They replaced all the two-prong outlets in my living room, dining room, and all bedrooms with three-prong outlets. They installed/replaced a broken outdoor light. They replaced a couple light switches in the house. Also fixed two ceiling light fixtures that were not working. They even checked on some electrical fixtures done by someone else to make sure they had been done properly. They were efficient, thorough, and explained what was going on at each outlet or fixture! Will definitely hire again for future needs! I was surprised at the cost, thought it would be more for how much got done in the time they were here!
Description of Work: Replaced/repaired electrical outlets, light fixtures, light switches.

Bob did a great job. He arrived on time, installed the outside outlets, and then the porch ceiling fan. He showed me what he had done when he was finished, and completely cleaned up after himself. He did a really good job and is a very nice man. I would definitely use him again the next time I need some electrical work done.

We had an electrical issue with a broken bulb that blew out the circuit line somewhere in the house. Bob started early and didnt stop until he solved the problem and made it right. He ended up trouble shooting for a bit to determine where the original power was coming from with old wiring and hidden runs, running new line with little exposure to opening walls, (one 3/16and quot; hole, easy patch) cleaned up afterwards and kept me in the loop the entire time so I knew what was going on. He's a very personalbe guy, professional, experienced (in biz since 88 I think) and I would call him in a heartbeat and recommend him to my closest friends without worries he will make them happy a fix any problems they have at a very reasonable cost. Thanks Bob
Description of Work: Restored power to our attic of our house after I broke/smashed a lightbuld in the socket and it shorted out half the power run on a line that other appliances were still working on.

In hind site we should have had Mr. Pickur from the beginning of the kitchen remodel. I'm sure it was frustrating for him to have to come in and retro fix all of these problems. Having said that he did an outstanding job. He was prompt, efficient, and very competent. We are very pleased with his work.
Description of Work: We had our kitchen remodeled this past summer. Our contractor did the initial electrical work but there were some things we needed an electrician to complete. The new ceiling fan, which had to be special ordered due to size, did not operate correctly due to our wiring. We had wiring above the kitchen window, below a cabinet that was for a decorative light. The challenge was to find one that could be mounted under this cabinet while hiding the wires. And finally our new recessed lights had their housing visible when looking up toward the light bulbs. Mr. Pickur figured out what was needed for all of these problems without having to rewire the kitchen.

First of all, Bob and his partner arrived exactly on time. They informed me what would happen and in what order. They starded on the removal of the fuse box and then installing the breaker box (and all that goes along with that, i.e., inside and outside wiring, etc.); showed me the damage in the wiring to the original fuse box; while Steve installed the hall light fixture, Bob installed the bedroom outlets; basement outlet installed prior to that. They both worked on the proch lights and they labeled the breakers. They both were polite, neat and they cleaned up after themselves.
Description of Work: Removed fuse box. Installed breaker box. Installed two outlets in my bedroom (the room only had one); replaced 220-line outlet in basement; installed ceiling light fixture in downstairs hall; rewired the switch that operates front porch lights.

Bob and his assistant did a great job! High marks for being knowledgeable, professional, and nice guys.
Description of Work: We had an intermittent electrical problem of uncertain origins in the garage - the garage outdoor motion sensor lights kept tripping the breaker. We called several electricians, and the job was either too small for them to be willing to come out or they tried to expand the scope to make it worth their time. Bob was willing tackle the issue. He fit us in between other clients and jobs, which made efficient use of his time and was fine with us as the problem was not critical or time-sensitive. Bob did a great job of giving us a realistic and honest assessment of the situation. As with many intermittent problems, its hard to pinpoint the problem and appropriate corrective measures. Bob laid out the possible options and proposed a sensible course of action, which was successful in remedying the problem. He also installed some additional lighting fixtures in the garage.

Results are excellent. Ran line in inconspicuous location along electric meter/main line, installed thermostatically controlled heaters in both third floor rooms, and cleaned up very well. Equally as important, promptly returned my intitial call, promptly came to give an estimate, and did the work within a week. Bob is not only a good tradesman but serivce oriented.
Description of Work: Bob had to run an electrical line up the side of the house to add baseboard heaters to the third floor of my nearly 100 year old house. (no wall cavities to run it up)

We needed some wiring done in a room we were remodeling. Bob explained to us clearly and simply how the work would be done. He also pointed out that, while the ceiling was open, he could run wiring to some other rooms that would be remodeled in the future. We contracted for that work and he completed it quickly and well and cleaned up after himself. He's the kind of guy that, one day when he left he noticed the meat I was thawing in the sink was completely thawed, he put it in the refrigerator, I had been held up at work and was grateful for his thoughtfulness. He is excellent and his job and pleasant and professional to work with. We will hire him again as we continue to work our way through remodeling our home.
Description of Work: New wiring was pulled into 4 rooms, 2 hallways and 2 closets. New outlets were placed at both legal and convenient places -- this old house has enough outlets for the first time! New switches were installed (single and three way) . Bob and our contractor figured out creative ways to run wiring behind routed baseboards so that we don't have exposed wiremold anywhere.

He came out and made recommendations and did all the work. By charging on an hourly basis he was able to adjust the scope of the job in an equitable way (both adding items and deleting them). He completed the whole job in less than 2 days.

I left a message with his answering service one evening. He called back next day,and we arranged for him to come and do the most important job (to me) that afternoon.
Description of Work: He came the same day I called to replace a couple of switches in the bedroom. He looked at and gave me verbal estimates for several other projects I'd like to have done eventually. He is easy-going and explained things well. Very willing to look into the other jobs and give estimates.

