I could not have been more pleased. The gentleman was on time, polite, and respectful of me and my home. He promptly replaced the switches. He answered my continuous questions and inquiries. He never behaved as though I bothered him as was just talking on an on and asking question after question after question. I am a fairly new homeowner and "fixer upper" will never be on my resume. He answered professionally and to the point. He gave me great advice and fixed the immediate problems that I needed repaired with quickness and thoroughness that you don't find often these days. I fully intend to call him back to install a new light that is needed in a closet. He went above and beyond and was a very competent electrician.
Description of Work: I needed a couple of switches replaced. I needed to know what, if anything, I could do with many other lighting/electrical concerns that I had on my home that I recently purchased.

Rob was great through the whole process. Very punctual, and professional in every way. He gave us what I thought was a more than reasonable bid, ($200 lower than the next closest one). He was in and out in just a few hours and the project looks great. I will definitely call him for all future electrical needs.
Description of Work: Installed 6 outlets in the basement and wired and installed new motion light on the side of the house.

Rob arrived on time as he stated the day before and got all my issues resolved very quickly. He was able to just look at the wiring situation and knew how to correct it. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I would hire him again. He also answered questions about our ceiling fan in the master bedroom. Cost was $89 plus $11 for a 4 way switch.

I had trouble getting another electrician to follow through with an appointment. I found Rob via Angie's List. He was quick to respond, was very professional and service was completed quickly. I am so glad I found Rob and will use him again should I have any additional electrical needs. I would highly recommend him to others.

Rob did an excellent job. He returned phone calls and scheduled appointments in a timely manner. His first visit to provide an estimate went very quickly and smoothly, We set up an appointment for the actual work. Rob showed up on time and finished the work quickly with great results. I hired him again to do a wall-mount for our television. Rob is very easy to communicate with and is very straightforward and efficient in his work.
Description of Work: I had a variety of electrical jobs like replacing electrical outlets, moving electrical outlets, and replacing switches.

Fantastic! Would hire him again in an instant for any future electrical needs for my home. Rob is courteous, professional, prompt and communicative. Explains what needs to be done and the cost. knows his craft. I also hired Rob to install a new ceiling fan in my mothers apartment to replace one that died. This was during an extremely hot time of the summer. He was able to install it the same day I called. Saving my elderly mother from some very uncomfortable days. We were very appreciative of the quick response.
Description of Work: Ceiling Fan Repair. I had two existing ceiling fans that were behaving badly and needed to be disciplined and repaired.

Very well. Rob coordinated timing of his arrival appropriately and was timely. He performed quickly and demonstrated competence and experience. He responded to several additional questions, providing solid electrical advice but no pressure to secure additional work. Overall, I am very satisfied and would recommend to all.

I knew I needed an electrician when I plugged in my vacuum and when I turned it on, it turned on the ceiling fan instead! I did my research on Angie's List and decided to call Warkins Electric based on the reviews. (Yes, I read every one). Rob did not disappoint. After the first assessment, I was not surprised to find out that he needed to rewire that area. I don't think that an electrician wired it in the first place...it was like that when I bought this place. Rob had to come back so we set another appointment. Rob fixed it quickly and efficiently and also added an outlet to a connecting room. He's quick, efficient and congenial. I highly recommend him.
