I like utilizing local businesses in my community so I reached out to Norb & Sons for a number of misc electrical projects/needs I had at my home. Booking the date was prompt, reminder/confirmation call prior to appointment to verify, prompt arrival by technician.

Work was done in a timely manner and when needed, my input was asked by the repairman.

I could not be more pleased, excellent service at an affordable rate. Thank you Norb & Sons!

I like using local companies, they replaced the circuit box. Adequate job, cost more than estimate due to adding another task (waterproofing, needed and glad they did it, that had been my problem), maybe they couldn't know. BUT... BIG WARNING They put all the circuits randomly, not where they had been before. It took me a long time to map out which circuit was which room originally when I had a wife, now alone it will be a huge task, going up and down stairs countless times. So if you have a circuit box replaced, you may want to tell them to put the new circuits where the old ones were. I did have them marked (he said not) though I had moved a few when the old one failed and that position was corroded so I had to put in the new breaker in a different location. But I knew which ones I had moved, so didn't need the markings on those.

Made an appointment & unfortunately several days before the appointment I needed to change the date & reschedule.
I call 4 times with no response or call back.
Each message I left,I told them I needed to reschedule & nobody bothered to return my call.
Not a company I want to deal with.

so many years with this company and started to fall by the wayside when i had to wait without responses when to replace ceiling light....no response .... called again and again....no response....i gave the bozo all my light bulbs and ceiling fixtures and more because i thought he would appreciate my generosity not for a lesser charge but just because he might use the beautiful fixtures i couldn't use in my current condo!
alas, i was ignored and all i needed was to replace the fluorescent light in my kitchen! stupid ignorant did me a favor when i also needed partition removed and the electrical remodel who he referred didn't even have a license! i say fu norb....did me a favor and a safety net! dmn it all!!!!

From start to finish Norb & Sons has been incredible. Everyone we have dealt with has been very nice and professional. While they were installing items for us they noticed some issues with the wiring in the walls and were quick to offer solutions. We really appreciate all the work they did for us, everything looks wonderful! Highly recommend!

I had a serious wiring problem in my kitchen and didn't know who to call. Norb and Son's has a great reputation. Mike was out right away to find and fix the problem. THANK YOU!

We have been having issues with the fuse going out in the bedroom. We had these guys come out to see what was the issue. The technician told us that there is a bad appliance plugged in. Well, we knew this. He didn't really try to find the root cause of this, even though the service call charge was a hefty $115. The technician should have spent at least a few minutes to determine the cause to the best of his ability if they are charging this much just to come out.

When we received the bill, it indicates that there is a 13% charge to use a credit card! Do you expect people to mail checks in?? This is clearly not the way to do business in 2015. Will not be using them again.

Had some electrical work done by Jeff and Mike. I was kind of skeptical on moving forward with the work done but they both did a FANTASTIC job. I was very comfortable using them. It is nice to work with a company who knows what they are doing plus neat and clean!! THANKS GUYS!!

Norb & Sons were great. Mike, Tom, and the rest of the crew were easy to work with, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. After getting a few quotes for an upgraded main service panel and sub-panel, we chose Norb based somewhat on price, but mainly on other Yelp reviews. We were very happy with the work, the timeliness, and the communication. Their work was pristine and the (difficult) local electrical inspector signed off without any issues. I will definitely look to Norb again for any electrical work.

Killer service. They show up and knock the job out. No bs or messes. I highly recommend. Work is code and not some handyman hack job like I might do for myself! Competitively priced and an asset to the community.

If you are looking for honest hard working electricians this is the place to call. I have been using them for at least 15 years and would trust them 100%. They are the type of guys I have no problem leaving in my house alone if I needed to run out while they were working. The work is good and they will not sell you something you don't need.

We've used Norb & Sons for commercial electrical work at our manufacturing business for over 25 years and they've done excellent work for us at very reasonable prices. They are very efficient and even very involved projects get scheduled and completed very quickly. They also do residential work to the same high standards and fair prices. It's a top class, multi-generation family business that we've enjoyed working with for years.

Tom came out to do a an estimate on a new house for me. Amazingly this was no charge and he presented me with a few different options. After deciding on what work wanted done He was able to come out with a couple other guys about a week later. They did a great job. The previous owners of the new house were apparently do it yourselfers and there wasn't much in the additions that was code.Norb & Son's fixed it the right way. It's been about month now and everything is still working great and even looks safer.
