Quality Residential Electric Inc

Had appointment on 10/9 between 2-4, he called and said he would be there closer to 445. Took off work to be there from 2-4, by 545 my wife had to call and reschedule b/c he was still not there. Set an appointment for 415 on 10/14, didn't come until 630. Had a light fixture installed in our bathroom, there are holes where he drilled and patched up poorly, the light fixture was placed in a random spot on the wall (why not center it on the wall)?? After he left, I checked out the light fixture and it's extremely wobbly. Due to all the patching and holes, we will now have to contact someone to replace our drywall in the wall/ceiling and have someone else come out to replace the light fixture properly. Dust had to be cleaned up as well.

He was not able to arrive at the agreed time. He could actually use someone to manage his appointments. Once he arrived to do the work he did a great job. We are selling our house. There were no issues with the home inspection.

Great! Very thorough and knowledgeable of the products and was able to determine the problems with the new fixtures and explained what was done incorrectly with the old fixtures. One of the fans came with a switch that did not work, but was able to at least make the light mechanism work with the existing switch and he explained what would need to be done with the wall to get the newer larger remote switch to fit and work. Looking forward to hiring to come back to finish the job when the replacement part arrives.

Chris was great. Informative and was very reasonably priced. I will be scheduling Chris for additional work.

On time, straight to task, discussed electrical issues knowledgeably, corrected all jobs he was hired to do.

Called them twice and still have not received a response.

Chris is amazing. I could not recommend an electrician more than Chris and Handyman and Sons. We had an emergency issue where our tenants were without power in areas of the apt building. The tenant had tried to flip the fuse box, but it kept shorting out. Not being an electrician, I didn't know how to solve it. I found Chris through Angie's list can called due to his high rating. It is clear why. He responded quickly, listened to the problem, was very candid and honest about potential costs and suggested a number of steps to check with the tenant before spending the $ on an electrician coming out. It turned out we needed to send someone because there was a real issue, Chris was able to provide an electrician out to the apt. the next day despite being incredibly busy. He also suggested that I use the coupon on Angie's list to save me some money. Tom is employee went to the house and did a great job uncovering the problem which was a bad wiring job done by the former owner. Unfortunately, due to the extensive work that needs to be done, I will need to find a Chicago licensed electrician and pull permits. I would have loved for Chris/Tom to do the work. That said, Chris walked me through the process of how to get it done, what to watch out for when selecting a Chicago electrician, and was more than willing to speak with the contractor we go with to educate them on the issues and the work that needs to be done so we can save money. After everything, it was one of the best contractor experiences I have had. Chris cares about his customers and is 100% trustworthy professional. Thank you Chris/Tom for your help!

Completed the work in the 2 hrs I bought. Very knowledgeable. Excellent work. Supplied a couple of parts I didn't have at no cost.

Wow! A+++! Chris is an extremely friendly, knowledgeable/skillful, & even instructive electrician!! And his fees are very reasonable and fair....It was a pleasure to work with him, and we now have our "go-to-guy" for all of our future electrical needs....Highly recommended! Thx!

They did a wonderful job. I hired them again they were so good.

Provided did not wan to install the fan that I purchased. He told me to go buy a cheaper one and he would be willing to install that. I was not interested in doing that.

Great! Chris trouble shot my problem and solved my fixed it. Where as another electrician just shrugged his shoulders and gave me bad advice. He's now my go to guy for electrical problems.

Found several wiring issues from the previous homeowner that had done some basement remodeling. Found exposed wiring and disconnected wiring to sump pump. Rewired and repaired.

Went phenomenal. Great service, honest service, very satisfied

He was knowledgeable. He was able to overcome any problems that came up. He was a little late, but he called to tell me he was still coming.

