Best Businesses in Illinois

The experience with Fixer was an absolute joy. They came on time, and fixed and installed everything that we requested in a timely, safe and technically sound manner. I would highly recommend them for all of your home needs.

Steve is the electrical contractor you are looking for! Quick response time, friendly, knowledgeable and cleaned up. No surprises with pricing, what he quoted was what we paid. Will definitely use him for all future project's!

I found Steve and Greg through a Moms of Western Springs FB group. We had a switch go out and there was an arc of electricity so I was concerned about fixing it as soon as possible. I called Monday night and they got out Tuesday morning and fixed the problem. Their response was remarkably fast and the quality of their work was exceptional. Thanks Steve and Greg!

He is the best electronic technician I've ever met

Honest price and effort I want to give 10 stars if it is possible

Don has made my yard look so beautiful on the outside from overhead cable lines to burial. Moving my electrical lines in my basement to another area of the room. Always kept in touch with me every step of the way, always answering all my questions. He finished the job on time! I would highly recommend him for any electrical work! It was a pleasure to work with him and his crew!

This is the 2nd time I've use this company.  I put a claim though the home warranty and the company they sent out told me my box needed to be replaced and the 2 main wires to the main had to be replaced.  Matt tested the wires and said the other company was inaccurate.   Saved me $800.  The warranty company wasn't going to pay to upgrade the wire.

Matt was in and out and I have reliable electricity for a life time.  I highly recommend them.

What an GREAT experience--they amazed me from 1,000 miles away!!

My mother called me from Schaumburg last night to say that her furnace quit working (I live in Colorado).  She had already called another repair company to come out and assess the problem.  Her furnace was deemed by this company as dangerous to use and she was told she'd need a replacement for the unit as well as some new duct work.  The price tag was $6300.  Ouch!  My mom was cold and really wanted to just get the job done quickly.  She almost hired them. . .  
Then I got on yelp this morning to see if I could help her get a second opinion.  OneStop immediately caught my eye since they had such great reviews.  I was able to get a hold of someone right away (even on a Saturday morning, 8am!).  Camille was terrific over the phone!  She was empathetic and understood the position that I was in:  trying to take care of my cold mom from 1,000 miles away.  She said she'd have one of her guys give me a call soon and within 30 minutes, I was on the phone with Robert.
Even over the phone, it was immediately obvious that Robert was someone with loads of experience and highly competent.  He said he could be to my mom's house to check it out within the hour--My Hero!
Robert got there quickly, assessed the situation and determined that the other company that had come out had tried to bamboozle her.  My mom DID NOT need a new furnace after all.  Robert quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it on the spot.  He even stuck around a little while to make sure that it was running well and would keep running so that he wouldn't have to turn around and come back (we've had that happen before too with another company!).  Robert called me when all was said and done to explain the work that he'd done.  He even sent a quote for a new furnace so we'd know what we were in for down the line (it was almost $2,000 less than the other quote she'd received!).  Robert was kind enough to follow up with a phone call this evening just to make sure that everything was still running well.  Completely Above and Beyond!!
I'd like to say a big thank you to Robert, Camille and OneStop.  I am so grateful that I found you today and that you were able to help my mom.  We learned a lesson today--be careful who you trust.  Always get a second opinion and ALWAYS call ONESTOP!!

Jeff came out to give a quote for some electrical work in my two bathrooms.  It was pretty simple stuff: four can lights on dimmer switches, low voltage LED lights, and a bathroom exhaust fan.  I was totally unimpressed by Jeff's knowledge as I was having to tell him how to do things (you'll need to cut this 2x4 and put in a 4 slot electrical box, you'll need to run a whip here and run a box here....).  Basically I had zero confidence that Jeff knew what he was doing.  Jeff also said he would send me a quote and he never got back to me.

Pros
--Jeff was very friendly and flexible considering I showed up 15 minutes late to meet him for the quote

Cons
--I was not confident that Jeff knew what he was doing
--Where was the follow up??

From start to finish, working with Safe Electrical was an excellent experience.  The wonderful scheduling and customer service from Noelle assured me that we were making the right choice. Danny and the crew fixed and replaced a bedroom light, installed a ring front door camera, installed two kitchen lights and raised the electrical wires coming into our house to make them up to code. Would highly recommended their services!

I would highly recommend Dave. Showed up for the job clean,von time and brought a mask with him. Gave a fair price and did great work. Cleaned up after the job. Was friendly and polite. I will be calling him again for any other services I need.

Matt is very professional and knows his stuff. The quoting process was extremely thorough and price was very fair. We had Matt do a fair amount of work to our home and the results were fantastic. If you are looking for a very good electrician that will get the job done in a timely fashion and the results are fantastic, give Goldstream a call. We look forward to using Goldstream for all our future electrical needs.

