“is your guy. Phil's a good dude and will do good work.”
I had some electrical work done by Phil at PB Electric and was very impressed by his understanding of my historic home, level of detail, how he communicated options to pick and how clean everything was once he finished. I've worked with many electricians over the years and Phil is one of the best!
Phil was great. Communicated clearly, scheduled us quickly, and while here he was professional and very efficient! He had everything he needed to get the job done well and quickly, knew exactly what he was talking about and what needed to be done. I was very impressed!
Just met Phil via recommendation from a contractor whose worked on my home. Great guy. Knowledgable, explains everything ahead of time, and gets to it. I had 4 different issues, each one required someone figuring out the least costly, most effective way of solving. He did just that.
PB Electric does exceptionally great work. Phil installed the electric service to our new induction stove. He did an amazing job! He also performed some upgrades to my sister-in-law's house to get it up to code before she put it on the market. Again, I could not have asked for a better job. I will certainly recommend PB Electric to my family and freinds for any, and all of their electrical needs.
PB Electric is definitely 5 star! Phil was upfront with cost and potential issues, very knowledgeable and terrific attention to details. He cares enough to leave a clean site behind, which was greatly appreciated! I highly recommend Phil for any and all electrical needs!
