Sayers Electric is outstanding. Michael and Dominick are the best in the business. They are responsive, flexible, professional, and thorough, and their pricing is always fair. I have hired them for multiple jobs over the years and every time the service has been excellent. Most recently, they completely rewired the main panel in my guest house and ran a 30-amp outlet nearly 100 feet to the end of the driveway to power our RV. The timing was tricky since it had to be coordinated with the paving company redoing the drive. When the paving crew called to say they could start six weeks early, Michael jumped through hoops to make it happen. In just two days he gave me a great estimate, scheduled everything, and completed the job perfectly. The coordination and execution were seamless. Michael and Dominick are always on point and make the process easy. They are the first call I make anytime I need electrical work. I could not recommend them more highly. You will not go wrong hiring them. read more

We have hired Mike on multiple occasions. We are repeat customers. He's simply the best electrician in our area. He's always busy (which is a good thing) but is worth the couple of days wait to have him do your job. If you're in the NW burbs, don't bother getting quotes and "calling around". Just call Mike, know you are getting good work for a fair price, and be done with it. read more

What started with a few partial outages at our house grew to multiple partial outages per day. I got ComEd to roll a truck after dark and the lineman said the meter box/raceway was scary bad and needed to be replaced ASAP. He wouldn't even put the cover back on. He said, "If you hear popping or a loud boom, call 911 and have them cut the power to your house." Terrific...short night of fitful sleep last night. First thing the next day, Mike responded to my voicemail. He understood the issue, & had dealt with it before. Unfortunately, he was booked and it was supposed to rain the next day. He asked his other client if he could swap my job for his, delaying his other customer's work. His customer graciously agreed. Top shelf work: accurate, neat, honest, and complete. He fixed even unforeseen problems that came up. Honest guy, personable, explained what was going on. I'm delighted & will hire him for anything inside the house I can't handle. I'm delighted to write a review; he's a professional and I'm grateful we had him do the work. read more

Micheal was the electrician who was suppose to finish our home over the summer. Let's start off with the no show but did call that he pulled on my mother a couple of times over the summer, stating he'll be there a certain time having her take the day off work just so he never shows. Moving on to the excuses, he brought every excuse on the book every time he wouldn't finish a job or unable to do a job. From we just changed management to +5 new people, to I don't have enough workers, it's summer and my workers are on vacation, i don't have the proper gear, I got called into a another home, had to finish this other job at this other home, too far away, we're trying to finish a bunch of other homes. I could go on forever. But what's really bothering me is that he left basically half the home with out electricity. We've been using extension chords across rooms for almost 6 months now. I trusted him as he gave me his company's info (how I'm here) his phone number, name and all stating that we WILL finish the job. Well, it's winter now Michael, and whats the excuse now? Too cold or too much snow? To top things off, he disconnected the number he had given me. So no way to contact him now. THANKS A LOT MIKE! read more

I need a cable jack installed in my home office. I found Sayers Electrical Service on Yelp. Mike showed up at our appointed time and did an inspection. He installed the cable jack and cleaned up as he went. Very friendly and professional! Once I received the cable box there was one minor issue which Mike came over to fix the next day without charging me an additional fee. Also was able to pay him with Zelle. Super convenient! Highly recommended. read more

I had a bit of an issue at my townhouse affecting my dryer. I somehow found my way to Michael. We talked on the phone about the problem. He got out to the townhouse the next morning and fixed the issue straight away. Turns out one of the wires of 220 pair was fried. My words, not his. He was so great to work with and handled the whole situation professionally. Well done and thank you Michael! read more

Mike was awesome! Responsive, cordial and highly professional. Had a last minute need and he fit me in to his schedule. Was done in less time than expected and did not gouge me for the last minute scheduling. To boot, just a good person. Would highly recommend and will use again! read more

Mike was great! called him on an early Saturday morning to fix a faulty smoke detector. Not only did he fit me in, he let me know the approximate timehe would be there...and he was there! He was efficient, professional and I believe reasonable...thanks again! Carol read more

There are no words to explain how wonderful Mike was. We had an emergency with our parents where their cables got disconnected from their home causing them to have no heat or power before a big snow storm that is supposed to be coming our way. We called him and he was at their home within what felt like minutes and got everything fixed. Saved his info for the future and can not recommend him enough. So easy to work with and explained everything. read more

