about him.
