T&D Electrical is an experienced contractor that provides electrical services at reasonable prices to the Chicagoland area. From new construction commercial and industrial installations to rewiring your home we offer a wide range of services. At T&D Electrical quality and professionalism is our first priority.

"T&D did good work, but were wildly off on their estimation for the project. They went from one of the lowest estimates I received to the highest by far by the time the project was done. And because I requested an addition to the scope (that took less than 4 hrs to complete), it gave them to freedom to charge me 8+ hrs over the estimation. They also 'accidentally' billed me for an extra $1000 of materials. All in all, went from a great experience to pretty bad one. I won't be using them again. If you choose to, just know their estimates don't mean much."

Wilshore Electric currently has 5 employees. Both owners are hands on and part of the day to day activities including estimating and installing. Both of us and our foreman have 25+ years experience. All payments are due upon completion of our work. Generally we send an invoice within a few weeks of completing work. For some smaller projects we will issue a bill at time of service. Messages left at our office number may not be returned until the following business day. Don't forget to look for our coupon!

"I called Wilshore. They were prompt and professional. They removed the old, burned out line and fished new lines (an additional neutral line to enable future home automation switches). This is the kind of business I love to find on Angie’s. Owner’s are involved in the delivery of service and are proud of their professionalism. They were a great find!"

Free estimates for all types of wall products, natural stones and brick paving work for outdoor kitchens, living areas, grill enclosure, fire pits, all types of hardscapes, brick driveways, brick patios, walks, retaining walls, seat walls, pillars, steps, and lightning. Our sister companies are 3D Concrete Designs, Choice Cut landscaping and 3D snow removal. We only use subcontractors for Asphalt, Carpentry, Water features and Ponds, Gas lines installations and Sprinkler systems. Which the homeowner can deal with them directly or thru us, we "DO NOT" add any extra charges to their prices. In case of any emergencies, you can call Mike D'Aiello the owner of 3D Brick Paving on his cell, day, night or weekends. 847-417-5510

"$27,000 of damage done by 3D Paving! 3D installed a paver patio with stairs at our house 11 years ago. They failed to use a waterproof membrane in between the paver stairs and the side of our house. Moisture has seeped in as a result causing our brick wall to crumble. We had 2 brick repair companies and a waterproofing company come out to diagnose the problem and they said it was because the company who installed the stairs didn't put in the membrane. The stairs and bricks need to be replaced and the membrane that was supposed to be used needs to be installed. 3D does not take responsibility for this. The patio is also coming up at the edges in some parts and sinking in other parts. I caution you to not use 3D. The work will look good for a few years but not in the long run and they will cause huge problems to your house because they don't install properly. They will not take responsibility for their mistakes and poor workmanship. "

Cost Is Determined By The Job. No Travel Charges. No Service Fees. No Extra Charge For After-Hours Service. No Extra Charge For Weekends. 1 Year Warranty on All Labor and Material.

"Bravo Electric and Jack Blazejewski, the owner was highly recommended by family members. Jack came early morning after I called about my home losing half its power. He explained the problem was with the circuit brakers as the source and repaired it immediately. I was then able to have a new central air conditioner installed the same week. He also recommended replacing an older circuit breaker panel box, itemizing the cost (which was reasonable compared to other quotes) and the installation time. I am pleased that Bravo completed this project in its entirety. His initial visit was not a separate charge. Jack also came back to replace non-working bathroom outlets and a wall switch for a ceiling light fixture. Jack is a genius level electrician with an upbeat personality. I highly recommend Bravo Electric for all electrical needs."

"Current Electrical Contractors did an excellent job for us, below budget, on time, with smart, competent, conscientiously neat, and very personable staff, who offered advice, answered all of our questions, and left us with a house that is electrically sound for the 21st century. They replaced our 100-amp 75-year old panel with a 200 amp panel, which will accommodate future installation of an EV charger and a fully electric stove when desired. They logically re-organized and re-balanced our circuitry, with appropriate re-wiring as needed. They installed GFCI outlets where needed. Our garage is now PHEV capable. Our kitchen now has dedicated circuits and GFCI outlets. We had an inoperative kitchen ceiling exhaust fan that runs again after many years. Our inoperative drawstring closet lights all activate by motion now. And the lighting in our basement is bright enough now to cure my SAD. To summarize, we’re very happy. We highly recommend Current Electrical Contractors."

Your garden will be designed by an award winning Master Gardener. Maureen Taylor has a degree in Horticulture and Landscape Design. She is a board member of the Landscape Design Associates and an active member of Midwest Ecological Landscapers Association and Illinois Landscape Contractors Association. Maureen is a proud community gardener and has started several community gardens the Old Irving Park neighborhood of Chicago where she lives. In 2007 she won first place in the prestigious Mayor Daley's Landscape Award for her own backyard. One of her community gardens won second place. Please visit my picture sharing site for pictures of some of my recent projects: http://taylormadelandscapedesign.shutterfly.com/ Please visit my website: http://www.taylormadelandscapedesign.com/index.htm

"I found out about this business through several local neighborhood chat groups. I have had nothing but the best rapport, support, design and install from Maureen and her team. They undertook a huge front and back yard project. We completed relandscaped the front of my 115 year old bungalow with a lush perennial garden (and added in some of my mature plants from elsewhere on the property). We carved out two huge new beds and they are chock full of plants I love. We did a complete gut of my hard scape in the rear yard, created a beautiful walkway and patio for my new pergola and a second for my dining table and relandscaped the entire backyard and expanded a huge sun loving perennial bed and added trees and some landscape lighting and a shade bed too. Simply stunning!"

Exterior Lighting questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on fixture type, wiring complexity, and additional features like timers or motion sensors.

Local building codes typically require conduit around exterior wiring. Conduit protects the wire from moisture, extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and harsh weather conditions to prolong its lifespan. When a wire is worn out, it can be dangerous as the risk of electric shock or fire increases.

Most commercial projects take 3-7 days, including curing time, depending on size and weather conditions.

Options include pathway lights, spotlights, and smart lighting systems. Choose based on function and aesthetics.

While wet-rated and damp-rated lighting is designed to handle contact with moisture, there’s a difference between the two. Wet-rated lighting is safety-rated to be placed in areas with direct exposure to water, including your shower. Fixtures classed as wet-rated are made with waterproof seals to protect the filament and other electrical components from water and moisture. 

Damp-rated fixtures can be used in places with some moisture contact, but not direct exposure. They don’t have the same waterproof seals used in wet-rated fixtures. Damp-rated lighting can be used on your bathroom ceiling or along a wall outside of your shower.
