PoorBoy Electric & Lighting

Jon M.

The rest of the positive reviews you see on Yelp for Erik are all true. He is a rare craftsman of high quality whose word is as good as his work. He came out to my house, well after business hours, to help me resolve a problem with the wiring on my wife's new stove. He took great pains to ensure I understood all aspects of what needed to be done and inquired about any other needs I might need to be resolved when he was done. I would absolutely reccommend Erik to anyone who needs a job done right and will never use another electrician as long as he is in business!

Erik and Kyle came to my house today to replace/repair 3 items, and when they finished after 30 minutes, Erik asked what else they can do for the remaining 30 minutes. There were a couple additional items, plus I received great info about options for other upgrades I am considering. Erik accomplished items quickly, efficiently, and had a few spare parts in his vehicle that allowed him to complete the job. PoorBoy is my ""go-to"" electrician and I'm telling all my friends about them. Thanks guys!

Erik is not only an excellent electrician ,he is an honest and efficient one. He tells you exactly what he is doing and gives tips and information on all your electrical issues.He is very friendly and outgoing and makes you feel at ease right away. Did a fantastic job helping us with a problem circuit breaker and charged a fair price. Highly recommend him!

Great local and family operated company. Everything about my experience was awesome and Erik is very genuinely passionate about helping people find the right fit with their lighting and electrical needs and was very refreshingly not ""salesy"" whatsoever and felt like a very experienced friend giving top notch advice and not pushing unnecessary crap to add $$. Very much recommend working with Poorboy!

Found Eric on Yelp and I called him regarding a Senior Project at Cal Poly. He was so incredibly helpful and answered every single one of my questions in detail. Was only a phone call and I could really tell how genuine this man is. If you want a very knowledgeable, reliable, and friendly Electrician this is your go to guy right here. Yelp should add an extra star for this guy. 6 stars

We have a brand new home and are not the handiest of home owners and had an electrical issue with our outdoor circuits. Erik, the owner, suggested (instead of coming out and charging us!) it might be the GFI and walked us through solving the problem. We are so grateful for the honesty and the help and the time he gave us! Should we ever have an issue again, we would call PoorBoy. Did I mention I received a response to my request for quote in 5 minutes?!!!!

We really appreciate Erik being able to squeeze us in on short notice even though he was booked out 6 weeks! He was thorough and efficient in replacing several GFCI outlets in our kitchen and then checking the others in the house to make sure they were working properly. He explained everything meticulously but also in a way that a non-electrician could understand. Thanks Erik!

As a Real Estate Broker, I know a lot of contractors. Most of them are good, but very few are GREAT! The reviews here are why I chose to call Eric in the first place. Boy-oh-boy were the reviewers SPOT ON! Eric answered the phone himself, showed up on the same day and time that we had set! That right there is worth at least a ""good"" review. So when he came over and diagnosed the issue and then was able to fix my problem all at a reasonable and fair price, I knew that I would be writing a review to let others know: CALL ERIC FIRST!

I've been impressed with PoorBoy Electric from my first email communication with Erik. They're extremely responsive, confirmed the appointment, and showed up on-time. All of our light fixtures were installed perfectly and televisions were mounted with a perfect clean look. After installation, the vacuum immediately came out and he probably left the place cleaner than he found it. Not only was it great quality work, but he and his partner were nice to be around. He's clearly very passionate about his work and it shows.

We've used (Erik) PoorBoy Electric twice now and he will ALWAYS be our Electrican on the central coast. We found Thanks to yelp! He was honest, reliable, trustworthy and did all of our different electrical needs. They did not leave our home until everything was satisfactory. They also returned to fix another problem that came up and wired a ceiling fan as well.
Both Erik & Kyle have very positive professional attitudes and are a complete joy to work with.
We were having trouble getting three other companies to return calls or keep appointments. PoorBoy responded immediately and made time in their busy schedule to fit us in. Completed work quickly and throughly. I highly recommend these gentlemen and this company for all your electrician needs
