"Jim was the first to answer my call of request. I normally do not go with the very first person of hire concerning work done on my home. He called each morning for accurate scheduling and showed up on time. When Jim arrived I found him to be a politely warm and friendly businessman. I found Jim to be an experienced electrician, knowledgeable and informative. He understood right away what was needed to get the job done and did it well. I would recommend Jim to anyone needing an experienced electrician to get the job done efficiently. Jim went out of his way to do a complete and exceptional job for me in installing electrical outdoor lights to my detached garage. I'm pleased with the way he neatly positioned the wiring, etcquickly and accuratelyprofessionally well done. At one point, I was indecisive concerning the actual light fixtureswasn't exactly sure what I wanted. He was patient and helped me to decide. Again, I'm well pleased. I will certainly call on Jim in the near future for electrical work that needs installation and/or repair.. Thanks much Jim for a job well done. Peggy Randolph"

"McGregory painting was everything I hoped for and more. Not only did Luke finish ahead of the schedule we agreed on, he did extra work just to make sure everything was perfect. Not a drop of splattered paint or speck of dust left behind either. From start to finished project, pleased every step of the way. Hire them."

"Devon was prompt and efficient installing two motion sensor lights. His price was more than fair and he suggested a few other electrical fixes in the garage that needed to be done for safety reasons. He was professional and experienced and I highly recommend him for your electrical needs."

"Aris Tasho contacted me within a day of when I posted the job on Home Advisor and he was able to come out to give me an estimate the same day. He was on time for the estimate and scheduled the work within 3 days. He was on time to install my lighting fixtures and installed the lights in about 5 hours. He was very polite, neat, and did an excellent job installing the fixtures. I thought the price was fair. I would highly recommend Tasho Electric!"

"I cannot say enough good things about Abraham and his team. They were indispensible during a challenging and stressful move. Not only did they do a superb job of installing a ceiling fan to an 18ft ceiling, multiple patch repairs, seamlessly replacing and installing bathroom extractor fans that into non standard sized spaces, filling countless nail holes and repainting, and reattaching a dislodged dishwasher, Abraham did all of this amidst the chaos of a move and made MULTIPLE trips to Home Depot to color match paints when I provided the wrong cans. He was patient, thorough, and went WAY above and beyond any expectations in both service, execution, and generosity. If you have anything you need done in your home, make these guys your first call!"

"JOE AND HIS STAFF HAVE DONE AN EXCEPTIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL JOB. THEY WERE VERY CLEAN AND COMPLETED THE JOB WHEN PROMISED. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT IF A PROBLEM SHOUD OCCURR IN THE FUTURE, THEY WILL BE THERE TO FIX IT. HOWEVER, THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE ANY PROBLEM BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL JOB WAS DONE CORRECTLY. I HAVE ALREADY RECOMMEMDED THEM TO MY RELATIVES AND FRIENDS WHO HAVE ALREADY CALLED THEM FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A GENERAC GENERATOR."

"Almost unbelievable service from a fantastic company, practically unheard of nowadays. From the very first call, estimate, follow up questions job completion, not one fault. Carlos and his father installed a Tesla wall charger and an additional 20amp outlet in my garage. The installation and attention to detail was impeccable. This company cares about quality of work and their customers. I highly recommend, I couldn't be more happy."

"We have used Cordial Electric for many projects over the years. They have completely rewired our basement, replaced our circuit breaker box, replaced old outlets with new, and fixed outdoor lighting. They are always professional, on time, no-nonsense on the job site. Their prices are competitive and I would never use another electrician than Cordial Electric. You will not be disappointed."

"We hired Parker Electric to install several new LED canned lights into our existing kitchen as well as retrofit some old cans and have a island fixture and remove old fixtures. Brian, the owner, contacted me within an hour of my HomeAdvisor submittal to review my needs and provided a very competitive written quote soon after. Once hired, we scheduled the work a few days later. David, his master recessed can electrician, arrived for the apportionment and reviewed the job, provided expert advice on the layout, and then proceeded to complete the job quickly and on budget. This included correcting some previous non code junction box issue he found without charging me extra to correct. Both David and Brian were professional, courteous and sought my input when any question came up. I would say they wanted to make sure I was extremely happy with the job before considering it completed. I would not hesitate to call Parker Electric for any further electrical work and would highly recommend you give them a chance to bid your project!! The difference with Parker is they will help you with suggestions to your project instead of just doing the work. It was a real pleasure doing business with them."

"Mike came out on time. He did a wonderful job. The work requested was to replace a bad Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter receptacle and a new outlet for my newly installed garage door opener. He was here for about 2 1/2 hrs. at an amazing low cost to me. He even installed a switch that was bad that I didn't know about for it has been in there for many years."

Electricians do a fair amount of larger remodeling and new construction projects but also common residential projects including:
For cost information related to the above tasks, visit our Electrical Cost Guide.
A truly skilled, well-equipped professional with a truck full of parts that charges $100 an hour can be a much wiser choice than an inexperienced hack, working with inadequate tools and no parts, but charging much less. Often, more experienced professionals get the job done quickly with warrantied work.
2. Compare Travel ChargesRates reflect travel times. Travel charges can have a big impact on your costs and are in some ways easier to compare than hourly rates. Many electricians spend a third or more of their time navigating traffic on their way to a jobsite. Every contractor must find a way to pay for the expense of driving each day.
3. Bundle Repair Jobs TogetherWhen you feel it’s time to call a pro, review your list and then conduct a mini-inspection of your home. Look for faulty switches and dysfunctional or crowded outlets. When the electrician comes, you’ll save money and time by getting everything taken care of at once.
4. How to Prepare & What to Know Before the Electrician ArrivesCarol Stream Electricians are rated 4.9 out of 5 based on 1185 reviews of 1185 pros.
