Skyline Electric

Kent did an exceptional and prompt job to solve my electrical outlet problem. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely my 'go-to' electrician for Chicago.

Another job well done! When my dog started pulling out the pins holding a cable to the wall (no clue why the previous owners did that), I panicked and called Skyline. They fit me into their very busy schedule and got the cord in the wall the next week. They also updated my painted-over outlets, which look a million times better. Thanks much David and Tom for all your help!

Kent was great help and quickly took care of all my electrical needs, even supplying extra materials

Kent and Jeanette are AMAZING!!!! They are A+++.  Kent and his team are extremely knowledgeable.  Jeanette from the beginning helped me in understanding the electrician world and getting prepared for our appointment.  Kent came prepared and there is no task that Kent can't do.  They are extremely nice individuals and very helpful and patient.  Kent went out of his way to help us with issues. Jeanette was responsive and understanding.  I recommend them 100%.

I contacted more than a dozen Electric and HVAC companies in Chicago to install a Mysa Smart Thermostat for my 240v electric ceiling heater in my condo.  Only Skyline was willing to try.  From my first contact with Jeanette, I knew that Skyline was my only chance of getting this installed.  Kent came out to do the install and had never even seen a Mysa Thermostat before.  An hour later, he successfully completed the installation and I could not be happier.  Excellent work at a reasonable price.

When I was moving into my new condo I needed unique lighting. No electrical can be run in the ceiling due to radiant heating. I went to several stores and the options were the traditional ones with wires running up the walls. I called a few electricians to line them up for when I knew what lighting options I wanted, but most of them were kind of negative or overwhelmed and didn't seem to want to take a job like this that required creativity. When I got Kent through a referral he said let me come over with my box of tricks and we'll figure something out. It was awesome. Someone who wanted to collaborate with me on a creative solution. And we did just that. Ultimately I ended up with exactly the lighting solution I wanted. Kent had installed this type of lighting many times, but not the way I needed it done. It was complicated, but ultimately he created something that is fantastic and flexible. It's sleek and clean. And when the job started to go longer than expected, Kent did little random jobs, like bringing me a light he had in his shop and installing a light in my closet, installing a light in my bathroom, and when I had an electrical problem due to water, he fixed it. You never know when you're going to need an electrician, so that was great. Last night at 10pm my power went out. I texted Kent and he arrived this morning first thing, and fixed the issue. I can't say enough about Kent and Skykine.

I'm indebted to Skyline Electric, again. I had an appliance delivery for a new washer and dryer that had to be rescheduled because there was not a 240V outlet available despite having a working laundry unit (bizarre, huh).  I called on the Saturday of a holiday weekend and Jeanette was immediately able to accommodate me for Wednesday after I explained the situation to her and Kent.

Tomasz did a great job per usual, in less than ideal circumstances (we had to move the existing laundry unit out of the space). Their rates are incredibly fair and their service is genuinely top-notch -- I'm incredibly happy and impressed by their work. Skyline Electric will always be my first call for any electrical project.

My experience until today has been very positive, both for my family, friends, clients and anyone I've referred to this company.  I have sent no less than 3 people to them and my family has used them for both smaller and larger projects on no fewer than 3-4 occasions.  And then today happened.

Skyline was called out in November or early December to install gutter heaters into my 97 year old grandmother's 4-flat.  The system was installed, though they ended up staying late because the gutter heaters kept blowing fuses (she has an older electrical panel). They managed to stabilize the system temporarily and we thought there wouldn't be a problem in the future.  As soon as the January ice storm hit, the gutter heaters started blowing all of the fuses again.  No problem! I called Skyline but this time they sent Kent. While nice at first, his attitude quickly changed later on. I'm the type of person who looks to professions when I have questions and I rely on them for education and information.  I asked Kent some questions and he just seemed annoyed.  Upon his return from the supply warehouse, I asked him if I should turn the gutter heaters off in an effort to make things a little easier for him.  His response was to call me an a$$hole and then tell me that it's always the person behind you that is telling you how to run your f#%king business even though you've been doing it for 35 years and have '5 licenses.' Excuse me?  I've done nothing but try to help make things easier for you and if I've had a question, I have asked it (as any consumer would). I don't know everything and I'm hiring you for your time as well as your professional efforts.  It's not too much to ask that you be somewhat pleasant during the process.  

On top of this, Kent did not wear a mask. At the time (01-13-22), we were in the middle of the pandemic and at the peak of the problems with the Omicron variant. Regardless of what you may think of COVID-19, he knew that the owner was a 97 year old.

The bottom line is that the job wasn't properly completed back in December and the job wasn't completed today, either. Kent, after his tirade/hissy fit, decided to leave the job site without closing the roof hatch that he opened to examine the electric gutter heaters on the roof. My 97 year old grandmother was left to find someone with a ladder who was willing to help close up the hatch so that water and ice didn't cause hazardous conditions for her tenants. It's a shame that I will no longer be recommending this company due to the unprofessional actions of their owner. They had been great up until this point. Today is simply not something I am willing to overlook.

Hands down the best electrician service I have ever had in Chicago.

Jeannette was amazing. She not only responded to my initial message right away, but also sent me links to parts that I needed for the repair. Tomasz was professional and super efficient. I would highly recommend Skyline a electric for any electrical projects.

I have never received better end to end service. From product strategy to installation. In 1 day, Skyline installed 7 large fixtures (1 crystal chandelier weighing over 100lbs) and replaced 30 switches (including dimmers) with extreme professionalism and quality. It is clear this company knows what they are doing and certainly provided confidence to me and my wife all along the way. I will be a long time customer, and recommending Skyline any chance I get.

I'm so grateful that I came across all of the positive reviews for this company. From the very first interaction with Jeanette to the visit and repair from Alex things were seamless. They have excellent customer service and got my job done quickly and competently. Would  highly recommend!

We hired Skyline to install recessed lighting in our 2 loft condo.  The job was a bit unique due to wood panel ceiling, but Kent and his guys were excited for the challenge.  They ended up installing 16 Halo smart home cans and hung a pendant over our kitchen island. The job took 2 days.

Skyline is a 1st class operation.  Kent does a great job running the crew and his guys were real pros.  They included me in every decision along the way, and they always took the extra time to make sure everything was perfect.  Jeanette does a great job with communication and scheduling. We had to make several reschedules due to my work schedule and they were very accommodating.

This is by far the best money we have spent on our home.

OMG - great service and quick installation on a fuse box panel! Vlad was terrific and very professional! Would call upon them and refer to all. Thanks Jeanette for your prompt services!

OH MY GOD! There are honest people left in the world!
I had a tenant with no power and had flipped every breaker with no luck, so I called Skyline because they had great reviews and they dispatched Kent within five minutes (awesome right?) but it gets better - Kent asked me some questions and he resolved the issue over the phone. I felt obliged to pay them but Kent refused and when I called the office, they refused payment too. These are good people. They have a new loyal customer in me.

Can't speak highly enough of Kent, Alex and Jeanette. Everything from the coordination from Jeanette, to the whole installation process for our smart doorbell was handled so well. Kent and Alex had to deal with a defective doorbell and an alarm system that made things complicated. When it turned out there was an issue with the doorbell, Kent went out of his way to come back and fix the issue. This was at the height of Covid, and they were all super respectful too, on top of doing a great job!

Kent and Jeanette are awesome. Like others have mentioned, they are available by text (and phone if you prefer), and this really simplifies things.

The fixtures in my apartment were ancient, but Kent was able to find replacement parts for the ones that were broken, saving me several hundred dollars! I unfortunately required more than just a single appointment due to my specific hardware problem, but they were quick and smooth.

I'd definitely call Skyline first when my next electrical issue comes up. Can't recommend them enough.

My experience with Skyline Electric was great. Jeanette does a great job talking through your job, asking important questions, and keeping you informed leading up to the date of the work. I had pendant lights and 2 ceiling fans installed into a lofted condo with a concrete ceiling. On the day of installation, Kent and his team showed up on time. They included me in the decision making process every step of the way to make sure I would be happy with the outcome.

Excellent.

We had six battery operated blinds on windows that went up about 15ft that we wanted converted to hardwired operation. 4 dealers for the blinds said they couldn't help us, the manufacturer didn't respond for a month and only asked if we ended up finding someone to do it because they weren't able to, and other quotes came in 90% higher with zero detail on what they would do. Kent stepped up to the challenge and gave us a super slick and cost effective result.

Jeanette is very responsive, makes scheduling super easy, and did a great job relaying our needs to Kent.

Kent is a whiz with wires. After he and Tomasz brainstormed a bit on the best way to go about it, Kent explained what they were going to do in great detail and got to work. The guy has decades of experience and has seen everything, including this, so I was confident that the job would get done well.

I can now open and close my blinds, and I can have my morning coffee in the living room without sweating to death.

If you want great, honest work done, call Skyline.

Skyline Electric is amazing! Jeanette replied promptly after I reached out to her and was kind, courteous, and helpful throughout my interactions with her. She answered all of my questions and gave us an accurate estimate of how much time it would take the electricians to install a new junction box and our 176 lb chandelier. The morning of the install, Ken, the supervisor, came along with Alex and Tomasz, our electricians, to go over our project with them and see if we had any questions before leaving Alex and Tomasz to complete the work. All three were very nice and professional. Alex and Tomasz worked diligently to complete our project while checking in with us along the way to make sure they got everything just the way we wanted. They were also very careful with our chandelier while being extremely efficient at the same time. Most importantly, we are incredibly happy with the work they did--the chandelier looks incredible! Thank you, Skyline, for making our experience so wonderful! We'll definitely use you again for any future electrical needs.

