Called Reputable Electric and reached Brittany on a Friday at about 1:10 pm. She passed my info off to Bob and he got back to me about 15-20 minutes later. and then they had an electrician to my house by 2:30. Jamie their electrician showed up and got right to work, he quickly found the issue and had it resolved within 45 minutes. We spent the rest of the hour talking about some fixes/work we may do in the future. No complaints at all about my experience with Reputable Electric, I'd have no hesitation to call them again.

|I had met with other providers and get their estimates, but Bob's estimate and knowledge was the best. I got different answers from all different providers, but Bob's were very accurate and showed that he has great experience, he knows what he is talking about and he is an honest person too. Everything was installed cleanly and explained clearly and passed city inspection without any problem. | |I am going to hire him again for my other projects. |

Excellent service! They answered all of my questions in a timely and professional manner. They arrived on time and went right to work. They were very careful with their tools not to nick walls extra. They asked questions to make sure they were giving me exactly what I wanted and needed. The job was very professionally done and they were efficient with their time. Fan works great and pricing was within industry standards. They were cordial and easy to talk to about the job. Would most definitely use Reputable Electric LLC again. Forgot to ask about my senior discount, remember to ask.

Bobby and his crew replaced the existing aluminum wiring in our 1975 home. Bobby responded quickly to my request for an estimate and he drove out to the home to evaluate the layout. He emailed an estimate within a few days and we appreciated the way he detailed the costs room by room. The rewire took approximately 3 days (we had not moved in yet). The 2 electricians arrived on time and left things reasonably clean at the end. A 10in X 12in hole was cut into a wall because of the setup of the electrical panel but the electricians did call prior to the cut for permission. We noticed one of the exterior lights was not working after the job was completed but Bobby drove out to remedy the situation. Overall, we are very pleased with the work and customer service.

Bobby worked with me to look the job over on an early weekend morning. He was very thorough in evaluating the existing system, and worked with me to come up with the best solution for our situation. I had the estimate in hand the next day, and it was lower than I was expecting. We had one other estimate for the work, and the pricing was within about 10%. I just felt pretty good about Bobby's approach, so we chose Reputable. We scheduled work about a week and a half out, with the option of moving the work up in the event of schedule changes. Reputable's schedule did shift, and knowing we were anxious to get this done, they gave us a call on the weekend and started in on a Monday morning. All of the work was completed by a three-man crew within an eight hour business day, which included: removing the old panel, installing the new panel, driving ground rods, bonding all utilities throughout the house, mapping all of the circuits, wiring the generator transfer panel into the new panel, replacing substandard conduit runs and labeling all of the circuit runs. Reputable handled getting the permits and calling in the inspection. The inspector signed off on the work with no changes. The need for conduit replacement was not obvious until the wall was opened up, and the pricing to cover that was extremely fair. I noticed that they also improved the protection of some of the existing wire runs and daylighted a buried junction box - neither of which was I billed for. I was quite pleased with the experience. These guys did a great job!
Description of Work: Removed existing panel, replaced with new panel and breakers, drove new ground rods, completed all bonding necessary to bring 70's era wiring up to current code. The cost included permitting and inspection.

We ordered a ceiling light from Italy that came with strict instructions: ?have a professional install this light.? We being new homeowners, eager for any and all DIY home improvement projects, thought we could do it ourselves as we already installed a ceiling light in our home office. We should have stopped our project the moment we saw a light fixture three times the diameter of what we previously had in our ceiling, but we pressed on. It was only after we drilled three holes in our ceiling, then watch the light fixture fall straight from ceiling to floor, that we decided to call a professional. Bob came to our house to remedy our problem in lickety-split time. He was friendly and polite, and I really appreciate that he didn?t turn away our business because it was a very small project. That level of professionalism is why we will use him again for any future electrical work?and recommend him to our friends.

IT DOES NOT COME BETTER THAN THIS WONDERFUL ELECTRICIAN! W/ our house for sale, he was an angel who saved us On a Sunday, Bob dropped what he was doing immediately to come out and work on flickering lights in our living room and porches. We could not show the house with such a problem and this was a huge issue for us. After checking everything thoroughly, Bob fixed the main problem, one that could have caused a fire! While he was at it, we had him look at a few other annoying electric issues. He fixed them all promptly and gave us some expert advice regarding new kinds of light bulbs that can cause challenges for older homes and equipment. We were expecting a HUGE bill as he drove from Kent to Burien on a Sunday and was here for quite a while. So if you have any questions abut who to hire for electrical work, there is only one answer in our book. Call Bob!