I had talked on the phone with this electrician and he gave me the date and time he was available to come out. He was warned in advance that I have a 15 year old with autism and waiting at the house for extended periods of time is difficult for my son. This electrician said no problem and gave me a two hour window between 12-2pm. I had asked if he couldn't keep this time to text me so I could take my son swimming or the park. He said sure. I waited for two hours and he never showed up. I text him at 2:15 and asked him where he was, no response. I called him at 2:30pm and he never answered the phone. I called again at 3pm and he answered and said he was at another job. Soonest would be 4pm. My son was already cooped up for four hours and had been promised swimming and Donald's. Obviously I couldn't make him wait another three hours. Approximately fifteen minutes later, I text the electrician and said I wanted a full refund of my $129 since he was so unprofessional. Plus, he didn't honor his appointment time and just blew me off with not even a courtesy call knowing I had a severely special needs teen waiting. I do not trust this man in my house much less do any electrical work done by him anymore. I am also disputing this with Paypal and my charge card so I get my refund of $129 for services not performed. I now need to hire someone else to do my electrical work.

Chris was very friendly, easy-going, and professional. It is clear that he knows what he is doing, cares about his work, and wants to do things right. I think he is a trustworthy person and would hire him again. He also installs garage doors and he took extra time to give me advice and recommendations (at no charge). He seemed concerned about making sure my costs were not too high & I appreciated that.

I purchased this foreclosure that had electrical issues to the point where it failed inspections and I couldn't get top rated insurance. I bought the big deal from Angie's List just to see if it would work out. From the moment I met Chris, I liked his work right away. He was honest and diligent; those two character traits I can really appreciate. He came out to troubleshoot my electrical problem and found it after an hour. He corrected the problem and still had an hour to go. I was completely satisfied, so I brought him back for more electrical work including an installation of a Minka Aire ceiling fan in a 20 feet ceiling which required scaffolding, he also did removed a flourescant lamp and put pendant lights in my kitchen. He did more fans, switches and lights throuhout my home. I am bringing him back this fall for a basement finishing project. I understand that he arrives late when he gets tied up on other jobs. However, he always keeps me informed. I also understand that he brings his son with him to the job, hence, the name, "Handyman and Sons". I am perfectly okay with Chris and his team because he gets the job done and he gets it done right. I know that my basement will pass inspection because he knows the code.

He did what was asked, and was professional.

He was okay and the job he did. There were no additional charges besides the $79 big deal. The pricing was good.

Very well. Chris was terrific

It went very well. Chris and his son were very nice, efficient and professional. They didn't leave a mess and were as helpful as they could be with getting things back to the best state possible. i would definitely call them again to do electrical work.

Work done was excellent. The outlet and porch light function wonderfully. Although the handyman warned us over the phone before work started that a doorbell wiring problem could be time-intensive and not be easily resolved, he looked at it anyway. The wiring issue could not be resolved, but he actually worked past the allotted two hours withno extra charge. We would definitely hire Handyman and Sons again.

He spent, supposedly, the full 2 hours could not pinpoint the root cause of the issue. The issue seemed intermittent so he left. Then issue came back. He then called me stating that I best replace all those old circuit breakers that no one sells. Being a "Licensed Electrician", he cannot use non OEM parts which may not work. He then suggested that he would go on eBay to buy the 8 or so breakers that I need. Of course, the first 2 hours are gone, I also need to pay him additional labor charge of $95 or so per hour. All sounded like a fairy tale... How could a simple circuit breaker issue need more than 2 hours to fix ? So I called an electrician I used before (Scott Coash). He happens to sell electrical parts and stated Siemens is the company that bought out the original maker of my circuit breakers. And of course Siemens circuit breakers are compatible. He went there and within an hour, fixed the breaker and a bunch of other things for a total charge of $95 parts and labor included! Tenant was super happy. So my conclusion is Handyman and Sons are handymen that do not quite know electrical work. Use them for handyman work only Do not be fooled by the $79 for 2 hours value. I pretty much wasted $79 to learn this lesson.

Very professions and service oriented approach. They were on time and came with an attitude of getting the job done in a right way and not necessarily the easiest way.