Had a great experience with Skyline! Highly recommend. Jeanette is quick to respond and communicates via phone and text (makes things super easy!).  We needed to have a 220 volt installed for an appliance and two plugs repaired. I had reached out almost a year prior for the same issue (we had waited to get the appliance & to have the work done) and she quickly remembered exactly who I was & the background on the project. She honored the original price quoted even though their prices had raised in the past year.

We live in a vintage building so any work behind the walls is complicated & never easy. Both electricians were professional & efficient not to mention patient with all the issues that came up.

Super pleased with the work and the company!

Needed special electrical connection work for HVAC units and work was absolutely fabulous, reasonably charged and follow up text with pictures and phone call to be sure was awesome!  You just don't get that anymore.

Inspection of other items resulted in recommendation to save money and wait. That's what I'm talking about!

Certain things happen when you purchase a home.  Things break down and there are some odds and ends you want to tweak.  Sometimes you get on your high and mighty horse, thinking you are Tim the Toolman, and try to do these little home projects by your lonesome.  You buy the tools, the drill, the electric meter, and hit the internet ready to take on home improvement projects like it's your day job that you've been doing forever. YouTube can be great but it definitely doesn't prepare you for everything.

So I may or may not have blew out the entire power in my apartment on a Sunday early afternoon after sparks started shooting out of the switch I was replacing.  Seemed easy but I managed to screw it up colossally.  And no, it wasn't just a switch in my fuse box.  I called a few places and most weren't willing to come until Monday.  The other one who was willing to come wanted to charge $250 just to show up and he was unprofessional on the phone.  

The thing that stood out about Skyline was the professionalism and honesty.  Jeanette was fielding my calls / texts, and acting as a broker between myself and the electricians.  She expressed genuine concern for the issue and seemed determine to help me out.  

I received a call back from one of the guys and they wanted to see if they could talk me through a fix over the phone.  It ended up being more than what he initially thought but the first thing he said was I don't want you to have to pay for this if we can do it over the phone.  I thought that was awesome.  

Kent ended up coming out and helped me get back online.  It took a little bit of exploring my building to figure out the overarching issue but he definitely kept me at ease.  He also replaced the switch for me and ended up giving me a piece of advice on something with track lighting that I was about to pay $1,000 to replace.  I just felt like Kent is an honest and hardworking business owner.  I am keeping his number in the front of my virtual rolodex for sure.

Lesson 1:  Never screwing with the electricity again
Lesson 2: Call Skyline when electric work in needed

I had several outlets added and they made a good suggetion on how to do it in a less expensive and more effective manner. It was actually a much better idea than I had suggested to them. Well done.

Needed electric in the ceiling to replace outdated Hollywood bathroom lights with pendants in my loop condo as well as add a few outlets and cable box for behind my TVs on the walls to hide all of the wires.  Jeanette made the process run smoothly from getting pictures of what I needed to getting the necessary paperwork to my building management team, she kept me informed the whole way.  Tomasz showed up with everything he needed and more.  He did such a great job, all within the expected time and budget.  Being new to the area, I've had a difficult time finding reliable companies to do work in my condo.  Skyline was fantastic to work with, will absolutely use them again in the future.

I did try to keep my word and hired them the first opportunity I got. Unfortunately, there was a situation with the part coming in two weeks later after a handyman tried to fix it on his own. By the time the part came, they couldn't do a same-day repair (that was the prior ETA). And then the day they were set to come, they needed two more hours because of a complication at another home. Things happen. This was a repair I needed completed a MONTH before, so I just couldn't wait four more days (after the holiday). Still though, Jeanette was really patient, responded immediately and tried to explain the situation. I still give them credit for great customer service and saving me money with the other scenario (broken light switch). I just never got to actually get a technician out here due to time complications. Maybe next time!

Skyline is amazing and I'd highly recommend them. Called to see if they could hang a heavy RH chandelier from our 14 foot ceiling. They scheduled it quickly and did a fantastic job. We're newer to Chicago and didn't know who to call, so we researched on Yelp.

The electricians Tomasz & Barr were careful, super nice, thoughtful and professional. And Jeanette who coordinated is so friendly, with excellent follow-up. Exceptional customer service - a rarity these days. And you can also text to communicate which is easier for me. What a great experience all around.  Will definitely be using them for all electrical work in the future!

Hands down not only some of the best electricians, but best workers that I've hired. The whole team was fast, punctual, detailed oriented and even cleaned up. I had them install ceiling fans, closet lights, and fix some bad electrical work. Hired them again to install outlets for a TV and locate some low voltage speaker wire.

I will use Skyline again for anything electric while I'm in the city.

This is one of the BEST businesses I have dealt with, not just electrical but in general.

Service was outstanding. We were able to have the work scheduled almost immediately from my first call. They came out the following morning, and they arrived early! Electricity was out to half our place, and they fixed the problem within 20 minutes.

The price is exactly as they quoted, and it was a fair price.

I give Skyline Electric my HIGHEST review possible! I am really impressed with every aspect of their business. As a business owner, I am  going to think about them and how to run my business.

We had a stellar experience with the team at Skyline! We got a few additional quotes before we got in touch with them to compare pricing, and we found Skyline pricing to be very reasonable and competitive.

Jeanette, Kent and Tomaz were all great to work with. Jeanette is kind, highly responsive, and very easy to communicate with from scheduling through completion of the project.

Kent and Tomaz are both highly knowledgable and very hardworking! They spent the entire day at our house working nonstop until the job was complete It was very impressive, and they did so without compromising any quality. Everything looks great and solid as a rock!

They installed all new conduit, 4 new six inch recessed can lights on a dimmer, 5 new outlet boxes beautifully mounted on our exposed brick walls, a motion activated LED light in our closet, and last but not least they replaced our old 20 space breaker with a new 30 place breaker.

We would highly recommend Skyline to anyone, and we'll be sure to call them up for all of our future electrical needs. Thanks again!

Kent and Tomas worked all day to install my undercounter lights, Ring doorbell, and spotlight.  They did an excellent job and I couldn't be happier. The lights are awesome, really brightens up the space and can be dimmed for more mood lighting.  Jeannette in the office coordinated with me and kept me updated on arrival times, and prices.  If I ever need anything electrical again, Skyline will definitely be my choice.

They are the best. We had two water pipes freeze during the polar vortex in our laundry room because we had no heat. I called Jeanette at Skyline to ask if they could install some baseboard electric heaters. Kent and his team came out on Friday and Kent told me I would have had to buy 4 of these baseboard heaters if I was going to get them to work. Instead, he realized right then and there that the better option was to heat the space like a garage and install a garage heater. I did not even know these existed, but looked them up and sure enough that is what we did. He did not charge for their time on Friday to come out and look at everything. Alex, who is also awesome, came out Saturday to get everything setup so that once we bought the heater, it would be really quick to install. The heater came on Monday and Alex was able to come out first thing Wednesday morning and hook it up. On the lowest setting and close to the lowest heat level it keeps the entire space warm, and I have not even insulated well yet.

Kent is one of the few remaining tradesmen who I have always found to be honest, caring, and wanting to make sure the job is done right and that the right job is done. I wish the rest of the contractors we worked with had his integrity, but at least we will always have a great electrician

Friendliest and most responsive home services business I've ever worked with. Was super easy to make an appointment to replace my fuse box with a switch system, and on the day of the appointment, they texted me to let me know exactly what time they were coming. And Kent the electrician was right on time.

These guys have been in business for over a hundred years, from grandfather to grandson, and have serviced my particular building since it was built 60 years ago. Courteous, knowledgeable, and quick. Thank you so much, now I don't have to worry about my fuse going out constantly. Peace of mind achieved.

These guys are great. I hired Skyline to fix the front and back lights for our 3 story building in Lincoln Park a couple of years ago, and had them work on multiple things for my own condo today. They are all very professional and knowledgeable!
Both Kent from a couple of years ago, and Tom with his buddy boy helper :) who were here today, did a great job. And when Tom did not have a tool he needed to cut the kitchen island cabinet, so that it would not crack, he called the office and had the right tools delivered very quickly. Jeanette, who is the owner (i think) and handles appointments, is awesome too. Highly recommend this company!

I called Skyline Electric since they were highly rated on yelp.  I saw that my address was outside of their service area but thought at the very least I might be able to get a recommendation.  I spoke to Jeanette who couldn't have been nicer.  She listened to me explain my problem which was complex.  Since I was outside of their service area, she was able to recommend Highlights Chicago electrical services and also recommended a plumbing company in case my problem required that kind of service.  I was so relieved to get these recommendations that even though Skyline didn't do any work for me, I wanted to leave a review.  Thanks Jeanette.

responsive and knowledgeable. updated the breakers in my condo prior to sale. reasonably priced, honest and fair.

Really bad customer service! The lady hung up the phone on me twice and screamed at me for no reason. Buying a home with extensive electrical work, I will never do business with them.

I have to say, that was the most off putting conversation I've ever had with someone. The receptionist who answers the phone at Skyline Electric should not have a job.

I called and asked for an electrician to come out for a few projects at our new condo. While the conversation started nicely, it only went downhill. We have just a few short projects, yet she recommended 2 electricians because they don't want to just hang at our house all day. I understand
and that's fine, however, I was told I would also be charged more $$ to have both electricians, when just 1 could easily handle the work. I proceeded to ask if we could just have one electrician (since this was easily the cheaper option) and she said, well aren't you calling an electrician because you can't do the work yourself? Yes, we are, however I don't need to pay more for this service if I don't need to.

She was so condescending and rude I would never recommend Skyline Electric. Her attitude is unacceptable. When I kindly offered to call someone else and she said I wish you would and hung up on me. Wow, failing at customer service.

