Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

We were looking to install RING security cameras in the front and back of our property.  Stefan came out the day after I reached out to him to assess the situation. He worked with us and our busy schedule and spent the entire day making sure the job was done correctly and up to our standards.  Stefan was extremely professional and we are more than pleased with our new lights and the excellent service we got on this project.  I will be reaching out to Stefan with any electrical needs in the future.  Thank you, Stefan!

Loved that I could reach them first thing in the am.  Told them my problem and they went right out there and guess what?  There wasn't a problem at all.  They reassured me and just charged a fair service fee.  I'm thrilled that no work was needed.  I was out of town and they could have taken me to the cleaners.  But they didn't.  I own a townhouse in Chicago that I rent out and it was Sims to the rescue.  From now on, if I need any plumbing, electric, drywall, anything....they are my go to guys.  PERIOD.  I'm a divorced, single woman who knows NOTHING and they make me feel safe and taken care of.

Had them put in special outlet for a treadmill and a chandelier in my bedroom. Guys did an awesome job and I love my chandelier!  Were also right on time!  Highly recommend!!!

Ted and his son were great!  Ted was very responsive in getting me a quote and setting up an appointment time.  He confirmed with me the day of, and showed up on time.  He installed light fixtures and changed a switch for me.  Pointed something out that would have been a huge mistake on my part as to the type of lighting fixture that I had purchased.  Very friendly guys, I will not hesitate in contacting them again in the future for any electrical work.

Joe is the best. Thoughtful. Detail oriented. Fair pricing. He came to our home (built in 1969) and added 38 recessed / can lights all over the house. I almost don't want to review him so he doesn't get booked up, but he deserves all the work that comes his way!

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.

All around great first time experience. I called on a cold snowy night and the owner had someone (Leeroy) out to me within a couple of hours. Leeroy was great, and fixed my issue with my outdoor GFCI outlet almost instantly. So thankful to have a great electrician in my phonebook now!

Ryan responded right away and was at our house in about an hour.  He quickly diagnosed the problem and even made a follow up phone call to provide additional advice on how to handle the ComEd when they arrived and started their work.  Professional, personable, and a pleasure to work with.  Also reasonable.  Definitely recommend him.

I can't even begin to tell you how thrilled I am with the service I received from Highlights Chicago.  First of all, I was referred to Highlights Chicago by Jeanette at Skyline Electric and am so thankful for her recommendation (my address was outside of their service area).  Here's my story.  I was having issues with my Kenmore washer which was part of a stackable laundry unit.  I called Sears repair on 4/28/20.  I made an appointment for the next day.  On 4/29/20 the technician that arrived determined that the unit needed a new Laundry Center Dryer Electronic Control Board and a Laundry Center Water Valve Assembly.  He ordered the parts to be shipped to my address and scheduled another appointment for 5/18 telling me if I received the parts before then I could make an appointment for an earlier time.  The parts had not arrived by 5/18 and since I couldn't get a satisfactory explanation from Sears about when I could expect to receive them, I cancelled my appointment.  I then called Chicago Appliance Company.  I was able to get an appointment for the next day.  The repairman told me that it could be one of three different issues causing the problem.  He came back on three separate occasions each time switching out different parts.  Nothing worked.  I ended up purchasing a new GE stackable laundry unit from Cole's.  BTW - The Kenmore unit was only 5 years old.  The new unit was installed on 5/28.  On 5/29 I tried to do a load of laundry and the washer wasn't performing correctly.  I called Cole's and they sent over the guy who installed the unit.  He told me that the problem was probably with the electrical outlet.  I got a recommendation from Cole's for an electrician who came out the next day and switched out the outlet.  That seemed to fix the problem until 7/11 when my washer wouldn't drain, rinse, or spin.  I made an appointment with GE Appliance Repair but the earliest that they could come was 7/21.  I got to thinking about the problem and wondered if it could be something else with the electrical system.  I called Highlights Chicago this morning at 7:00 a.m.  I talked to Boz.  I explained the problem and was able to make an appointment for today between 8:30-9:00.  Jimmy and Delvin arrived at 8:30.  I explained the situation and it didn't take long for them to locate the problem.  It was a worn circuit breaker in the electrical panel.  Needless to say, I was so relieved that someone finally figured out what was wrong.  Jimmy explained everything to me in detail.  He and Delvin are the best servicemen I've ever encountered.  I highly recommend Highlights Chicago and Jimmy and Delvin.  Thanks guys!   You're the best!

Rogelio did a good job on our building. Repaired some outlets, in the apartment, garage, and outside of the building. He shared photos of his progress. We talk over the phone to clarify details and got a quote on the spot for additional work that was necessary and was finished the same day after getting the parts needed.
He is also bilingual, what helps communicating easier for a larger population group.
All good overall.

After attempting to install a new light fixture myself I ran into an electrical road block.  Jose of Tweaks & Finishes responded promptly to my request for an estimate, and scheduled the service call for the same day!  Jose, accompanied by Rodney arrived on time, and treated me and my home with such care and respect.  Jose was extremely knowledgeable, and quickly diagnosed my electrical problem-explaining the issue(s) found along the way.  A quick replacement of a burnt out dimmer switch restored my lighting, and mended the mess I created. Jose and Rodney also cleaned up the wires behind my many wall switches which they found to be a safety hazard, and installed my new ceiling light-all at a reasonable price within my budget.  Both gentlemen were kind, professional, and mindful-cleaning up after any small mess that was made.  I am thankful to have found Tweaks & Finishes, I am looking forward to using them again in the future for a painting project. Many thanks to Jose and Rodney!

Recently used Urban Power to have third panel installed at my 2 flat in Logan Square and the needed infrastructure installed to house a new third meter.  I found Jake to be easy to work with. I feel all work was completed satisfactorily and in a timely manner.  I also felt the pricing was fair compared to other quotes I received.  I felt some of the other quotes I received, the companies were trying to over sell me.  Jake quoted the proper materials need to get the job done.  I would gladly use Jake again in the future and recommend him.

No return call.  I think in today's day and age, either answer your phone or give customers the courtesy of a call back either way.

I called Ted just a couple of days before Thanksgiving with an emergency electrical situation in our 110 year old home. He was clearly booked up, but understood our situation was dire and was willing to find a way to fit us in to a very busy schedule. He sent Tara out with an hour and she was able to solve the problem and get our service restored. Ted and his crew are extremely professional and do fantastic work. I recommend Kinetic with my highest regards.

A++ in all aspects. I had great pleasure to hire Tom's company for our house project. The project included multiple rooms. Complete Bath and kitchen electrical renovation. Two bathrooms received outlets, switches, can lights and fans. The kitchen received  new can lights and outlets. Living room got new can lights. We also added wired smoke detectors throughout the house. Tom was a total professional when he came in for the estimate. Everything was explained so that there were no surprises any time during the project and he made sure that we understood the work that was going to take place. Prices were very competitive, and work was done in the time promised. Tom made sure that everything was done right, to code and left everything clean and spotless. I would definitely hire again. Highly recommended.

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.

Very responsive and responsible. Alex tried to help us trouble shoot over the phone to save us money. When that didn't work he showed up promptly, diagnosed the issue, and fixed the bad breaker.

Best pricing around and great young guy working hard for his business. Highly recommended.

Great Handyman experience today with Joe.    As with any service, it's always going to come down to the person or crew that shows up to do the job.  In this case-  Excellent!
