Best Businesses in Illinois

I received a follow up call from Stefan today. I accepted the attempt to apologize even though he blamed the incident on a new employee. I don't believe he realizes that the cellphone # he called from was the same as Sunday and it was the same voice and tone used (minus the 4-letter words). He again offered to perform free work (which he stated on the previous review no one would ever offer such from AC/DC). I realize that the goal was not to offer a truthful apology but to ask me to remove my review. I explained that I will not remove my review because it was a truthful and accurate description of my encounter.

I understand times are hard. That is exactly why we all need to be honest with ourselves and kind to others. I will continue to wish your establishment well but I will not be contacting or recommending for any electrical needs.

Have a great day. I hope you are able to discuss professionalism with your employees.

Any additional phone calls to me will be considered harassment.

Great experience working with Sims and Sons Electric and Plumbing.
Started off working with Darrell for a consultation on what I was looking for. I was clear he understood electric/lighting work and was able to give many suggestions as well as pictures of previous jobs for reference.

Day of install Darrell brought Enis and Ando (sorry if I spelled that incorrectly!). They followed COVID protocols and all wore masks the entire time. They worked diligently. They even fixed a previous electrician's mistake to ensure I got the best quality of work and did not just put a bandaid on a previous mistake -  I greatly appreciate that kind of work ethic.

100% satisfied with the work they did and I will definitely be using them again for any future electrical work.

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.

Ted (and son Tom) showed up very punctual, a rarity for any contractor apparently, to their scheduled time. The immediately laid down drop cloths, surveyed what they would need to bring into the home and got to work. They added two outlets in two separate rooms and did so very neatly and professionally. Pricing was a bit higher than I expected but nevertheless they did a professional job and even had to run to HD twice for materials needed as my home gave them extra work to do. All in all I'd recommend. Both wore masks the whole time.

Joe put in a 220 line for me which someone else said would be a problem. Joe figured it out and had the job completed in 2 hours. I definitely recommend him.

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.

Quick reliable professional and reasonable I will recommend and use them in the future

Ryan is very kind and courteous, absolutely no question there!  He arrived promptly, when needed.  My only issue being his quote deviated from the email quote.  Ryan knew our issue prior to arrival so upon his arrival he discovered the issue right away.

Ryan is professional and also licensed.  He is the best in the business!  You will always get the best with him.  Advice: get a quote prior to arrival and stick to it.  He is a great electrician and worth the money!

I was referred to Highlights Chicago by Skyline Electric, another 5-star electrician, and feel that I really lucked out. Kemal was friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive and patiently managed the complexities of my building's strict construction requirements. Ben and Darrel did fantastic work, completing the job briskly and perfectly. They were friendly and answered all my questions along the way. I will not hesitate to reach out to Kemal for any future work and you shouldn't either. 100% recommend.

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

I used tweaks & finishes to help me install some outlets and light switches in various parts of my home. They were fast, professional and reliable. Quick replies to all text messages and good communication overall. I would recommend to others!

I hired Jake and Urban Power to add two electrical meters and relocate the circuit breakers out of the garden unit to a common area so all tenants could have access to them at my 3-Flat property.  He is a master of his craft and did a great job providing solutions to the issues I presented and working efficiently on the install and relocation as well as managing the permitting process with Com-Ed.  He has deep experience working with rental properties and gave me some great insights to add value to the property including installing security lighting which I hired him to do as well.  I would highly recommend Jake and Urban Power for any electrical job big or small.

Very professional and looking to do right by their consumers. Even though Blacklite Electric couldn't come to my home to help fix my issue, they were in constant communication to help me fix my problem over text messages. They requested pictures of my home and offered prompt advice. Guess who would I call when I have an electrical need next time?

The two people who came to install a ceiling fan, two sconces, and add a switch in a vintage apartment were efficient and knowledgeable. $125/worker/hour which seems like the standard rate, with no dilly-dallying.

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.

Wonderful communication and service from Frank and his father. We couldn't be happier with the installation of our lights, switches, and other necessary repairs. Would highly recommend them for your future home needs.

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.

Our back door was over extended and was out of alignment the final straw was the sweep at the bottom of the door fell off and I'm the kinda guy that can't put a nail in straight so with the fall quickly approaching I decided to seek help and fixer filled in that blank
the workers arrived on time explaining the work and supplies needed they went to the store to get the parts (per a hourly rate) and had the door aligned and a new sweep installed within two hours it was one thing I can say was done correctly