We chose Skyline Electric because their reviews are so good and we are very, very satisfied. Kent and Jeanette are so nice to work with. Kent is a third generation electrician with decades of experience. He directed his very capable and friendly employees (both named Alex) and gave me options on what kind of lighting and how it should be installed depending on how much I wanted to spend. They thoroughly cleaned up after they were done.
Totally great experience. I am putting their contact info in my phone for the next time I need a great electrician.
2 thumbs up!

If you are looking for a reliable, efficient, fantastic, and reasonably-priced electrician in Chicago, check out Skyline Electric. As homeowners, this was our first time dealing with electrical issues and it was hard to know who to trust. Jeanette promptly responded to our inquiry and Kent stopped by that weekend to fix our lighting when it was convenient for us. This company is a gem and we will be using them for all electrical issues that come our way in the future. Thanks, Skyline!

I called a few different companies about the work I needed done and they all said it would take 4 hours. Kent and Aldo did the same work in one hour.

One of the parts needed to fix a light fixture wasn't available however Kent was willing to come by the next morning (Sunday) to finish the job so I wouldn't have to take off work during the week.

Kent was really great about communicating when they would arrive. He was very friendly and gives a lot of advice on how to take care of the lights.

The price was very fair and their work was quality. I will be recommending Skyline Electric to all my friends.

Exceeded expectations - might have just found my electrician.

We had a roof leak which damaged the radiant floor thermostat directly below. I called Skyline Electric to replace it & also decided to add a new outlet since I'd have an electrician on site.

Skyline asked me to text photos of the job in advance, which I thought was very clever. Aldo came out the very next morning. And it's a small gesture, but I really appreciate that he automatically removed his shoes without me asking.
The thermostat replacement went smoothly. The outlet addition was a bit of a challenge due to my particular house, but Aldo explained everything and my options very clearly. Even Jeannette from Skyline called me during the visit to confirm details. It's refreshing to see a business communicate with their customer so effectively.
Another company gave an estimate on the exact same work for the new outlet last year and it was astronomical, so it didn't happen until I found Skyline Electric. Happy to recommend them!

Kent sent Tomasz over to install a new receiver in a ceiling fan so that it would work with the remote.  It wasn't an easy job because the fan had to be disassembled in order for the new receiver to be put in.  Tomasz knew what he was doing.  We were very impressed. We have a new electrician! A company willing to do little jobs. We had to wait awhile to get an appointment.  That just shows how busy and popular they are.

I hired Skyline Electric to upgrade my electric service so I would have enough amperage in my breaker box to power a tankless water heater.

Kent was able to upgrade my panel to handle the additional load and - I gained a whole new closet by getting rid of the tank. If you live in a small place without much storage, consider hiring Kent to upgrade your service for you so you, too, can lose the tank and gain a closet. With a tankless water heater, you have an unlimited supply of hot water. Take as many showers as you like, you'll never run out.

The work required two visits. He was always on time - or kept me posted if he was going to be a little behind. Super nice guy. Seemed to be totally qualified and has a great sense of humor to boot.

Thanks to Kent and the scheduling team for working me in during your busy time and taking such care in your workmanship. I'll be happy to refer you to friends . . . as well as other Yelpers!

Excellent experience working with Skyline Electric.

Electrician, Kent, is a strait shooter and will tell you like it is. NO BS. Straight to work and completed everything like he said he would.

Originally my appointment was forgotten about, but as soon as I called them they rearranged Kent's schedule. Not many places will do that, especially around the holidays.

Very commendable work ethic with good pricing. Couldn't ask for a better electrician. Would recommend 10 out of 10 times.

I called them a week before Christmas this year because I needed them to install some wall outlets for some TVs that needed to be mounted. I needed them to come out before Christmas because I had already scheduled the tv mounting. They were a able to schedule me in! They are very responsive and scheduling was a breeze.
Kent came over and did an excellent job. Kent did excellent work with minimal and precise cuts to the drywall which was easily fixed. I would highly recommend them. I will need some additional electrical work and will definitely call them in the near future.

I had the power go out in my master bedroom in the mid afternoon and needed the problem to be fixed urgently. After looking up a few electricians in my area, I went with Skyline because they were the most responsive and could get someone to my place on the same day. It was also extremely helpful that I could text them, including sending them a picture of the issue. This was a major contrast to a few other electricians I found on yelp who did not even pick up their phones.

They called ahead to diagnose the issue and then the electrician came prepared with the proper parts and equipment. Service was professional, courteous, and excellent. The electrician (Jacob) even answered my questions about what he was doing so I could learn from him.

The invoice was sent promptly after the service, and when I called to ask a question about the billing, Jeanette explained everything to me in a honest and straightforward manner.

10/10 would recommend to a friend.

The home inspector said that my fusebox should be replaced with a circuit breaker box. I called Kent in the evening one day - I think it may have been 4-6PM to leave a voicemail - and he picked up on the first ring. It almost shocked me (no pun intended) that he answered right away. I described my fusebox as he asked his questions. He told me that without seeing the fusebox firsthand, he estimated that the cost for replacing it would run me about $400-800. He told me to text him some pics of the inside of the fusebox and then he could give me a better estimate of the cost.

A few days later, I began texting him the 6 pics. I barely got through sending him the 3rd pic when Kent called me and asked me if the fusebox was in my unit or in a basement. I told him it was in the basement. Then Kent said that in that case, this would be an easy job and would cost me $500. He also told me that if he spotted other electrical problems that were easy to fix, he'd fix them at no extra charge.

This was fortunate because the home inspector didn't notice that my dining room light fixture was not working. Moreover, the light switch in the dining room actually turns on the kitchen light fixture - odd, I know! The $500 seemed reasonable to me. The home inspector had said that it would cost about $700-725 to replace the fusebox, and I've seen quotes as high as $1500.

Kent and Bob were to arrive at 9AM on Saturday. Knowing how these things can run overtime, I had blocked out the entire day for them, even though Kent said it wouldn't take too long. At about 7:15AM, Kent texted me to say that they had to revisit a client from yesterday's work to install a light dimmer and would be coming to my place at 10AM instead.

At 9:46AM, Kent texted me again to say he would be 30 minutes late. Apparently, he and Bob had to drop off an electrical outlet faceplate with a different client and was having problems with a prejudiced doorman. Kent and Bob finally arrived at 11:10AM - about 2 hours past their scheduled arrival time. I tend to be a patient man by nature, so I wasn't really angry. I guess it was also hard to be angry when Kent explained about the prejudiced doorman at the last client's building. Apparently, the doorman wouldn't let Kent go up to the 21st floor because it didn't exist, and Kent was trying to convince the doorman that, yes, the 21st floor does exist because he had done electrical work last week for the client who lives on that floor!

Bob - also, a very nice and friendly guy, by the way - parked their van, while I took Kent to the basement. After he took out the circuit breaker box out of the packaging, it turned out the circuit breaker box was an inch too wide for the fusebox space (I had given Kent the dimensions of the fusebox in earlier text messages.). So Kent and Bob had to go back out to pick up another box. It was about 12:43PM before they returned. Kent told me it would take about an hour and a half to get the new box installed.

At about 2:15PM, Kent texted me saying the circuit breaker box was installed - about an hour and half installation, like he said. Also, he told me that one of my neighbors had tapped into my electrical supply as well as into two other neighbors', milking our electricity. I was amazed and had no clue that there was an electrical thief in my building. Kent said he had removed the tap on my electrical supply but didn't touch the taps on the other neighbors' electrical supply to avoid potential legal problems.

Next, I showed Kent my problem with the dining room's light fixture. He flipped on the light switch in the dining room, checked the light fixture itself, etc. Then he went into my living room and saw the panel containing a light switch and a dial that I never figured out what it did because it didn't seem to do anything when you turned it. Kent immediately took off the faceplate and removed the dial and fiddled with some wiring . . .and then my dining room lights came on! I was ecstatic after a month of eating my dinner under a desk lamp. He explained that the dial was a burnt-out light dimmer switch. He had a spare light switch handy, connected all of the wires to the switch, and replaced the faceplate, working quickly and disserting on a variety of topics - very humorous!

What can I say in conclusion? True, there were some hiccups along the way: the 2-hour delay and the mixup with the incorrectly sized circuit breaker box. But once Kent and Bob got the correct circuit breaker box, they worked like mad men to install it quickly, within the time frame Kent had told me. He also took out the thief's tap on my electrical supply and fixed my dining room light switch at no extra charge. The price of $500 for the entire job seemed reasonable to me. Finally, Kent was very good about contacting me quickly via phone and text and giving me updates. The firm does give free estimates on jobs. I will say to anyone who plans on using Skyline to be aware that they are extremely busy.

Skyline Electric was AWESOME to work with!  They showed up exactly around when they said they would and completed all the work quickly.  They also went above and beyond by recommending that I not change all of the outlets that I originally was going to since they checked each one and tightened everything and they looked good!  I appreciated the honesty and that they still checked them and tightened everything up.  Great company & I will definitely be using them for all my future electrical needs!

I called Skyline to see if they service my area in Elmwood Park and the lady was super nice! She said they do not service my area but she offered two recommendations and provided me with their phone number to reach out.

I wanted to leave a review based on their great service over the phone and willingness to provide a recommendation outside of their area.

Currently in process of working with their recommendation now.

Amazing service!!! This company truly understands customer service. I called Skyline Electric this afternoon because I bought a new wifi light switch and wanted to replace the one in the wall. They quoted me roughly $100 because that's the minimum to come out, which I learned is standard for all Chicago-area electricians.

Where Skyline differs from other electricians, however, is when I told them this is out of my price range. They said for something this simple they'd gladly FaceTime me and walk me through all the steps, free of charge.

