Quality Residential Electric Inc

Could not have asked for more from an electrician. Explained what he thought was wrong (phone consultation). Came in and did the job. Extremely professional helpful and informative. You rarely see someone go out of their way to help you to make sure things function well and you do not have future problems. Hire this guy.

He was hard to schedule--seems to be overbooking himself. He came out and said he could not do the service but would have a refund processed. We were told later that he doesn't have the ability to issue a refund--Angie's List has to do it. Angie's List won't do it because we are past the 30 day limit (and in the fine print they point out) Not happy with Angie's list or the provider.

Chris was awesome to work with! He was even able to squeeze me in before the holidays and did a wonderful job installing my chandelier! I will definitely use him again in the future for any electrical needs!!

I have another job scheduled for this provider. They will be installing a new light fixture, as well as relocating it so it is centered over the table.

I would use them again in the future.

The service went great. Chris came out for the work and did a nice job. He did exactly what I had asked. He completed the job in about n hour and a half. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. We originally thought we would not be able to save the ceiling fan. He suggested I buy another ceiling fan just in case he was not able to fix my ceiling fan but he was able to get the fan repaired. He just had to make a trip for the part he needed but did not charge me for the time he was out to the store. He called before coming out and arrived as scheduled. I thought his pricing was excellent for all that he did. My only warning is that if you want to hire Chris is will take a while because he is very busy.

Chris came out the day after Christmas. He is diligent, kind, professional and clearly passionate about his work. I really appreciated that he loves to teach as he goes along. He noticed a few additional problems I hadn't even mentioned and gave me practical DIY solutions for them (which have really improved the house - thanks Chris!). I ultimately realized that I did not actually need the service I had asked him for and apologized for wasting his time. Even though I was ready to have him leave, Chris insisted on providing me value for my purchase and serviced my garage instead. The "professional" who installed the door put it in lopsidedly causing the mechanism to overwork. Chris repaired this and fine tuned everything so that the door now hums instead of clanks. When I offhandedly mentioned that my homelink system in my cars did not work, Chris showed me why it wasn't programming (despite following the car manual). I was so impressed. He went above and beyond in all aspects. I will definitely hire him again.

He called me to try and schedule an appointment, but his schedule was not working with mine. He was courteous on the phone. I just requested to cancel this service.

Everything went according to plan and Chris did a great job.

He never showed up! This is the worst experience I've ever had on Angie's list. Chris Walsh called me the day before the appointment and we confirmed the appt. for Noon the next day. In his rebuttal if he says anything different he's a liar. Next day I had everything layed out for him. At 1:10pm I called and got his voice mail. Left msg. that it was 1:10pm and he was supposed to be here at noon let me know what's going on. Then at 2:10pm he called me and said he was running over on a job and he was on his way and would arrive in about 30 min. At 4:00pm I called him back and asked what was going on since he still had not shown up. He said he was taking a lunch break and he just listened to my voicemail and because of my "tone" he decided he was not going to do the job. I asked him what was it I said that made him decide not to show up? He said it wasn't the words it was the "tone" he didn't like. He decided he would not fulfill his commitment. Are you kidding me! I waited four hours -and this guy never bothered to call to cancel. After he lied to me at 2:10pm and said he would be here. I told him I've had several other electricians from Angie's List and gave them excellent reviews. He said he'd take a hit on Angie's List because he has hundreds of satisfied customers and Angie's list won't do anything about a negative review. He also said he's using Angie's List to get regular customers. He also told me he doesn't want people looking over his shoulder as he works. Says it's because of "safety". Ya Right! Good luck if you choose this guy. Are you going to get Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde? In his Business description he states "he is always punctual ". Another non truth. He is going to post a rebuttal to my review. This guy doesn't know the first thing about customer service. I read the reviews about this guy on Angie's List and thought he would be a good choice. Boy was I wrong! Bottom line. He blew off a Angie's List customer. I'm a 66 year old American veteran. This is the worst treatment from any business in my life.

He was extremely nice. He showed up three hours later than expected. We have some construction in the room and he wanted to do an assessment before beginning any work. He was here for two hours testing and assessing. He talked for a good hour and fifteen minutes before coming to the conclusion that he wouldn't be able to diagnose the issue, and offered a refund so we could have another company come out to do the work. He was a really nice guy and I appreciated him coming out, but he was just unable to correct my problem.

We scheduled a time for him to come and do the work and then he showed up and said he couldn't do it.

We are very satisfied with the service we received from Handyman And Sons. Chris was incredibly knowledgable, honest and fair in his dealings. He had a lot of helpful information and shared it in a way that was clear and understandable. He did good work, was dependable, trustworthy and very personable ~ I would definitely recommend this company for any home improvements or repairs ~ if you are not sure if they can do what you need, just ask ~ I feel you will get an honest reply of what they can and cannot do ~ how refreshing!!

Great! Met the 2 hour timeframe and did not try to charge any additional money.

Chris did a great job. I have absolute faith/trust based on my experience with him last month. He is definitely a keeper. If you call and he cannot fit you in for some time, please understand there is a reason why. He is a (very) high quality service provider. The buy-it-now was a steal and we will be a returning customer. Chris worked to educate us and HE SPENT EXTRA TIME at our home without charging us. I'm sure he doesn't always do this (no one can- you have to make a living), but it was appreciated. Ethical, competent bad personable- well worth your attention.

