They did a good job. I had them install a nice lighting fixture and put a temporary fixture in place for a neon light. I'd use them again because the price was great and the work has held up fine. He was very professional and easy to work with, too

Chris contacted me through email and phone to set up an appointment suitable to both of us. He spent at least a half hour on the phone trying to assess the situation and determine the cheapest solution (yet code compatible). He was extremely professional and tried to minimize the time on the job necessary. I was pleased with his work even though the solution turned out to be trivial.

There was some confusion as to the arrival time, but that was probably both our errors- we never confirmed time when the date was changed, and I figured it was the same time. He had also told me various theories on why the ceiling fan light (the fan worked great) was out.
First job was to find the electric source in the kitchen. Chris was very nice, but did a lot of talking using electric jargon that I didn't understand. Eventually, he told me there was something that was bad in the kitchen (forgot the name). He had one in the truck' cost me $25.
The part that sort of upset me was the ceiling fan. He made it a point of telling me how hard he had gotten shocked from it while taking it apart . I was a little surprised that an electric source was not turned off before working on it? Aside from that, the theories he had gone over on the phone did not apply to the light on my ceiling fan at all, and it was deemed not fixable. But the part that annoyed me was that he also broke the fan, so, regardless of whether or not I was going to replace the whole thing, I no longer had a fan that worked, which was a crucial part of my comfort in my place.
I am just not sure I would rehire him. Nice guy, but I was not 100% confident in him after really assessing everything.
Response from Quality Residential Electric Inc

"Well, we did change the date at your request. Without first seeing an electrical device - it is near impossible to diagnose correctly. The jargon was based on your many questions that we tried to answer, and yes, I really like what I do - but strive for brevity. It is unfortunate, and assure you no electrician likes to get shocked while working live- especially when amps are involved as they were in your case. However, they will be equally quick to say it is often necessary to determine the root of the problem. In your case, the light kit on your fan stopped working because an amp regulator did its job - preventing a fire. We tried to explain how the previous owners put too high a watt bulbs in, we had no other way of checking. We did inform you prior, that the control wiring trouble-shoot may shut down the entire fan. You said it was very old, and would just get a new one, thats were we left off. We replaced all the ceiling fixtures in your kitchen and one defective GFCI that was prohibiting others from energizing, sorry you were not 100% satisfied - perhaps you will give us another chance in the future."

Chris was great, punctual and very easy to work with. He did exactly what was asked and was very friendly the entire time. He was great to work with.
I would love to have him back to fix some other items, but the budget dollars are just not there at the moment.
He is highly recommended.
Response from Quality Residential Electric Inc

"Thank you for the nice review, wish we did bathrooms - but our scope, license and Insurance is limited to Electrical and residential garage doors. Look forward to hearing from you when the budget opens back up however."

When the owner contacted me to set up an appointment it was 3 weeks in the future. I scheduled the appointment. I needed the work done fast and could not wait. another electrician did the work. I sent the cancellation thru Angie's list around 7-30-14 and then called the owner of Handyman and Sons on 8-2 to confirm he received the cancellation and he said yes he did. As of today I have not received a refund. 8-6-14
Response from Quality Residential Electric Inc

"Im sorry we could not provide quicker service, not sure why that qualified us for a D. We were scheduling out before we joined Angies List - that turned out to be our greatest asset to date. However, most folks understand that a Licensed and Insured - dedicated Electrician is sometimes worth waiting a little for, to expect a quality job- the first time. We are working long 7 day workweeks to keep up with demand, perhaps we can be of future service to you."

Chris was very competent/expert.  He came on a Sunday because the previous apt. was postponed due to an emergency with another long-standing client.   He is booked well ahead.  I would definitely have him again.  He explained the advantages of LED lighting over incandescent and other types of bulbs.
Response from Quality Residential Electric Inc

"Im sorry we were detained on a prior call, the customer had lost most power and a main Service entrance Neutral. We had to deem that an emergency and make the call that I rarely have to make. We are glad that you were satisfied however, and thank you for the nice review."

Chris did a fabulous job adding a concrete ramp to our car port.  He arrived exactly when he said he would, worked efficiently and strategically and solved our original problem.  He did a really nice job.  We not only love the ease of having the ramp, but love the way it looks too.

Chris was the epitome of service. In addition to doing what he was contracted for he also put a new cover on an outside outlet and, , believe it or not, adjusted my overhead garage door. He and his son worked very well together and I would hire them again without a doubt. I wish he could do ceramic tile as I would have him remodel my bathroom!!
Response from Quality Residential Electric Inc

"Thank you so much for the positive feedback, it really helps offset people like the one that I told you that I was in route to after yours in Mattson - who was not only absent from our scheduled appointment time, but wrote a bad review to boot. Reviews like yours sincerely help keep a positive attitude flowing, where all the hard work and dedication that I put into my company could go un-noticed, folks like yourself shore it back up. I genuinely appreciate it, and wish I had more hours in my day to quickly respond to every review."