And here I am, with a new wifi light switch and knowledge of what different colored wires mean :)

Kent and his crew were thorough and professional with a major electrical overhaul at our newly purchased house. Jeanette was very nice, quick to respond and helped a lot with the communication. There were a few scheduling hiccups along the way but the quality of the work was worth the minor inconveniences. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable and honest electrical services.

Update March 2020 - called on Skyline again for some help installing GFCI outlets in our kitchen. Nick was able to come out the next day and took care of the situation the handyman we called before couldn't handle. Was very impressed again with Jeanette's great communication and Nick's professional work! Easy five stars for these guys.

This guy.

Seriously.

Kent is hilarious, blunt and knows his stuff inside and out. Exactly what you hope for in a contractor but so rarely find.

I got his info from a friend, and we communicated via text for a bit until he was able to come out. He arrived at 4 and left at 6. In that time, he replaced one big chandelier with another, figured out why we seemingly had no power running to our Nest Alert smoke & carbon monoxide detectors, and told us a million stories that are so hard to believe... except you believe them, because he's Kent. And also, because he has the pictures to prove it.

I've never met anyone like Kent. And now there's no way I'll ever hire anyone else for electrical issues. He's a real pro who's actually fun to have in your house.

Word to the wise, he's a busy guy, so have some patience as far as getting him to your place. I promise it's worth it.

I had ANOTHER superior experience with Skyline Electric. I was again impressed with their honesty and thoughtfulness.  They are great electricians, handle the administrative details accurately and efficiently and they take the time to make sure the customer is happy with the outcome!

When I called (after reading YELP reviews) I gave info on what problems I had (along with what I thought needed to be done). I was surprised to receive a call from the owner. He wanted to work with me over the phone to possibly resolve the issue (for free!) and eliminate the need for a service call.  Who does that??  We weren't able to fix it, so his guys came out. Very professional and friendly.   We still had problems with an old fixture. The owner came to work with his crew, but didn't charge me for this extra time.   My bill was very reasonable and all matters were fixed. Skyline is now my  electrician.

Skyline electric was a great choice. They were communicative(through text- yay!) and easy to work with. They were able to work with me and my finicky building management to make what I wanted happen. Kent explained what he was doing thoroughly, and when something didn't function like it was supposed to in the end he promptly went back and corrected it.

Best part was that he found a way to perform the installation with 0 wall damage whatsoever, which I thought was an impossibility going. If you need a high rise electrician I strongly recommend. I am going to have him install my Nest next!

Easily the smoothest customer experience we've had with any type of contractor in Chicago.  Called the operator and explained the problem, and she offered to either send her own technician or refer us to someone she trusted.  Within 4 hours the technician arrived, diagnosed the issue (faulty outdoor gfci), solved the problem and even future-proofed the outdoor gfci box with silicone.  Will definitely be the first call for any electrical issues!

Absolutely loved their service. They were quick to answer phone calls and emails. They had best pricing to installed outlet for my Tesla. Scheduled service with ease and they came on time and quick install. No issues and after a year, still works wonderful.

We were housesitting for our son who was on his honeymoon. We found that he has an electric line problem and a ceiling fan that did not work.  We called Skyline Electric because it had such a great Yelp rating.  They had a cancellation and were able to send an electrician the same afternoon after I called.  They were quickly able to fix the electric line problem, but the fan was a little more difficult.  The ceiling fan was removed and replaced from a 14ft ceiling. They had to bring a 12ft ladder up 4 flights of steps.  After replacing the fan, it was found that the switch that came with the fan was defective.  Keith, the owner, came with a new switch that provided 3 speeds for the fan.  This switch is actually better than the one provided with the fan.

This is a family run business that is every bit as good as the other Yelp comments indicate.  My wife and I are so happy that we found a great, honest electrician for our son and his wife.   Larry S

Honest.  Quick response time.  Easy scheduling.  A+

I'm so glad I called Kent.  He made a housecall but because it was something so easy to fix (a switch out of place...  I swear, I troubleshooted), he didn't charge the normal rate for the visit.  Honestly, what a great guy to do that...  I was totally on the hook for the full amount.

On another note, when an appliance in your house breaks, you probably want it fixed asap.  I called Kent on a Saturday, prepared to leave a message, and was shocked when someone picked up.

I will come to this team for every electrical need I have in the future, for sure!

Thanks!!

I ordered a curricular shaped chandelier (pictured) and was very excited to put it up! I called Skyline Electric due to the positive reviews on Yelp. I scheduled an electrician on Friday but he was unable to complete the job because the way that the chandelier was constructed was very unique. I felt disappointed that it wasn't able to be done... but that's when the customer service kicked in. I received a call immediately after from the owner to discuss the circumstances. The very next morning, the owner and the supervising electrician personally came to our home to inspect the chandelier and they were able to successfully install the piece quickly and efficiently while being extremely kind and professional. I would recommend Skyline highly and would look forward to working with them again.

Great communication, fast and accurate service. The first 30 minutes are $125 and then they charge an hourly rate, I think about $85.

I called a ton of electricians on a Saturday afternoon as the outlet in my bathroom broke leaving me without any bathroom outlet.  A few people called back with way higher prices, saying they couldn't come until Tuesday or Thursday of the following week!  

Kent came the same day and fixed the bathroom outlet and also a bedroom one that had been broken over a year.

I will definitely give him a call if I need any future work.

They answered my call promptly, ask for all the information needed to save repair time, was able to schedule same day since there's opening. Electrician able to explain everything and clean up after the job. Very well recommended and will use again!

I contacted SkyLine Electric on behalf of my condo association a couple of times earlier this year. I've worked with quite a few contractors over the years and can honestly say that I've never had such a positive experience before. Everyone that I spoke with and/or met from the Skyline team was extremely professional and responsive. They're straight shooters and demonstrate the highest integrity in their work. I appreciate working with a team that's truly vested in delivering top notch service to their customers.

Yesterday I had my first experience with Skyline Electric.  I called the day before after having a mishap during a remodel when our floor installer accidentally cut through conduit and severed the electrical line.  They sent two electricians who fixed the problem in an hour and one half.  Tom and Nic were efficient, knowledgeable and reasonable priced.  They were careful and even cleaned up the debris after they finished.  Since this was a condo I needed proof of liability insurance and an electrical license before the work began.  The office was able to provide this.  I am very happy and relieved to have found a reliable electrician in the Gold Coast in Chicago that knows what they are doing, is licensed and does not overcharge.

Seriously the best.   Kent is beyond good.   Willing to help over the phone to assess what is needed before committing to anything.  They are not trying to rip you off and I appreciate that

I will be hiring them for future work too

Working with Skyline Electric was perfect.  Kent and Jeanette are very thorough in communication, friendly and easy to work with.  I had some electric work done in my kitchen.  Skyline Electric is very reasonably priced, I would use them and recommend to anybody and everybody!

This was the second time we used skyline electric and yet again they were incredibly efficient and did an amazing job.  They have installed light fixtures, fixed outlets,  ripped out an old security system and installed a whole new one.  They even fixed our challenging door bell situation.  We won't go to anyone else for electrical work.  They are also really easy to schedule and show up on time and are very courteous and friendly.

From start to finish, every time I have called and used Skyline the service I have received has been absolutely five-star. Jeannette, who you will speak to if you call, is the nicest, most accommodating business owner I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with. As a single woman, have felt really jived by plumbers and other home services providers. Not the case at all with Skyline. Professional, sincere, easy to work with. Would never call anyone else.

EXCELLENT SERVICE !!!!! I was desperately for an electrician to come and service our company for what we thought was an electrical outlet issue.  They were at our location within 20 minutes. They were able to assess the problem, provide a solution and provide immaculate service.  Skyline Electric has become our go to electrician.

Look no further, you have found the only electrician you will ever need in Chicago!

Everything about my experience working with Skyline was perfectly professional, fair, and well-executed. Jeanette runs the office and is very responsive/communicative. She scheduled my first appointment right on the phone with me when I called, clearly communicated expectations about how long the work would take and how they bill for time and materials, and promptly shared an easy-to-understand invoice with my as soon as the work was done. Kent, the main electrician, called me in the morning the day of to let me know exactly when he would arrive. He carried all his gear in quickly and got to work after explaining what he was going to do. In his words, he's able to walk and chew gum at the same time, answering my numerous questions and explaining what he was doing all while doing the work he needed to do. At the end, he took photos of the work he done, took a lap around the unit with me to check off all of our to-dos, and explained what I would be charged for. I feel very confident in his work and I appreciated his patience and attention to detail. Their pricing is extremely fair, reasonable, and transparent (a hard thing to find in the world of contractors), and I will surely be returning to them for any future needs - so should you!

I recently purchased my first home and had some light electrical work done to wire and mount a tv in my living room. This was my first home improvement project, and both employees were excellent at communicating what they were about to do and asked how I wanted the work done.

They left my home in great condition and completed the work within the time/cost I was originally quoted. Would definitely recommend.

I called Skyline Electric on Monday to request an electrician replace a possibly defective GFCI outlet in a bathroom that kept tripping. Jeanette responded quickly and was very nice to talk with in scheduling the repair appointment. The repair could have been completed the next day, but there was a delay on my end and I forgot to follow up with her. I appreciate Jeanette's follow-up, and also electrician Alex's friendliness and professionalism in completing the work today. Skyline will be my electrician for future work.

Just had the fluorescent strips in our kitchen ceiling light replaced with an LED strip. Service was outstanding, and the technician completed the job in about forty-five minutes. He also explained exactly what he was going to do. Prices are very reasonable. We will definitely have them come back to work on several other projects we need done.

