Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Stop looking. Hire Stefan.
You won't be disappointed.
I put out my project for several quotes through Yelp, and I got a mixed bag of responses. Stefan was the ONLY contractor who didn't jerk me around.
When he came out to discuss the job, he had a plan, a schedule and I was very comfortable with his approach. Hired him on the spot... cancelled other contractor visits.
The work he did was top notch. He used proper materials, and even stayed late to get the job done. No shortcuts.
Cleaned up after himself even though it was a long day.
Can't say enough good things. Just call this guy.
Look at his other reviews and pics if you don't believe me.

My partner had found good reviews for this service after we had drilled into a wall and disconnected a wire. We were in need of immediate assistance. Thankfully Sims and Sons had good availability and came the following Tuesday to fix our electrical problem.

The day of was really snowy so there were some delays but they were really communicative. Our electrician Enis was extremely courteous and professional. He evaluated the situation quickly and was even able to answer some of our questions about possible future work we wanted. He also was able to diagnose a problem with our circuit breaker on the spot and was able to fix it in the same visit which saved us the hassle of having to ask for another service call.

Enis was very thorough with his explanations of what he was doing and answered all the questions my partner had. Would recommend this business to anyone looking for a good electrician!

Rodrigo was extremely knowledgeable, on time, nice, pointed out issues, fixed problem with old electrical line and removing it which is why I called, all within an hour.  Having him quote me on other projects immediately.  Good prices, use them.

He texted me right away and we set up an appointment, a week out. On the day of the appointment he didn't respond to my text asking him to confirm that he would be here and that he would be wearing a mask. He didn't text or call to confirm or cancel, and he didn't show up. Very disappointed.

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!

I reached out via Yelp on a Friday, and Chris came out on Saturday to take a look and provide an estimate (work across two units in our multi-family building). His prices were reasonable and we were able to get scheduled within a few days. He and his team did high quality work very efficiently. We'll definitely call him next time we need electrical help!

Master bedroom lights/outlets weren't working so Greenline came out within a hour on a Friday night to help us out! Fixed the problem quickly for a great price. Had so many Electrition's flake/keep rescheduling but Greenline was honest and kept their word. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I have used Ryan for electrical projects at my home multiple times. The first time was for installing a doorbell in a troublesome spot and the second time was for adding additional outlets to key locations in my house. He is knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with. He very much has a 'teach a man to fish' mentality, which I have appreciated.

He has consistently gotten the job done. I'll be using his services again in the future for sure!

This company has a 5 star rating for a reason. I needed to add 10 recessed can lights to my ceiling and asked Highlights to give me a proposal. After spending just 10 minutes with the owner, Boz I had a comfort level that this guy was genuine and cared deeply about the quality of his work and my satisfaction. His price came in line with other the other bids I received and I thought overall was very fair. After selecting Highlights to do the work my impression was confirmed by the team he sent. They were super professional and just all around nice people. They worked efficiently and ended up saving me much money by completing the project without me having to do any drywall patching or painting- absolutely incredible! They even totally cleaned up afterward (including wiping down the floor). Something that used to be a standard but hard to find these days. I CAN'T RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY ENOUGH. I will certainly be calling them again for my next electrical project.

Rogelio did a great job moving an outlet inside our kitchen island.

I wanted to give a big thanks to Jose and Rodney for the fantastic job they did in our home! We had an entire room needing new recessed lighting where there was none before. They got the job done in a timely fashion and the result is beautiful. We also had sconces put in a wall which never had fixtures there before. Several other electricians quoted a similar price as Tweaks and Finishes, but would not do the patch and paint work for the damages done in the process; they said I would have to hire someone else to patch the holes in the wall! Jose and Rodney did it all, from installation, to patching and painting, from start to finish. No one else that I spoke to offered this complete service! These guys are a great team and are great at what they do.

I highly recommend Tweaks and Finishes for any job, big or small, and will be happy to work with them in the future!

Jake and Lenox were a great team- they were efficient and were able to locate the source of our electrical problem. They replaced 2 GFI's and have literally brought light back into our lives! We'll definitely be using them again.

Nevill responded to my voicemail very quick and texted back (his only bad reviews on here are because of his preference for texting but I prefer texting so this was ideal for me, and honestly people need to realize this is a form of communication now).  He chatted back and forth with me to help figure out what we needed done and quoted me the cost (he offered to let me help if I was handy to save money, instead of bringing a second worker to do the job, I took him up on this).  We had had issues getting a different electrician out a few days prior, but Neville was able to come at the last minute today when we only texted last night.  It was great!

When he got here he was professional and very friendly.  We chatted while he worked and he showed me everything he was doing while I helped with some of the basic work (I like learning this sort of stuff).  He quickly isolated what we needed to get done and had the work done in an hour (installing new outlets for a washer/dryer including the breaker and running the wires).  

I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get work done.  He is friendly, professional, and has good prices (cheaper than the other guy that never showed up).  If I ever need electrical work done he will be the first one I call.

We hired Kinetic Energy in January, 2016 to install a new light fixture in the ceiling of the entry foyer of our house, and to deal with the old knob and tube wiring that was connected to the old light fixture. That kind of wiring was commonly installed in old houses like ours (about 110 year old). It is insulated with rubberized cloth. As a result, the crew had to replace it not only where it connected to the ceiing light fixture, but also to other outlets that connected to the same breaker (including the ceiling light over the front porch).

Kinetic's owner, Ted, is friendly, candid and experienced with working in old homes.  He got the permit and arranged for the two later inspections (rough and final). The Oak Park electrical inspector promptly approved the work when it was done,

    His friendly crew members generally arrived on time, and worked steadily. Because they had to cut holes in the foyer ceiling made of drywall, the work generated dust. As a result, the crew each day covered the  floor with a tarp and put up plastic sheeting over the entry to the living room from the foyer. They cleaned up well at the end of each workday, which we greatly appreciated. The crew also liked Ted. He had recently bought for them sturdy red jackets which had battery operated warmers - especially nice for any outdoor work they did in the winter.

I recently hired this electrician to install a Ring doorbell in my home and I couldn't be happier with his work! He was very professional, promptly arrived on time, and was able to install the device quickly without any problems. He even took the time to explain how the doorbell works and answer any questions I had. The installation itself was seamless and the doorbell works perfectly. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and dedication to providing top-notch service. I would highly recommend this electrician to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled professional. Top-notch service and a true 5-star experience! Thank you, Tom!

Outstanding very communicative on time reliable all above in every category.  Always answers always explains what is needled and why

Alex responded to my posting quickly, was clear on costs, and came out at 8am the following day as promised. I gave wrong information on parts and he was ready with solutions to salvage the job and gave great advice. Would definitely hire again.

The fixers were very nice and did a great job.  I think pricing is a bit high but then again you can schedule something on a moments notice and that is worth the cost.  They guaranteed their work and we're very easy to work with on billing.  That is another thing you won't always get if you hire an individual a cheaper price.  So their are a lot of pros that come along with the increased pricing.  I would recommend highly, unless your on a tight budget.  I would definitely hire again.