Booby the owner came out and helped in the design of our kitchen lighting, gave us a very accurate idea on the cost right then and there and followed that up with a written estimate. The crew was on time the day of the work and they did a great job , we love the new look and all of our new switches work great.
Description of Work: We had old existing lighting removed from our kitchen and new lighting "can's" installed . We also had a dozen or so light switches and fixtures updated.

It went great! Bobby's electrical knowledge helped solve a problem that I'd never seen before. I don't know too many people running businesses that would help a homeowner solve a problem over the phone rather than come out and make a quick buck, but Bobby went "above and beyond" to help me out. He's definitely earned a customer the next time I need an electrician.
Description of Work: Half of my garage outlets quit working when I plugged in my battery charger making me think I had somehow blown the circuit when I plugged it in. I checked my panel and none of the breakers had tripped, so I thought I maybe had a GFI outlet that had tripped. I reset all of those and still no power. Then I go in my house and find more outlets and lights not working. I was stumped as to what the problem was. I called Bobby the next morning and explained what my symptoms were. He said he'd be glad to come out, but if I was comfortable with some trouble shooting, he'd walk me through it over the phone. Long story short, for about 15 minutes, Bobby walked me through how to determine where the problem was and we isolated it to one of the 115v lines coming into my panel was dead. Bobby said to call PSE and if it was a problem with their lines feeding the house, they'd fix it for free. I called PSE and it was their problem and they indeed fixed it for free. Bobby got nothing out of the deal but helping a stranger over the phone figure something out and save them a lot of money at the expense of his time and not getting a job right away. That being said, he did earn a big fan and I know if I ever need any electrical work done that he will be the first person I call. It's refreshing to know that there are still people like Bobby that genuinely want to help people out even if they aren't making a buck.

Bobby came out and isolated the problem (blown transformer due to loose wire in the breaker panel) within 2 hours. He didn't have a transformer on his truck but he found one within an hour or so an had it replaced within another hour. He even replaced the light bulbs on that same circuit. I had used Reputable before and was very pleased with their work and their price. If I need an electrician in the future, it will be Reputable I call first!

We had a small house fire in the kitchen and after inspectiing the damage, Bobby noticed that the hood range was connected through a wall outlet, as opposed to having a dedicated line, as per code. He came out to make sure all was done properly and did some other finish work (installing a smoke and CO alarm), as well as recommending best locations for other smoke alarms. He also recommended that older wall outlets should be replaced, as they were starting to shot-out whenever it got a little overloaded. We were very pleased with all of his work. My only negative comment was that on the first day when someone was supposed to come in to remove the range hood, they were several hours late from when they said they would show up. That's the only reason I gave them a "B" in punctuality. A relatively minor thing, as they were always on time after that. I would give Reputable Electric a very high recommendation to anyone who needs quality electrical service
Description of Work: We needed to have a dedicated line for our hood range, which was previously powered off of one of the wall outlets. Reputable Electric's electrician (Jaimie) installed another switch to the circuit box and ran a flexible conduit line from the garage, and then through the crawl space and up the wall to the kitchen. Prior to that he also came in to remove the old range hood (which was fire-damaged) and did a very quick, professional job. All work passed inspection with no problems at all.

Bobby arrived a day early for his appointment. He did call twice before arriving, to be sure I was available. He was knowledgeable about the work to be done, and provided me with great ideas about how to problem solve some of the challenging parts. One of the issues with this project was the need to dig a 40 foot trench. Bobby was not planning on doing this. We were not interested in digging the trench ourselves, or finding a third party to do the work. His estimate was competitive and if it hadn't been for the trench we would have used him.

Called, left message, received timely response, considering Reputable didn't have someone sitting in an office waiting to answer the phone. Bobby or one of his designated minions set up an appointment with the residents of our rental, and they were happy with the scheduling and promptness, as well as how efficiently the work was done. Took three sessions to get everything done, but I've been to see the work and it was done nicely and effectively. I would definitely recommend Reputable and will call them again when I need what they do.
Description of Work: Repaired/replaced outlets in living room. Repaired/replaced outdoor lights around front and back doors. Installed security lights in front of garage. I really appreciated Bobby's/Reputable's offer to use appropriate fixtures he had taken off another job in order to save us money. Every little bit helps. The people renting our house were especially appreciative of the suggestion and installation of a security light for their girls coming home after dark. Re: price. Reputable's pricing was in line with other companies, and better with the use of pre-used fixtures. I'm just Scots enough that anything that costs me hundreds of dollars is painful, even if, relative to others in this day and age, it's in line. If I felt the pricing was worth an A, I would probably be suspicious...you can't win.
