Best Businesses in Illinois

Stefan was prompt from beginning to end.  He responded in a timely manner to the initial inquiry for quotes on Yelp, and was timely in all follow up communications.  He provided a fixed fee for the work.

He came on-time and rapidly assessed the work to be done (replacing under cabinet lights, replacing wall switch). He also provided an alert on a GFCI wall switch that was likely to fail in the near future.  I happened to have a spare outlet, which he installed for no added cost. - saving me a future trip and inconvenience when the outlet failed.

He worked quickly and cleaned up the countertops (from dust when drilling) when he was finished.  He explained the controls on each fixture, as well as noted that the dimmer switch causes a buzzing sound from the lights (Home Depot told me that this was the correct switch for the lights, turns out it is not - it works fine, there is just that buzzing sound).

Stefan was a pleasure to work with - I recommend his services.

Darrell and Enis did a great job installing two light fans on 15ft ceilings, two pendent lights over our kitchen peninsular and a new outlet for the washer. Enis was very polite, hardworking and particular. He did a fantastic job. We just went through a condo remodel, hiring painters, cabinet installers, countertops, plumbers and floorers. Sims and Sons were the only team to execute perfectly with no problems.

These guys work hard and deserve the business. I referred Darrell before the job had even started because I was so impressed. My one piece of feedback would be to provide a written estimate as well as voice, just to detail what was included. That being said, Darrell was super understanding and we sorted it out. A minor detail which would not stop me using you guys again in a heartbeat.

All the best,
George

Sorely overpriced. I needed an electrical outlet repaired. T&D had to pull a permit to do this work. The permit costs $75. The breaker that was replaced costs about $40. I was charged $300 to repair one electrical outlet. I didn't know any better, but I know now.

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!

Joe is fantastic!  Joe did all this at our 80 year old house:
- replaced old ceiling fan with new ceiling fan/light fixture
- removed old track lighting and replaced with pendant lights
- installed chandelier
- installed can light and overhead light in kitchen
- replaced/repaired switches

Joe knows what he is doing and offered suggestions to improve our lighting ideas.  He dealt with the quirky wiring in our old house.  He was very responsive and worked quickly and cleanly.  Joe's prices are fair and reasonable.

I highly recommend Joe and will call him again if we have future electrical needs.

Christian was responsive and professional. He fixed the issue quickly and within 24 hours of requesting the quote on Yelp.

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!

This man arrived early and told us how to save money rather than rip us off. He shared stories about his own parents situation in a similar older home he rewired himself. Thoughtful and reasonable other electricians were higher tha his estimate by more than 700 plus. He did things right taking his time and showing us exactly what he was doing and why. It was kind of refreshhing to work with him thanks ryan my parents are happy about being able to use the aplliances they wanted so badly.

Service was prompt, the electrician great ( he even removed his shoes when he saw that there was carpeting), and the quoted price was what I paid! All in all I can highly recommend this company!

Steer Clear. This is not a legitimate electrical company. Gave me an estimate and did the electrical work for an EV charger in our condo building. Even though building management didn't request City of Chicago license initially, they checked for it later (it can be asked for at any time) and this company is not licensed in the City of Chicago and its illegal to do residential work without it. The job was done completely wrong and he almost blew the sump pump and electrical to entire building by connecting to a panel inexplicably and was told not to. Installed wiring that was bent and broken and taped together which could have caused shocks and burning. New contractor easily installed it - no bends or breaks. The wall outlet installed was open and exposed, and if water dripped to it could electrocute people. Sloppy, cut corners, dangerous, illegal and not up to code. Absolute garbage, rushed work. Refused to get City of Chicago license and come fix job. We will be pursuing our money back. This is an illegitimate electrical company. Avoid at all costs.

Addendum to review:

Right, I'm not an electrician , but here are couple facts that a real electrician should have known and done, that found out about your job.

You were told by the building engineer to use the 480/277 volt panel because 208/120 was already at the capacity.

You just plainly ignored that and proceeded with your version. Maybe you don't know the difference between two.

You ran 208/ 120 wires through 480/277 panel which was a huge code violation and a human life safety issue.

And that's not all:

Then you spliced those wires inside that panel multiple times -- code violation.

You then decided to use lightning contractor conduit to run the wires and overfill that conduit -- code violation.

You installed the breaker at the wrong panel (which was at capacity) so you overloaded that panel.

The wire was badly scraped

You removed pipe straps and made the electrical conduit loose -- code violation.

J boxes that you installed were unsecured and loose with knock outs missing -- code violation

I'm still waiting on the city of Chicago electrical registration paperwork  from you.

A qualified electrician would know right away that he is working with 480/277 volts and would have informed me that i needed a step down transformer in order for the EV charger to work!

On top things you have charged me over $2K for 2 J boxes and a roll of #6 wire, which costs $600 at the most. The piping was already 97% there , so what took you so long.

It took a qualified electrician a total of 8 hours to remove the faulty work and install everything from scratch including installing the transformer.

We'll happily accept a refund to settle this matter

Would highly recommend. These guys worked around our schedule to get an emergency job done and handle a couple other fixes around our house. Will definitely be calling Tweaks & Finishes again in the future!

Jake came to fix an electrical issue on our rooftop. He was able to quickly identify the problem and address it. He was very friendly and reasonably priced. I definitely recommend!

Blacklite is a great company to do business with.  They installed some dimmers for us and solved several other electrical issues.  Neville is prompt and courteous and did a great job.  They seem very experienced and at a good price.  We would definitely use them again.

I don't think five stars are enough to rate them. A class organization from top to bottom. I'm so happy I used them to rid my home of some pesky knob and tube wiring. They really are craftsmen when it comes to the old homes that dominate the Oak Park and surrounding area landscape. I can say that the efforts they exerted to take care of my home were very impressive. I have recommended them to neighbors and will never hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs to have electrical work done.

Tom and his crew do such great work! Highly recommend them. They installed 4 outdoor outlets in our yard and also trenched wires underground so they were no longer exposed to the elements. They were on time, flexible, and just care about doing the job right. Tom is a really nice guy who walks you through all the work ahead of time. Don't hesitate to reach out to him!

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!

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.

We've used Fixer three times.  The first time, Chang solved my problem so quickly that I was able to have him do another task to fill the hour.  The second time, he was unable to solve my problem SO DID NOT CHARGE ME!!  The third time, Patrick completed two tasks--carpentry and installation of a garbage disposal--in just a little over an hour.  I am very impressed with these guys and have already arranged to call them again.
