Bob installed 8 recessed lights in my living room on 2 zones with dimmer switches. The lighting looks beautiful, and because of access panels in my adjacent hallway, he was able to keep my living room ceiling pristine. I had to call him several times before being able to secure a quote and start date, but once we got that out of the way, it was smooth sailing: He showed up on time, the job only took a few hours, and I believe the price was fair. The lights look wonderful, and I'm happy to have them!

I chose Bob Pickur to update my electrical panel based on the previous good reviews from Angie's List. I never thought this job would give me such a headache. The breakers in the new panel were used, not uniform, and some were rusty. One double breaker was replaced with a rusty 40 amp breaker which should have been a 50 amp. My previous panel worked fine (the brand was Federal-Pacific and has a bad reputation for failing to trip). Because of safety, I asked for my panel to be changed. Now I feel less safe living here with this new panel. I tried different ways to reach Bob but received NO RESPONSE. Now I have to ask for another electrician to replace it.

Excellent!!!! He called me back shortly after I called. Was very through in diagnosing my problem prior to coming out in order to SAVE ME MONEY!!!! Who does that? He showed up exactly on time and figured out the problem and fixed it perfectly. I can't say enough about Bob and the good job he did. I recommend highly. Oh, and he was very reasonable price-wise compared to the others I considered.

Extremely competent and professional. I called and left a voicemail and Bob called back within the hour. I was thrilled that he was in the area and had time to come the same day. Once they arrived, they did not waste any time diagnosing the problem and getting to work on solving it. Overall very pleased with the experience.
Description of Work: Rewired a recessed light that wasn't properly connected and therefore wasn't getting power. Had to drill through several ceiling joists at a tricky angle and then fish the wire through the holes to get the job done.

I can't be more pleased with the work Bob and his crew performed. My husband called last week and left a message. He promptly returned the call and our appointment was scheduled within a week. They arrived on time and were efficient. Their work was outstanding and the was excellent. I highly recommend him and we will absolutely use him again.

Bob is wonderful and I would highly recommend. Yesterday I had a roofer come to my house to do an estimate. The roofer pointed out that I had an electrical issue I needed taken care of immediately -- there are electrical wires (coming from a telephone pole across the street) which are attached to my house. The roofer pointed out the "attachment" part to my house had come undone and the wires were just hanging there. I never noticed this because it's about 3 stories up. I called Bob Pickur and left a message. He called back within a half-hour. I explained what the roofer had told me. Bob knew immediately what he was talking about and needed done. I asked him if he could come out to do an estimate; or if he knew about how much it would cost. He said the charge would probably be about $150 and that he could do it within the next day or two. I told him to come out and take a look and if it was in the $150 range to just take care of it while he was here. A few hours later, Bob called back and said he was in the area, had some time, and asked if he could take a look at it now. Yes, great! When I came home that day, the job was done. Although I don't know all that was required, I must admit the attachment to the house looks very sturdy and the wires are now hanging as they're supposed to. Bob was a joy to work with. I travel for my job and I just didn't have much time to call around and get this job taken care of. All it took was one call to Bob and it was done. I SO appreciated that. Whenever I need electrical work done, I will have absolutely no hesitation to call Bob again. He's wonderful!

It went great. The whole experience was very easy and stres free. Bob called me back the same day I initially contacted him. We made the appointment and he was very punctual. I was not actually sure what the problem was but knew I had a problem with one of the wires as it looked like it was on fire when I turned on the breaker. Bob found the problem and replaced the cord and rewired the well electrical box. He explained what he had repaired and replaced when he was finished. Bob is personable, honest, and extremely knowledgeable. I will absolutely contact him again.

My experience will bob was very good. He returned my call quickly, gave me an estimate over the phone and was able to schedule the work in days, not weeks. His work was absolutely top notch. Everything is flush and simply looks great. He and his team even took the time to straighten the cording on the chandelier. The final cost did end up being higher than the quote I was given but there was some switch work that needed to be completed for the fans that he was not expecting. I will be using bob again in the future and would absolutely recommend.

