Best Smoke Detector Installation in Chicago IL

We were looking to install RING security cameras in the front and back of our property.  Stefan came out the day after I reached out to him to assess the situation. He worked with us and our busy schedule and spent the entire day making sure the job was done correctly and up to our standards.  Stefan was extremely professional and we are more than pleased with our new lights and the excellent service we got on this project.  I will be reaching out to Stefan with any electrical needs in the future.  Thank you, Stefan!

Darrel's electrician Nate completely redid the electrical for my 3 flat -- service line, building rewire, new outlets, switches, and installation of all fixtures. Care was taken throughout the entirety of the process to make sure everything would function properly. Their ideas to add things that would improve the functionality of the building were spot on (intercoms, island outlets). I was on a budget and did not feel oversold, everything turned out flawlessly in the end.

I also completely redid the plumbing and had to do extensive gas work, and specifically Zeno's work was excellent. All of my internal plumbing is drastically improved, and we were able to service the addition of a W/D and dishwasher on each floor.

I sent an email to T & D just after 10:00 PM one night after the power started going on and off in part (but not all) of my house.  The specific way in which this was occurring made me quite anxious, and I was impressed to see, when I got up the next morning, that T & D had responded to my email at around 1:00 AM and had already scheduled to come to my house first thing that morning.

Rodrigo arrived as scheduled, did a thorough assessment and diagnosed the problem.  It turns out that ComEd was the responsible party for addressing the issue.  I contacted ComEd while Rodrigo was still at the house, and he got on the phone and explained his findings to them.  They scheduled a visit for that same day, based on Rodrigo's diagnosis of the problem, and late that evening the ComEd technician came to the house and made the necessary repair.  The ComEd electrician confirmed that Rodrigo had been spot on in his assessment and the problem was solved, much to my relief.

Not only was Rodrigo accurate and professional in the service he provided, he was also very personable and took the time to explain thoroughly what he found.  Highly recommended!

Ted and his son were great!  Ted was very responsive in getting me a quote and setting up an appointment time.  He confirmed with me the day of, and showed up on time.  He installed light fixtures and changed a switch for me.  Pointed something out that would have been a huge mistake on my part as to the type of lighting fixture that I had purchased.  Very friendly guys, I will not hesitate in contacting them again in the future for any electrical work.

Fast efficient knowledgeable service and fair price. Can't beat that!

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.

Edgar did an amazing job for me.  He came through the house, determined the scope of the project, then provided an on the spot estimate (which was very accurate after the fact, something of which I'm always appreciative.).
I couldn't be more pleased with Edgar's work; he knew precisely how to replace my switches with digital equivalents, banged out a couple of faulty outdoor outlets, and even replaced some hard to reach lightbulbs.  
I'm pretty picky when it comes to reviews, especially about home repairs.  If this is typical of Fixer, be sure I'll be calling them again for my next home repair.

Hm.  I'm not sure if this company ever served me, but I ended up in a spot on the Yelp website where I had to leave a review or at least stars... so 5 stars or zero stars?  I'm more of a five star person, so there you go.

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.

This week was the second time that I have used Highlights Chicago.  The first was back in 2017, when we first bought our house. We wanted to swap up some fixtures and install a ceiling fan.  The guys showed up the next day, right on time, and were done in just about two hours.  Price was reasonable, and workers were super professional.  

That leads us to this week.  We just completed adding a new deck to our home.  And of course, any outdoor living space needs power.  So I immediately turned to Highlights Chicago.  As with 3.5 years ago, the crew was able to come out right away.  They looked at our new deck, helped us decide where to put the new outlets, ran a new line, and even swapped out some old outlets for us. They were here for about half a day.  The crew even swept up a little before they left.  Could not be happier with the service.  Thanks to Kamal and his crew for being so professional and prompt.

