Mike is great. I had 4 light fixtures to remove and install. Mike also unstuck two bulbs for me. Would recommend for those small jobs.

We had a master bedroom with ceiling fan and light kit mounted in the center of the ceiling. We had Kohring Electric put in four recessed led lights to supplement the lighting. A second dimmer switch was added for the new lighting. We also had retrofit led baffles installed for some existing recessed lights in other areas of the home. Kohring's quality of work was excellent and I particularly appreciated his patience as he worked on placement of the new lights with my wife and I.

GREAT ! Very good work and dedicated to helping people in Chicago area! Main switch blew after hours. ( like always ) He tried to trouble shoot the problem over the phone and sent pictures. Service was still required and he came out immediately. Very hard working man!

Mike was very thorough in asking me all details to the entire job. There were things I didn't even consider that Mike was sure to cover. He worked late to complete the job quickly and cleaned up everything after he was finished.

Mike is great. He is always very responsive and generally picks up the phone on the first try. He follows up when he says he will and always showed up right on time. He works efficiently and does not waste time. You can tell he's well experienced by the skill with which he works and how he can quickly understand what you need done and the most effective way to do it. He always left a clean work area and managed to think through projects in a way that required the least amount of patching when finished. For instance, on one of the lights I was sure he would have to cut out some drywall to work in the wall and yet he figured out how to do the project without touching it. Lastly, I feel like his price is very fair and straightforward leaving little room for issues. While I can only speak to his work on random projects around the house and not full-blown wiring jobs - I highly recommend him. Cost below includes labor and some parts (does not include light fixtures which were bought separately).

Absolutely wonderful. He responded to my call immediately. Could not say enough good things about Mike. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and even cleaned up with his own vacuum cleaner! He had a fair, straight hourly rate, answered all our questions and completed the work in a reasonable amount of time. Definitely going to the top of my list for electricians.

From the onset of our solicitation for an estimate, Mike was very professional, courteous, and available to discuss the scope of work and schedule in an expedient time frame that worked for both parties. We agreed on a specific time to schedule the work and, true to form, Mike was here right on time. The rates and timeline for completion of the project we discussed at the beginning matched the execution of the work and final product once it was completed. We are very happy with the finished product and would happily work with Kohring Electric for any future projects or needs.