Great work and great customer service! I called and spoke with Kent who was very responsive, friendly and reasonable priced. He and Bob came to my place and installed a heavy crystal chandelier with no issues at all. The work was very professionally done and they were both a pleasure to work with.  I strongly recommend using them!

One of my tenants called me on a Saturday to let me know that the power to her apartment hadn't come back on after a neighborhood power outage ended. I called Skyline based on the Yelp reviews that I read and these guys did not disappoint. They were able to go to the apartment and determine that no extensive work was required, just a couple of fuses needed to be cleaned. As an out of town landlord, I would have had to trust whatever they had said. Their honesty and quick response on a weekend has made Skyline my new go to people for any future electrical work.

We've had Kent and his crew come over twice to our house, and I can't say enough great things about their service. Class act! If you're looking for an honest, reliable electrician, look no further. His wife Jeanette handles the customer intake and is highly responsive and accommodating. I wish that all tradespeople are as great as Kent and his team are.

It  supposedly take 15 minutes to install a simple light fixtures but they play there for 3 hours and act like taking the light fixture back on and off. They move slow like turtle and kill time to earn money. If you ever like to have fun with them like that and waste your money like this, go for it.

We had a short circuit in the conduit that tripped the breaker constantly. The only way to diagnose the problem was to pull new wire via the existing conduit. Aldo was excellent. He can think and figure out a problem quickly. His attention to detail is also great. He is experienced and it shows. He is able to look in a junction box and know where the wires are coming from and going to.

All in all the job took over 4 hours. The lights are back on.
They are courteous, the initial estimate was quite accurate, the knowledge was good, and they were there on time. I would hire again.

I had Skyline Electric come install a Common wire on my Nest thermostat, which involved moving my washer/dryer in a cramped closet. Alex handled everything with care - wore a face mask, took shoes off before entering, wiped down surfaces and swept after the job was done and the thermostat is working perfectly. Would definitely hire again for any future work.

Wow!!  Since buying my vintage home in Andersonville we have had one issue after another. People are scared to do work in our home because they are not experienced in working with older homes. Not only was Kent extremely knowledgeable, he was very personable. I felt completely comfortable and trusted his expertise. No surprise or hidden costs.  By and far one of the best experiences yet with creating our dream home. Thanks Skyline, and thanks Kent!!

This was an excellent experience.  Not only did Kent fix the issue with our electric box that I called him for but also took a look and fixed an issue we had with a bathroom light fixture that I mentioned to him while he was here at no extra cost.  He clearly takes a lot of pride in his work and wants to make sure that he leaves you with everything working well and with peace of mind. He was also really great finding a time that really worked for me, and staying in touch via text.

Honestly the best experience I've had while moving into and setting up our new house.

Skyline (Kent) provided nothing but the best in terms of service. I had used another provider for a similar work request before and Kent completed the same work order in about one third of the time and was far superior. His expertise really showed through in dealing with the specifics of my electrical wiring in an apt. in a high rise in River North.

He has been doing this for a long time and truly understands what he is doing. I thank him for making my life painless for what I view as a generally painful undertaking in which I know very little about.

I feel the need to add to my previous review, because Kent is a TRUE professional. We had an issue with one of our fixtures and Kent took the time on a SUNDAY to rush over and ensure everything was ok. He identified the problem and was willing to help in any way he could. I can not recommend Skyline enough. Found my one and only electrician.

HIGHLY RECCOMEND. Kent did excellent work hanging chandeliers in my condo downtown. Very professional and made sure everything was completed to PERFECTION. Always very responsive and made himself available to accommodate our schedule. Will definitely be using him again.

Really enjoyed working with Skyline Electric from the initial phone call to the final outcome. The staff was very helpful when I was looking for a quote for 2 projects and made a great effort to fit us in quickly. The final outcome was exactly what we were looking for! The under cabinet lighting is just beautiful and makes our kitchen look so much brighter! Would highly recommend them for any electrical needs in your home.

These guys are amazing! I can't say more about how great of a job they did. Kent took the project head on after another Electrican said the project was not possible. His team of Ollie , alex and  Tom were terrific. Ollie was the MVP of the job and was able to get under the house to install a new 50 amp line. These guys also helped get my hottub over the wall when the delivery guys needed an extra hand. Kent did a great job hooking up the hot tub and by the end of the second day everything was good to go. Tom was the main point man on the job and really worked his tail off to make everything work. Jeanette did an amazing job coordinating everything from the first quote to scheduling the job. Overall I'm super happy and pleased, I don't often leave reviews but these guys deserve it. Kent is the best in the business and I look forward to using his team again on future projects.

I've hired Skyline for several jobs and could not be more pleased with their service. They initially replaced a very old electrical panel with a new modern circuit breaker system. And recently, they came out on short notice to re-wire the power source to my AC unit to get it to work. Kent is an awesome guy who does great work and is 100% honest and fair. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get any sort of electrical work completed.

Very good customer service. You can reach Kent 24/7. Come out quick even on the weekend. He did as he promised. Good Job
A++
@saimai thai Lincoln Park.

Yet another 5-star review for Kent!  I'd been saving up a bunch of little and big-ish electrical jobs in my house for a while and finally decided to bite the bullet. I hired Kent based on the yelp reviews and was NOT disappointed.  He and Jeannette (his scheduler) were SO attentive and communicative with me from the get-go.  He was slammed with some huge emergency kind of jobs for bigger clients, but he and Jeannette made sure to schedule time for my non-emergency stuff, and even offered to come to my place on an evening or weekend for no extra charge.

He really considers every job equally important.  His pricing was very competitive, and my jobs (from switching out some hanging lamps, putting in a new halogen bulb, to bigger jobs like bringing an electrical outlet to my outdoor deck) were not going to make him a millionaire, but he treated me like they would. He's a perfectionist and wouldn't allow my lamp to hang from the ceiling any way but the exact length and direction I wanted.

Plus he's so much fun to work with.  He's hilarious, down to earth, and has stories that will blow your mind.  At the same time, he's extremely professional, knowledgable and meticulous about his work.  He comes from a long line of electricians in his family and takes his work and your safety very seriously.

And i haven't even mentioned Bob yet.  Bob came with Kent the second time out, and he was just as warm, friendly and professional as Kent.  My house presented loads of century-old challenges to them, but they did NOT charge me extra for the extra work.  They stayed true to their quote.  I love these guys and feel like I have electricians in the family now.  I'll definitely be calling Kent for my next job.

Kent is the only electrician you'll ever need. Not to mention that he is practically available any time (weekend or nighttime, it really does not matter). Arrived exactly when he said he will and did the job in 15min! Even cleaned after himself. I would give him 10 stars if that was possible.

We are so grateful for Skyline Electric!  I called Jeanette this morning with a bit of an emergency (or so I thought).  Unfortunately, they were busy with a project further away than normal but she offered to connect me to Kent (the owner) to at least talk to him.  He was so kind to assist during his drive and ease my mind a bit.  I'm so grateful so companies that actually care.  Thank you Kent and Jeanette (SP?)!

Great experience with Skyline Electric. Kent is a skilled electrician and takes great pride in his work. He ensured I was 100% satisfied with the work. Highly recommend them!

Kent is a straight shooting electrician. He'll tell you exactly what he can and can't do and he provides it at a very fair price. The work that he did at my condo was wiring for a new electric stove. Him and his other employee showed up timely and completed the work very quickly while maintaining high standards of quality. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the Chicagoland area.

I'm glad I met Kent. He's not your typical contractor/ electrician. He's there to help and not gouge on pricing.

I was having garage opener issues and Kent agreed to come by and check the power to my garage. He came out on a Sunday too. Now that's service!

Kent worked through testing the wiring and told some great stories.

Bottom line: great experience. I will hire him exclusively for all things electrical and will recommend him to all friends. You will not be disappointed.

I'm so glad that I called Skyline Electric. I had been having a problem with my track light fixture as the lightbulbs that I put in would never stay lit. I reached out to Skyline and they were really fast and responsive. Two days later they came out and fixed it quickly. The service was fast and friendly. I would call them for any other electrical needs I have. Easy breezy!

Kent was amazing!  He arrived and in only a few minutes he had diagnosed the problem and given us an estimate.  He was super professional and polite and personable -- he even asked permission to answer his phone when it rang!  He fixed everything in about half an hour, and the work was very reasonably priced.  
I found this company after reading several favorable reviews on Yelp, but was skeptical, because I thought, How could they all be positive?  But now I know why!  I was very impressed with this company after several electricians from other companies were extremely unprofessional and unable to fix the problem!  Nice to finally have someone who knows what he is doing!  Highly recommend this company!

Kent with Skyline Electric was fast and professional. He was able to come out to our home the same afternoon we called and solved our electrical issue quickly for much less than we expected. I highly recommend Skyline Electric!

Very helpful. I'm out of town and they replaced a light fixture in my kitchen and were very easy to work with. Good communicators.

Great service, very friendly, made me feel like I was in good hands. Not an easy job but they never gave up and kept coming up with solutions until they got it exactly right. I could not be happier. Thank you again!!!

I used Skyline Electric to do a full days worth of work on my condo in the city, basically fixing everything the inspector had found when we were closing on the condo.  Kent and Aldo were fantastic, completed the entire list, priced fairly, and gave advice throughout on the best way to do this or that, so it was both safe and cost effective.  They were able to adjust on the fly as I added things to the list as I identified them, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the final product.

Easy to schedule an appointment, appreciated being able to communicate through text instead of playing phone tag. In addition to helping with my lights he gave me advice on better light bulbs to use next time I need replacements. Worked quickly and efficiently. Thanks!

Thanks to Jeanette and Kent for their professionalism and skill in installing a 30-amp 240-volt breaker for us. They went above and beyond to get this taken care of safely and properly, and exhibited great care to not disrupt the household. We would highly recommend them.

