Rob was the electrician for a deck/pergola project we were having done through LaBonte Construction.  Rob was professional and personable, explained all the work he was going to do first.  He cleaned up after himself, even sweeping up after cutting drywall to install a new light switch.  Rob will be back working on two other projects in our house through LaBonte Construction and I have no doubt they will be done without concern.  I will make sure to contact Rob for all our electrical needs in the future.

Job went well, expected time to complete was accurate. Not all parts were brought to the job site which was disappointing.

Rob did an excellent job for us. I researched and ordered the track lights and bulbs, keeping his advice in mind, and he took care of the wiring and dimmers. Then kiln venting system installation required some planning and skills beyond that which one would expect from an electrician. Rob set it all up very carefully. The basement is vastly improved with the lighting as well. Rob is very busy, but he is worth the wait!

Anyone looking for a master electrician that is knowledgeable and confident (but not arrogant), trustworthy, and very reasonably priced, need look no further than Rob Gruen. I have just gone through the moving process and had some sticky code compliance issues and really needed a good electrician. While he does have a very busy schedule, he came over the day I called and explained what I needed to do. He was really on my side and made a real effort not to sell me on work that I didn’t absolutely need. I’ve met with both good and mediocre contractors as a result of the move to a new home, but none have impressed me as much as Rob. He expertly installed a 200 amp service and resolved about 10 issues caused by my prior worker.  I used him based on his excellent Angie’s List ratings and he exceeded my expectations. I look forward to using him on my new place.

The service provided was good, prompt, and an estimate given before work began. Most of all he gave a very honest assessment of what we could do ourselves and save money, and what he could do that day. We plan to use this service again.

Satisfactory experience on first hire and so hired again. Said he was slow to schedule the first visit only because he was busier than usual due to the 'big deal' offer.

As I remember, it took him a long time to come out.  He said it was because the order for the lights hadn't come in.  We discussed where to put them.  He was actually helpful with that.  However, he couldn't figure out what to do with all the excess wire.  He wadded it up under the cabinet, so when you stooped down, or sat on a kitchen chair, you could see this huge wire wad, completely spoiling the ambience I was hoping the lights would create.  I hated it.  Months later, a handy man came for a different project, but I paid him extra to drill a couple of holes in the back of the cabinet to thread the wire through.  It's now lovely but no thanks to the original installer.

"I wish I would have known there was a complaint. Like this job and every job I do, I always make sure to get the customers input before I start a project, I get input while the project is in progress and I get input when the project is 100% done. That's exactly what I did for you. I went over the installation process with you and I showed what it was going to look like before I actual did the install. You seemed very happy with installation of the LED lights. If you were unhappy with the look after the install I would have had no problem coming back to fix the problem for free. I really wish you would have contacted me to say you were unhappy instead of posting it on Angie's List. Like I said, I would have fixed it for free even though we agreed on how the install was going to be done. Rob Gruen Owner/Founder"

Our experience with Rob was great. We called about a week in advance for the work and he was able to get the job completely in a timely fashion.  We also had him look at our main floor bathroom, which we plan on remodeling next year, and a few other "weird" old house electrical things and he was more than willing to answer our questions.  We were very pleased with Rob's service!

I would recommend them to others.  They don’t take credit cards.  The guy did a couple of thousand dollars’ worth of work and then I find out that I couldn’t take out my credit card.  I wasn’t happy about his professionalism because I had still had a code violation after he did the work.  I still have problems with the city and the work.  I will not use them again in the future.
Response from Brighter Connection
"There are 2 sides to every story. The fact that you are having problems with the city has nothing to do with Brighter Connection. Before I rebuilt the electrical service on your house I explained to you that you need to keep the fence that you wanted to build 3' away from the electrical service I was building. I even drew you a diagram to help you understand what I was talking about. The electrical inspection did not pass on the first inspection because the fence was built to close to the electrical service. Once you built the fence correctly the electrical inspection was passed. To keep facts straight, I did less than $1,000 worth of work for you (not a couple thousand). We do not except credit cards nor do we advertise that we accept them. I'll let my 7 years of being on Angie's List speak for itself. Rob Gruen Owner / Founder Brighter Connection Inc"

Rob takes the time to explain everthing and left the area cleaner than when he got there.  This is the second time I have used him and would do so in the future.
