Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

We had an excellent experience with Fixer; the website was very easy to use, text updates were clear, and the repair person showed up on time and worked quickly and effectively. He even finished ahead of time and left the workspace tidy.

Mike and his crew ALWAYS do an outstanding job.  I would recommend them anytime.

I was recommended to Duplex for my home electrical needs by a long-time friend who is an industrial electrician as the company my friend uses for his home needs. Greg and Steve at Duplex where terrific and fixed my complicated electrical issues in my old home.  I was impressed with their practical approach, as they explained what was needed for life safety and what was an optional fix if I wanted to save money.  They truly understand their craft and put customers first.  They are also extremely reliable with scheduling, which can be rare in the repair and maintenance industry. I highly recommend Duplex.

We were very happy with Wright Way's service. Samuel and Daniel made sure to get a walkthrough of our house and check on all the vents before starting the job. They were efficient and thorough. We are confident our house is MUCH cleaner as a result!

Our kitchen cabinet (under-mount) lighting stopped working and it was not a simple as to change the bulbs - a wiring issue - so I looked up for a reliable electrician in my area (thank you, Yelp reviewers!) When I called Donatello Electric, Don answered the phone immediately and he was super polite and accommodating. He came and gave us a couple of options and quotes right away. We decided to put this tape-like lighting to go all the way around the entire cabinet. It wasn't inexpensive for a small kitchen but Don said it'd last for a long time, so we pulled the trigger.  We added a dimmer for extra charge, and even though we don't use it, I'm glad we went with it for an added value. If we decide to sell our place down the road, I think it'll look nice during the open house in the evening (I hear that's a thing now). Mike, the electrician, who did all the work, was super nice and got the job done very efficiently to our satisfaction. He also replaced our bathroom switches. We were very happy with their service and highly recommend them!

Jack and his crew have done a number of jobs at my house (added a mini-split line and took care of some home inspection issues).  Pricing is very competitive and the work has been excellent.  Highly recommend.

Robert came out to my restaurant and helped us immediately. Great service and a really nice guy these guys are amazing

Hey hipsters, this is who you want.

Pros:
Friendly, easy going, courteous,

Cons:
Cash only

Needed about five overhead lights replaced, some with bad wiring and others with very old fixtures. Jeff came out to our home, resolved some of my 'creative workarounds', offered suggestions, spotted some bad wiring, addressed said problem, and gave me an estimate for other wish list work.

Overall, Jeff was very easy to work with and I'd have no problem recommending him for this type of work.

Prompt response and very friendly, detailed and educational to boot! Haven't had to actually hire them yet but looking forward to future projects once this crazy pandemic year is behind us.

David was very professional and easy to work with!  We had him install 9 lights and 3 dimmer switches in our home and you could tell from the start that he is very detailed with his work. He treated our project as if it was a project in his own home and made sure to ask my opinion of everything before he finished. Very quick and great pricing!  Would highly recommend him for any project big or small. We will definitely be calling him for any future projects. Thanks David!

I highly recommend Goldstream.

Matt installed 12 ultra-thin LED wafer lights with dimmers in my basement for us and I couldn't be happier.

Communication was excellent.  After I contacted him and told him what I was looking for, we quickly worked out a plan using some pictures of my basement as well as a diagram of my proposed light layout.  He had some good recommendations on how many switches to use due to my layout (2) as well as going with wafer LEDs due to some ceiling joists and duct work that may have gotten in the way.

He showed up right on time, had all the tools, equipment, and parts that were needed, and was done about 7 hours later.

My basement room is now much brighter, and the dimmers have already come in handy.

I would use him again for any future electrical work.

Highly recommend! Mike came by within an hour of me connecting with him to install an outlet for my EV. He explained the process and walked me through it step by step just so I'm aware. I was so impressed, I asked him to work on more electrical stuff around our condo and he's coming back to do those jobs.

Had a great experience with Randal Electric. I'm selling my condos in Chicago and some very minor electrical work popped up on the home inspection report. I called a few different electricians on Yelp in the area and a lot hung up on me because my request was too small for them to set an appointment. I communicated with Randy what I needed to be done and he was confident that it would be a quick and easy fix, plus he'd be able to put me down for an appointment the next morning. Eddie was my electrician who was right on time this morning. He was polite and professional and after he was finished with the breaker he even asked if he could review the home inspection report to make sure everything needing an electricians attention was covered. I appreciate honest businesses in home services. While searching for electricians I ran across CR Electric and they tried to upsell me on an entire new panel a 4-6 hour job that would have been unnecessary and over the top. Eddie was able to make the breaker safe and eliminate the double tap breaker installed by a 10+ year old alarm system company that I never used in 7 years of owning the property. I'm glad I called Randal Electric and if I need electricians for the next 4 condos about to go on the market I know who I'll be calling!

