Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Mr Paxson was very professional. He arrived on time, provided a written estimate via email, followed his estimate, was polite, cleaned up his mess... fantastic experience!

Eddie (the owner) and his crew were great!
I needed to have some troubleshooting done on some electrical problems which have been ongoing for a while. Eddie found and
resolved all of my issues in my home. I can't say enough great things about him! He is very knowledgeable, efficient, and a perfectionist!
He explains everything he is doing and why, and I learned a lot.
I was extremely happy with the results of his work! Eddie went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right and to my satisfaction, and his rates are reasonable! I will most definitely call
Eddie for any future electrical projects I may have!
I  highly recommend Eddie, his company and his crew!

Tom came out to do a an estimate on  a new house for me.  Amazingly this was no charge and he presented me with a few different options. After deciding on what work wanted done He was able to come out with a couple other guys about a week later. They did a great job.  The previous owners of the new house were apparently do it yourselfers and there wasn't much in the additions that was code.Norb & Son's fixed it the right way.  It's been about month now and everything is still working great and even looks safer.

This company is amazing! I had an electrical issue in the condo that I rent, so I contacted them per the google reviews and I was not disappointed. Jack Arnold personally called me back and put my order in on a Saturday evening. He was warm, and genuine, he expressed concern for my wellbeing and for my situation. We talked about his family and he just was very polite and professional. Pedro came out and played with my boys and continuously reassured me that he would find some sort of solution. We had to wait for calls from ComEd and he was more than patient. He even helped my husband stabilize the Christmas tree that he and the boys were putting up. He also spoke of his family and had had a great spirit . Amazing job, he fixed the issue and we were beyond happy!

I purchased a mirror from Wayfair and added on installation. No one  ever showed up. I was so upset and cancelled the installation with them. I reached out to Eligio, and he contacted me right away. Thankfully, he was able to come out the same day. He installed the mirror in such a short amount of time and was super professional. I highly recommend him!

AJ and his team were absolutely superb. I've used electricians in Chicagoland before and AJ was simply top notch. From customer service to pricing, to the efficiency with which the crew worked, and the fantastic outcome, our experience was outstanding. AJ's team upgraded our 100 AMP panel to a new 200 AMP panel and installed two electric car chargers. Kudos to Gadertech Electric!

GREAT COMPANY TO WORK WITH!!  Provided me with a piece of mind when preparing our 100 year old home ready for closing sale.   Great communication on the service provided and proposed service.  Pricing very competitive.

I recently had an emergency situation and was able to reach these guys. At the time I would have let anybody help me but I'm glad they answered. It turns out the problem was minor and they were honest enough to tell me that. I appreciate the honesty and great service.

Affordable prices and professional work. 5 star electrical company! I will definitely use them again.

Brian completed running electric to my recently finished attic. What a job!! Returned calls timely, price as quoted and so professional. Highly recommend!!!

Had some outlets that were out and one that needed to be fixed! They fixed everything in half an hour and very reasonable pricing! They even called me the next day that I first called to let me know someone canceled and they could come today! Compared to others this was a great price! They were on time and worked quickly! Will use them for remodel!!