So I was having a washer/dryer delivered and when the delivery people arrived they told me I could not have it put in since my previous washer/dryer was hardwired and they said I needed to have someone come install a new outlet.  

I looked around for an electrician to get some quotes and Jeannette who runs the office was extremely responsive and helpful with what I needed to do in order to make sure the job was able to be done correctly.  (No other company even got back to me)

I was not expecting them to be able to get here same day, but within a couple of hours from when I initially reached out Kent (the supervising electrician) was on his way over and did an amazing/fast/clean job.  

I will now never need to look for another electrician as Skyline has my business for the next couple of projects that need to get done.

If you want the best work and pricing give Skyline a call as you will be very satisfied!

Kent is the man. We called on a Sunday after an outlet shorted out in our rental unit. He showed up within 2 hours and fixed our problem. Saving us valuable time. I'll be recommending him to everyone

The outlet that my microwave was connected to wasn't working and after multiple failed attempts by other electricians, I called Skyline. Skyline came over and within minutes they knew the issue-- the electrical box. Instead of replacing the whole unit which was the recommendation from a different company, Skyline had a solution that would fix the issue and get the box up to code but also saved me a couple hundred dollars. Within a couple days from getting in contact with them, the issue was fixed and the guys working on it were nice, friendly and trustworthy. The quality is high end and they really pride themself on perfect work and won't stop until it's perfect. I've called them a couple other times to fix some light fixtures. Would 100% recommend them to family and friends

Excellent customer service! Went out of his way to help me with a ceiling fan installation, even on a Saturday night. Very communicative and straightforward. Will use going forward for all my electrical needs! Look no further for a great electrician!

Kent is amazing! He gets the job done quickly and inexpensively. He was able to work through some issues we had with our wiring. He definitely went the extra mile and make sure we were satisfied after the job was completed. I would highly recommend him for any electrical work whatsoever.

Skyline Electric had excellent customer service! From the person who answered the phone to the electrician who came out to help, everyone was very friendly and personable. My appointment was scheduled for Saturday morning and they promptly arrived and barely charged me for a minor switch problem. Communication was excellent, they went so far as to call me and let me know when they would be leaving and arriving so I knew exactly when to expect them - no waiting around or anything. I'd definitely recommend them in the future!

Kent and his team were absolutely fantastic! They worked extremely fast (took half the time I was quoted), picked up after themselves, and were very friendly. I had 3 flush mount light fixtures, 14 white outlets, and a hardwired smoke alarm installed and added a new outlet. They were so precise on the new outlet that they didn't even need to patch! I would hire them again in a heartbeat!! I couldn't be more satisfied.

Kent and his team are incredible. We had such a terrible experience with other electrician's estimates and Kent responded quickly,  professionally, and perfectly blunt. He fit us into his schedule in a very short time period and ran around town to pick up materials when he realized we were missing items. Would highly recommend him to anyone!

Called them up at 8:00pm on a Friday with an issue one of my tenants was having. Kenton told me that they don't like taking people's money for things they can easily to themselves. He walked me through what to do. It worked. I informed the tenant that they are an idiot. Integrity and fair dealing are the name of the game when it comes to contractors. I would give these guys a try.

Kent just came in today to install dimmer switches in my therapy treatment rooms. He also fixed a light that stopped working when another dimmer switch was installed improperly (not by him) previously. He was prompt, communicative, and in an out within 45 minutes! I couldn't have asked for better service and I'll definitely be calling Skyline again if I have any electrical issues.

Kent is an all-star electrician. You can tell electricity is second nature to him. He figured out a wicked problem that was happening to many of our lights. It wasn't easy and tested our patience, however, Kent was cool, calm, and collected and figured out the issue with precision and care - a lost neutral. I must also add, we had a number of laughs while he was here. A great electrician and a wonderful person.

Skyline Electric was the kind of service provider you hope for.  We had a catastrophic incident (a utility pole fell into our house) and we called Skyline but didn't leave a message, as they weren't able to answer at the time.  But they called us back because they saw a missed call, and they came out the same day (within a few hours of them calling us back), and they resolved our issue in less than 15 minutes - some luck, some obvious experience.  Kent was very helpful and knowledgeable.  I am duly impressed - this company deserves their high rating.

I first called Skyline when I had an issue with some lighting and Kent gave me free advice over the phone. A few months later I had tried to install a piece of track lighting myself and ended up damaging the track. I gave Skyline a call back and this time Kent came by the same day and was super helpful. He not only immediately fixed the track, but also went the extra mile and installed the piece of lighting that I had been trying to install! All while being super friendly and talking me through it. Definitely recommend!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Kent and his assistants, Alex and Aldo. We purchased an old bungalow and knew we'd need to have a few things fixed up, so we called Kent based on Yelp reviews. He was prompt in scheduling with us and thorough in trying to envision and estimate the price for the work ahead of time.

As soon as he got here, he noticed some serious issues that had been missed in our inspection. Over the course of 3.5 days, the three guys took care not only of our initial concerns, but also rewired the entire house and fixed several other things that were previously unsafe.

This is a family-owned business--all the more reason to support!--and they take incredible pride in their work. Kent was reasonably-priced, honest, and straightforward. Not to mention, he was able to rework his schedule to fit in many additional hours of work beyond what was initially planned.

Hoping we don't have to do any more electrical work in the future, but if we do, I know who we'll call. Highly recommend, hands-down!

My landlord contacted Kent on Friday morning for a non-emergency issue we were having in our apartment and he was out here next day. Very professional and he really knew his stuff! The problem was fixed in no time and he took the time to explain everything he was doing. Skyline Electric should be the number one call in any electrical situation.

Kent is amazing to work with. He is a true craftsman and did a superior job with installing recessed lights throughout our home and additional fixtures. Kent made sure everything turned out perfectly and has an impeccable attention to detail. Not only does Kent do a superior job, but Kent is a pleasure to work with -he was a great communicator about timing, was reliable, and spent extra time ensuring that our home was cleaned up in between each days work. We would highly recommend Skyline!

We are new to the area and Kent was recommended to us by one of our friends.  He installed lights in multiple rooms very professionally. He went above and beyond by helping us. I would highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.

There aren't enough stars on yelp to give Kent! I just purchased my condo and less than 2 weeks into living there, all the power in my two bedrooms stopped working. Having absolutely no idea how to fix this, I called Skyline in a panic at 7pm on a Friday night, and Kent was at my door at 7am the next morning. Talk about service! Then my problem turned out to be way more than we thought so Kent couldn't fix it right away but he was back on Sunday evening to finish the job. Kent was cordial, honest, and so patient with me - he explained what he was doing along the way and why so I could understand everything, and was upfront in regards to cost which I extremley appreciated as this wasn't a cost I thought I would be having. He went above and beyond for a first time client making him my hero and me a forever Skyline Electric client.

Kent is a great electrician but also a problem solver.  I had a crystal chandelier in need of repair before it was hung.  Kent was able to
fix the broken sections and hang the chandelier perfectly.  He also hung
an additional antique chandelier that also required TLC. Job was done well.
I feel lucky to finally have found some in Chicago that I can depend on.

This is the best experience with an electrician I've ever had.  I  had a small problem, and even knowing there wouldn't be much money in it, Kent came over at 8PM to solve the problem.  Here's what I noticed from spending a little time with Kent.
1.  Kent's knowledge of Chicago electrical codes is unsurpassed.
2.  He knows the strengths and weaknesses of  various manufacturers of electrical equipment going back years.
3.  He genuinely cares about helping people and solving problems.
4.  He has immense pride in his profession.  By the time he is finished, you have a completely different take on the importance of competent electricians.

I used Skyline electric to install a chandelier and update some lighting in my house. I also thought i had some electrical issues with some older lights. Kent came by with a team and quickly resolved that electrical issues were really light bulb issues (i am clearly not an even an ameatur electrician). He instructed the team on how to handle the rest including my chandelier and moving the electric box in the ceiling over. When it came time to put it up the chandelier Alex, the other master electrician, had me look at various heights and different angles to ensure we got it right before he cut the cords. I really appreciated all the attention to detail that i was not considering. Alex even ran to home depot last minute to get me a dimmer to complete the look. Overall the work was great, everyone was nice and professional. Lots of updates along the way. Would call them before i considered using anyone else.

Kent is a pleasure to work. He's got the professionalism and expertise you need in an electrician and works efficiently. The cost of service was very reasonable and I would highly recommend Skyline for electrical repairs and upgrades both large and small.

So a couple of nights ago the light in my son's room wouldn't turn on. Go to flip the fuse...and water starts dripping out. At 8 PM.

So I looked around for an electrician that was open, and I called Kent. I could tell he had just finished up a long day and wanted nothing more than to put his feet up. But he could tell I was worried about the situation, and agreed to come out. Half hour later, he was looking at my circuit breaker box.

Water was leaking in through some mounting screw holes in the back, so Kent actually ran out to a hardware store to procure some foaming material to plug it up, knowing that the weather was starting to turn much colder, and the freezing was only going to make things worse. Everything was done by 9:30.

Kent's earned my business.

Kent is absolutely amazing. We reached out about an inspection report on a house and he quickly assessed the pictures of the damage and let us know what repairs to expect. From just a picture he was able to derive much of the same information we got from the inspection and quickly gave us a quote for repairs. We are so impressed by Kent's technical knowledge and the way he handles business. I cannot thank him enough!

This was the first time using Kent and Skyline Electric; even though he didn't install the lighting at my house, he went out of his way to come over and repair the problems on the same day I called. He knew exactly what was wrong, came totally prepared and was so knowledgeable about all things electrical, including what type of bulbs I should get and how it would drop my electric bill. He fixed my 2 issues in 30 minutes and couldn't have been nicer. I will recommend him to others and will call him back should I ever need electrical repairs again. Highly, highly recommend!!

