I’ve used Kolb for a few different home projects/repairs was never disappointed with their service or quality of work. Well worth the cost knowing it’ll be done right with Kolb.
My father in law recently had a mysterious electrical issues we couldn’t resolve. The electrician arrived on time and quickly located the wiring issue and fixed the problem. Pricing was very reasonable. Very happy with the service.
Hired them to install a pool timer, assess the low voltage transformers, adding an outlet, and cabinet lighting. After the electrician first said we had the wrong timer, I had to correct him which was my first sign of total ineptitude. Next, he inspected the low voltage transformer, assured me it was fine and the heat of the unit was acceptable. 1 week later, the transformer wiring melted causing see photo. I still don't know how the house didn't catch fire. He had no clue about installing a new outlet in the garage, and after $480 for horrendous service I'll never use them again and caution anyone who does in the Baltimore metro area.
They are NOT 24/7.....they wasted my time when I could have had another company here working on it.
Charged 200 dollars For travel, 200 dollars, For first hour. So after ONE hour, I was now in for 400 dollars. technician informed me that the fee would go up by 200 dollars going into each additional hour and he was no where near FINDING the issue. I STOPPED HIM GAVE HIM THE CHECK for 400 and sent him on his way. Found a company that found problem, fixed it, for less than KOLB, AND showed me what the issue was and fixed in less time than kolb.
Absolutely a nightmare to work at. Terrible management skills. Chuck doesn't know how to talk to employees or keep any employees. High turnover rate. $100 bonus even if you worked there 2 years. $100 gift cards that don't work. One minute they want to fire you the next minute they want to give you a 75¢ raise. Work here at your own risk but be prepared to find another job.
Called, albeit on Christmas Eve, but had an emergency, and Kolb was one of the only services to actually answered the phone, took our information and said someone would call. This gives the impression that despite the day, they are available. No one calls, so we follow up a couple hours and are told that someone would contact us with an ETA. Followed up again a few hours later - same response. Called again a few hours later and are forwarded to a supervisor who has a "what did you expect?" attitude. Supervisor says they haven't had anyone working in our area all day. Couldn't make it right either - couldn't schedule an appointment until Wednesday. So much for 24/7 emergency service. Again, I understand it's Christmas Eve, but the poor communication, the promises that someone was indeed working today, and lackadaisical attitude is not a good impression. Will be going elsewhere to get this problem solved.
This company is shamefully dishonest. I am contacting the BBB and county clerk because they practice unfair bait and switch. I emailed them based on an ad for a FREE estimate to replace my bathroom vent fan. The gentleman showed up and gave me a $127.50 invoice. The company representative told me that they estimate could not be free since they had to troubleshoot my vent fan. I'm not sure why. I asked for a quote to replace, obviously it isn't working. It's not even about the cost but about the reality that I would NEVER had agreed to pay for the estimate. Reading some of these other reviews I take strength in knowing these shannanigans will not last much longer.
We had not been able to figure out why the outlet in our second bathroom would suddenly stop working! It was intermittent! For YEARS we sought to find someone who could solve this mystery. Robert Sander came out today and fixed the problem in a matter of minutes! He also solved a problem that we had with another switch that was none functional. We have gone without lights in two rooms for years, finding alternate options in order to function. Robert was professional, friendly, kind and worked quickly and efficiently. We could not have had a BETTER service experience. We would SPECIAL request this young man if we ever were in need again! Thank you Robert Sander and thank you Kolb Electric!!
Professional, clean, and quick. Had an issue with code changes but Kolb took care of everything! They went above and beyond to complete the job even through county code changes in mid-job. Very satisfied!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, ValueServicesGround wire installation, Electrical panel repair, General repairs, Electrical panel replacement or upgrading
