If there was an option, I would have given him a negative stars. I hired him for my flip project. He is EXTREMELY costly. He works by the hour. He intentionally does not do the work right and then keep fixing them again and again and keep charging you for the hours. You keep paying for his intentional mistakes. I paid him over $15k for something I could have got it done for $4k. He is a dishonest person. I would never recommend him for any kind of work. The amount of work he did can easily be completed but he took 84 days to complete the job

I called to make an appointment for an estimate. We agreed on Monday, May 14. On that Monday morning I called at about 7:00 am to reconfirm. He answered his cell phone and we reconfirmed for 1:30 pm that afternoon, the originally agreed upon time. I make arrangements to be home for the appointment. When he didn't show at about 1:50 pm I called his cell phone, which he answered and explained that he was in the middle of a job and he would have to come later. After a pause, he said, " I guess you want to know what time." He said he would meet me at my home between 3:30 and 4:00pm. OK, no problem. Stuff happens, jobs take longer than expected. I'm fine with that, although I was slightly annoyed that he was working away, a bit surprised at my phone call and didn't seem to have any intention of calling me to let me know he would be at least 2 hours late. But, as I said, no problem. He'll come later. Only he never comes. He NEVER calls to explain, apologize, or offer to reschedule. Nothing. Unbelievably inconsiderate and unprofessional. To me, this says something about Mr. Cudmore's general character. Even if you're "lucky" and he shows up for your scheduled visit, where will he be if you have a problem and you need him to come back out after the work has been done and paid for? What if there is a problem with his work and you need him to correct something? Will he be there for you? There are many competent and professional electricians out there. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Bob Cudmore answered our call and was available to view the job task on site within an hour. He tallied a quote for the project before he left, which was $900. I called him later that day and he scheduled the job for the same week. Bob worked persistently for 2 days installing the boxes, crawling in the attic, fishing wires etc. He was very neat, organized and professional. He laid down drop clothes, cleaned and vaccumed after every drywall cutout was made, and again at the end of the work day. He was very courteous, and asked us for inputs where appropriate when it came to preferences. He carefully measured the positions of fixtures and boxes using levels, tape, and laser level. He paid a lot of attention to detail, and did an excellent job. We're very happy with the outcome. Bob checked to make sure we were happy with everything before accepting any payment. If we need any future electrical work, we will certainly hire him again. We highly recommend this electrician.
Description of Work: Installation of 2 bedroom ceiling light fixtures, 2 hallway sconce light fixtures, and 3 recessed kitchen light fixtures, and 5 wall switches. These were new lighting installs which required ceiling box installations, wall boxes, and wiring through walls and attic.

I contacted Bob for an estimate and he came out right away the next day. He gave us a very fair price and came out the next week to do the work. Bob does the job right and treats your home like it's his. This is one of the better experiences my wife and I had with a contractor and will definitely consider him for future projects.
Description of Work: Installed new ceiling fan, new kitchen light, and two track lights in downstairs. Installed new receptacle & data hookups for home office. Replaced 8 receptacles.

Bob was great. He is honest and does excellent work. We are big picture' people and he took the time to explain and give us options on what we could do. His recommendations were spot on and his work was impeccable. After each visit Bob would clean up (he even cleaned up after the contractors on occasion - and did not charge us for this). My family is in the construction business and we were impressed. Bob recommended putting in a whole house surge protector - which is great. He recommended purchasing it online (cheaper than getting at home improvement or Electrical store) and Bob installed it. He was great with costs too. If we could find the supplies cheaper he would let us buy them (which was a great option for our custom kitchen lighting). He also gave us several catalogs to choose lighting from. Bob was at our house when we needed him - despite contractor and inspection delays. He worked weekend and evenings when we need him to. He is very accommodating to his clients - working around our schedule. We feel much safer with the upgrade electrical work - especially knowing Bob did this for us. We have already had Bob back to look at additional work for our home office - and will be contracting with him again soon. We recommend Bob to all of friends and family. Our neighbors liked his work and are planning on using Bob in the future.