It went very well, from the initial contact through the completion of the job. We agreed on an early start time (perfect for me) and they were here exactly on time. Bob assessed the situation and started working. In the meantime, I had to purchase another kitchen fixture as the one I had purchased was broken inside of the box. No problem. He returned an hour or so later to install the kitchen and hallway fixture. His price was definitely in line with my budget. He also gave me an extimate on some other work that must be done, sooner rather than later. My brother and I thought the extimate was fair.
Description of Work: My experience with Bob was superb!! I cannot speak more highly of him. A neighbor (who called himself "fixing" my problems with porch lights, also attempted to fix the hall lights (which were fine before he started). He stated that everything was fixed, however nothing worked appropriately. I chose Bob Pickur because he came highly recommended through AQngie's list, and I always choose to support small business people. Anyhow, Bob repaired the hall lights and repaired the porch lights. He agreed to come back the following day because that evening, I saw that the one light was still blinking. He also installed a new kitchen fixture (he recommended the type to purchase), and he installed a new fixture in the upstairs hallway.

Bob and Steve (I think) were excellent! They showed up on time and were very friendly and polite. They both got right down to business and started with my two kitchen pendant lights. After they had installed one I changed my mind on the height and asked them to adjust it and they very politely did just that. After completing the kitchen they installed the dining room chandelier and adjusted it exactly as my husband and I asked with no complaints at all. Then I asked him to take a look at a chandelier i wanted installed in my bedroom (that I had not previously asked him to help with when we originally spoke). He told me they could install it right then, no problem. Bob is even looking into installing a chandelier in my two story foyer that would require renting scaffolding to install and letting me know pricing. I could not have been any happier with his service!
Description of Work: Bob and his associate installed a very intricate chandelier in my dining room, two pendant lights in my kitchen and a chandelier in my bedroom.

This was our first experience using Bob Pickur as an electrician, and we were completely satisfied with every aspect of his work on our project. He came out to give us an estimate within a day or two of our first call. When he described how he would do the work, he was clear and professional, and his estimate was very reasonable. Bob began the work on one of the hottest days of the summer, and he and his partner completed it in a single day. By the time I got back from work and opened the garage, a brand new breaker panel was staring at me, along with several new outlets. The job was done and power and A/C were already back on! We have some additional electrical tasks that need to be done next, and we'll definitely be calling Bob to do them. Incidentally, this was my first experience using Angie's List, so I'm happy to report that the membership fee has already been well worth it. We're relatively new to Pittsburgh, and it's hard to know who to trust. Bob Pickur definitely goes on the trusted list!
Description of Work: Installed 150 Amp Service, including entrance cable, approved meter socket, circuit breaker panel and proper grounding. Also installed dedicated 20 Amp circuit and 3 GFI outlets in garage.

Went GREAT. Bob arrived on time, and completed the job in 1 day.
Description of Work: Bob rescued my home renovation project. Had gone through 2 other electricians before contacting Bob. He came same day as my call, and started the work the following day. He added several new outlets inside and outside, and installed 3 light fixtures. He was professional, reasonably priced, and completed the work in 1 day. Contacting him again to do some additional work. Excellent experience!

Bob Pickur did a superior job at a fair price. We received several job quotes and choose Bob because of his reputation, professionalism, experience and price. As a local Realtor, we are often asked by our clients to recommend contractors for home repairs. Bob just shot to the top of our recommendation list for electricians! Thanks Bob

Bob and Mike were professional and punctual and genuinely nice guys. Bob readily returned our phone calls and was available right away. We will definitely use Bob Pickur electric again if the need arises.
Description of Work: We experienced an irregular surge from outside of the home which caused our breaker panel and some of our outlets and fixtures to go haywire. Bob troubleshot the problems and corrected them. After talking to Bob about our concerns and the age of our service box he made reccomendations and we decided to go for a new panel and service along with a surge protector on the service. We also had Bob and his assistant Mike intall 5 new light fixtures while they were at the house.

This is the second time that we have used Bob Pickur. Again, he was prompt, courteous and reasonably priced. He returned our call quickly and showed up to do the work within a few days. He came on time at 7:30 a.m. and completed the job within an hour. Before replacing the ceiling fan/light fixture he asked me if I wanted him to try and fix the existing ceiling fan/light fixture. I said yes and although it was not able to be fixed, I really appreciated that tried to save me money by repairing it instead of replacing it with a brand new one. I would highly recommend Bob Pickur for any electrical work.

Called Bob Pickur on a monday morning, he returned my call that very afternoon. I told him the problems we were having and he said he could come out the next day. Bob and his associate showed up on time, were very friendly and completed the work we needed in lightning fast time. I was totally blown away at the excellent service that we received. I say this because I had to call three other electricians and none returned my call. I guess they didn't need the work or did not care. I have dealt with many contractors over the years and I would hightly reccomend Bob Pickur.

We were glad to use Angie's List in searching for an electrician in our area. We scanned the relevant prior customer reports which were helpful in selecting a person for our needs. I called Bob Pickur late Wednesday afternoon, leaving a message on his phone. He returned my call within the hour and set up a time for our appointment onThursday afternoon. He arrived promptly at the appointed time, quickly identified our problem and repaired it. I was very favorably impressed with every aspect of this experience. Thank you Bob Pickur and Angie's List.
Description of Work: We had a short circuit in two electrical outlets which had shut off our power. Bob and his partner quickly located the source of the problem and repaired it, providing new parts as required. He arrived at our home exactly when he promised and performed the necessary adjustments to our electrical service. He was most courteous and professional in his demeanor. I would have absolutely no hesitation in calling him again when the need arises and I would recommend him to anyone requiring electrical service.
