I had an excellent experience with Rein Electric. Anthony was quick to respond to my inquiry, answer all my questions and schedule an appointment. The tech, Kelly, arrived on time and got right to work. He was kind and courteous; he explained things to me that needed explaining and offered helpful insight and suggestions. I would 100% use Rein Electric again and would definitely recommend! Finding companies like Rein Electric is why I am an Angie's List member.
Description of Work: Replaced switches in two boxes due to two shorted out dimmers, and hung ceiling light fixture in kitchen.

This repair went very well. I am pleased. They were timely, polite and very considerate. They even cared to take precautions not to damage the plants in my garden where they were working. They thoroughly cleaned up after the work was done. Kelly and Voitec (hope I spelled correctly) were great. And Anthony was polite and responsive when he came out to give the estimate. I will definitely use this company again for any needed repairs and intend to include them in future planned remodel.
Description of Work: Secured electrical wires from pole to house. Brought things up to code and even fixed damage to roof created by previous attempts from other electrician. They installed correct diameter support pipe, correct brackets and secured all to house appropriately. They had to remove a small section of drywall to access stud for brackets and replaced the drywall to my satisfaction. They were able to raise these electrical wires much higher than where they were previously which made me feel much safer in terms of my kids playing in the backyard.

I contacted there office via email for a quote. Their office manager got right back to me with a scheduled time for Anthony to come out and look at this job. He walked around and looked at the house; we talked about the best way to handle some of the problems and he said he would get back to me the next day with a quote. That evening I received an email with an electronic version of their quote. It was not the least expensive but very fair and I really felt they understood what I wanted. I did have one question about the quote; I sent an email and received a response in less than 15 minutes. I put down a deposit and got an email the next day asking me if they could schedule me for the install date and if they could come first thing in the morning. I responded and she emailed back to confirm. The job took them two days; they were on time, they were polite, they were professional and kind to my son. The work they did was excellent. They cleaned up the site. They explained what they did to me. I couldn't have asked for any more from this company. No one really wants electrical problems but I feel 1000% better knowing that I can call them to come out and help if needed. This is what an ideal Angie's List experience looks like!

Everything turned out well. They showed on time, did the work as promised, and cleaned up after themselves. Furthermore, the fan is still working just fine several years later.

Paul arrived on time in the agreed to 2 hour time window. Paul was professional and courteous, as usual. Installed an electrical outlet next the circuit breaker panel. Also troubleshot a ceiling fan that stopped working. Diagnosed that the circuitry of the fan went bad and we need to order a new fan.

After reviewing all the positive reviews of Rein Electric I contacted them for a quote. The owner, Anthony, responded quickly and came to my house to look at the job. Within a couple days I receive the quote which I agreed to. The work was done within about 10 days (only a brief delay because it was raining and all the work was outdoors). The electrician (Kelly), owner (Anthony) and office person (Rochelle) were all wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Rein electric and plan to use them for future work.

Rein Electric is great!! I called to have them come out and give me an estimate on installation of a chandelier in my main stairwell. Kelly showed up right on time (early morning appointment too) and was extremely friendly. After looking at the area, he gave me a quote and said he could install it now! The price was just what I was expecting and the work was done quickly. Highly recommended overall and Kelly was fantastic!

Found a less expensive "A" rated electrician on Angie's List
Description of Work: Nothing. It took 2 weeks to schedule them to come over to even look at what I needed. The day they were to come out their truck broke down so they canceled. Their first hour rate is $185.00 and drops to $105.00 for subsequent hours. I should've asked this upfront (or they should've told me). These rates are not competitive with other "A" rated electricians on Angie's List

This guy was a complete jerk. Sorry but unexpected surprises happen, it's life. You thought you were upset, I had to go buy a new truck today. Suprise! Find someone else and good riddance. Biting my tongue here. We have been extremely busy and I offered him a Saturday appointment which I would of come out myself to try to keep him happy but it wasn't good enough. Glad we didn't meet, now carry on and go get pissed about something more relevant in your life.

Anthony (owner) of Rein Electric was a pleasure to work with. He understood the vision for the work I was trying to achieve and he was very clear in explaining limitations if any that would occur in the scope due to obstructions, location, etc. You can tell that they took pride in their work. Locations of switches and conduit runs were well thought out and the crew was able to answer any questions I had during the job. Best of all, Anthony knew how important it was for me to get all this work done in one day on a Saturday and he made sure that there was enough manpower to get it all done. I appreciate his follow up a day or so later to see how the job went from my point of view. I look forward to using them again in the future.
Description of Work: -Run electrical service out to sun room. -Run electrical service out to garage. -Install security & coach lights on the garage. -Install security light over the door of the sun room. -Install wireless pico switches to control lights.

