MALEKOW MAINTENANCE INC

We have used MMI to upgrade our electrical at our 1924 Chicago Bungalow for the 12 years prior to our purchase of the 1896 2 flat, so we requested that the G.C. we hired for the project to bring Steven (MMI) on board as a sub. Steven worked with us from the beginning to end of the project, making suggestions that would enable us to stay within our renovation budget and working closely with the G.C. on the project to ensure that the work would proceed on schedule. The project finished on-time and within budget. Very happy with the work.

STEVE IS SO KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT OLD ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, WHAT WORKS BEST, AND ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS. HE IS AS METICULOUS IN HIS WORK AS A SURGEON, A GOOD SURGEON. HE IS EXTREMELY COURTEOUS, EXPLAINS EVERYTHING HE PLANS TO DO, HAS DONE, AND WORKS QUICKLY BUT NOT HURRIEDLY. STEVE WAS VERY HELPFUL ABOUT WHERE TO GO FOR THE BEST SHOPPING FOR OUR LARGE CEILING FAN. THE RECOMMENDATION WAS SO RIGHT-ON AFTER A LOT OF WASTED SHOPPING TIME ON OUR PART. HE RETURNS YOUR CALLS, AND TELLS YOU HONESTLY IF HE'S VERY BUSY WITH CURRENT WORK. IF HE'S VERY BUSY HE TELLS YOU OUTRIGHT, THAT IF HE HASN'T CALLED BY A CERTAIN TIME TO SET-UP A START DATE, TO CALL HIM BACK. WE'RE LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND STEVE MALEKOW, AND PLAN TO HAVE HIM COME BACK TO DO A GENERATOR HOOK-UP FOR US.

WE HAVE USED STEVE MALAKOW'S SERVICES FOR SIX YEARS NOW -- AND OVER THAT TIME HE HAS ADDED TO OUR 1924 BUNGALOW LIGHTS AND ELECTRICAL CAPABILITIES ON BOTH THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE AND GARAGE. WORK IN THE PAST HAS INCLUDED REWIRING ELECTRICAL PANEL, INSTALLING MICROWAVE, INSTALLING VARIOUS FIXTURES AND CORRECTING PRIOR OWNERS' ''DO IT YOURSELF REPAIRS''; INCLUDING BATHROOM EXHAUST FAN THAT NEEDED A VENT TO MOVE THE AIR OUT FROM THE BATHROOM; HE FOUND A WAY TO INSTALL A FRONT PORCH LIGHT WITH A TIMER THAT NECESSITATED FINDING AN ELECTRIC SOURCE THAT WAS ACCESSED THROUGH A SMALL CRAWL SPACE IN THE ATTIC. ALWAYS DEPENDABLE, ALWAYS AT A DECENT PRICE. GREAT GUY WHO GOES THE EXTRA MILE, AND ALWAYS WILLING TO DO THE JOB, NO MATTER HOW SMALL -- OR COMPLICATED. A GREAT ''PROBLEM SOLVER.''