Steer Clear. This is not a legitimate electrical company. Gave me an estimate and did the electrical work for an EV charger in our condo building. Even though building management didn't request City of Chicago license initially, they checked for it later (it can be asked for at any time) and this company is not licensed in the City of Chicago and its illegal to do residential work without it. The job was done completely wrong and he almost blew the sump pump and electrical to entire building by connecting to a panel inexplicably and was told not to. Installed wiring that was bent and broken and taped together which could have caused shocks and burning. New contractor easily installed it - no bends or breaks. The wall outlet installed was open and exposed, and if water dripped to it could electrocute people. Sloppy, cut corners, dangerous, illegal and not up to code. Absolute garbage, rushed work. Refused to get City of Chicago license and come fix job. We will be pursuing our money back. This is an illegitimate electrical company. Avoid at all costs.

Addendum to review:

Right, I'm not an electrician , but here are couple facts that a real electrician should have known and done, that found out about your job.

You were told by the building engineer to use the 480/277 volt panel because 208/120 was already at the capacity.

You just plainly ignored that and proceeded with your version. Maybe you don't know the difference between two.

You ran 208/ 120 wires through 480/277 panel which was a huge code violation and a human life safety issue.

And that's not all:

Then you spliced those wires inside that panel multiple times -- code violation.

You then decided to use lightning contractor conduit to run the wires and overfill that conduit -- code violation.

You installed the breaker at the wrong panel (which was at capacity) so you overloaded that panel.

The wire was badly scraped

You removed pipe straps and made the electrical conduit loose -- code violation.

J boxes that you installed were unsecured and loose with knock outs missing -- code violation

I'm still waiting on the city of Chicago electrical registration paperwork  from you.

A qualified electrician would know right away that he is working with 480/277 volts and would have informed me that i needed a step down transformer in order for the EV charger to work!

On top things you have charged me over $2K for 2 J boxes and a roll of #6 wire, which costs $600 at the most. The piping was already 97% there , so what took you so long.

It took a qualified electrician a total of 8 hours to remove the faulty work and install everything from scratch including installing the transformer.

We'll happily accept a refund to settle this matter

I wanted to give a big thanks to Jose and Rodney for the fantastic job they did in our home! We had an entire room needing new recessed lighting where there was none before. They got the job done in a timely fashion and the result is beautiful. We also had sconces put in a wall which never had fixtures there before. Several other electricians quoted a similar price as Tweaks and Finishes, but would not do the patch and paint work for the damages done in the process; they said I would have to hire someone else to patch the holes in the wall! Jose and Rodney did it all, from installation, to patching and painting, from start to finish. No one else that I spoke to offered this complete service! These guys are a great team and are great at what they do.

I highly recommend Tweaks and Finishes for any job, big or small, and will be happy to work with them in the future!

Highly recommend Jake and his team for electrical projects large and small. Early on during COVID he installed a new outlet so we could relocate a desk and while there provided some options for adding light to our dimly lit basement. We finally contacted him for the basement work and he responded right away and was able to come within a few days. The basement looks fantastic and Jake went out of his way making multiple trips to stores looking for hard to find parts. Fair prices and high quality work!

Had a really great experience with this company.  Agree with the below reviews that if you are not a fan of doing business by text, this may not be for you.  Personally, I love it and it made the experience easier.

Electrician was on time, got thte job done and came in under budget.  Work looks great and I will certainly use this company again in the future.

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.

Noel and Kieran are absolutely wonderful! Very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable with their trade. The work they performed to run a new circuit for my EV Charger was done perfectly and exactly as requested. They did a wonderful job of cleaning up after the installation. I will definitely use Alltown Electric again for my future electrical work! Keep up the great work!

Mike V immediately responded to our inquiry; provided a reasonable quote for the amount of things we needed done in our older home; did an excellent job; and we are extremely pleased with everything he did.  He was professional, honest, very hard working, friendly, easy to communicate with, and we will not hesitate to call Mike V back for all future needs whether small or big.  Thank you, Mike V!

We wanted to install Canned lights so I did my research on yelp and I came up to this company. I noticed that they had five stars out of over 50 reviews. This was a really good sign. I called the owner of the company and told him what we need and we scheduled an appointment with him because the price point was extremely fair. They install the four Canned light for $572. The lights are beautiful and they have made our living room looks so much better.

Kent and his team are incredible. We had such a terrible experience with other electrician's estimates and Kent responded quickly,  professionally, and perfectly blunt. He fit us into his schedule in a very short time period and ran around town to pick up materials when he realized we were missing items. Would highly recommend him to anyone!