I agree with the previous review. Don't be wary of this guy. Just don't do business with him. He also asked us for 60% in advance. OK, I wasn't born yesterday. Nobody asks for 60% in advance. I asked him why it was so high. He said he had to buy supplies. We were installing lighting that we purchased. So what are we talking about - some electrical boxes and some wire?
He was supposed to be at our house at 10am. He called at 9:45 and said that he had some calls that delayed him and that he'd be about 2 hours late. He showed up at 12:30. Then he said that the lights (that I purchased from a reputable lighting company) were no good and that he couldn't install them. I went out to Home Depot and purchased 3 lights for the front closet. He didn't even try to put those in. He just left and said to call him when I had lights for the other closets. Why didn't he even try to put the other light in?
I went out that night and purchased 3 other lights from the lighting company we had previously been to and called Dino to let him know that we had new lighting. We set up an appointment for 1pm on Friday. Dino texted me on Thursday night to confirm that we were still on for Friday. I told him that we were still on.
At 11:26 Dino texted me that he had an emergency panel upgrade and that he would be 2 hours late. 2 hours late seems to be standard for him. Now I am not one of those people who carry my phone with me everywhere I go so I was unable to respond immediately to Dino. By the time I responded to him, he said that he had already made other plans and that he couldn't be sitting around waiting for my reply. Oh, sitting around like I had done for 2 days waiting for him to show up?
He offered to come to the house at 8am the next day (Saturday). Although I was extremely leery at this point, I told him that he could come to the house and finish the job. I told him that I expected him at 8am and that this was his final chance to do the job.
He went ballistic (just as the previous reviewer said, this nut job has a temper) and told me to keep the job and get somebody else to do it. Then he told me that he was going to put a lien on the house for the work done. Then he said that he was going to call the village because I didn't get permits. Let's see, if I needed permits to put lights in, don't you think my licensed electrician should have told me that?
Stay far, far away from this lunatic.

I hired Advanced Area Serv Corp to do the complete wiring for my 900 Sq Ft Master Bedroom Suite Addition. They were totally awesome! They accommodated my schedule and arrived on time. They completed the work on time and diligently cleaned behind themselves. I was impressed with their professionalism and would highly recommend them to all my family and friends

We've had a horrible experience with KINSLOWSMITH INC. My spouse and I don't write bad reviews and try to resolve things with businesses in other ways.  However, our situation with Ed and KINSLOW SMITH has been so sloppy, fraudulent, unreliable, unethical and incomplete that we feel people need to be warned before ever hiring Kinslow Smith.  First and foremost, the work wasn't complete. We paid thousands and thousands of dollars for Kinslow to rewire our house and we've since found cloth wire.  We've emailed, texted and called Ed to come out and properly rewire our house and he has not come back to fix the fact that there are still cloth wires in our home.  Second, when we contacted Ed to buy his Angie's List deal, he told us to contact him directly instead of going through Angie's List.  We didn't think anything of this at the time, but now we realize this was shady. He wanted to be paid up front - before any work was done and left Angie's list out of the deal. Though we paid for a package - he ended up sending us an invoice for over $3,000 at the end of the job. His office listed a bunch of services that he never discussed with us or quoted to us. It was an unexpected, complete shock - much of it totally unethical.  For instance, on our initial walk through he told us he was going to put a used breaker box in our basement from another job - or we could buy a new one for a few hundred dollars.  However, he ended up charging us $1,598 for a new circuit box. He never told us about this or got this approved.  Another frustration is that Ed left us without heat for 24 hours in the middle of Chicago's frigid winter of 2014 - and I'm pregnant.  He was NEVER at our house to oversee his crew.  His crew was constantly telling us that they didn't know how to do this or that and couldn't proceed without Ed.  This was true of the thermostat as well. We would text, call and email Ed to come over to our house to help his guys and he'd say he'd be there in an hour, but he'd never show up. Sometimes, he'd promise us that he'd arrive for days straight - and never arrive.  On the day we were left without heat, we begged Ed to come over because his guys weren't sure how to properly handle the thermostat wiring. He ended up coming and telling us it was fixed, and it wasn't. We had a huge holiday party at our house that night and the temperature in our home was plummeting into the 40's. We had to hire another electrician to come out and help us. At our initial walk through, Ed said our job would take 5-7 days. It ended up taking over 2 months and it is STILL NOT DONE.  We now have the added expense of having an electrical inspector coming out next week to determine how much cloth wire is still inside our property. As we've given Ed numerous opportunities to come and fix his crew's negligence, we now have no choice but to get lawyers involved. Working with Kinslow Smith has been a homeowner's nightmare. It's been shady from start to finish and we feel as though we've been scammed by his company - paying thousands of dollars for work that wasn't ever completed.