Chris was able to successfully diagnose and repair an electrical safety issue that was caused by another contractor who did work on our house. It was a difficult situation that could have required cutting into many walls, but he took the time to figure out the least intrusive way to go about it. He was thorough and clearly cared about the long-term outcome for us. He was also able to complete a tricky job of separating our microwave onto a different breaker so that it wouldn't trip every time we used higher amp devices. Most importantly, you can tell that Chris cares about his quality of work and your home's electrical safety. He is our go-to electrician from now on.

He advised me very kindly that they do not do work in residential high-rises. Apologized for the confusion and refunded my money.

I purchased the promotional deal, Chris called and we set a date, and he then sent a message asking about the work needed. He also called on the day he was to do the work and told me he would be 10 minutes late. He arrived when he said. Very professional and knowledgeable, he said he’s been doing electrical work for 15 years. The quality was fine, and he tested all fixes when completed. Overall he did a great job and I would use him again.

It is hard for me to put into words exactly how thrilled we were with Chris. I knew I was going to be very happy with him from the very first call to schedule our Big Deal purchase. In our first call, I explained to him the various issues we had been having with our electrical system. Starting with a circuit that appeared to have burnt out, I told him the and quot;symptomsand quot; and he talked me through what we could expect. Then I moved on to describe an electrical issue we were having with our double-wall-oven ever since ComEd came out to fix our lines. He wisely suggested I first contact an appliance repairman, as he feared the digital board was damaged beyond repair (he was totally right, by the way!). Our call was lengthy, informative, interesting, and really gave me the sense that he was a true professional who really knew his stuff! He was nice, friendly, and extremely funny. And although we had to wait about a month to get onto his schedule, it was totally worth the wait. Chris confirmed our appointment the night before (which I appreciated) and showed up promptly at his appointed time. The consummate professional, he also brought booties to protect our newly cleaned carpets. He quickly got to work diagnosing the source of the issue, which we believed originated from negligent carpet cleaners a year prior (not the same guys who had been there that morning!). The cleaners had repeatedly tripped the circuit breaker with their equipment, and they kept going to down to flip the breaker to keep cleaning. Once they left, we found that our doorbell, our front-room outlet, our front-room overhead light, and the hall-closet light weren't working (they share a circuit). Chris worked diligently to figure it all out, and he found that the previous carpet cleaners had burned out a neutral wire in our house -- potentially risking my entire family's lives with a house fire! He took pictures so he could show us what the damage was and the risk they put us in. In just a short time, he fixed the problem and made us all safe again. The whole while, he was talking with us and explaining what he was doing (which was fascinating) so we could identify issues in the future. He took the time to give my husband an impromptu tutorial on how to use his digital multimeter (much to my husband's delight) and showed him some quick tricks to avoid an electrician call in the future. He also looked over our electrical panel and suggested a replacement -- but directed me to people on Angie's List who were offering deals to help save us money. But he gave us a full run-down on what we should ask for, what materials to request, and how to save money in order to buy up on other important materials. We took diligent notes, and we know it'll help us when it comes time to upgrade our panel. As a last example of his great service, he actually took the time and effort to try and call the negligent carpet cleaning company to give the owner an earful about the danger his crew had put us and other customers in. Unfortunately, the company has since shut down, but he did try to call and we really appreciate it. We hope we don't have any more electrical issues in our house, but if we do, we certainly know who we are going to call. We can't recommend him highly enough and hope we can drive all the business we can his way! :-)

Chris is wonderful! He is prompt, courteous, efficient, and really, really nice. He is also an amazing electrician! The installation went smooth as silk, and he takes great pride in his work. But he went above and beyond his job, showing my husband everything he was doing and taught him how to best use his multimeter for future electrical projects so that my husband could handle small jobs in the future. I can't recommend Chris highly enough. He is amazing, pure and simple!

Chris arrived on time, put up our new porch light, and took care of a few other things around our house. He was polite, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. We would definitely use Chris again for our future needs, and recommend him to our friends and neighbors.

Chris called and let me know that his arrival time would be about an hour later, which was fine with me. He diagnosed the problem and then he fixed the light and then asked me if I had any other issues that he could help with so I told him that the light switch in the vanity area was not working, so he replaced it. He did a great job and you can tell that he enjoys his job. It's a pleasure to have a provider who is so thorough and considerate. Will definitely have him back again. If I could have given him an A+ - I would have.

Chris answered the phone immediately each time I called for setting up the initial appointment and was very professional from the start. He came on time on the date we had agreed upon. He reviewed the work that needed to be done, made sure he had the necessary materials and proceeded to complete the job in a timely, courteous and professional manner, all at a fair price at the rate that was agreed upon. It is sad that prompt, fair, professional work is the exception these days, but Chris is the exception. He even pointed out a prior unsafe installation on an unrelated issue and was reachable the following day to speak to the workman who had done the job. He also followed up a week later to make sure that the unsafe installation had been addressed. This was something beyond my expectations since Chris is very busy, but it was much appreciated. I have already asked him to come back for another job and have recommended him highly to friends.

I tried to schedule a couple of different appointments with them and hadn't heard back from them. So I found someone else locally who could do the work for me.

Chris is knowledgeable, personable, and trustworthy. He genuinely cares about the work he does and I'd highly recommend him!
