Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Don't think twice, just hire AC/DC. Stefan provided the lowest quote and was able to come out the very next day. He was extremely prompt and communicative. We had an issue with the ladder being too short, but he found a ladder that would work, was back the very next day and got the job done. I could not be more pleased with his work, and will definitely call him again next time.

After two questionable contractors into my basement renovation, I was frustrated, having received an inflated quote from another vendor to fix the mess that was left incomplete.  I exchanged messages with Darrell who sensed my urgency and immediately dispatched a team, who not only gave me an estimate but handled all of my needs on the spot.  Christian, Cody, and Graham to the rescue.  They were knowledgeable, polite, efficient, and cleaned up after themselves!  A few hours later, I'm a happy customer and would use them again for future needs in heartbeat (because it's not a question of if, it's WHEN I need them again!).  Please call without hesitation!

I used T & D Electrical to retrofit some recessed lighting in my kitchen and adjoining hallway and I am very pleased with the results. Everyone representing the company who I came into contact with was courteous, knowledgable, and helpful. I won't hesitate to call them again for my next project.

Had a bad outlet in the garage.  Called Ted Monday morning and he came by and replaced the bad GFCI outlet.  Ted was knowledgeable and friendly, would definitely use Ted again!

Very well satisfied with Joe at Wirenuts.
On time, very good work, works in a effective manner.  And is fair in his pricing.

For all you single women, first time homeowners, who are getting ripped off out there, search no more. Chris is an honest professional. He's done mutliple jobs at my place now and trust me, I've searched the quotes. His work is clean, up to code, and even educates me on the do's and don'ts. For me, this goes a long way. His communication is exceptional, his thoroughness is easily visible, and he keeps it real. when you find a good contractor you share him, because there are a lot of contractors out there that are so demanding and the job is total trash ass. That's the worst.

Esteban came out on a weekend, and was quick, fair and thorough.
Edward replied quickly and was completely honest with what needed to be done then, and what would need further review.

I reached out to Ryan via yelp yesterday 6.16.2021 as I needed to add lighting to my basement area. I had previously request quotes from other companies but no one was able to come out for at least a month. Ryan was over to our home within a couple hours and ready to get to work right away. He provided great advice on a few other future project we have and did a great job adding a couple of additional lights to our basement/utility area.

I heard about Highlights when I called another local business to ask for same-day service. They couldn't help me but happily referred me to Highlights and said they were excellent. I called and a few hours later, Raul came to help me fix the wiring behind my TV wall. He was friendly and fast. Can't wait to hire Highlights again!

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

Jose and Rodney were amazing! I had them paint all the common areas in my new condo and it looks fantastic! They were both very nice and incredibly professional, getting to work right away. They'd given me an initial estimate that was a very fair price and that was exactly what I paid on the day. Really zero complaints and I will definitely be contacting them if I need anything in the future.

Jake came by to install our ventilation fan and a new bathroom vanity. He was super friendly, quick, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

Neville and Johnny are the absolute best. I wrote a positive review two years ago...haven't needed any other electric work since, but immediately knew I'd want to work with Blacklite again when a problem arose. I had tried to DIY an electrical project and quickly realized I needed a pro - sent a request in late on a Thursday night, emailed and texted with Neville to confirm on Friday morning, and Johnny was here by Friday afternoon. I love that Neville schedules via text, as I was able to make this all happen during a workday morning.

Johnny quickly installed a fixture, and when I mentioned I wouldn't mind a new outlet on another wall, he made that happen too! I have an old home with old wiring and many quirks, so everything is always extra difficult...but he persevered and got everything taken care of. Throughout the process, just like last time, he was also incredibly kind, warm, and patient with my silly questions. He's a truly fantastic guy. (And he even noticed I had a broken floorboard and gave me advice on a fix...how awesome is that???)

I'd also like to note that he was extremely considerate with COVID precautions - wore a mask the entire time (no small feat in my apartment with no AC!), and cleaned up thoroughly. I was nervous to have someone come into my home given the current situation but he was great and I felt very safe.

Their rates could not be more fair. Worth every penny 10x over for the level of service you get. It sounds dramatic, but working with Blacklite boosts my faith in humanity. You can't beat that!

I needed a ceiling fan and light fixture replaced. The fan I was installing was unique and unusually heavy. Julio was the technician that came to my home. He had great attention to detail. Any adjustment he needed to make he informed me of prior to receive authorization. He was very respectful of my home, wore shoe covers, and protected the furniture. He expertly installed both fixtures and cleaned up all work areas before he left. I highly recommend and would use this company again.

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.

Frank is very professional.  Showed up when he said he would, explained what he was doing, and even provided a lower price than what he first quoted.  I will definitely call him again for any electrical job.  Highly recommend!

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.

This is my 3rd time giving Fixer a try. I haven't been overly impressed before- but generally they are responsive and fast, so I decided to give them a try again. I own a salon in Lincoln Park, and I needed some lightbulbs and track light heads replaced. The ceilings are quite high, otherwise I would DIY- but I don't have a ladder that tall. So I requested Fixer to come.
After they arrived (they sent 2 people) I was given a quote of 2.5-4 hours. Well, lucky me- they actually finished in 1.5 hours! (Approximately 40 minutes of that was shopping at the Home Depot 2 blocks away). Imagine my shock when I received the bill, and was billed for 3.5 hours of labor PLUS an additional 40 minutes of shopping!
The support I received over email is laughable, and as other people mentioned- when you call you get no answer. I was told that there was an extra charge because there were 2 fixers (ok, fine- but I wasn't informed of this prior to the appointment). Also- I simple do not understand why I'm being charged for EXTRA TIME when the appointment just didn't take that long. I have text messages to back this up, and shared it with the person via email. Then their reply was We're going to give you a COURTESY refund of half an hour. Excuse me, but inaccurately charging me for more time than the appointment took and only giving me a quarter of the payment back isn't a courtesy- it's fraud.

Update: Fixer did reach out to me and try to remedy the situation, and I was refunded for an additional hour of time. Please be aware that they are charging their hourly rate AS WELL AS an additional shopping hourly rate. So you're basically getting double charged to have them go to Home Depot. Try to have the items you need to complete the task to avoid this charge. And also- if they send 2 Fixers- refuse! There is no reason to pay DOUBLE the hourly rate (yes, $278/hour!) for a very simple.
