I called this company because of proximity and the favorable Yelp reviews. Patrick came on time and was friendly and polite. He worked steadily and efficiently to complete the small jobs we had for him. When I need an electrician again, I will call Corb.

We had Corb Electric at our house to replace to light fixtures/ceiling fans and replace a bathroom exhaust fan.  Scheduling was easy, the electrician was prompt and worked hard by himself for 4 hours.  Price was very reasonable.  We called Corb based on a Yelp Review and were very pleased.  Our prior electrician company never answered the phone after several attempts.

This is the second time using Corb Electric & Victor.  the 1st time was 20 years ago.  This time we were looking to install a 220v line for a garage EV charger and decided to add a number of other items as long as we were doing the 220v outlet.  In addition to the EV charger line, Corb converted a Laundry Room fluorescent fixture to LED, changed out a Kitchen ceiling fixture, replaced fluorescent under-cabinet lights to new LED's, switched out two kitchen outlets, relocated a basement outlet to another wall, added another furnace room outlet, and replaced the Master Bath exhaust fan to one that's quieter and pushes more CFM's.  David was assigned our work with Salvador as his helper.  Everything was handled smoothly, the crew arrived both days promptly and the cleanup was fantastic.  Very happy we used Corb, again!

I made an appointment with this company and they were booked a month out, which is fine. After waiting a month for my appointment, I was a bit surprised that I never received an appointment reminder text message or phone call. I called the day before to confirm my appointment the next day (2pm). On the day of my appointment, several minutes after 2pm, no one arrived or called. I called the company and asked if the electrician was running late (which is perfectly understandable, but I just wanted to know because I planned my day for the 2pm appointment. The receptionist said she would reach out to the electrician and would call me back. She called me back and told me the electrician is running late, and that my new time is now between 330-4. I told her this new time is difficult for me and she said that I could cancel, but that I would not get into the schedule until next month (you would think due to the inconvenience they would fit me in sooner since the delay was no fault of my own. I also wonder if anyone would have called me to tell me the electrician would be there an hour and a half to two hours late had I not called. I told her not to cancel and I can be home closer to 4. I then left to run errands and at 3 I received a phone call from the electrician telling me he can be there in 15 minutes (about 3:15). I asked if he can make it closer to 4 and he said no, and offered to cancel the appointment. I told him I will race home and will meet him there in 15 minutes. He did not have my address and asked that I text it to him which I found odd. I kinda felt like I was inconveniencing them.

The electrician was very nice and very helpful. He was very kind and personable, and I forgot his name but he seemed knowledgeable and had a very pleasant demeanor. The price seemed fair for the work although this was the first company I called so I don't have much to compare it to.

I think this company can improve by providing an appointment reminder and a time window instead of a set time, and maybe some better customer service. I wouldn't write them off however and would recommend them with caution. It seems like a mom and pop shop which would probably explain some of this.

Victor came with his beautiful family for a visit as we just moved into a new house. The lights from the ceiling fan in the family room were not working and it didn't take Victor any time to get up the ladder and see what's going on. He mentioned that something needed to be replaced and we didn't want him to use time from his visit to fix our lights. Given the selfless person he is, he insisted we drive to the nearest Lowe's or Home Depot to get the part needed. So, not only that he fixed the lights but he also made it more beautiful by attaching a beautiful crown molding around the ceiling fan. Wow! Stunning work.
Thank you, thank you.

I have used Victor twice for very tricky small projects. He addressed all issues effectively and efficiently. Great value as well. The wait for an appointment is well worth it. I cannot say enough good things about him.

I've used Corb twice now, once to connect my hard-wired pool heater/heat pump (which required upgrading from a 30 amp to 60 amp circuit) and once to fix a problem with all my appliances being on the same circuit and overloading the circuit. I was very satisfied with both jobs and felt they were at a reasonable price. They also arrived when they said they would, which seems to be rare these days. Would highly recommend.

I used Corb on a large-ish project where I installed outlets, changed out light fixtures, prepared sockets for appliances, and requires some phantom light switches to thhings that actually worked!  Some of this required visits to my unfinished basement to go up the rough the wall, some were more straightforward tasks. All were done well, all work perfectly, and Victor and Chris were very professional and polite. They arrived on time, worked hard and efficiently, and troubleshoot some tricky requests. I plan on using them on an upcoming project.

