Best Businesses in Illinois

We had a GFCI outlet installed in our bathroom. Stefan was on time, professional, and did good work. Communication was easy.

I just hired them to come back and install lights in our other bathroom. Attaching another picture as they turned out great!

They were great! I asked for an early appointment and they scheduled me for 7 am....guess what? They were actually there at 7 - none of these 5 hour windows I hate so much. The technicians were very polite, very professional.  And, they were done quickly - I actually made it to work on time! The price was more than fair, and I'm thrilled to have my power back. Highly recommend!

I called on a Monday and left a message for Ted, 48 hours later I have yet to get a text or a callback.

Joe was responsive, on time, fixed the problem quickly and for a fair price. Can't ask for more than that. When he left I was confident the job had been done correctly.

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.

Received great and prompt service from Edward and Julio to install a nest doorbell that needed extra work than the simple install on the packaging. Julio was very respectful of the end cosmetics and worked with us on very professionally the project. Bonus points for mask wearing!

Had Ryan come out to repair a few lights and outlets that weren't working properly. He was able to diagnose the problem and fix the issues. He realized I liked to try my hand at home repairs and gave me some tips and advice for fixing and diagnosing problems myself in the future. Good work by an honest guy.

I have utilized Highlights Chicago on multiple occasions and have been very happy! They are very responsive, professional, and pleasant to work with.   They were helpful on the phone, did a great job communicating around the appointment time,  and were prompt.  They are very friendly and helpful during the repairs - do great work at a fair price.

Great job all the way around!!! Excellent work, fantastic attention to detail. Am definitely going to hire again.

I highly recommend their services.

They came on time and did an excellent job installing a new outlet,  patched up the wall & painted too.

Their rates are reasonable.  Will use their services again.

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.

I had to have a new junction put in, which required cutting into the ceiling. The Blacklite guys came over and did a very nice job and were fast and efficient.

After my excellent painting crew patched and painted the ceiling (see Sefner Painting), Neville from Blacklite came over to install a rather challenging ceiling fixture. He was not going to leave until it was done perfectly!

The final step was installing dimmers. Johnny was happy to go back to the store to get an additional dimmer so I could have a another set of lights done, and also installed a much needed ceiling fan control.

I highly recommend Blacklite Electric. The communication is always easy and the service and quality are fantastic.

We turned to Kinetic Energy a couple years ago on the recommendation of a neighbor, after another electrician did some inadequate work.  They're now the only electricians we'll work with.  They have installed lights and ceiling fans and wired our 1914 house for ethernet.  

Recently we had a couple scary incidents with the old cloth-covered wires... what seemed like shorts in two different spots in the house.  They showed up same-day to fix everything, and took extra time to explain to us what had happened.  It's a relief to know we're safe in our house!

I had 3 people come out for discussions on our project and Tom came up with great recommendations for outdoor installation of lights and fixed some landscaping spotlights. He was reliable, helped pick out products and did a great job.  I'd definitely recommend him and will use him for future projects.

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

Pros: responsive, punctual, honest, respectful of my home, fair pricing
Cons: none found
Alex did a great job replacing a broken switch. He responded quickly to my initial request and was fast in communicating throughout the scheduling process. We are very happy with the quality of work.
We'll likely have to have most of our old wiring replaced and are looking forward to have Alex and his team back. Seems to be a newer company, and I'm glad we took a chance on them.

I have used Fixer twice for various jobs around my new home. I had two Fixers come each time, and each time I found the Fixers to be easygoing and pleasant to work with. However, I have found the work quality to be hit or miss (I had to have a job done by the first set of Fixers re-done by the second set of Fixers) and I struggle with the business model. Because they charge by the hour, there doesn't always seem to be a real incentive to work quickly. The second go-round, I was initially charged over $900 for, essentially, hanging towel bars, hanging pictures, and installing several plant hooks in the ceiling.

Second, most things are automated and you have to be careful about the billing process. The first time I used them I was sent a bill for a service that wasn't performed because the Fixers were running behind and ended up not being able to do the work that day. Still, I received a bill. The second time, I received a bill that was not adjusted for the picture frame one of my Fixers inadvertently broke after she hung it incorrectly. Both times, the issues were resolved after I emailed and texted with the company (phone calls don't even seem to be an option), but if I'd had a credit card on file, I assume I would have just been charged automatically, and I had to be proactive about addressing problems that weren't of my making.

I appreciate the convenience of the service and I'm willing to pay a bit more for a company that pays its people well--assuming that's what it does. But between the excessive expense and the various issues I've had with billing, workmanship, and timeliness, there won't be a third try for me. Good luck ya'll.
