Best Businesses in Illinois

Hopefully this 5-star review helps balance out the guy who got free advice and decided as a thanks he would harm this guy's perfect rating. What a tool.

I would hire Howard again to do work in my home. The cost was extremely reasonable. The job was installing an extra breaker and running a new circuit in my basement with two extra outlets and extending an existing line for a 3rd outlet. Howard 1) Picked up the phone when I called 2) Came over to provide an estimate quickly 3) Has a good appointment turnaround 4) Shows up on time 5) Keeps the work area clean 6) Is happy to answer any and every question.

We have been burned by different contractors and handymen in different ways (we're young first-time homeowners with a fixer-upper) so I really appreciated that Howard looked at the problem we had, provided a fixed-bid amount to do this job, and made sure that he was doing exactly what we wanted with our home.

North Shore Electric is fantastic! I have had them out for two small projects in my older home, and the work they've done is perfect. Bill is a great electrician, very thorough, timely, and performs high-quality work. Well worth the expense (which is reasonable), and highly recommended.

Goran arrived on time, identified and addressed the issue while on site, and had the best rates of anyone we found in our service area. Two thumbs up!

After searching for electricians I found small tyme Electric emailed Norh and we were so happy we made the right choice. After emailing back and forth he was very understanding, Although I knew nothing about electricity. He was very patient and was accurate with the pricing. We appreciate the great work he did and how quick it was done. We will highly recommend for any future electrical needs. Thank you!

Frank maintained a clear line of communication via phone calls and texts throughout the estimation and scheduling process. I found him to be polite, professional, and competent. I had him install a new outlet for an over the range microwave and had him swap out an old two prong outlet with a 3 prong. Great honest service from someone who is dedicated and hard working - not easy to find these days.

Very satisfied.   They came on time, were quick and thorough, and polite.  Ben and Miguel were the team that came to my house.   They replaced a wall circuit, chandelier, and three outdoor lights.  They offered helpful advise in a friendly manner.   I definitely would use again and recommend to others.   Thanks again.

A Reliable Electrician

We had a long-standing problem with some puck lights. Michael Gordon from MPG Electric was the third electrician to look at these lights. He was the first one to look into every aspect of the situation. He found several technical problems with the original installation. Why the previous electricians missed the obvious, we'll never know. Michael fixed what he could with the spare parts we had lying around. Then he left with a list of replacement parts he would need to get the job done properly. A week or so later, he returned and put everything in order. For the first time, we have lights that work. I expect that they will continue to work for years in the future.

I was referred to Michael by Crest Lighting, a very reliable source. He is a properly licensed and insured electrician. He arrived on time, despite the difficult parking situation in Lincoln Park. When he finished, we were satisfied to the point that I gave Michael's business card to our property manager. We live in a 40 story high rise. A lot of us need electricians from time to time. I would recommend Michael Gordon to anyone who needs a reliable electrician

(On a personal note, I have to say that it really was a pleasure meeting this man. From the moment he walked through the door, we had a sense that things were going to go well. We were right.)

These guys are great. I had them install a Nest doorbell and outdoor camera. They were extremely respectful of my home and everything was done professionally and cleanly. Pricing was reasonable too.

Had too many estimates on a remodeling job in my basement everyone was giving me the run around and outrageous prices . I chose Penco because of the awesome reviews and I have to tell you they were awesome , on time , clean work , super job , great price . They wired my 20 new recessed lights and 13 outlets ,8 switches, plus new larger circuit breaker panel and cleaning up wiring by the panel that was bx and using conduit to clean up the area that was over 30 or 40 years of old wiring . Everyone didn't want to do the panel in my house because the pipe coming in from the meter needed to be moved over couple inches . Other companies were just coming in for an estimate and would not call back or they gave me a ridiculous price on purpose so I wouldn't call call them back not Penco they came in confident man unbelievable so happy  I chose them . I would give them 10 stars if I could . Definitely call them back for any job . Great communication nothing hidden everything up front .

I really enjoyed working with Chris and Adrian for our custom cabinet installation. Chris was very open and his communication was on-point, which is so rare in this industry. Adrian was out to install within a few business days and really worked with us to make sure we got what we wanted, especially when little hiccups were encountered along the way (not a single plumb wall in our entire house? Not a problem!) I will call The Good Guys again in the future for sure.

This guy took really good care of an outlet in my kitchen - very professional and informational.

We made an appointment for an estimate and nobody showed up. I called and only received voicemail and nobody returned my calls. Based upon other more positive reviews, I was disappointed in the unprofessional treatment.

Good job, but expensive.

I had 3 pendant light fixtures changed, and a couple of wall outlet covers replaced, all of which took about 1 hrs work and was charged $500. He was coaching his son through the installation so he could get experience.

After observing how easily light fixtures are exchanged, I wish I had more DIY saavy and saved money. Definately buyers remorse.

Ricks polite questioning about how much my Gold Coast condo HOA fee and how much the light pendants cost were inappropriate.

Bottom line. Don't hire them for an easy job. It's overpriced. Hire a handyman at a lower rate.

I live in a very old apartment building (about 125 yrs old) and I was in need of getting two closet lights fixed.  I found Dosie Electric here on Yelp (who was nearby my residence) and called to request help.  Mr. Dosie explained his pricing and set up a date to come out.  This man is very prompt and very professional.  He had to get some parts for the job and was able to come back the next day and was able to use my existing fixtures which saved me money.  He will not sell you what you don't need...he does only what is necessary and it's very important to me because we know how expensive an electrician can be.  It's wonderful to have somebody who is old school and won't try to rip you off. His prices are VERY reasonable and I cannot say enough about Mr. Dosie.....I will definitely keep him in mind if I have any other electrical work that needs to be done.  I highly recommend him!

Very fair pricing and prompt, efficient service.  The owner, Tom Peck, is great to deal with.  He does a great job in a fast and efficient manner.