This review is long overdue, and I apologize to Mike for not writing it sooner! Almost a year and a half ago my 89-year-old father, who lives in Illinois, called me in Michigan on a Sunday night to tell me that his furnace wasn't working. it was early January so it was very cold, and he told me that his house was uncomfortable. Being 200 miles away from my father makes calls like this especially difficult, and I was starting to panic trying to figure out what could be done! I was extremely fortunate to find Sayers Electrical Service on Yelp. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive, and all of the good comments about Mike convinced me to give him a call. Mike told me he would go check out the problem, and was at my father's house within the hour. He quickly found the problem and was able to come up with a temporary solution. He returned a few days later to address the electrical problem that was being caused by a space heater my father was using. Mike also told me that we needed to replace the breaker box because it was not up to code; he did that job for my dad also. His prices have always been reasonable, and his work has always been excellent. On other occasions when my father called me to report that something was wrong with his furnace, Mike went to investigate, regardless of whether it was on a weekend or after 5 PM. It has given me real peace of mind to know that Mike will be available to check on my father with one phone call. Mike is a genuinely nice guy! He is honest, highly dependable, compassionate, and an excellent electrician who is very reasonably priced! I know for sure that I will be calling him again, and that he will take care of all of my father's electrical jobs. read more

This review is long overdue, but I gotta say Mike was awesome! He agreed to come out on a Sunday morning to address a few issues. We had a nasty snow storm that Sunday morning and Mike was right on time. After swapping out a ceiling box, crawling around a dusty old attic, changing a few switches and installing a new ceiling fan; the job was done and Mike was on his way. Pricing was very reasonable, considerably cheaper than I was quoted by other companies and the fact that he did all of this in the middle of a snow storm was just great! Would highly recommend and will use again for any jobs that crop up. Thanks Mike! read more

Mike was great. He was able to come out in short notice on a Saturday to help us out. He was very professional and personable. We would recommend him to anybody. read more

Great job, fair price, timely and professional. So happy with Sayers. I would highly recommend and use again.

I'm sorry I cannot agree with the other reviews. Mike did not do what he said he would do for the price quoted. He had many excuses for not doing the work we agreed on. He stated he never charges more than the price he quoted and proceeded to charge me $50 more than he quoted. I would not use him again or recommend him to others. read more

So happy with Sayers. I called with a small project and they got back to me within 15 minutes and scheduled service for the next day. He was here 5 minutes early and had the work done quickly and kept the area nice and clean. I will definitely be using him for any upcoming work. Thank you! read more

The day the renters moved in there was a short in kitchen. Called Mike, came right out, researched the problem immediately and fixed it. I was glad I had a quality electrican who could fix bad wiring from a previous "handiman" as it was actually dangerous. I recommend Mike to anyone. Teresa read more

Mike and Dominic showed up on a Saturday morning. I appreciated both for coming to the house on a weekend. I had three electrical issues that they solved in quick order (under an hour), which impressed me and gave me confidence in them. I have never used their services before but found them on yelp and I wanted to support a local business. They were very courteous, friendly and professional. The bill was very fair and actually less than I expected. My wife was very pleased as well. If the wife is happy, I'm happy. I am glad we went with Sayers and will use them again in the future. I understand now why Mike gets 5 stars on yelp. read more

Excellent work. Diagnosed the problem right away. Did repairs at great price. Local company.

Michael responded to our call and was able to get our small electrical problem on his schedule quickly. We are new customers and would definitely use Sayers Electrical Services again. read more

Found Sayers Electrical Service on the internet and checked out reviews on Yelp. My folks had a small problem and the service and price were exceptional. I highly recommend Sayers for your needs and problems. read more

Mike Sayers is dishonest. We have a pending project that he signed a contract in 2016 and it is still not done. Repeatedly blew us off. Maybe he can only handle small handy man type/scope jobs. Changing the wiring for a building or a house is not his forte. Does not have the personnel nor the inclination to get his job done on time. read more

How does this guy have so many five star reviews? I had him install three ceiling lights and replace two existing lights on the wall. 1. $800 for about 3.5 hours of work. I had bought the lights. He only used some cable of his own. I doubt the cable was worth hundreds of dollars. He literally charged me $250 per hour of labor. 2. He cut a huge hole in one of my walls, and left me to fix it. 3. Every other word that came out of his mouth was a curse word. He even started talking about nasty stuff while my wife and kids were around. I will never hire this guy again. I recommend you look somewhere else too. This was a terrible experience for me. read more

Mike did a great job for me. I needed an outdoor outlet upgraded for front step heating mats, some outlets switched out & and lamps repaired. I found Mike on Yelp. He was "Johnny on the spot"! He got out here within a couple of days & got it all done for me in this old house with old house problems without a hitch! He hits the ground running (almost literally) and gets the job done in a flash, cleans up after himself, charges reasonable rates & he's out. Plus he's a fun guy! You won't go wrong with him. read more

