Excellent5.0★★★★★ Based on 523 reviews fromBrian R.Brian R. ★★★★★ Darrell was great! Came out to give an estimate for installing an EV charger in my garage. Showed me my options and was at the same price point as my other estimates, but included a couple of extras the others did not. Was available to start right away and did a fast, but very thorough and professional installation. Could not be happier with the service and quality. Will use again in the future!Scott T.Scott T. ★★★★★ Had an ancient outdoor hose faucet replaced by Sims and Sons Plumbing and they were very responsive and easy to schedule with. Most follow up and scheduling communication was done with the phone line over text message, which was very convenient and organized. The price was reasonable and they stood behind their work as there was a problem initially with the replacement faucet which they quickly resolved with no hassle. Everyone who came to my home was very professional and on time.Dustin T.Dustin T. ★★★★★ Within 1 hour of calling, Carlos and Graham were able to replace four faulty breakers. Incredibly efficient and professional! The whole process from calling, performing the work and payment were a breeze. Would highly recommend!Ryan M.Ryan M. ★★★★★ 5 stars is not nearly enough. 1000% recommend Sims & Sons. We had a major issue with flickering lights and appliances not working on a Sunday and Sims responded quickly. They actually answered the phone on a Sunday!!!! They came prepared and addressed the issues competently and quickly They stayed until they were certain that we had power and it was being delivered safely. They were here well into the night due to issues with ComEd. They also followed up with all questions (many) we had the next day. Everything is running great and we will definitely be calling again if their services are ever needed in the future. It's never great to need an electrician but we are happy to have Sims and Sons on speed dial.Shayla F.Shayla F. ★★★★★ Would highly recommend Sim & Sons Electric. We worked with Darrell and he was extremely professional and informative. He came to do a quick electrical inspection in our home. What I thought was an issue ended up not being a problem and he didn't charge me and even refused when I tried to give him a tip. He was super genuine which is a such a breathe of fresh air. I will definitely be using Sims & Sons for future electrician and plumbing needs!Jillian A.Jillian A. ★★★★★ Sims & Sons were the absolute best! We gave them the tough job of installing water and gas on our room from inside our home. Ronnie and Charles showed up ready to tackle the job. It took most of the day to drill through 2 feet of roof to connect a water spigot and gas line. The work was clean, they cleaned up all debris, showed us how to work and winterize the new lines, and made great suggestions for additional outside the scope of work. We will definitely use Sims & Sons again!Cameron R.Cameron R. ★★★★★ I had a great experience with Sims & Sons. Anel arrived in the time window provided, assessed the issue and got right to fixing the problem. Much appreciated!Elizabeth K.Elizabeth K. ★★★★★ Darrell and his team were professional and provided excellent service related to an appliance installation with involved electrical work.Prices were reasonable.I highly recommend this company.We already have our next project in mind for them.Robert G.Robert G. ★★★★★ I called them up to receive an estimate for electrical work, and quickly received a response and scheduled a thorough walk-through within a day or...Katelyn D.Katelyn D. ★★★★★ It was easy to work with Sims and Sons to have dimmers installed in my condo. They were able to come out quickly to give me an estimate. Then I was scheduled an appointment for the following week to have the work completed. They were professional and worked quickly.David R.David R. ★★★★★ I called them to come solve my numerous electrical issues at a high rise - the guys gave me a great quote and we proceeded with work. Time frame was excellent and work was completed quickly. I had an electrical panel installed and numerous new circuits and lines pulled and fixed. The scope of the work ended up being much more involved than the original quote but owner honored the quote he gave me. I remodel homes and i was very satisfied with detailed explanation of each step and ability to figure out best plan of action together. The company follows current code requirements and also made all the upgrades with room to easily add more in the future. I know its hard to find qualified and reliable electricians that want do work in high rises because of all the extra steps needed dealing with the association but i was very satisfied with the quality of the job. The electrician even corrected 2 outlets that had issues in a different part of the house that were not in the original quote. I will definitely use them in the future and all my next projects that require a professional electrician services. Thank you !!!Sam B.Sam B. ★★★★★ After being snubbed by an electrician on Thumbtack (do not recommend) I found Sims and Sons on Google, and they were very responsive; got out here to do a walkthrough, gave me a quote and were able to come out right after Thanksgiving.Definitely next level service: Darrell and Dylan came out and got right to work. Even with extra complications from the age of my building and having to do a lot more work than anticipated, they were jovial, funny and enjoyable to be around and took the time to explain what they were doing.I had a 240-line run from my electrical panel across my house to my laundry closet to install a new electric dryer, another 240 run to my range to replace my gas stove, and an outlet installed in the bathroom for a bidet.They were so polite and cleaned up my place after everything - I mean swept, mopped, wiped down every surface that had any dust and left my place cleaner than it was before.js_loader
