Bob's Electric has over 38 years of experience. I am licensed in Arizona and bring the same expertise as I have all along. I offer extremely fair pricing and unparalled service. Majority of the work, I do by myself. I am insistent upon being the one who does all of the final electrical connections on any and all work performed by Bob's Electric. This allows me the opportunity to keep all of the work done at the highest level of quality possible. I take careful assessment of all the bidding that is performed in order to give the best possible price without compromising the quality of the work being performed. If you're looking for a contractor that will give you the quality you expect, I ask that you consider Bob's Electric. Specializing in smaller jobs, the ones that others do not want to do. But also more than happy to take on big jobs as well.

"Fixed the problem. Very knowledgeable and efficient!"

CAT Contracting, Inc. is a national restoration company which operates two divisions. The residential catastrophe division facilitates the sales and restoration processes for homeowners after catastrophic storm events. The Commercial Division services large low slope membrane systems including but not limited to TPO, EPDM, Spray Foam, PVC, Metal and Hydro-Stop

"The original project manager was good. He installed the roof, had a few hiccups, but I was satisfied until 1 1/2 years later when I got 4 leaks. Additionally, some aluminium was supposed to be installed and it still hasn't been installed. I have been calling since March 2019 and still no one has come out to fix the leaks. I only have a couple of months left until warranty expires which I'm figuring they are waiting for. I've called & asked the owner Matt to call me, b ut 5 days later and still no call. A roofer is only as good as his repairs. My advise is don't use Cat. They have no one within 50 miles to repair my roof. I'm very disappointed as I first thought they had done a good job. I had seen reviews where the owner was very responsive, but not to me."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

If your lights are shorting out during rain storms or other winter events, you should probably replace them. These shorts indicate electrical issues that could cause serious hazards. Look for outdoor-rated lights with connectors made for rainy conditions to replace them. But if your Christmas lights are new and you want further protection, you can find weatherproof covers to add to the male-end connectors of your Christmas light strings. These can minimize the risk of shorts.

Table lamps, floor lamps, chandeliers, desk lamps, and antique or decorative light fixtures that hold sentimental or aesthetic value are commonly repaired.

The average cost of lamp repair is around $75, with project expenses ranging between $30 and $100. Rewiring and replacing switches are the two most common lamp repairs homeowners need, usually costing around $60 and $80, respectively. Keep in mind that repair prices increase for particularly ornate or old antique lamps. Ask your professional lamp repair service for a price quote before agreeing to the service to determine if it’s worth the investment.

If only half of your string of Christmas lights is out, it likely means that you have a broken or loose bulb somewhere along the strand. That’s why we suggest inspecting and testing each bulb to ensure it’s still tight and functioning properly. Luckily, this problem is quickly solved with a DIY fix, such as replacing the bad bulb or repairing a damaged shunt.

Modern outdoor light fixtures are waterproof and weather resistant, and, provided they’re installed correctly and by a professional, the fixture and wiring can last for 20 to 30 years or more. The lifespan will depend largely on the quality of the fixture. The lifespan of the bulb will depend on the type of light you install:

  • CFL bulb (for sustained use): 15,000 hours

  • Halogen bulb (mostly for security): 2,000 hours

  • HID bulbs (for security): 12,000 hours

  • Incandescent bulb: 1,000 hours

  • LED bulb: 50,000 hours
