From the proposal to the completion of the work, the staff at Streib were professional and very attuned to my needs in the project. They were very efficient and the quality of the work was great. We still have to have the finish electrical completed after the cabinets are installed. The bid was very specific which I believe is important so there is no confusion on the scope of work. I would recommend Streib and will use them again when I need electrical work. Remember that low bid does not always equal low price.
Description of Work: Full electric service for a kitchen remodel including subpanel, new service with underground conduit to utility pole, new panel.

The job went smoothly. The Streib employee not only installed the 4 outlets, but he cleaned up any mess he made with the materials used to install the outlets. Also, my basement is unfinished. Every once in a while, I will hire someone to perform work in the basement involving wires of some sort. Good workmanship is when the person drills s hole through every floor joist to run the wires through from the junction box to the final site. Bad workmanship is when they string the wires over air ducts or plumbing pipes or any other thing they can find and you are left with wires dangling all over and running every which way across the basement. That's why you shouldn't leave workers unattended. Always check up on them. Research online how a correct job should be done and how it should look so you can correct them if they are doing shoddy work. When the employee from Streib started work in the basement, one of the first things I heard was a drill. This meant he was going to install the wiring correctly. All the drilling indicates you are going to have a lot of debris falling down on the floor. He cleaned it all up! He was punctual, courteous, worked in a professional manner, and cleaned up the job site. Couldn't really ask for anything more than that. Plus, because he was a licensed electrician, these outlets will pass inspection if the house ever needs one. We moved to the upstairs where he checked my ceiling outlets to see if they were ready for me to install fans. He said they were. Great! I was very pleased with the work performed. I would definitely use this company again.
Description of Work: After receiving an estimate from several companies, I hired Streib to install 4 electrical outlets in my basement. I was about to install 2 ceiling fans and wanted Streib to check and see if these ceiling outlets had been prepped for fans or not. When a person hires an electrical or construction company, they should make sure the Company employees are licensed to do the work you are asking them to perform and also that the employees are bonded and insured. Licensed workers should know what they are doing. Bonded and insured means you will be protected if they damage your property in any way or if they injure themselves while on the job.

Exceptional service from Streib technician Scott Shelton. He was prompt in arrival, and he pinpointed the root causes of my electrical problems and addressed them in under an hour. He also provided advice on future maintenance without making a hard sell in the process. Scott was so courteous, he even took his shoes off before entering the house. Kudos to Streib and to Scott for earning my return business.
Description of Work: I needed a wall socket rewired, a socket replaced and a switch replaced and an estimate on a new breaker box. He was not able to replace the socket, as the house is old and he did not have the right replacement parts.

Tom Streib, the owner, was extremely helpful. Immediately he offered a couple of additional things for us to check, in an attempt to save us having to pay for a service call. Who does that????? When it was obvious it was beyond the simple fix, he asked if we could wait a day to set up an appointment. I told him that worked best for us, since we could manage fine without power in those areas for a few days if necessary. He had Jim Collins call us on Monday, and he. worked us in the very next day. It couldn't have worked out better. Jim was so pleasant and very accommodating. Then, along came Keith Martin - very professional, personable, efficient, and knowlegable. He found the problem soon after he got here. He was finished with the electrical repairs in short order. Our lighting and other power issues are resolved. We couldn't be more pleased! A big THANK YOU to Tom and Keith. Would we recomment Streib Electric - in a heartbeat!
Description of Work: Our power suddenly went out on Sunday, following an attempt to use a microwave in our kitchen. This compromised the power to the living room, and to our garage door circuitry. We reset circuit breakers, and even replaced the two that were marked as controlling those areas of the house ... no success. When I checked Angie's List, I saw that Streib Electric was on the top of the list. They are also tops on mine, now! We live in Collinsville, IL so I wasn't sure they could service our area. Turns out that they can, and did so with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. The problem was in an area we would never have thought to check, and definitely required an expert. They had us up and running again in no time. I have great confidence in their work.

It went amazingly well. I was at my parents house and they were in a panic because a tree crashed through the roof of their home during the previous night's storms. That morning the ceiling in the family room completely fell in leaving a huge mess. The insurance company could not get anyone out to the house until that afternoon. My father was concerned about a fire because we could see lots of wiring hanging down from the ceiling - no basement so everything is in the attic. My dad didn't know of an electrician so I checked Angie's list and got Strieb's information. We called the electric company but they informed me they wouldn't look at the wiring of the house. So I called Streib and they sent someone out right away. It was a big relief to have an electrician look things over and determine if it was safe to keep the electricity on that day. The man Streib sent out was very professional and helpful.
Description of Work: Made an evaluation of the home's electrical system after a tree crashed through the roof and the ceiling fell in. I can't give you what was spent for the evaluation because it all went through the insurance company.

I had a large, dark kitchen pantry, and just wanted a simple pull string light. Todd came out to do the bid, & immediately suggested a motion detector light that comes on automatically when I open my kitchen pantry door. Another company had come out to bid the same job but did not suggest this feature. It's great! I love it. Previously I had to use a flashlight to search for my spices and canned goods. In addition to the pantry light, Keith installed a new outlet in my hallway (makes it more convenient to plug in my vacuum cleaner) and a fluorescent light fixture above my new utility sink in the basement. I couldn't be happier with the work Keith did. He was here about three hours. He had to go up in the attic, pull wires through walls and ceilings. Keith was very efficient, professional, neat, & nice. UPDATE: There was a problem with the motion detector light in the pantry. It worked sporadically. Sometimes it would stay on long after closing the pantry door, when it should have gone off. Sometimes in the morning I would come out to find it had been on all night. I let it go a while but finally called them to ask about it. They were very pleasant, came out and replaced the defective light with a new one at no extra charge. They stand by their work!
Description of Work: Installed two new light fixtures and an electrical outlet.