Bob is very friendly and professional. We set up an appointment and he arrived promptly and quoted the job. He performed the work efficiently and cost effectively and had the job completed on time. He spent extra attention to detail in capturing all knob and tube wiring in the appropriate junction boxes. Realtor was very impressed and asked for his contact information for future jobs. i would give Bob my highest recommendatoin

Every time he came out to do work his hourly rate was always more than what he had quoted us. We only used him because we couldn't get another electrician to come in the time-frame we needed. We will no longer use Bob Pickur. He always charged us more than his quotes and he even tried to charge us for travel time and he wasn't even that far away. He also had to drill two holes into our kitchen cabinets because we just had them replaced and he tried to charge us more for drilling the holes because our cabinets were more expensive. I don;t understand what the difference is; he was just drilling a hole. He actually said that to us, that it took more skill to drill through an expensive cabinet than a less expensive cabinet. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life. Needless to say we will not be using him again. He was a nice enough guy, but he never charged us what he said he would.

Bob was terrific! He answered his phone on a Sunday afternoon and managed to fit me in the following day after I told him there was a crackling noise and sparks coming from my fuse box. Bob was prompt and his rates are reasonable. I'm going to have him come back to do some more electrical work for me!

Everything went incredibly smoothly, from the call-back on the same day (Sunday) and the installation and wiring on Monday.
Description of Work: Installed ceiling light (in very old house with 'interesting' wiring). He and his associate worked diligently until they found a way to safely and attractively put the fixture up. In addition, he changed several outdated plugs and investigated and resolved a wiring problem in another room.

Bob was very agreeable when I asked that I do the upfront trench digging and purchase the wire conduit. He worked efficiently, modifying the electrical box as needed, threading the conduit with the wire, and installing the all weather outlet and post. Bob kept me updated as we discussed the project and day of the work. His pricing was fair given the amount of work, and he was just an all-around pleasant and capable contractor.

Bob return my call for an estimate the same day. He arrived at our location the following today to replace a burnt bulb in our parking lot's light fixture. He found that some internals too the light fixture had burned out and showed me them. He purchased new internals and arrived later that day to fix and test the fixture. He faxed a bill shortly there after that was very reasonable. He was very friendly, professional, and easy to work with. Our company will use him as our electrician moving forward.

See above; I didn't know this field was here.
Description of Work: Bob and his assistant ran a 20 amp cable from the service box in the basement to the 3rd above-ground floor and activated a plug so we could power a new air conditioning window unit. Everyone else we spoke to wanted to run a wire outside the house. My brother, who has done a lot of home work including electrical could not figure out how to do this job. Bob worked his magic somehow (in August 2011--I should have posted this before), going up the interior chimney and other nooks and crannies. It works great. We are going to have him replace our 100 amp service panel in October 2013 with a 200 amp panel. We know we are in good hands.

We recently had new siding installed on our house and before they began I called Mr. Pickur for an estimate on the required work. Bob gave me his quote, which I felt was fair, but he asked that I wait to have the electrical work done until after the siding was installed and to have the siding installers place appropriate boxes where the fixtures and outlets were to go. After the siding was installed I contacted Bob to begin the electrical work. He arrived promptly at the agreed upon time of 7:00 AM on 9/3/2013. He began work immediately but ran into a problem. Because the siding installers didn't place the box for the one outlets where they were supposed to, Mr. Pickur was unable to connect it to an interior outlet on the other side of the same wall as we had planned due to the location of studs in that wall. He therefore had to install a raised outlet on the interior wall with a conduit running over far enough along that wall to reach the location of the exterior outlet. This extra work was completed in a very neat and professional manner. The other installations went fairly smoothly. Mr. Pickur even went so far as to calibrate and adjust the settions on the motion detector floodlight to my satisfaction. Mr. Pickur cleaned up the work areas and removed all debris before leaving the premises.
Description of Work: Provided and replaced one outdoor GFI electrical outlet, provided and installed a new outdoor GFI electrical outlet, installed new outdoor sconce light, installed outdoor motion detector flood light..