"Actually [removed member name], I had tried to schedule you on the only day I was close to you, you declined, that day that was only 23 days out, so Im not sure why you are saying I never called you."

I left a message for him and then he called me back. We set up three different dates that would work for me and he was unable to perform the work. He gave me three dates that worked for him but I was unable to work around it. Chris, who I was in contact with, was nice, but we were unable to schedule a date that worked for the both of us.
Response from Quality Residential Electric Inc

"Good Morning [member name remove], I was at your house last night for our SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT, AT OUR appointment time. I called you from YOUR DRIVEWAY - AT OUR APPOINTMENT TIME - this after a full scheduled day of 3 previous appointments, - ONE BEING in Frankfort - JUST MINUTES from the address you gave me in Mattson - that i confirmed just the night before. The close proximity to your house was no accident. When I called you, FROM YOUR DRIVEWAY - you said "This is my bingo night, and I dont miss it for anything" . I guess the appointment I JUST CONFIRMED less then 24 hours before, had slipped your mind? Its a shame I do not have more time to respond to people like you, who have such a profound lack of respect for me, my company, or its' reputation. Moreover, I lack the ability to upload my phone records and the conversations we had. I can say you missed out on one of the most dedicated contractors you will ever run across, your loss - not mine."

Purchased Deal. Someone named Chris emailed back and asked for a number to reach for scheduling. Emailed him back with 2 different numbers. After two days no calls or even email stating he tried to call. That said, I'm not upset with Handyman as much as I am with Angie's List; paying up front for services not yet performed. So...why did I join Angie's List?
Response from Quality Residential Electric Inc

"I will have to own this one 100%. I apologize for the delay, I am now asking the members to also identify the latest I can call them, some have been responding - as late as 11pm. Though it is no excuse, it has been busier then it has in many years, it's a positive sign for the economy, but not in this instance, this was on me, again, Im very sorry you had a bad experience."

I did not use their service since I no longer needed electrical work to be done. They were helpful otherwise.
Response from Quality Residential Electric Inc

"Well, when you called me, you asked if I do Plumbing. Since my expertise is limited to electrical and residential garage door work, I responded no, and recommended a plumber. If you have - or, had electrical work to be performed, you never mentioned it. sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused you."

Everything went great. Chris showed up on time and finished more projects than I anticipated. After a minor issue with one project, he came back a few days later to fix the issue and made sure everything was 100% perfect.

Chris and his son showed up, gave a fair and accurate assessment of the situation and what it would take to do the work. He got straight to work and stayed on task until the job was done (about 4 hours). As he opened the drywall he noticed a couple of wiring anomalies which he assessed and recommended the corrective steps and what it would cost, then he took care of the problems. He then cleaned up all his mess and left. I plan to use Chris and sons again very soon.

Hanging two ceiling chandeliers. One went up without incident.
For the second, the existing light fixture was taken down. The replacement chandelier is older and apparently had a wiring issue and would not work. So the existing light fixture was put back. But that one did not work, although it is practically new. The 2-hour windows was closed at that point so the chandelier is not up (for obvious reasons), the original light is not there any longer, and now there is a make-shift light bulb in its place until I deal with it.
The service and communication itself was good- thus the overall high rating- but I can't say I came away totally satisfied in that my one lighting fixture is worse off now than before.
Response from Quality Residential Electric Inc

"Im sorry I did not leave 100% satisfied, I did however explain that your valued passed down family chandelier had developed a short in one of the arms leading to a socket. If memory serves correctly, I was able to trace it to a hot. Unfortunately, electricians can't perform every function of electrical work, the precise tools needed to rework the wires are specific to a handful of lighting shops. I had a recent customer have luck with one said shop in Elmhurst, please feel free to call me, and I can get their number for you - even if you don't use me to re-install it, I would like to see you be able to rehang it - working Safely."

Chris was definitely worth the wait! He is very professional and down to earth. He did things properly and not just to and quot;get the job doneand quot; as others would. He thoroughly looked at what needed to be done and told me exactly what to expect. I am very satisfied and have made an appointment for him to install a garage door and a few more outlets. I highly recommend him.

Very professional, prompt, friendly and reasonably priced. He specializes in electrical and garage door work.
Response from Quality Residential Electric Inc

"Good evening [member name removed], thank you for positive review, I have NOT forgot about your green outdoor lighting replacements. I am on my 7th outdoor lighting vendor, and my 19th - non-returned vendor call. I assume we are at their peek, but I will find a match, and currently have a good lead from a California vendor - though not an item she stocks, she was nice enough to forwarded me to one that might."
