"Jamie and his crew did an excellent job replacing my electrical panel, redoing/adding kitchen circuits, adding under cabinet lights, and other details that brought my home up to code as part of my kitchen remodel. They knew the local electrical codes around Chicago and its suburbs very well (which are more stringent than most of the rest of the country). I highly recommend them for anyone requiring an electrician in the Chicagoland area."

"Fantastic. Marty got us a quote the day I called him and followed up with me the next day to make sure I got it. The other two companies I called never even called me back. Marty was quick to come out to our house (the day after we called and confirmed we'd like to move forward with Alternating Current) and get our power back. He knew that without our power we were basically homeless so did everything he could to get to us and get us back on the grid."

"This is a difficult review to write. Some of the work do​n​e by Welter Home Services was good and the handyman they sent didn't waste any time going between jobs​ on my list​. ​ The main work that was done well was installation of 2 shower grab bars​ and fixing a kitchen cabinet garbage can door that eventually broke after over 20 years of constant use. ​ Unfortunately, some of the work was ​totally un​acceptable and they do not stand by their work, even when notified within 24 hours​ of the work being completed. If they can classify it as a "repair", it's buyer beware! If it breaks again or you see something unacceptable 1 min after they pull out of your driveway, they actually expect you to PAY THEM to fix their own poor work! The work that was not at all satisfactory was the installation of weather-stripping on 2 doors and fixing a broken screw on my desk's keyboard drawer. It took 3 attempts to get the drawer (hopefully) fixed, of which I had to pay for 2 of the attempts. My front door is admittedly not the best and they did make it close easier (not on my fix-it list). However, in the process, they left such a large gap between the door and the weather-stripping that I could see sunlight coming in between the door and the frame. The handyman actually tried to tell me that I was just seeing the weatherstipping, but I guarantee you that I can tell the difference between sunlight that leaves a shadow and some light-colored weatherstripping! I have since installed some foam weatherstipping to stop the massive air leaks before the weather turns and it becomes too cold for the foam to stick properly. I ​paid t​hem almost $220​, and then had to fix it myself​! Adding insult to injury, when I called to complain about the large gap they left around my front door, the owner Kevin Welter told me twice that "he hoped I would be reasonable"! As a woman of a certain age, that sexist comment translates as "Just be a good girl and stay quiet!" Would he DARE make such a comment to one of his male customers? I will NEVER use them again - sexist or not - as I feel that anyone who does not have enough pride in their work to stand by it and fix something that is clearly unacceptable is just not trustworthy."

Exterior Lighting questions, answered by experts

In this category, homeowners provide materials. Some installers may offer advice on suitable options.

Several types of light fixtures are available, each requiring different installation techniques. Keep in mind that you’ll need to hire a lighting specialist to install the majority of these fixture types.

Here are some of the most common light fixture options:

  • Ceiling-mounted fixtures: $90–$230

  • Pendant lights: $95–$250

  • Chandeliers: $300–$2,000

  • Track lighting: $100–$250

  • Wall-mounted lights: $90–$250

  • Fluorescent lights: $85–$220

  • Light bars: $330–$440

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.

The type of lighting you choose can have a big part in the aesthetic and function of your space. Ambient lighting refers to indirect or diffused lighting that evenly reaches most areas of the space. Task lighting illuminates specific areas, such as a workspace. Accent lighting draws attention to details in your home, and decorative lighting draws attention to itself.

The majority of potential burglars are amateurs looking to make a quick buck after breaking and entering. By installing motion-sensor lights, alarm systems, and security cameras, throughout the home, there’s a good chance you will deter crime on your property.
