Obot Electric

We have worked with Obot for several years on several projects, and they have been outstanding. Brent is very knowledgable and experienced, and when we need electrical work, he always knows what needs to be done. It takes one phone call and visit. We recommend them very highly!!

Jonathon came out to install 2 new fixtures, one in an office area and the other in a laundry closet. He did an excellent job. He was efficient, professional and his work was top quality. He cleaned up after himself and did not leave a mess as some contractor’s do. We will definitely hire again for electrical needs.

Some good. Some not very good...

NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
1) Maybe my fault, maybe theirs - We have a stairwell light that has 3 switches (top, front door, downstairs). After opening up and attempting to get some power to a room through the bottom light switch, we went another route. But now the top and front light switches only work if the downstairs switch is on.
It doesn't seem likely that the house was built stupidly, and also I never noticed this weird behavior for 13 years, so I mean... This seems more likely that it was this event. Occam's Razor

When I called him he was VERY confident, and a little impatient, that it could even be conceivable that when he shoved it all back in, maybe something happened.

I don't think I'm a complaining male Karen when I say that $1,200 for easy work, and I had to race to the store because they didn't have a decent amount of basic electrician supplies, AND they didn't know what the job was before they arrived, seems a bit pricey if you ALSO won't drive spend 7 minutes to drive 20 blocks, and 5 minutes just to make sure your customer is satisfied isn't how I run my businesses.
Even if the customer is an uneducated jackass. Just ABSOLUTELY ensure your quality and customer satisfaction, even if it's annoying for the HUGE time investment of 22 minutes.

2) They insisted on coming at 8:30 AM, even though I asked many times for an appointment later in the day. I work nights. So I got 45 minutes of sleep because they wouldn't budge.
Uh??? Do you stop work at 10AM? Or could you have actually done ANY other jobs first, so I could sleep?
To be clear, I said 3 times that I would wait for weeks or even over a month for a visit, if it could just be later in the day.

3) Initially talked to the old veteran guy. Explained everything to him. You'd expect he was taking notes or actually listening. But, then I get a surprise when they sent some young guy.
Who didn't have any idea what they job was...
Or what supplies he could bring (replace light fixture, misc stuff) Or even have a bunch of basic electrician stuff. More than just ONE ight switch, zero outlet covers??? Because, you know... You're electricians? Lol.

4) I had to initially call them twice and leave a message to get a callback.

GOOD
Everything fixed (it was very uncomplicated work)
So far, everything works
He explained things to me before doing them
He tried 2 different ways to get electricity in a room, and really looked for a solution (light switch, and then over
He really seemed to be trying to solve problems and stay productive when I had to go get the hardware myself
The nicest receptionist/appointment booker

Jonathan was fantastic. Very professional and made some great suggestions. Was cognizant of the costs and tried to keep the job as cost effective as possible. Was expensive, but I know I got a quality job done right.

Brent was great to work with. He’s really smart, knowledgeable and figured out a goofy wiring issue that was done when the house was originally built. Highly recommend

Brent and his team were efficient and thorough throughout the entire process. We had some chandeliers removed/installed and added a dedicated outlet under the house for a remodel project.
They had to do this in two stages and Cameron and Johnathan completed the follow up work expertly and were a pleasure to have in our home.

I will highly recommend OBOT to anyone in need of an electrician and was especially impressed with the team that I've met, Brent, Cameron and Johnathan.

Highly recommend Brent and Jonathan as the electrician who helped me with an urgent power outage issue. There was a strong wind on 5/18 and part of my house (office room and dining room) lost power suddenly while we were having meetings without doing anything like plug/pull outlets. I tried to figure out the root cause but the breaker kept on refusing to reset. On 5/19 morning, I called Obot Electric and asked for an electrician to help. Brent called me at about 11am and tried to help me triage the issue through the phone, but it doesn't work. After I expressed it's urgent since we're WFH now so it'll be very challenging without the power in the office room, Brent sacrificed his lunchtime and came to my house to help. Brent checked almost all the outlets/bulbs/etc and finally figured out the root cause, which was caused by an unprofessional installation of my outdoor light. The strong wind shook the light then the circuit inside was shortened. Since Brent didn't have the parts in hand, he committed to send another guy (Jonathan) by the next day early morning to fix it with the parts needed. Jonathan arrived at my home at 7am in the next morning and fixed the issue in a very short period. I do appreciate both Brent and Jonathan's professional skills and their kindness in helping me to fix the issue. I'll continue to call Obot Electric next time if I need any further help on electrical.

OBOT Communicated well and sent a highly proficient electrician. He arrived on time, did excellent, brought the job to finished product, and cleaned up. First rate.

You couldn't ask for better work and service. Men were on time, knowledgeable, pleasant and tidy. The new lighting indoors and out is just what we wanted.

On the job today was Jonathan who did a terrific job. He was here at 7:00 as promised and gave us the new lighting is that we needed.

Highly satisfied with Jonathan and Cameron's work. We installed 3 lights and 2 of them are new lights that requires wiring. They showed up on time, with professional curtesy and knowledge. They actually minimized rewiring dry wall damage and able to figure out existing wire then re-wire it to install our 2 new lights, really happy with their work!

While my project came in higher than i expected, Obot was still worth the cost. They did a great job and were detailed in their work. My house was always treated with respect and cleaned up as they worked. Inspection passed with flying colors and not a single comment from the city of Bellevue. I was sble to keep my project moving right alone. Thank you

Justin with ODOT, did the electrical work on our kitchen remodel. WOW, I can't say enough good things about their work and workers. They were very professional, took the time to talk about what was being done and made changes for us that made the finished product just what we wanted.

They saved me a lot of work and it looks GREAT! He came back to adjust the LED under cabinet lights so the countertops now really shine.

I have worked with OBOT Electric for several years, both thru my business and at my personal residence. In total, I've hired them 10 times or more. And it's a simple reason why I keep coming back -- they take care of me.

OBOT stands for On Budget On Time. That couldn't be more true. They have always been very responsive and professional. The prices are always fair. I have worked with Brent Hommertzheim, J Wright and Jeff Hope. I strongly endorse their whole team.

For singular private and high rise multi-family residences, I can always rely on OBOT to take on the challenges of my projects and bring them to fruition both flawlessly and fully integrated with A/V, sun control, lighting and security systems, etc. A fully certified, licensed professional crew who are diligent and polite. I breathe easy on projects in their care.

just correcting my previous error of posting. This firm and Brent H. did an outstanding job on repairing a very complicated electrical issue that I had.I have 10 plus years of working with this firm and Brent and it has always been positive plus. Bob C

I can't testify to their quality of work, but after the adult in van 13 passed my truck using the shoulder of highway 18 near I-90 and trying to take my bumper off to cut in front of me, I'd say there's a good chance they do whatever it takes to keep appointments, regardless of how many lives are risked in the process.

One of their drivers just blew a right light while I was crossing the street like I didn't exist.

Obot is always there when I need them.

On time
