I came across a Craigslist ad Robinson Elektrik posted and decided to contact him. I was looking for a cost for possibly the rewiring of my home, a fairly large job. The ad said there is "no job too small", so I assumed this type of job would be something worth the time. Although the ad said call or text, I apologized for texting because I was contacting him while I was working and wouldn't be available to talk until late, but I really wanted to get the ball rolling on something. I let him know I was located in Merced, what I needed, and requested a cost. His response was that his ad stated "Fresno/Clovis" and until the president-elect lowers fuel prices I need to contact a local electrician. Electricians travel all the time. If you only stay local with your service you probably say that in your ad. Apparently, there are jobs that are too small when It comes to travel. It was an extremely unprofessional response. There are plenty of ways to respond and let me know if that is something you cannot do professionally. I should have looked up reviews about you prior to reaching out. I see there are a lot of reviews stating how unprofessional you are. I would have never reached out had I seen the reviews first. I attached photos of the text conversation and craigslist ad. read more

Robinson Elektrik - Craigslist ad that says no job is too small. - Electricians Near Me - Fresno, California

See all

Just not sure how to reach him. The number I have is disconnected .So if you could please update your information that would be great:)

Called him immediately after posting on Yelp and he indicated a time he would be out today. Showed up early and quickly diagnosed the problem with our outlet and circuit breaker. It was fixed in under an hour! He is now our go to electrician. I have to update this review unfortunately because a week later I asked my wife to contact the owner since I was at work and he did not respond to her which was severely disappointing. Then after she posted about it he replied she never contacted or spoke to him. She has correspondence and a call log proving otherwise. It saddens me that he was so dismissive of her, not knowing she and I are related. read more

If you value fair estimates and good old fashioned courtesy, you'll definitely hire Mr Robinson. His response time and detailed skill for the job was excellent and he's a veteran too! He is in demand so if you can book him I highly recommend it! DM read more

Robinson Eletrik has done several jobs on our home and have always done top notch work! Usually a quick responder with either texting or calling and flexible on repair timing (including a recent emergency on a Sunday afternoon!). Repair prices have also always been beyond reasonable for work that stands up long after the job! read more

Incredibly unprofessional. I called for an estimate on a job. He told me he did not give estimates over the phone and needed to see the job to quote a price. I thought it was weird, but he seemed nice enough over the phone, so I went with it. He schedules a 9:00 A.M appointment to come out to my house several days later. He did not show on time, and I got a text at 9:30 saying he would be late because he was picking up supplies for my job. I was incredibly confused because he had not told me a price at this point. I let him know that it was okay that he was late but that he should not buy materials for my job until he quoted me a price. Fifteen more minutes go by, and he texts me that he is going to pass on the job. It was an inconvenience to me, my tenants, and my time. I swear, my grandfather was the last honest electrician. read more

Robinson Electrik is awesome, they came and got the job done right, for a reasonable price. I am so happy with their work, and their customer service was outstanding. Thank you! Look forward to doing business again. read more

never employed his services as his demeanor is very abrasive and not customer inviting. our phone is blocked due to many robocalls and scams. i was berated via yelp response as well as my husband when attempting to make an appointment on the phone. he instructed my husband in a less than friendly tone he does not pick up blocked phone calls etc. ummm maybe the light bulb went off about why we blocked our number to avoid calls unknown as he does the same with not picking up. distinction being we are not in business to invite all calls for possible income. he quoted initially a $ 100.00 fee to come out. that was a vague response for me prompting my next question as to whether we would be charged for add'l labor time and obviously parts. not in the mood for any surprises after an appt would be scheduled. this is his response verbatim dw, i don't operate that way. the is no charge for an estimate. if u don't want mt service u may contact, albright, howe or wild. they charge. once more, better to contact me at my business number for faster reply: (click to see phone number). robinson elektrik. a fair question from a paying customer with a much needed attitude adjustment from a business perspective. booked an appt with a friendly, professional, accomodating electrician willing to answer any questions with no defensive agenda presented to a customer. read more

I called 10 other electricians and Robinson answered and help diagnose my problem over the phone. He came out same day and fixed my issue. He was very professional and taught me a few things about my lighting. A great experience and will be using him going forward. Highly recommend read more

I reached out to him as soon as he opened to ask if he had any time to come and hook up my stove and stove hood. He was super dismissive with me and very quick to get me off the phone stating he was online at the moment - I'm sorry, I am a customer wanting to employ your services, being dismissive is NOT what you should be doing. He asked me to send him my name, address, and a few pictures of what needed to be done, and he stated he would get back to me shortly. I sent him the information he requested as soon as I got off the phone with him. Then I waited all day long for him to contact me (I sent a follow-up text three and a half hours later) and heard nothing back from him. Now, he is closed and I still never heard from him. However, when my husband called last weekend, he was super quick to accommodate my husband, as well as friendly and personable with my husband. He was also VERY quick to set time aside to come to our house and handle an issue - he worked well with my husband. However, with me... I get ignored and a lot of crickets. Don't really know how to read the two interactions... but I will not be calling him again, and advising my husband to do the same. read more

Excellent work. He has over 30 years experience which was evident in his workmanship which was superb. Thank you Eddie!!

I texted for information and received an immediate reply. He came the next day, arriving early. He diagnosed the problem and gave me an estimate. Problem was fixed in less than 30 min. I highly recommend. His experience and knowledge is invaluable ! read more