Mike from Sayers Electrical Service is so awesome. I called him and he was able to make it to my house the same day! He identified the problem and fixed it very quickly. He is also very nice. He has won me over as a customer. I highly recommend Mike from Sayers Electrical Service. read more

I had an electrical problem, wires shorting out. I called Michael on a Saturday just to set up an appointment. He came out that day!! Totally unexpected. He came by, diagnosed the problems and repaired them promptly. Price was very reasonable. Thumbs up on Sayers Electrical Services!! read more

Michael and his team did a great job. They installed can lighting and a ceiling fan in my kitchen, new light sockets in two closets. Michael had to work through the electrical challenges that I have with my home i.e. fixer upper issues. They were on punctual, polite, and knew their trade well. Highly recommend them. read more

So we had a bit of an electrical problem that wiped out some of the power to our house. This happened around 7pm. They got the call and were there by 8pm. Mike was extremely knowledgeable and had the power restored within 10 minutes. Extremely friendly, even more professional. I would absolutely recommend Sayers Electrical company to anyone in need of a fantastic electrician. read more

There are good people on this earth and Mike is one of them! Out of no where, we lost power in the the entire house. I tried resetting the circuit breakers to no avail. The sun was setting and I knew I had to get help quickly. I called one company who was going charge $280 just to walk through the door.. Sayers Electric suddenly stood out to me based on the FIVE STAR REVIEWS! Mike answered the phone right away and within 20 minutes and a few texting picture exchanges of the fuse box, etc., Mike diagnosed the issue, walked me through step by step and our power came on. We wanted to send Mike a check but he refused - he said he loves what he does - has been an electrician for 30 years and really enjoys helping people. That could not be more apparent! Thank you for your help, Mike and we will be calling you for all our electrical needs and referring you to all our friends. Thank you again for your knowledge AND KINDNESS! read more

We really tested the diagnostic capabilities of the Sayers team over Christmas. We realized we had an intermittent short somewhere and did some preliminary diagnostic work ourselves to figure out it was not an emergency but something that needed to be looked at. We also realized we needed professional help. We called Mike just after Christmas and set a time a couple of days later. On that morning he was an hour or so overdue when I called and found he had gone to help a lady with young children and no power. I think it is good to know if you are in a situation like the lady with no power Mike will fit you in. He arrived to us quite soon after and his partner soon after that. The two of them started tracing the wiring from the panel to figure out where the circuits went. They took off covers from box after box to follow the wiring colours and conduit through multiway circuits getting progressively more perplexed as everything checked out. All of this was done with a lot of it live and with an audience of curious onlookers asking stupid questions that were answered very politely. Eventually by a process of elimination it turned out that an outlet socket pair had been replaced where there happened to be two circuits using it. The replaced outlet was installed as from the store without breaking the connection between the two sides. This only became active when a certain combination of multiway switches was activated. That would have been OK but the two live feeds to the same box happened to come from different phases so there was a 240v differential created that was blowing the breaker. This took the two of them about 2.5 hours to find but in that time they had effectively mapped the entire contents of the wiring for most of the ground floor. I was really quite impressed that they got there. It was a very tricky problem to diagnose with the number of circuits and switches involved and all of it hidden in the walls.. They tidied up everything perfectly before they left and billed us at an hourly rate that was quite reasonable. It cost more than we bargained for but the work needed was much more than anticipated. I would use them again. They were quite professional but also fun to interact with and as I mentioned before coped with a lot of I am sure unhelpful suggestions. read more

We had tried a few electricians and quite frankly, they were very over-priced and didn't do a solid job. Then we reached out to Mike and Sayers electric. Mike was very honest about options and suggested some cost effective alternatives. His pricing was very reasonable and when his team completed the job (installation of electrical outlets and lights in our basement and moving a few light fixtures), they were timely and very professional. I couldn't be more happy with the job Mike and his team did. read more

It's good to know that there are still some old school tradesman like Mike out there. A vent cleaning company blew one of my breakers with their equipment and we found Mike on yelp. After I read the reviews I told the vent cleaning company to call him so he could repair the breaker. Mike showed up within 90 minutes, got the work done immediately, and even changed an outlet and a light bulb that I gave up on because of it's location. We discussed the condition of my breaker box and he said he could replace it. Because our schedules didn't align perfectly he agreed to come over very early in the morning on a Saturday to perform the work. He estimated it would take 5 hours and he was done in 3. He's prompt, honest, and performs great work at a fair price. In addition to all of this, he's very funny and respectful of your home. If it was later in the day I would have offered him a beer but most people don't start drinking before 10am. read more