Great service from Edwin and his crew!  

We had a potentially large electric problem with some lines from our house to our garage.  They were old, frayed and hanging low.  It was easy to set up getting a quote from Edwin though the Yelp site.  He responded very quickly and arrived on time at the appointed time.  He diagnosed the problem and provided a quote via email.  I accepted his proposal and he let me know when he was available to come and do the work.

He arrived on time, on the scheduled day.  It was a big job which included taking down the old wiring and, digging a trench and sending all new wiring out to the detached garage.  Since the home and garage are both over 100 years old, diagnosing our wiring is like a million piece jigsaw puzzle. Edwin did a great job and everything works great!  He even did a great job to not disturb the landscaping.  You can't even tell that there was a trench dug.

Highly recommend!

Where shall one begin? This was the question that plagued myself when searching for an electrician and now has beset once more. In the latter case it is about how to describe the immense work ethic, professionalism and unfathomable attention to detail that these electricians possess. As a matter of course one should assume to be nervous while having others check and repair a utility that has the potential for catastrophic consequences if done incorrectly, but in this case, that anxiety was relieved as soon as I witnessed the replacing of a single electrical receptacle (outlet), deservedly so since about 20 more needed replacement and/or repair. The attention to detail and most importantly, safety that was undertaken when doing the work, was carried out so eloquently, so refined, so meticulous, yet at such an impressive speed was truly a conglomerate of qualities that no other contractor or tradesmen could possibly hold, at least not in my experiences (especially having worked in trades). This was the real deal and so very comforting due to the age and condition of the amateur endeavored wiring practices in my home from previous residents that could only be described as a patchwork of old and barely useable to ancient and likened to a powder keg with a lit match on the rim. Electrical work is absolutely not my first 'rodeo', I do know quite a bit and the parts that I didn't, were refined by being privy the sheer and unadulterated professional installations by these guys, as well being shown technique to improve my own electrical work. In essence, I know what faulty, shoddy work is, and the work done, namely by Erik, and Homer, is the opposite. For lack of better terms the work was; top notch, dead on, perfect in every possible way! The only thing that was better were the rates for the volume of work (whole-home and garage device replacements). I can sleep at night knowing that my building will not perish in flame, nor myself in my sleep due to the absolutely top quality work done by these men (especially Erik). I am still astounded that I actually found honest contractors who stuck to quote, were really reasonable in cost, and best of all did the work with integrity and pride and even arrived before they were due, very likeable and courteous as well. No shortcuts, no trickery, just quality and solutions. If you are in need of an electrician, there is absolutely no other choice. You will absolutely not find better. I worked in trades and I couldn't, until now.

Just wanted to leave this review as a thank you to Homer, Erik, Tyler and Mark. Excellent work, I couldn't imagine something better. Thanks again!

Called them for 2 jobs(fixing/replacing locks and plumbing).  They were able to make something within 48 hours work.  The handyman was within his 2 hour window, professional and knowledgeable.

My only head's up is they charge a 2 hour minimum so make sure you have enough tasks that will take the entire 2 hours.

Can't say enough good things about these guys, they were always honest, did the job quickly, they were on time and most importantly professional.  Thank you again for fixing our garage.

We called in the morning for a suite of electrical issues, and Bob came out in the afternoon and had everything fixed in an hour.  Pleasant, hard-working, helpful. I just hope we aren't pestered by sales calls like the other reviewers were.  If that's not a problem, we'll call them again.

Called for a big job, replacing kitchen and bathroom wiring. He was late to the quote and no-call, no-show for the actual work. I called him to ask how far away he was and he said he forgot about it and can he come the next day instead.

I called these folks to come help me with a project when I got 3/4th in and couldn't figure it out. They were able to schedule a time the next day (!) and they showed up right on time, got done in 30 minutes, and did everything I needed. Professional and competent. Can't ask for more than that! Nino and Andrew were good guys, and clearly knew what they were doing. Much appreciated! I'll definitely be using Fixer in the future.