We spent about $900 on that work. Our interaction with them went really well. We met them one day and they were able to free someone out a couple days later to get the work done when it needed to be done. They also followed up after the service was done to see if everything worked out and to arrange the billing.

I would highly recommend Strieb Electric Company for electrical home repairs! It was a great experience.
Description of Work: Had a light switch that no longer worked. Keith arrived on time, and quickly repaired the switch. While he was here, I asked him to look at a couple of other switches (in different rooms), along with a broken GFI outlet. He agreed, and repaired each item in a short period of time. He even listened to our questions about wanting to replace an existing track lighting system and a ceiling fan, and gave us his advice on how to proceed and what to buy. He was was professional, and very patient with our questions.

I called to find out our serviceman was running late. He showed up about 20 minutes after our scheduled appointment time. He explained to me what needed to be done to move both our light switch and our thermostat. He had to cut into the plaster wall to put in a new box and run new wiring for the light switch and he would need to drill holes in the wall for the thermostat wiring. I gave him the go ahead and he went to work. Not until after he cut the hole in the wall, (the hole wasn't cut squarely) did he tell me he doesn't do plaster patch work. He did clean up after himself upstairs, but not in the basement. There was sawdust and plaster residue from where he had to drill into the wood and plaster. I may use this company again, but just be more on top of what's going on.
Description of Work: Moved our light switch and moved our thermostat from near the middle of the dining room wall closer to the entryway wall. This work required him to run new wire from our basement up to the first floor. He also had to put in a new electrical box for the light switch.

I needed a simple GFCI outlet/light switch combo installed in the bathroom of a house I am selling. Streib called me back the same day to schedule the job, did the job quickly and professionally, at a reasonable cost. They were about 25 minutes later than they said they would be, but other than that, no complaints!

It went much better than we ever expected. Streib made our day.
Description of Work: We recently had 3 lights in our basement (same circuit) go out. We tried everything we knew to do and couldn't figure it out. We'd had some recent tile work done just above the lights and were afraid a nail had gone through wiring or something like that. We called 3 places and each place made it sound like it could be a very expensive repair if they needed to go through our ceiling. We chose Streib because when we called, Jim walked us through some troubleshooting things on the phone which made me feel like they cared more about a resolution for us than they did about charging us. Unfortunately, the issue did not go away so Keith came out to investigate. What we feared would be a major issue and major expense, he was able to locate in a matter of minutes (a broken neutral wire in one of the fixtures). He fixed it immediately and we were only charged the service call. We were so happy at his expertise and professionalism. From the initial phone call, to the visit, to the resolution, we are very happy. I hope we never need them again, but so glad we chose them and have them to rely on in the future. Thank you!!!!

The power outage was caused by a lighning strike to a tree close to my house. Janet answered the phone and was very helpful. Rich, the electrician, was awesome. He skillfully performed his work in spite of the heat index being 100. He quickly diagnosed the cause of the problems with the power losses. The garage door opener will need to be replaced. Rich repaired the porch light and told me what I will have to buy in order for him to repair the lamp post as they do not stock lighting fixtures. We discussed additional lighting in the home as well as updating the current electrical panel and wiring. This is the first time I have contacted Streib Electric and I was very pleased with their quick response and resolution of the problems.

They had a crew out for two days and showed up and left on time. They did a resonable job of cleaning up after themselves, but most importantly everyone was technically competent and I'm very happy with how things were completed. The visible portion of the installed wiring is neat and clean and with such a big statement of work I was impressed that every last detail was completed.
Description of Work: Contractor buried the utilities in my back yard, moved the service entrance, installed new (customer provided) breaker box and all new circuit breakers, totally re-wired the garage including installation of new lighting, installed new outdoor GFCIs, and installed a whole house wired smoke detector system.

The technician arrived, checked the circuits and discovered a wiring connection had come loose behind one outlet. He reconnected the wires and installed a new outlet. The process was complete within an hour. The technicial was professional and went immediately to diagnose the problem and effect a remedy. Based on this experience I would have no hesitation to call this company again for electrical work. One minor issue is that I was told that the tecnician would call when he was on his way. He appeared at the door without first calling. It is possible that my wife may have been on the phone when he tried to call. This is not enough to cause me to reconsider using this company.
Description of Work: I had a pair of outlets, one on each side of a wall, that lost power after my microwave popped. No breaker was off. Called Streib and the person there made several suggestions to try before they came out to be certain the problem was nothing minor that I could take care of myself. I had already tried these befrore calling. An appointment was arranged for the next morning.

I called Streib on 3/2 and explained the work I wanted done. They were very receptive to coming out and inspecting my home in order to provide a work estimate. We made an appointment for 7am on 3/4. No one showed up, no one called. I find this very unprofessional and it leads me believe that had I hired them, I would have had to hound them to complete the work.

I do apologize for your missed appointment last week, I was aware of the appointment but had misplaced all of your information. It is not our practice to treat customers like this and we pride ourselves on customer satisfaction. I understand your frustration and would like to offer you an hour of free service to hopefully earn your business and trust back. Thank you, Tom Streib

I got five bids before hiring someone and I used Angie's List for all of them. Everyone would tell us different things, but for this company the person who came out thought everything through. He knew he would have to send 2 men out to do the job. They ran into a few obstacles while they were here and kept trouble shooting until they came up with a solution at a price that we thought was reasonable. They cleaned up after themselves and I felt like I got what I paid for. I'd hire them again without a doubt.
