Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Stefan and the work he does. 100% WOULD RECOMMEND! We recently moved into a new home in the Lakeview area and needed quite a bit of electrical work done - moving a chandelier (in our main living/dining area) and several other fixtures (both inside and outside) as well as pulling a new 220V line to our roof deck. Given the chandelier was located in such a central area, I was nervous to work with someone whose craftmanship I had not seen before - but it was pristine! You would never know the ceiling was cut into and the fixture moved several feet because Stefan is so talented. Additionally, Stefan made a late-night house call for us to fix an issue we had with an appliance on our roof and stayed until the issue was completed, even in the dark and freezing cold, just to make sure the issue was truly fixed and we weren't left in a bind. He's a great guy to work with, is very prompt/easy to schedule, and I'd trust him with any job! We've referred him to several of our neighbors and they all have had excellent experiences as well.

Darrell and his team did a fantastic job. They were able to come the very same day I contacted them, finished both projects timely, and kept everything very CLEAN. They even went out to buy a special part my toilet needed at a specialty plumbing store to make sure it was installed correctly and would last. I'll definitely be going to them again for any electric and plumbing needs.

These guys were great.  I called them at 9am to get some lights installed in my kitchen and they were able to come over by noon and get it all done quickly and professionally.  Would highly recommend them.

Great service! The price was reasonable and he did a great job. We felt very comfortable with him and felt he is trustworthy. We will definitely hire him in the future.

I contacted them with some pictures for a quote on some minor work. I got a prompt reply telling me that no significant work was needed! Thus while I did not end up hiring them, I am extremely satisfied with their service. I definitely plan on getting quotes from them in the future!

Chris is very responsive, honest and good at what he does. He is the person to call for quick and easy fixes - he says he specializes in service calls (installing light fixtures, troubleshooting things around your house). Definitely give him a call, he'll take care of your project quickly and professionally.

I had a great experience! Needed some commercial work in my storefront and they were able to squeeze me into the middle of their very busy day, the guy was polite and on time and reliable! Wound definitely call again!!

We uncovered something weird when working on our 1920s home, and Ryan was able to come out right away to check it out and make sure the outlet was working properly. We look forward to working with Ryan again in the future!

I run a service department taking care of 250+ retail pet stores across the country and have been working with Highlights for approximately 2 years. Their service and communication is incredible. Their technicians are extremely professional and are always on time. Kemal is amazing to work with and is always on top of everything whether its a standard service or emergency. I cannot say enough about them. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!

Great job all the way around!!! Excellent work, fantastic attention to detail. Am definitely going to hire again.

Rodney and Jose are a great team. The removed a light fixture from a closet header, completed the demo of closet header and moved a slight switch. And then patched the drywall and prepped for paint. So great this duo can complete both the electrical and the drywall repair. Wrapped in one day.

We have used Jake over the years for all of our electrical needs. He is absolutely amazing and always works incredibly hard and fast. If you are looking for surround sound, new canned lighting, rewiring or all of the above, he is 100% the man for the job!

These guys know what they're doing, and they do it right.

I was in the incredibly stressful process of moving apartments and had scheduled an appointment with another electrician (Bright Sparks; avoid at all costs) to change out a light fixture from my old place and reinstall it in my new one, but when the time came for my scheduled appointment, the other guys were a total no-show, leaving me scrambling to find another electrician while already coordinating movers, cleaners, etc. I called Blacklite and left a voicemail, to which Neville promptly responded with his signature text message explaining the timing and charges. I know some reviews have complained about this method, but as a fully-functioning millennial I use texting as frequently and effectively as any other form of modern communication, so I find his practice to be pleasantly concise. Within 90 minutes, Neville had sent out his adept (and remarkably friendly) assistant Johnny, who handled the light fixture removal and reinstallation at both locations quickly and efficiently.

It turns out I had actually employed Neville a few years ago for another installation and had forgotten it was the same company, but they gave me the first-time customer discount again anyway. They thoroughly and clearly explained the charges, and even threw in a free light switch to replace one which had been sticking. Not only did these guys save the day and finish the job just in the nick of time before my big move, but they also did it with gusto. I highly recommend Blacklite for any electrical needs you might have, especially after dealing with other less professional servicemen.

Shout out to Douglas who was amazing!! He was very kind and polite. He installed the new light fixture and offered to take the old one as well as recycle the box of the new one. The finished job looks amazing!

I had 3 people come out for discussions on our project and Tom came up with great recommendations for outdoor installation of lights and fixed some landscaping spotlights. He was reliable, helped pick out products and did a great job.  I'd definitely recommend him and will use him for future projects.

Ted changed out fixtures throughout our house, including a difficult chandelier in our dining room. He also fixed a hot outlet and looked at our garage electrical. He was on time, fairly priced, and did great work. We'll be using him again.

Pros: responsive, punctual, honest, respectful of my home, fair pricing
Cons: none found
Alex did a great job replacing a broken switch. He responded quickly to my initial request and was fast in communicating throughout the scheduling process. We are very happy with the quality of work.
We'll likely have to have most of our old wiring replaced and are looking forward to have Alex and his team back. Seems to be a newer company, and I'm glad we took a chance on them.

My go-to.  We just finished a major renovation of our house, but we had lots of little things that needs attention.  I tired Fixer for a simple paint job and leaky sink, and after their professionalism, communication, and work I was impressed.  They are also a Public Benefit Corp with apprenticeship and training for their employees.  Mission driven too?!  Love it.

The process of scheduling through their website is also smooth and another reason why they are my go to.  Instead of awkwardly trying to explain over the phone to someone, you get a text confirming the time slot and request for pictures.  Based on the pics, you get an estimate of hours.  Work gets done, auto-pay like Lyft, drop a tip if you'd like, and done.  

Final bonus - they are honest about what they CAN'T do.  We had a leak under our tub.  The guy inspected it, found the issue, said it's beyond their type of handyman work, and within 10min they texted me referrals to plumbing companies with the right hardware and expertise.