Very professional and knowledgeable tech.    After getting a couple quotes from different companies I decided to change the electric panel and  install the ev charger with Electric Castle . Mike and Bogdan explained the process and the steps they have to do in order to get the job done. Very careful around the house, clean and outstanding job overall
Totally recommend

Had a great experience with Randal Electric. I'm selling my condos in Chicago and some very minor electrical work popped up on the home inspection report. I called a few different electricians on Yelp in the area and a lot hung up on me because my request was too small for them to set an appointment. I communicated with Randy what I needed to be done and he was confident that it would be a quick and easy fix, plus he'd be able to put me down for an appointment the next morning. Eddie was my electrician who was right on time this morning. He was polite and professional and after he was finished with the breaker he even asked if he could review the home inspection report to make sure everything needing an electricians attention was covered. I appreciate honest businesses in home services. While searching for electricians I ran across CR Electric and they tried to upsell me on an entire new panel a 4-6 hour job that would have been unnecessary and over the top. Eddie was able to make the breaker safe and eliminate the double tap breaker installed by a 10+ year old alarm system company that I never used in 7 years of owning the property. I'm glad I called Randal Electric and if I need electricians for the next 4 condos about to go on the market I know who I'll be calling!

Edwin is responsive, friendly, and solved our electrical issue promptly. He also installed electric to our deck. Highly recommend.

These guy's are great! I had called several electricians, including the people I had been using for the past three months, and could not get anyone to come out; scheduling for service was at least several days out and I needed service right away.

I looked further in Yelp and discovered Homer's, who happens to be right in Rodgers Park (don't know why I didn't find these guys earlier because I sure as hell would have used them). My previous electrician, I could never understand his pricing because it seemed as though he would never have an idea what the costs of the job was going to be until after the he finished a job, and I really hated writing checks at the end of each job.

Anyway, Homer and his partner came on the same day I called and discovered the problem I was having was so minor that they didn't charge me. Don't find that happening very often. Aside from that, they were very friendly and give me great advice. I will be using these guys moving forward.

My condo building is in the middle of a structural assessment and we have engaged HandiCo's drywallers (at least 4 of them) to cut holes in the drywall both in owner's homes and in building common areas.  The project is a pain and a mess but HandiCo's team has been fantastic to work with. They have been very professional, kept the mess to a minimum (as minimum as it can be with holes in your ceiling) and have been absolutely meticulous about clean-up. They work efficiently, communicate well about scheduling and work progress and I would confidently recommend them.  Thanks especially to Mike, the master scheduler, who has worked with our many unique needs and complicated schedules.

I reviewed Perfected Electric Services over a year ago. I called on them again a few weeks ago in August. Still a 5 star good value operation. Having some remodeling done in the bathroom so I got an estimate from the electrician recommended by the company doing most of the bathroom work. Perfected Electric Service installed our lighted mirror, bathroom fan and updated other lighting as we requested for nearly half the  price quoted by the electrician they recommended. Difficult install for the fan but once again creative problem solving by PES got it done without having to open up the ceiling.

Customer service is a major dealbreaker for me, and I just talked to this company. I do not like it when people answer me in a choppy manner. I'm also not a big fan of people being impatient when you ask questions ahead of time. The lady told me immediately that it would be $150 for a half n' hour, which I think is a bit steep compared to a site like Fixer. Their website says the estimate is free. I had to ask four different times if I had to pay the $150 upfront. She said I did finally. I asked her, What is the FREE estimate? She told me they only give free estimates on bigger projects. The website does not specify that. I confirmed that they offer payment plans, which it says on the website. She says not for little jobs like this for $150.

I reminded her that she has no idea what the issue is and no one has come out to see it. She told me she definitely knows that it's the light switch. I told her that her website says nothing about a minimum or maximum on payment plans. She said nothing.

She just had too many answers too quickly for me. Two people I know and trust used their service for a much larger job, but word of mouth only gets you so far. If your customer service presents itself in this annoyingly know-it-all manner and doesn't seem to know what's on the website, hard pass! I'll look into the two other companies that I was already going to get an estimate from. They charge less and so far one has had extremely better customer service.

And worst of all, after clearly saying I'll pass on service with this company, that Diamond company the rest of the Yelp! reviewers complained about called me twice in less than a few hours after I talked to a Customer Service rep. I told this rep she had the wrong number and blocked it. I regret even calling this company to begin with.

Angel, did a great job.. Was polite, explain work and pricing.. I will definitely use his sevices again...

Nathan Could not have been nicer!  Did a great job installing a door.  highly recommend!
