Best Outdoor Light Repair in Chicago IL
Honesty Shines Bright
First, let me say that it's obvious from these reviews this business owner prefers more modern (and in this case efficient) ways of communication. I can understand about how frustrating it is to field phone calls, get voicemails, answer emails, (not to mention review and reply to Yelp requests) etc. Personally I appreciate a business that is willing to transcend the ol' phone-tag method to service his clients. It was because of this that I called him as you're never going to get 100% satisfaction from every customer... and if you think that 100% satisfactionlevel really exists? Well, I've got a bridge in Alaska to sell you!
I first called Blacklite today for an estimate. His voicemail mentions that you can text or leave a voice message with your request; I obviously chose to text him back. He replied within 5 min of my request and we corresponded succinctly but efficiently. It turns out my issue wasn't one at all and my misinterpretation of Nat'l codes would have been several hundred dollars worth of work that any contractor could have exploited. I was able to include photos and gave a detailed description and although it was a few text messages back and forth in the end I didn't need an electrician at all. It's rare to find this type of candidness and assistance in a field (i.e.- Home repair and improvement) wrought with hacks and crooks so I'm very impressed with the response and especially the time he took out of his day. At the very least it deserves a kudos but instead I've already passed him name and number along to another friend who could use a bookmark for an honest electrician.

Victor was one of the most competitive bids for the outlet that I needed for my tesla.
I have an older house that requires a lot of extra detail and he was able to accomplish with 0 problems. He is friendly and knowledgeable and that is why I chose him over others.
Thank you for all your help

So fast and efficient! Spoke with Frank. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. Within a few days, Frank was able to get someone out to take care of it for us. Michael who came to do the job was courteous and even showed up a few minutes early. Loved that they were able to share their business with us on such short notice and I highly recommend Aardvark! Thank you guys!!

I'm in the process of buying a home and needed estimates on some fixes after the inspector reviewed the home. I messaged LMV and they called me within 5 minutes giving me ranges of estimates for my questions even though they didn't have all the necessary information. They called me back again after i had forgotten to ask another question within a couple minutes and once again gave me estimates on a variety of possibilities. They were quick and very informative and you can't ask for more.

I rarely post reviews but had to. Their add said the average callback is 10 minutes. They called me in 8. I had three lights installed outside then had an outlet added to my home. The crew that did the work was on time, professional, knowledgeable, and provided great service. The prices were very reasonable. I found them in Google but added them to my contacts. I will be calling them back with more work.

Don was very responsive in scheduling the appointment and Mike who completed the work was punctual and thorough. Extremely happy with the work completed which included changing out several light fixtures and a general safety inspection of the electrics. I will certainly use Donatello Electric again for future projects.

I have never written a bad review: I hate posting this. My recent experience was so negative I feel responsible to share: After 4 years of trusting Safe Electric to be honest & fair with pricing and work quality, I now realize that the work they did in my home was sloppy, not done to prevailing best practices, and extremely overpriced. I was a good reliable customer and deferred to Safe's advice for years; after all, Charles took advantage of my trust and way over-estimated a large project which had to be completed by another electrician.
*** My advice: while SAFE ELECTRIC may be fine for routine things, if you are doing a larger job: get another estimate!! When I alerted the owner about my concern he just got mean, pushed back and became a bully! I did not deserve the extra aggravation.
I have since worked with much more honest, decent, professional, creative, careful and SAFE local electricians.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PROJECT!

Corey and his team installed an overhead light in my bedroom and did wonderfully. He provided me with a honest quote and came to provide the service promptly. I will definitely call Perfected Electric for future needs!

These guys are reliable, responsive and professional!
I am very satisfied with the service I received for replacing a GFCI outlet. The price was also competitive and fair. I highly recommend them.

Exceptional family-owned business. Uriel and his father do a great job. Professional and efficient. We needed our wiring evaluated in a section of our industrial facility. What we thought would be a complicated job was evaluated, repaired, and replacement parts installed in under an hour. Reasonable rates too. Highly recommend. Montoya is now our go-to electrician service.

Our Condo building uses ABS Electric for our common area electrical repairs and equipment replacement. Have not had a job they could not do.
My wife and I had used them in the past in our condo unit for a chandelier move and adding a couple of dimmer switches. All went well.
Today we used them to add two ceiling can lights with dimmer switches and rough out a wall in our bedroom so we could add an electric fireplace. More work then I imagined but they tackled the job of moving conduit pipes that where there, adding a junction box and another two outlets. Brian and Jason were on time, worked hard, did a couple of great installations and left the area neat and clean.I thought the price was fair. I feel comfortable recommending ABS Electric to my condo neighbors.

Jaime is an amazing and courteous professional. He was worried that the job he did at my place was simpler than he quoted me for. For no additional charge, he fixed bunch of other things in my place just to make sure I feel confident that he was ripping me off. He did all the necessary due diligence for every task he took care of and worked very tidy and clean. I highly recommend him and will call him for all of my electrician needs from now on

Could not say enough great things about Milan at MD Advanced Electric. Hired him to hardwire my pool pump. I kept getting delays in my pool install, and Milan was super flexible. The day he came out to do the work, it was well over 100 degrees with the heat index. Milan got all the work done quickly, and even took the time to show me that all the safety aspects of the install were working.
Would absolutely hire again!

I needed a licensed electrician to install a bonding conducter in my main panel; as result of a recent home inspection. Cliff was very responsive and professional, by explaining everything prior to the work. Most importantly, the price was reasonable and he followed up as promised with a detailed invoice receipt.

An electrical outlet blew and burned a hole in our sofa. A to Z made an appointment for the same afternoon (the afternoon before July 4th, came promptly, and fixed the outlet in a very short time. Couldn't be better!
