Highlights Chicago

After months of being ghosted or overquoted by other electricians in Chicago, finding Highlights…read moreChicago was a total game-changer. I needed several installs pendant lights, a ceiling fan, and vanity lights but most companies either dragged their feet on quotes or gave me "I don't want to do this" pricing. One competitor, Mr. Mighty Electric, quoted me 3x the rate and charged a trip fee just to look at the place! Boz (the owner) was a true professional from the start. He came out for a walkthrough the same week I called, took detailed notes, and was incredibly respectful (he even took his shoes off without being asked). He promised a quote the next day and delivered a very reasonable, detailed estimate. On installation day, Boz arrived on time with three workers, gave them a clear game plan, and specifically instructed them to minimize wall damage to save me from extra painting. The crew was fantastic they checked in with me on heights for the fan and pendants before finalizing anything. They worked for 8 hours and the result was outstanding. I was so happy with the quality that I tipped the whole crew. If you want fair pricing and high quality work, call Highlights. I'll be using them for every future project!

Highlights Chicago exceeded my expectations. They were…read moreresponsive, thorough and did what they said they were going to do. I don't reside in Chicago where I have property so communication was essential. Highlights Chicago was quick and effective in responding to my inquiries and issues. Boz patiently answered my many questions. Each phase of the job was videotaped to show me their progress. (Electrical panel replaced for six unit apartment building) It should be noted that this was no small job. I couldn't help but notice how they cleaned the work area at the end of each day. Hopefully, I won't need such a big job in the future. Just knowing that I have such a remarkable company to rely on, Highlights Chicago will certainly get my repeat business, big or small.

They showed up and resolved the issue (caused by a tenant) and they didn't even charge her! I did not hesitate to hire them for electrical and plumbing work at my house. They upgraded my panel to 200 amps, installed an electric tankless water heater, installed a 100 amp sub-panel in my garage, installed a level 2 EV charger, ran a 240V circuit for an electric stove and installed a water line connection for a fridge. They even installed an oudoor outlet and light fixture for a cat shelter at no additional charge. They are a family owned business with many years of experience, they do great work, they are very professional and they happen to be wonderful people. I can't say enough good things about them. All of that at very competitive rates. If you need electrical or plumbing work, call Sims and Sons. You won't regret it.

Best locally owned hardware store in the city. Clark Devon Hardware is one of the classics as far…read moreas hardware. It has a lot of the typical household items like bathroom fixtures and that type of stuff. Find things also for businesses. The prices are higher than other places but it's better to buy locally. A lot of history about it. It's an important part of Rogers Park and recognizable for the big clock with the wrenches. This business has been around over 100 years. Pretty impressive. While there's lots of the typical products like nuts and bolts, there's also the power tool and equipment rentals. If needing something like that and you aren't planning on using it again after that then this is where to go. The store can be hard to find things but the staff is friendly and helpful. For a locally owned hardware store it has pretty good finds. It's located at the intersection in the name of course so that helps a lot. There's all the usual household items as well as power equipment and rentals.

The slogans and jingles are memorable, and all is good and fine until you need to visit one. Let me guess, it goes something like this: You walk in looking for an item and an associate who can help you. You see someone in paint, but know they can't leave their post, so you continue looking. Aha! A person! Oh wait, that's a cardboard cutout. (This actually happened to me recently at a big box.) Finally, you find someone, and they tell you where to find the item in question. Only, the entire endeavor took way too long, meanwhile, the house is a mess while you're gallivanting the aisles. Enter Clark Devon Hardware. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted and offered assistance. Even if you are just browsing, others will ask you along the way. If you do ask for help, you will either be taken to the item or shown to a person who can help (as in, 'ask this person right over here,' who sees and waves). The team at Clark Devon is knowledgeable, kind, and no nonsense. They know you have things to do and places to be. They will be happy to help you and send you on your merry way. Clark Devon may not be the prettiest hardware store, and perhaps the big boxes may even have slightly cheaper prices (this is unconfirmed). However, it is my go-to for all hardware and home improvement needs, not only out of a desire to support a locally owned business, but because customer service counts for something too. If I am to offer one smidgen of feedback, it's that I wish they were open until later in the evening. For sometimes you come back from work and discover the closet rod has snapped in two, and you need parts to replace and fix.

Then I quit that place, and did other stuff the whole time I kept running into the same problem. Places didn't have what I needed\wanted. Or if they did I had to wait weeks to get it delivered to them or myself. Then I had an epiphany( yeah I used the "epiphany" for review for a monster tool store, so what). Anyways, I ran into some tools I needed quick and so I looked up and Grainger again and low and behold they had opened a branch on Ashland between Cermak and Archer. PLUS!!!!! Now I can get whatever I want and pick it up in a day or 2, not even have to drive sometimes. Now I can get 2 ton manual chain lifts, 3/4 wire rope slings,5/8 shackles, Tweco connectors, Caster wheels with brakes, bearings, brackets, etc the list could go on forever The one thing is you need to set up an account with them in order to place orders. The upside is you'll never be more than two days away from any shop sh!t you need to finish your project.

He texted when he was on his way, arrived right on time, and fixed the situation in less than 30 minutes.

I flirted with maybe trying to change it out as there are so many YouTube Videos making it seem easy. However when I looked for getting the motor on my own it was days or weeks away and close to $400. I called a large HVAC company that quoted $850 total for a motor. And they could come in a day. I said go ahead. Not happy but did not want to gamble in the winter with a terrible shortage of parts. they called me back 10 minutes later to say they would need and extra $50 if I wanted the work done in less then a week!! This is a company I have used and they have 50 plus service trucks! Not a small shop. So $900 for an installed electric motor! I felt I was being taken advantage of. So I looked up an authorized Armstrong service contractors. I call AT Temp and so glad I did. Louie the proud owner actually picked up between jobs. Had me text him the model number and he verified inventory. Said he could do it that day by the end of the day. There was on two motors left so he picked it up earlier in the day! Game by at 4:00 on time and installed and checked it out for $625 total all in! Brand new out of the box and as promised. So glad I found him. He is the owner and actually the one doing the work. Very impressed with professionalism. I will recommend and use for us and others. I love to support small businesses when I can. Looking at the wiring I think "What was I thinking I would do it :-)"