Rein was able to take the job on short-notice after a different contractor left me high and dry just days before the job was supposed to start. Roofing crew had the outside decking open, so the window of opportunity to do the electrical work was immediate. Price was a bit high, but not objectionable, and the quality of work was impeccable. Crew very knowledgable, courteous, professional, and worked well with other contractors on-site. Crew stayed well after dinner-time to insure the job was 100% done and done right. Very happy with the end-product they put together. Site clean-up was pretty good (a few missed bits and what not, but a vacuum took care of that). Office communication was decent...though no one called to tell me the crew was going to be 3 hours late to the job due to storms the night before causing urgent service calls to them. Communication with crew was excellent and continuous while on-site. Certainly would recommend this provider, and use them again in the near future.
Description of Work: Installed electric service for 3 new ceiling fans in a 2.5 story vaulted-ceiling great room.

Called another AL electrician located in Chicago,who I will not name ,who couldn't come on Saturday. I was in a hurry to have the switch repaired because the light is over my kitchen table.Electrician number one gave me a boat load of reasons as to why he couldn't or shouldn't come. He even went so far as to say that Casablanca should come out to fix the fan as it might be the computer in the fan, or perhaps the conduit was bad, blah, blah, blah. I emailed Rein, they answered right away and scheduled my appointment without a problem. Kevin was prompt, professional and a nice guy. He gave me a couple of repair options and when he didn't have the correct switch he went out and got one. All around great, professional service. I highly recommend Rein Electric.

The electrician from Rein, Kelly, was prompt, kind, and efficient. He was not able to install a ceiling fan on the eletrical box in the ceiling of my kitchen, but he was clear about the reasons and my alternatives. He gave me a written estimate for several other options without any hard sell. Rein's office staff also provided friendly, efficient service. In spite of not being able to install a fan, I was very happy with Rein. I would both use them in the future and recommend to others.

Paul arrived at scheduled time with a friendly greeting ( he's done other repair work for us). Put on his shoe protectors, attentively listened to my description of the problem. In less than 10 minutes the job was satisfactorily completed, the Angie's List discount was applied to the bill. We engaged in some small talk while the check/ paperwork were being completed. Only downside- Rein Electric is so busy that I had to schedule this appointment 8 working days prior. As usual, it was worth the wait to have the job done correctly by someone who likes what they do.

The electrician arrived on time and performed the work to make the light in the shower GFI. I appreciated that he called the village inspector before he started the work to verify that what he was planning to do would satisfy village code. The electrician was pleasant and efficient. The village inspector came back yesterday and the shower light passed inspection. I will use Rein Electric in the future.
Description of Work: When I had the village come inspect my remodeled master bathroom it failed the inspection because the light in the shower was not GFI. The light had not been replaced, but when a room is remodeled everything needs to be brought up to current code. I found Rein Electric on Angie's List and called them to do the work.

Fantastic! Paul and Tomas arrived right on time and were done in less than four hours. They brought lots of drop cloths and were very careful about cleanliness and moving furniture. They even inserted drywall pieces where the fixtures had been, so that it will be easy for me to repair the areas. Very professional and friendly. Also, Anthony Rein, the president, came out to do the estimate in person. He talked me out of doing work that was not necessary. He provided his opinion about needs for the size of room, and said he would have them come back to do more work if I didn't like the results after a few days. Rochelle, from the office, also was helpful and extremely prompt. Definitely a good company to work with.

Paul did excellent work! He came on time and was extremely professional. We needed sconces installed on both sides of our bed. We also wanted dimmer switches installed as well as a dimmer switch installed by the bedroom door. He gave excellent advice about the placement of the new dimmer switches as well as advice on the type of switch we should get. He came to install the sconces and switches but, unfortunately, the dimmer switches he ordered for us had not yet arrived so he installed temporary ones. He installed both sconces and switches with minimal damage to the drywall. And, as soon as the dimmer switches came in, he came and installed them. The switch by the bedroom door was replated so that it looks like it had always been there. It's the extra little touches that make for great service. And, we didn't need a drywaller to come in after him. He did a beautiful job. We could not be happier!

We had them install cans in our living room. They recommended a custom layout so we went with their recommendation. It didn't work out to our liking but they came and fixed it to the way we wanted at no additional charge. They cleaned up, were informative and made sure we were satisfied.

It turned out okay. There was just one minor glitch, the original appointment we made, we were supposed to be getting a surge protector as part of their special and when they showed up, they didn't have the right equipment so they came back about a week later and it was a little more expensive because it ended up being two surge protectors. Other than that, the guys were good. They were in and out quick. They did what I asked them to do. It wasn't outrageously expensive. I was a little disappointed with the extra charge and the week it took, but that's okay.
