“Tom is a terrific electrician. He's done two projects at my house. He listens, walks me through what he'd suggest (if in any way different from what I'd requested), points out during the process any unforseen circumstances and how he's addressing them, and does excellent work. He's clearly expert and doesn't cut corners. His pricing is also more than fair. He is definitely dependable and much more.”

“I met Tom while repairing some appliances for him a couple of years ago. My current electrician had recently retired and I was looking for a new electrician I could refer people to. Glad I found Tom because 2 years and dozens of referrals later and I’ve had tremendously positive feedback about his work. Glad to have a guy like Tom around.”

“We were referred to Tom by our appliance repair tech to help with a dishwasher not getting any power. He spent a few hours rooting out the issue, bringing a few things up to code that needed it, and had everything up and running before the afternoon was over. The cost for the repair was more than reasonable and Tom was respectful of our house, making sure everything went back together the way it started. Highly recommended.”

If you have kids who know how to turn on the fan but never shut it off - you know what I mean. He was personable and by far the cleanest contractor we’ve ever invited into our home. Absolutely no question who I’d recommend for an electrical repair!”

Tom came by to make an assessment of the project, provided a cost estimate and timeline; we were able to schedule a Saturday appointment. He was responsive; communication was great. When he arrived, he had all necessary equipment and hardware. The project turned out to be a bit more complex than originally thought due to prior work (over 20 yrs ago). Tom took care of everything. The work was excellent. He was completely professional. His rates were fair. And...much to my wife's pleasure, he cleaned up the work space when he was done. Tom's great to work with. Highly recommended!”

“Great experience. We needed an electrician to replace a ceiling fixture and repair a bad switch/outlet and used Yelp because we didn’t know anyone in the area.

I’m glad to recommend him and expect we’ll be using him again for other electrical needs.”

“Hello, I just wanted to share my recent experience. In the process of the house, renovation I had a hard time finding a reliable and reasonable electrician to install recess lighting, change the wiring, and install new switches around the house.

“We just had Tom out to our house for the third time in two years. This visit was to replace three ceiling fans with LED lights. Last year was replacement of all of our outdoor lights. He is very meticulous with his work and I always appreciate his suggestions to make my house more automated; lights and fan timers etc. He also leaves the space as he found it,...clean. Highly recommend.“

“Tom did a retro-fitting of a light fixture at the front entrance to my house. He also re-insulated the cloth wires and got us an LED bulb in there for better reliability. He then consulted the basement electrical and discussed some major wire remediation of the outdated stuff that would take a few days of labor. He was honest with me and did not over-sell more work. The work was done in a timely manner and he was respectful of my home. When the time comes to do additional work, I will not hesitate to contact him again.”

“I’ve hired Tom several times. He's an experienced, knowledgable, professional. Unlicensed electricians or handymen can do some of the work. They may cut corners or not know some of the finer points. One thing I really like about Tom is that he truly cares. I’ve been with him while he works and he tells me what’s wrong. Tom does everything to code. He always answers all my questions. If he’s running late, he will let you know. He’s a great guy.”

“Everything went great. His estimate for materials was very accurate and he did not overcharge for the time he spent picking up additional materials that were needed when he found several code issues that the inspector missed that could have led to life safety issues. (We were providing a warranty on the house for a year after the sale) After we reached agreement on the additional work, these additional issues were repaired quickly, allowing us to close the sale on time. I would recommend him to anyone.”

“Tom was very prompt to call back and schedule his first available appointment, I called Wednesday afternoon and we scheduled for Friday morning.

Very pleased and would recommend his business.”

“The first thing I noticed after calling Tom to set up an appointment is he called me back. Some electricians won’t even bother. The first time he came, he fixed the switch in one of our bathrooms since the light would not work. I called about a week later to have him replace the switches in two bathrooms and the GFI’s. I asked if he could do the work on a certain day this week and he made the appointment for the day I requested. He is neat, courteous, and friendly. He even climbed up on the bathroom counter to get a dust spider on the ceiling for me the first time he was here. I highly recommend him.”

Tom was prompt to return phone calls and answer questions and concerns we had. While we are bound by contract to use another electrician during our kitchen and bathroom remodel, I was impressed with Tom. We kept his contact information around for when we need an electrician. I look forward to working with him in the future.”

“We have used Tom for all of our electrical needs for the past few years and we wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Tom’s work is extremely clean. He is upfront about costs and makes sure to discuss with us any extra cost before the work is done. We have never had any problems with any of the electrical work he has done and most importantly... we trust Tom fully, so we don’t have to stay home while a job is being done.”

“Meeting Tom was like someone giving me a gift. He has done things for me in my house that other electricians have said could not be done. He is totally reliable, extremely courteous and as good as an electrician as one could hope to have assist them with what needs to be done. What more could one ask for?”

“I was looking for an electrician and I came across Tom’s ad which said how not only was he a licensed electrician but also a DePaul music & sound grad and guitarist. I hired him as an electrician for remodel work where I offered him more work for additional upgrades after I saw how quickly and cleanly he worked. I ended up having him do everything on my to-do list. Plus he also gave me many better ideas for rewiring and relocation of switches and outlets. After seeing his proficiency with being an electrician, I hired him as a sound engineer for our video production company and will continue to use him and recommend him to people.”
