Best in

I am a huge fan of Small Tyme Electric. I manage a few properties throughout Chicago and I have used them every time i needed anything done. Wether it's some minor updates or a complete remodel. Norh Is an amazing person. Such a pleasure to work with. I always have the worst luck when it comes to contractors so when I find a good one I hold on and don't let go. I'm willing to share with you as I want to keep him working for years to come so he's always there when I need him!

Frank was prompt and very willing to work around my work schedule.  He and his assistant, John, were professional and friendly.  I will use them again!

What a great experience!!  Scott called me right back and had someone out to fix our lighting issue within a few hours. Great service and reasonable prices. Would recommend them to anyone that has an electrical issue.

I've now used Dosie Electric Service twice in two months and they have done an outstanding job each time. On time, professional, courteous and sticklers for perfection. They make a point of keeping you involved throughout the entire process to ensure your satisfaction. Kenneth is wonderful! I have no need to look elsewhere when it comes to electrical work in my homes!

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.)

One of the best electricians in the area, won't charge an arm & leg like the competitors. He installed new lights in my living, mounted my flatscreen & installed two ceiling fans. He is extremely knowledgeable and very timely. All services were done very quickly with no issues.

Penco electric got the work done very quickly! I had two electrical meters converted to one. Awesome job

Highly recommend this company. I had a faulty circuit breaker leave us without power to our coffee bar and bathroom. They were out early the next morning to fix it and also switched out a faulty GFI outlet. They knew what they were doing, were prompt and professional. I'm so glad my home warranty referred me to them. Will definitely call out again for any electrical problems I need fixed.

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.

This review has been long overdue. We were looking for somebody to fix some of our ceiling wall panels. We found the good guys handyman through yelp. We got lucky. They did a great job. They were very efficient and professional. We will not hesitate to hire them again in an instant if we need more work done around the house.

I couldn't be happier with the service provided by this company. Tom was incredibly responsive and had his team on the job the same day I contacted them...a real blessing after all the problems I have had with my contractor. They did an exceptional job and were a joy to have in my home...even my cat loved them! They were professional, conscientious, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. I will definitely have them back and I would recommend them to anyone.

Cancelled 10 minutes before the appointment and ask to reschedule days out. That's all there is to say. Auto fail

Mike and his crew ALWAYS do an outstanding job.  I would recommend them anytime.

Greg and Steve of Duplex Electric are great! I found a recommendation for them on next-door.com, and have since had them out to fix a few different issues. Both times I've called they have responded within hours to my voicemail messages and have come out that day or the next day. They first came out to replace a basement ceiling light. Through this they discovered that the switch was improperly wired. They explained clearly what the issue was, and fixed the switch and replaced the fixture quickly. The second time they came out to install two ceiling fixtures and to replace our kitchen outlets with GFCI outlets. Both times they explained to me clearly what the issues were, worked with safety precautions, arrived on time, and charged a reasonable amount. They are super professional, very knowledgeable, and on top of that were friendly with my crazy dogs - I will for sure call them the next time we need anything electrical fixed. Thank you, Greg and Steve!

AZ Electrical did a great job with our projects which included a new ceiling fan, a dining room chandelier, and a new outlet.  He was professional and easy to have in the house.   I highly recommend AZ Electrical for projects and/or repair.

Hello,

Sam came to my home to add a 220 line for a hot tub I had installed.  the work was impeccable and he took the time to explain things, did my special requests, and even came back to hook up the hot tub after they delivered it as part of my job. he is very reasonable and quick to respond.

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.
