I've hired this company twice, at two properties, and would not hesitate to do so again. They do great work at a reasonable price and can be flexible depending on your budget and remodeling schedule. I have recommended them to friends and family and they have had positive experiences as well.

Even before I was with Angie's List, I used him. He is good. He did a major upgrade on my electric. The put a new breaker box in for me. They did a lot of other work too. It is part of the contract. They installed new circuits in the garage, new outlets, new lighting. So it was not just the breaker box but that was the main thing. All of this other stuff was add ons which the total came to $4700. There was a lot of major work that they did. They were really good.

Okay, so my husband and I are usually okay at hanging a simple light. However, we do have older home and it does have some quirks. So on a Saturday we decided to hang two lights in our kitchen. The first one seemed to go well and then we went to turn it off and it would not turn off. So it was time to call the professional. We were rather afraid that we might have done something to burn down the house! We called Don on Sunday morning. He nicely explained that it would cost us a lot more to have him out on Sunday but we were a little afraid of what we had done and we didn't want to wait until Monday. He came out on a Sunday! He fixed it all the way it should be. That was quite a load off of our mind. He was very nice and very professional.

Mr. Hutson came out for the estimate the same day I called. He was very knowledgeable in explaining the work that was necessary to upgrade our old systems. He said he would e-mail me the estimate the next day and I received it first thing the next morning. We thought the price he gave was reasonable, and after we decided what items we wanted done, I called him the next week to schedule the service. He came the following week during the time he said he would. He and an additional worker performed all the work in a reasonable amount of time. They did good work and there was no mess or damage left behind. Mr. Hutson was very professional and friendly at all times. Overall we were very satisfied with their work and would hire them for future electrical needs.
Description of Work: I hired them to do upgrade electrical work on our older home. They installed two circuits, two ground fault interrupters and replaced several outlets throughout the home.

Don was so helpful and professional. He did a great job and kept me up to date through every step of the process. This was a bit of a challenge because the property is old and I reside 2000 miles away. Don had to keep me posted on the work by phone and I really felt he was looking out for my best interest making my rental property safe and functional. Great communication , fair pricing and very honest. Don gave me great piece of mind and the job was done right!!

Don and his helper were here on time and everything went smooth. They did a very professional job and we are very well pleased with the outcome. They had everything that they needed in their trucks to do the job. They were here for a total of 7 hours. Don was a great person to work with. He explained everything that he was going to do to correct our problem. We were so glad we found him on Angie's list. We now have an electrician that we can count on.
Description of Work: Installed new riser pipe, meter socket and entrance pipe and ground rod outside. Installed inside a new 20 circuit 100 amp panel.

When I disclosed the location in South Shore, owner responded: "That is a pretty nasty neighborhood. I don't know if I would be interested in a project like that." Please be advised that this company redlines their service area.

Response from ELECTRICAL SERVICES R E INC
I have serviced the South Shore area for over 15 years--and I will continue to do so. The customer asked me to bid a 12-unit building in which all the electric had been stolen. I am a small company that would have great difficulty trying to finance the costs of handling a job this big. Had this job been in South Holland, I still would have declined. If this had been a one-to-three unit, I would have estimated this job. I am sorry the member felt I mishandled the situation on the phone. However, most of the customers for whom I actually worked are happy with my services. Don P. Hutson Owner of Electrical Services R.E. Inc.

Excellent company to work with, quoted a price, made an appointment, showed up at the appointment time, completed the work fast and reasonably priced.
Description of Work: 12/10/12 pm 1) Electrician checked the furnace and houses electrical wiring box and determined that the problem was with lose wires on the neutral in the furnace's control box. He then secured the wires and the furnace worked immediately. 2) Checked kitchen ceiling lights and determined that it was not an electrical problem but problems with the bulbs, once the bulbs were replaced the unit work as usual. 3) Reviewed a problem with an electrical ceiling heating fan in an upstairs bathroom, oiled the fan motor and the unit worked as designed.

Although I was disappointed that my simple job turned out to be more complex, I was impressed and relieved that the problems could be sorted out. The electrician explained everything that was corrected and suggested what else should be done. I felt very comfortable talking with him and asking him questions. Totally polite, professional, and he left everything in perfect condition.
Description of Work: I needed some under-the-cabinet lighting fixtures removed in preparation for some kitchen remodeling. It seemed like a straightforward job, but we discovered shoddy electrical work by whoever worked on the house previously that required both the patience of a saint to sort out and a dogged attitude toward problem-solving. I was very relieved to get the work done and to know that my kitchen is safer. I have an old house and was shown other problems that I was not aware of, but were obvious to me once they were pointed out. This wasn't a sell job -- there was no pressure to do anything, just showing me what needs attention and I really appreciated that. A few weeks later, while the remodeling was going on, I called to see if it might be possible to move the kitchen outlets. Don stopped by and took a look -- quickly ascertaining what it would entail. Although I decided against moving them, I really appreciated his responsiveness and I will definitely use Electrical Services R E for future work! In fact, I am in the process of scheduling a visit for an estimate.

I found Electrical Services R.E. on Angies List. I was able to determine that they specialized in the exact type of work that I was needing done and their reviews were impressive. I contacted them and the owner met me at the property, reviewed the project, respectfully listened to my thoughts and concerns, and offered advice and options that could save me time and money. The owner personally managed the project, resolving some serious issues with the electrical inspector to my benefit, controlling the quality of work, which was performed magnificently, and ensuring that the property was kept clean and free of construction debris. He reviewed installation procedures with me prior to construction and recommended changes during construction that not only saved time but enhanced the appearance of the property. After the electrical work was completed, he coordinated the final inspection with the building department, patched all holes and performed final cleaning which left the property as clean as it was prior to construction. I highly recommend this company.