I found Skyline Electric on Yelp; I needed a reputable electrician to hang a chandelier in my dining room. I talked to Kent, and a few days later he was at my door, right on time for our scheduled appointment. What should have been an easy 1.5 hour job turned into 5 hours, and not because he was milking time, but because we ran into very unexpected issues. First, when we took my new chandelier out of the box some parts were bent. Kent fixed every little detail, making sure that it was as perfect as possible. Then, when he opened up my ceiling, Kent found that the pieces inside were bent, and hanging anything from them would result in disaster. He called up his partner Bob to make a Home Depot run for the parts necessary to fix the problem. In the meantime, he moved the chandelier socket and also patched a light switch in my kitchen that a previous contractor failed to do. Bob showed up with the materials, and the two men could not have paid more attention to detail when hanging the chandelier: Kent also offered to come back free of charge to sand & repaint where the old chandelier socket was and the spot in my kitchen. Overall, fantastic customer service, professional guys, and a company I will continue to use for all of my electrical needs!!!

Just moved into my new condo and wanted a Nest thermostat to replace my old setup. I purchased the device from Best Buy and asked them to install it but the Geek Squad dropped the ball in scheduling my appointment and I grew very frustrated.

Skyline came to the rescue and took on the project. What I didn't realize was that my heat/ac setup was unique and complex. Knowing this I realized that I picked the right company to do this. What I found reassuring was that Kent, who completed the project, was a certified Nest installer.

Kent was very helpful in walking me through each step of his installation process. Through no fault of his own he found that the first device I purchased was defective. We exchanged the bad Nest for a new one and the installation was finally completed.

Overall I think anyone else would have given up due to how complex the setup of my heating/cooling unit. But Kent kept at it and found a solution to my needs. I highly recommend Skyline. I plan on calling Kent again in a few months as I need a ceiling fan installed in my 2nd bedroom. Thanks so much Kent and Skyline for all your help and hard work!!!

Excellent customer service! I called to make an appointment and Kent was able to talk me through the repair over the phone.  The problem was taken care of and he helped save me the cost of a house call. I will be recommending Skyline Electric and plan to use them as my go to for all my electrical needs.  Thank you!

5 Stars for Skyline and staff. I have worked with various tradesmen in the course of buying/rehabbing/moving/selling condos. Kenton and staff came and took care of business in wiring and installing electrical outlets in the condo I have finally settled in to downsize. The entire process starting with Jeanette was seamless and efficient. THANK YOU ALL!

Skyline Electric was very easy to work with and come as soon as they could. I called several companies to give me a quote and Skyline gave me, not only the best quote but were the most honest about what I needed to be done. I would 100% recommend and use this company again.

I was looking forward to working with Kent given the quality of his reviews but I was quickly disappointed with his lack of follow-up. I contacted him initially about a project and after following his requests and receiving two separate assurances he would follow up with me, Kent never did. He seemed like a nice guy, but my first impression, unfortunately, was one who is unreliable and disorganized.

Reached out to Skyline to have a dimmer installed on my patio light. Scheduling was easy, Kent reached out to confirm and was on time. He was so nice and did a great job in the time estimated. He also brought several options of dimmers for me to choose what I liked best. He checked all of his work prior to leaving and I couldn't be happier! Also wonderful to support family owned, local business. Will use them again for sure!

All the 5 star reviews are true! Thanks to the Yelp community I used Skyline Electric to replace a 30-year old fuse box with a shiny new circuit breaker. They were incredibly down to earth and easy to work with. Kent is a third generation electrician with a great personality and he understands customer service and clearly takes pride in the work he does. They arrived on time, explained the process and gave me a fair quote. Will absolutely use them again in the future for all my electrical needs.

Not a great first impression when I spoke with the office person.  Very rough around the edges and short with me during basic call for information.  Why would I go further?

Kent and his wife saved Thanksgiving.  They made a house-call at 4:30 in the morning on Thanksgiving day...quickly diagnosing the problem and providing some power until Com-Ed was able to come out.  Absolutely above and beyond customer service.

Skyline is our go-to electrical work company. Last Summer they helped us with a big rewiring project, adding electric for a sump pump and washer/dryer and replaced all the light fixtures. They were so thoughtful, they even installed childproof outlets since we have little ones - I didn't even know that was possible! Pricing was excellent, came in right on estimate - I loved that. Quality work that makes our home feel safe again! They were in our house for over a week and you couldn't find a more cheerful crew with communication and integrity. Would absolutely recommend!

Don't look further for an electrician! Skyline is busy but more than worth the wait. We have a baby on the way and debated whether it was the right time financially to update the lighting in our dark home and when Kent, Alex, and Chris showed us the finished product, we were speechless! From start to finish they were on time, professional, kind, and, coming from someone who cleans the house after the cleaning woman leaves, they were immaculate! They even worked around my 120 lb dog who wanted to be one of the guys, saving us from having to take him to daycare. Can't say enough!

Excellent to work with! Great communication - Jeanette let me know as soon as she was aware that the electricians got caught up with an unexpected issue at the previous job so they may be 30 minutes late. Most companies wouldn't even bother informing me of that. Kent is friendly and explains everything that he is doing. He installed a new ceiling light fixture for me perfectly, he was meticulous about making sure it was exactly centered and that I was happy with it. I will definitely be calling Kent and Jeanette again next time I need an electrician!

Guys were great. They are super nice and very disicplined. Very professional and excellent craftsmen.

I am so impressed!! Generally don't do reviews. But feel compelled to. I found Skyline online, called Jeanette (who I just fell in love with for her timeliness, compassion, and communication). And then Kent showed up. He is incredible!! I called him a magician at one point. Clearly a master of his art. Not only was he a perfectionist, but absolutely solutions oriented. He just figured out ways to solve tricky problems. I had a few different issues in my apartment. Some tedious. And one was a fixture that someone had completely botched. Kent patiently fixed it all. He was also delightful to talk to. He has been gifted this craft by his grandfather - the stories were fascinating. I am moving to the suburbs and literally will be pleading with Jeanette and Kent to help me out there. I highly recommend Skyline Electric!

I called Skyline to take care of a light switch that started smoking and a couple of other minor electrical issues around our home. Service was quick, professional, and very pleasant. They were in the area so they were even able to come by the same day that I called. Pricing was fair. Would definitely call them again if future electrical issues come up. Thank you Skyline!

Skyline Electric is the best!  We have used them for repairs at our business, and they have been prompt and fair every time!  They came out the same day for some of our repairs, which we really needed.  Kent is an excellent electrician, and his customer service skills are awesome too.  He takes pride in his work and explains things and does it correctly the first time.  I highly recommend Skyline Electric!

I can't say enough good things about the folks at Skyline.  They are very professional.   Kent came out to our house three times on short notice (even on his birthday) and did an really excellent job.  Finding good contractors is always really tough, but I highly recommend Skyline Electric.  They are a family run business and really care about doing a good job for their customers.

Kent is wonderful. He is responsive, honest and more than fair in his pricing. I got in touch with him because I learned he was able to install Nest Thermostats in my high rise condo. This was a big deal because the original thermostat was not wired to be easily converted to a Nest. While Kent had successfully previously done such a conversion in my building, my unit proved to have its own unique challenges. Kent took the time and multiple trips needed to ultimately figure it out- but never increased his original quote. I already recommended him to two other residents for the same Nest issue. Furthermore, months later, Kent had improved his own approach. He called me and asked to come by, on his own time and dime, to modify the wiring to maximize functionality between heat and AC. He didn't have to do that, I'd probably have never known the difference. But that's the kind of person and professional he is. Thanks Kent!

Very responsive. I called about an issue early in the morning and Kent arrived shortly thereafter. Great service and great rates!

Kent was amazing to work with.  First he called me to try to resolve the issue over the phone so he didn't have to charge me.  When he came out, he got right to work and did an incredible job.  I've had many contractors come out to my house and try to rip me off or overcharge me.  With Kent, you'll never get that.  He's got integrity and delivers what he promises.  Highly recommend!

Quick response and fast, friendly service for a GFCI circuit breaker diagnosis, inspection and replacement. Thanks Kent!

I had a patio outlet catch on fire in my tenants townhouse. 7 other electricians didn't even get back to me, but I called these guys and heard right back and he was there in a few hours and took care of it. Nice and professional and reasonable prices. I plan to use them for all of my electrical needs now!

Scheduling was easy and Kent knew exactly what to do to fix the problem. They even cleaned up after. Thank you, Skyline electric and Kent!

Kent was great! He updated and upgraded my electrical system and everything is running great. Kent also helped me out on a few miner electrical issues and advice free of charge.

Kent was great! I had a long list of things to be fixed or changed at home and he worked quickly and got it all done. Very nice and honest. Will definitely be passing his card to other friends and neighbors

Every positive thing you'll read on here about Skyline Electric is real. I recently bought a building and Kenton came over to assess what needed to be done. He immediately realized that my electric was being illegally fed into the building, something the inspector merely mentioned in passing. He then advised us that the meters, electrical boxes/breakers/wiring should all be replaced as most were exposed, worn out, or wrapped in cloth wire. Then the monster in the back of the basement was the large box of cloth wires no one wants to see ever. Kenton looked it all over and gave me an estimate that not one other electrician came close to. Kenton then started fixing all the things we initially called him about (dead outlets, GFCI's, etc.). Kenton also came up with a plan on how to put the boxes and meter's in a new place to make access easy but, I would have had to remove a storage unit. After more thought right before the work started, Kenton and I talked it over and in 5 minutes he figured out way I could keep my storage and still make it look nice. He started the next day with Bob and Aaron. Bob and Aaron showed up early and often for 3 days to take out all that was wrong and get the new wiring in place. While they were there the garage electrical wiring was failing and the garage wasn't opening or closing so they also replaced that for a lot less than a garage expert quoted me. Once they finished the hard work, there was one more outlet that had to be installed for a microwave and Kenton quickly realized after installing it that all the wires in the building were leading to different areas of the building (1st floor kitchen going to 2nd floor box, 2nd floor entry leading to 3rd floor box) so whoever had wired the building did a total hack job. At no additional cost to myself, Kenton and Bob rewired the entire thing in one day. Like it was nothing. I couldn't believe it. To say that Kenton and co went above and beyond still wouldn't do them service. I am so happy I'll never have to worry about any electrical issues again with these guys to help me out.

