    These guys are great. They are knowledgeable, they make great suggestions as to things that could save you money and/or time, and they explain things so that the average consumer gets it. You can trust them in your home and with your pets. (They are also a lot of fun. We instantly booked them to return for a tricky fan installation.

    Erik spent time educating me on my home’s electrical situation. He was completely transparent, loyal and just an overall great guy. I highly recommend him!

    I highly recommend Poor Boy Electric. First off they are both very friendly and easy to talk with, I didn't feel like I was ever being upsold on anything and instead they helped to find the best and most affordable alternatives. I had them do some home audio and electrical for new load in my house. For the home audio, they tried to find the least impactful way of completing the job and did an excellent job and ended up not needing any additional drywall repair or painting. They were very knowledgeable which helped me figure out a good route on the best surround system setup to go with. For the electrical they ran four circuits for a future aquarium upgrade, they suggested the cleanest option for future resale. Both items were knocked out in two appointments and they were very responsive and accommodating. The pricing was fair and came in just under what they estimated. I will definitely be using them again for future work.

    Reliable, honest, tech savvy, current trends in digital lighting options. Erik prides himself by calling, texting or emailing you back if you ask him a question. He also actually uses a calendar so YOU know when your project will begin and end. I would hire him again without a doubt.

    Easy to deal with, called 30 minutes before showing up (as requested), everything to code, cleaned up drywall before leaving, and lights are dialed just the way i wanted them. I would recommend
