I've hired Roman for a few jobs. Installing electrical fixtures and GFI. He understands code and is an honest man. Also my mom hired him and a few other peeps in the hilltop hood of JC - all satisfied customers. He's very smart and skilled in his trade. He does amazing and honest work. As a single lady trust him. Also very easy to work with. I bump into him in the hood and say I have an issue and he addresses it immediately. Or we set a time and he is punctual and communicative. Thank you Roman! Joanne. read more

Great Service and Fair Price! I called Roman in October because we had a couple of outlets that were no longer providing ground protection and had been "tripped" during an inspection when we purchased the apartment. Roman and his associate arrived on time and were very quickly able to identify the problem. He had the outlets working quickly and did not mind making a trip to Home Depot to purchase outlets that had lights that matched the backsplash in our kitchen. He was very polite and was able to squeeze in our service call within just a few days. We are very happy with the outcome and thank you Roman for the great service!!!! read more

Chodaba provided a reasonable estimate over the phone for a malfunctioning bathroom outlet. Arrived on time. Roman is polite, patience and quickly fixed my issues. He also cleaned up afterwards. Definitely will call again. Thank you! read more

Been meaning to write this review for service from 2021. Roman provided a 'free' estimate over text message based upon my description of the problem. When he arrived he found that there was actually no issue with the circuit or fuse, and he told me he still needed to charge $200 for coming out! He offered to replace the fuse anyway, which would be included in the price. He also said he had to charge because it was difficult to find street parking. I would not hire again. read more

Great service . On time Fast and reasonable prices . Roman is a great troubleshooter !!!! read more

Roman is all you want in a contractor--- skilled honest and responsive I'm sure there are other good electricians around but Roman s one man band is playing the right tune read more

Look no more - this is your electrician! Roman was able to fit me in on the same day of my Saturday call. A whole wall of outlets stopped working. Roman carefully reviewed outlets on two floors and my circuit breaker and diagnosed the issue - old faulty work from the seller (no surprise). Luckily, Roman carefully restored power and also neatly patched up where he needed to cut into the wall. He was an excellent communicator - both when arranging the appointment, and in explaining exactly what was causing the problem and how he would resolve it. He even drew me a diagram! Power was restored within an hour, and Roman was neat and friendly throughout. Highly recommend! read more

Chodaba Electric - Electricians Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

See all

Awesome service! If you want electrical issues to be fixed around the house, do not look further- Roman is extremely knowledgeable, flexible and troubleshoots issues in seconds. I would highly highly recommend him! read more

Reasonable price in the area and Roman is quick to troubleshoot my bathroom outlet and light.

Making an appointment with him was difficult enough but when the day came and he couldn't find street parking he just left and said he wasn't interested in the job. I told him multiple times that I will pay for his parking at a lot next door but he said he doesn't trust that I will pay him for the parking fee. He only does jobs in jersey city so not sure where he can get jobs with parking readily available on the street. Guess demand is still high that these clowns can walk around refusing jobs for ridiculous issues. read more

Roman is good, honest electrician who charges reasonable rates - maybe the only one in Jersey City. His hourly rate includes diagnosis whereas other electricians in JC will charge nearly $200 just for a diagnosis. We have worked with him a couple of times, first to install a large range hood and recently to repair some electrical parts that were damaged in a basement flood. Both times he responded immediately and was able to come within 24 hours, completing his work quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend him for anyone needing electrical work done in Jersey City. read more

They were super responsive and answered right away via phone call and text message. I was able to effectively communicate the problems I had (this time, the dishwasher wasn't working and previously, it was the AC within the unit). He assessed the issues through my messages and photos and gave very clear pricing and payment options for each scenario (if he's able to fix the issue vs. if he's not able to fix the issue). The pricing was very reasonable and he was able to visit, take a look and fix the issues the same day. I would recommend Chodaba as a go-to for any issues you have in your home. read more

They helped me very quickly and were super helpful. We didn't need a service call but they were so nice to text and call to see if I could figure it out. My problem was me not being smart, the breaker was just off. Either way I recommend their service and if we ever have a more serious issue we are calling them first! read more

I called Roman on a Saturday and he showed up later that afternoon. He fixed a bad outlet and installed under mount lights beneath the kitchen cabinets. His rates were very affordable and work was flawless. I highly recommend him. read more

Roman is fantastic - we had a small issue with a circuit breaker and he was able to fit us in the same morning. He knows his stuff for sure and was extremely reliable.

Roman came out right away. Arrived within an hour and fixed the problem at a reasonable rate. I will definitely use him in the future and recommend him. read more

Our thermostat stopped working on a cold, snowy Sunday in Feb. We called fifteen different places with supposed 24/7 emergency service and not one picked up the phone or called back to help except Roman. Roman arrived within an hour and diagnosed and remediated the issue soon thereafter. Roman was transparent about his fees, as well as the issue. He will be our go-to electrician should we have issues in the future. read more

Roman did a great job fixing an electrical problem that was causing our microwave not to work. Would definitely hire again!

Roman impressed me with his over 40 years of experience, flexibility in scheduling, and remarkable ability to get into tight spaces. Roman fixed my AC unit (broken transformer) and helped save me from another contractor who was nothing but a scam. Roman, logically stepped through the troubleshooting steps until we got to the problem. I plan to use Roman for other electrical improvements. read more

Roman recently helped us by replacing 3 lighting fixtures in our new condo. He was extremely responsive when I requested a quote on Yelp and was on-time, friendly, and efficient with the installation job. We're thrilled with how everything turned out and are glad that we now have a go-to electrician resource in Jersey City. Thanks! read more

Roman recently helped me with an electrical issue affecting my HVAC. He was very responsive, prompt, courteous, timely, and fair. His schedule flexibility was most appreciated. He was quick to respond to a quote request and stayed true to his word. I was very pleased with his work and more than fair pricing. I am pleased, and have referred him to the rest of my building. He now has a loyal customer. I recommend Chodaba Electric. read more

Roman showed up the same day I called. He is efficient and knowledgeable. He also charged a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

It's summer time, I bought an AC and installed it but then realized the plug doesn't match my outlet, nor the voltage. Contacted Roman, he's very professional. I took photos of my settings, electricity panel and he was able to confirm it's a job he can perform, and even went down to detail like colors of the new outlet. The rest is seamless. He came to my apartment right on time and finished the job in less than 30 minutes. Price is reasonable too. read more