Did not disappoint.  Kent is very busy, so you have to be flexible....but it's worth the wait.  We had two pendent lights improperly installed by the previous owner that we needed to fix.  Kent and his partner were very helpful and knowledgeable.  Thank you!! Use them for your electrical repairs!

Kent was fabulous to work with and amazingly helpful. I had been trying to get another recommended electrician out to my house and he was very slow to respond. Kent/Skyline were fast and immediately knew the issue. He was friendly and no nonsense at the same time and it was obvious that doing good work was important. I'd definitely recommend him.

I called Skyline earlier this morning for an electrical issue - Kent came out within a few hours and was able to troubleshoot the issue after a few minutes (after a previous electrician spent an hour trying to figure out what was going on - without luck - and was going to come back and start opening up walls...)  Kent was very professional and clearly knew what he was doing.  The person scheduling the appointment was also great and let me know exactly when Kent was going to arrive.  I will definitely call them again if I have any issues.

We wanted to upgrade our electrical service from 100 amp to 200 amp we contacted 4 different electrical contractors and the price was over our budget and they said it was almost impossible to relocate the location of the 5 panels to the location we wanted it was a little bit more than we expected but the job turned out perfect and was placed in the location we desired and was competed ahead of schedule! Kent and his team did a great job!

Kenton and his team are the absolute best!  My fiance and I bought a 130 year old 3-flat.  Needless to say, there are electrical issues.  We found Kenton on Yelp and he did an incredible amount of work for a very reasonable price.  He is trustworthy, knowledgeable, fair, and honest.  We didn't even know where to start and he walked us through the major immediate issues that needed to be corrected, including moving our service drop.  When we encountered some unexpected delays, he threw in a few additional improvements that have really made a huge difference.  He is incredibly skilled and there seems to be nothing he can't do.  I highly recommend his team and we certainly will be reaching out to him for our inevitable electric needs in the future.  Thanks Kenton!!!

Kent is fantastic - responsive, thorough, knowledgeable, and will address your needs incredibly well. He takes the time to explain your situation and options and does so with patience and without pressure. Kent helped with electrical needs within three days where as the other providers I got quotes from were going to be nearly three weeks. Realize that's the case because Kent works nearly 24/7, so do keep that in mind when he takes your call when on another job. As a bonus, Kent has a fun personality and amazing stories that he will gladly share while he works. Put simply - this is the best provider I've ever found on Yelp and will use him for my electrical needs for as long as I live in Chicago.

Excellent service. While replacing my HVAC system the tech realized my circuit breaker box had a small fire.  Some of the breakers were melted and I was facing a potentially hazardous situation. It was after 5:30 on a Monday night. I called many electricians, none would come out after hours. When I reached out to Kent he said he could come by later that evening and asked for my address. I sent him the address and a photo of the burned box. He immediately responded.  Recognizing the seriousness of the problem he said he would repair the box that evening. Kent could have easily charged me a lot of money for a late night, emergency call.  He did not. His fees were reasonable and the work was outstanding. Highly recommend this company. You will be satisfied.

Awesome service. Kent is a great guy and very knowledgeable about all things electric. He's done quite a bit of electrical work for me including rewiring my entire 70 year old house. HIGHLY recommended.

Skyline was so accommodating to our schedules and quickly fixed an issue we were sure was going to be a much bigger deal. He explained everything he was doing and guaranteed the fix for 2 years! We will definitely call Skyline the next time we need electrical work!

Kent is awesome!! He works fast and makes sure that the job is done right. He cares about quality and provides great customer service. Would highly recommend Skyline Electric for any electrical needs!

Super impressed with Kent's work and knowledge. We would recommend Skyline electric to anyone in Chicago looking for a honest and hardworking electrician. We told him what we were looking to do when he arrived and he was a straight shooter of the work that needed to be completed to get it done. He installed new track lighting in our kitchen, installed a variety of new electrical switches so they would work with our LED lights and installed a brand new light in our entryway where there was no existing light before. We were so impressed with his work in our condo unit that we scheduled another appointment before he left for some electrical work in our condo building. Also, Janette does all of the scheduling and she is wonderful to work with as well. You don't often find service work where the company is super responsive and the quality of work is second to none but Skyline Electric is one of them!

Skyline Electric has been to my new home three times now to install various types of light fixtures in the kitchen and dining room and entryway and to install a ceiling fan in my living room, and I could not be more impressed with the quality of their work, their dedication, and their professionalism. Their customer service is truly outstanding - from the wonderful Jeanette who coordinates the appointments and keeps everyone on schedule to the amazing electricians the send to perform the work. Today, Kent came to my home specially to check on a wobble in the ceiling fan and when he discovered that there was structural problem in the ceiling that was contributing to the issue he worked doggedly and would not give up until he was 100% satisfied that it would be safe. He went way above and beyond the call of duty! If you want people who really care about doing a job right and charging a more than fair price for it, you should go with Skyline Electric. They are first rate.

Kent is the best to work with. He arrived dot on time, very professional to work with, explained a few things on why we are experiencing the issue and fixed it. His prices are far more reasonable than other shops I called. I highly recommend Skyline Electric.

NOTHING BETTER!  And I should know.  As a builder, general contractor and real estate developer for over 25 years I've never seen anything better, faster, cleaner and round-about even a difficult post in the wall.  In under an hour I got a whole new outlet with not a scratch on our fancy drywall.  What was bid way more by others, Skyline Electric did for just the price of a service call.  In all my many years of planning, bidding, hiring, supervising and coordinating electrical contractors for award winning multi-million dollar homes, apartments, commercial, etc., I've never seen anything like how well Skyline worked!  The back-office kept in touch by text and phone.  Kent, my technician too!  The entire experience was perfect.  The outlet we needed to be in an exact spot and it is.  I thought anyone would have to make a big hole in the drywall, just to see and work around a column.  Kent did it by the touch and feel that only comes with years of insight and seeing through the wall.   He insisted that he clean up perfectly and did.   I'd say more glowing remarks but time prevents.  USE SKYLINE ELECTRIC in all caps is the best I can say!

We have been remodeling a townhouse bought in foreclosure over the past two years, and have had both good and bad experiences with some of the contractors we've worked with.   Working with Kent and Jeanette at Skyline Electric has been one of the best experiences we've had.  Kent is a master at what he does, is a perfectionist like myself and has a great deal of experience working in homes on the near north side.  He just seems to have a great eye for how things should look.  Plus he's a great guy.  Now that I am a client of theirs, I cannot imagine working with any other electrician.  During a particularly busy time, they were concerned they wouldn't be able to accommodate a request for what could have been a major service call in a timely fashion.  They made me aware of another electrician that was a friend of theirs they thought could handle the situation. I told them I would wait as long as necessary for Kent (which was only a week or so).  And I am very glad I did.  I only wish I had found them sooner and had been working with them from the start of our renovations.

The outlet my gas range is connected to stopped working right before lunch. I called skyline electrician and Kenton arrived 30 mins later. He took time to find the root cause of the problem but did not waste anytime to fool around. He explained the issue clearly and showed me the broken wire. Super knowledgeable and nice to work with. Will definitely use him again in the future.

It shouldn't be too much to expect to get the service that you think you're getting, but these days it can be a gamble. Not with Skyline Electric! Kent was really easy to get a hold of via text/phone and very flexible. We had a pendant light that we needed hung over our dining table. Everyone else we called didn't have any appointments until a week later, or were charging significantly more. Kent booked a time with us that was convenient with our work schedules, which we appreciated (Friday afternoon). The morning of our appointment, he actually had some troubles with his truck and called to cancel due to the delay in all his appointments. When he heard that we really needed that light installed (we had family coming over to stay with us), and it was a holiday weekend so no one else was available (of course!), he promised he would make it there. As promised, Kent made it over to our place that evening as promised. He was organized, and knew exactly what he was doing. We had the pendant lamp hanging in a previous residence, and must have left part of the bracket there when we moved. Instead of saying he couldn't hang it without that, or charging us for time to go out and get replacement parts, Kent figured out an alternative way to securely hang the pendant lamp. He was precise and paid attention to all the details. He even fixed up the chain that the person who hung the light before had tangled and incorrectly hung. On top of providing excellent service, Kent was also fun to chat with. It's hard to find great attitude and great work these days. At the end of it all, you want to entrust your home and your electrical needs to a professional, and Kent met that need perfectly!

Needed electrical work in my house and Skyline returned my call and came in the same day. I live in Hyde Park, and some other companies did not want to go that far south. Fixed my mysterious electrical problem right away and then installed a light fixture. As another review says, Timely work, good job, fair price.

This is your cable guy.  If you need any cabling or electrical work done for your home entertainment system (or any electrical work for that matter) you can't beat this place for price or quality.  Kent fished new cable and electrical connections to our floating shelf unit for $125 and the work was impeccable.