Victor and crew did a fantastic job! They arrived on time and were able to complete the list of things I needed in one day. We had a few ceiling fans wired, outlets added, and a new electrical panel installed. They completed all of this efficiently and expertly. They didn't even leave one speck of dust in their wake and that never happens!  I highly recommend Corb Electric for your next project.

My kitchen tracklight does not work,  i explained the problem, maybe it needs a new fixture and my wires are old and disintegrating.  They instantly gave me a quote, and explained what theyll do.   Made me feel theyre easy to work with.  Dave came early on the set appt,  gave me options how he can do the job.   Id rather keep the old fixture if it still works.   So he check the wires, the tracklight  and the switch, it turned out the switch is broke.   So he replaced that and put sleeves on the wires of the light box,  problem solved!  Prompt easy to work with, professional, efficient.   Gave a lot of tips aswell.   Highly recommended.

Victor did a great job, was knowledgeable and friendly, and came the same day we called. I think I called a dozen electricians trying to find someone willing/able to come the same day because we needed an emergency repair. I don't fault other companies for being booked and not being able to come the same day, but I do know Corb's team seemed to really make an extra effort to squeeze us in.

Victor and Corb Electric is fabulous! Wired my under cabinet lighting and replaced all my switches and outlets to code. Couldn't be happier?

My experience with Corb electric was less than acceptable. While the actual electrician was great (although slow), my main concern was with Victor, who seems to handle most of the business aspects.

Not only was my electrician 45 minutes late, but they overcharged me for the amount of time spent servicing.  The electrician was here very slightly over an hour and they charged me for an hour and a half.  Victor did not apologize or acknowledge either of these things, in fact he defended his electricians tardiness.

If I were running a business, tardiness would not be acceptable.

I would take your business elsewhere for electrician needs.

Excellent work - Victor installed outside lights in the yard. He charged a fair price.

Called Victor for an estimate.   He finally texted me back.   No specific time for the estimate just sometime in the afternoon.    So I sat around the entire afternoon waiting.   Finally showed up around 4:45.   But it gets better... I am STILL waiting for an estimate.  Days have gone by.  I can't believe he has 5 star reviews.   I run a family owned business and email estimates the same day to customers.   This isn't rocket science.   Be cautious of people who can't get an estimate to you.  Red flag from the start.

I couldn't be happier with the work that Victor and his team completed on my home.  He was very attentive to all the details and his guys were on time every day.  My wife and I actually had another electrician in for some work which we were not happy with.  We went with Victor when we needed some other work done and I have found my go to company for any electrical work that I need.  I have already recommended him to the rest of my family and they are extremely happy with Corb electric as well.  

These guys are the best!  Wish I could give them a 10..

Had a small job of relocating an outdoor light electrical box, that had to be completed before contractor started exterior finish work.  The work was done professionally (neat and correct), and completed quickly and for less than the estimate provided.  Will work with Corb Electric again and recommend to any friend and neighbor.  Great people!

I'm so glad i found Victor! What a great job. Perfectly run family business. He was more than professional - he acted like a family member. For the estimate, I walked him through the home, showing him all of the minor projects I needed done, in addition to re-wiring the lighting in my kids rooms. I explained to him that we were NOT handy, but he was extremely helpful and wrote little notes on things that we could do on our own, if we wanted.

My husband was skeptical, so he immediately asked Victor for his card and proof of license, which Victor promptly provided. By the end of the day, Victor was under the sink showing my husband how to hook up the ice machine!... not exactly his call of duty.

I will definitely call them back for future electrical needs and I would recommend them to anyone. I know that Victor has a team of workers, so I believe they can travel beyond the north shore.

I highly recommend Corb Electric. Our job was INCREDIBLY well done. Victor and Omar (hope I spelled that right!) ran new electric and hard wired sconces over our fireplace including a new on/off switch for them (and expertly rewired my antique sconces), as well as added another on/off switch elsewhere for additional lighting. They were prompt, neat, clean, reasonably priced and did an incredible job at being minimally invasive to our existing plaster and walls.
Anyone on the North Shore looking for a great electrician... it's Corb.

We hired Corb electric to setup the high voltage connection for our electric car (Tesla). I compared about 4 different contractors  and picked Corb because I found them very fair, knowledgeable, reasonably priced and honest. Our job was very well done - prompt, neat, high quality materials and professional.   I would recommend them for any electrical work.

Victor, Omar and his crew are awesome.  They worked with us to get our project done on time, and on budget.  They even mopped the floors when they were done.  And everything was done neatly and professionally.
