Recommended Customer Reviews

My wife and I needed a lot of electrical work done, including a Panel change and Ross and his team were great. Very happy with the work and Ross worked with me to get as much done for my budget

Stay away! Scammers. The electricians are extremely unprofessional, lazy and did not even do their job correctly. I highly suggest NOT using them. Very disappointed in my service.

our experience with bob electric was a real treat. we had 2 alarm systems to install and not a clue how to do that. one system sat in a box for 3 years! no problem even though our system was not a well known brand. the other was for a new system and we chose ring. all options were expained and the installation comes with tutoring! use this business to install your alarm system. ross is terrific!

I used this company to install some recessed lights in my kitchen and family room ceiling. I must say that the owner was very professional and honest.
His price was very fair and reasonable. I had gotten other quotes and he was not out of line. I am so happy with the outcome of the job that was done. Minimum damage was done to the dry wall. i recommend this company very highly, In fact I did recommend them to a friend of mine and she was very happy with his work as well. I have some other electrical work that I need to have done and I will be calling on this company again. Keep up the good work Bob.

Bob Electric has done work at my previous and current house. Their prices are fair, work is well done, no mess left behind. This job was to add an outdoor outlet, an outlet in garage, and install 2 ceiling fans and 1 light. He was able to add the outlets without breaking the drywall, something I really appreciate so I didn't have to call someone to patch and paint.

Hired them to wire up my new spa. They did a great job with friendly, efficient and professional service. I Would recommend and will use them again.

I recently moved here from the east coat and found Ross (the new bob electric boss) to hang my hallway chandelier . I was immediately impressed by his crews attention to detail when they hung my hallway light .
I spent a few years in the IBEW before I retired so I can spot a fraud (non Union guy)....lol!
! I'm not sure who this Jason kid (previous reviews) is but he didn't do any work on my house . Before I even got the bill Ross had had contacted me and apologized that his crew had scratched my my floor. Unless my wife complained I probably would have never noticed the scratch.
As expected when you have a complex project , things go wrong. It says a lot a about a company , an owner to step up and own their minor mistake before the customer finds it!I will be a repeat customer of the new/re established Bob Electric

Jason Caldwell, our electrician was responsive at first and completed under cabinet lighting for us, but poor execution on installation (didn't shield it correctly) and one area stopped working after only limited usage. We tried to reach Jason and Bob Electric for weeks via voice mail, cell call and text after the lighting malfunctioned but neither Jason or Bob Electric ever responded. Very poor form and very unhappy with the service and guarantee.

Problems setting appointment, but turned up on time and completed all work at a very reasonable price. They were very apologetic about the confusion in setting the appointment.
