Reviews of local pros in Elgin, Illinois

I had a great experience with Rays Electrical. Ray and his crew were professional and their knowledge in the trade is simply unmatched!

We needed a panel upgrade and to trench new lines to our detached garage. As a new homeowner, I very much appreciated their thorough explanations of the process and recommendations based on the area.

Highly recommend!

Ray and his team were incredibly professional and completed the job perfectly. His attention to detail is much appreciated. His office is also incredibly patient because I forgot to pay the invoice and they were incredibly courteous with me. Their prices are very competitive for the high-quality work that they do. I will 100% be using Ray and his team of qualified electricians in the future for all of my electrical needs. Joy is such a nice receptionist!

Ray's team came in after my shop caught fire and did a awesome job. From redoing the main coming in, to new panel, all new conduit outlets and LED light fixtures. Great job guys

First, I have to apologize to Ray's as this review is several months overdue! They came out in December to put in a dedicated outlet for a new sauna. My basement had just been remodeled a year before, and I was concerned about ripping up drywall. I forget the name of the young man that did the work, but what an excellent job! When he left, it looked like that outlet had always been there. He even cleaned up the drywall dust from cutting the hole for the outlet! He was in and out in about an hour. Then, unrelated to this job, I contacted them a couple weeks later with a separate issue. Ray himself stopped out that day, fixed my issue and did not charge a dime! I tried to give him some money, but he refused it. (Note to Ray - when I said "it took too long", I meant too long to not charge me.). Who does that these days?! Anyway, I will definitely use Ray's Electrical for any future needs and cannot recommend them highly enough! Excellent quality work, fair prices, prompt service, and very pleasant to deal with.

I really appreciated what Rays team did for me. They were all great! I had an issue on a holiday early in the morning and he was out here within an hour. He did everything he could to help me until I was able to get my insurance taken care of and they walked me threw the process 100%. They had to redo my whole electric box and the outside all the guys that came to fix everything we're very nice respectful and got the job done in an few hours. I would call Ray and his team for any job I needed done again! Prices were great and he was able to tell me them as he was here explaining everything to me so no hidden fees, or change of prices!

I contacted this company for a very small job — replacing a rusted bonding clamp on a copper water line. The grounding wire was already in place and intact. Instead of quoting me for the actual repair, they gave me an estimate for a full grounding system overhaul, including 40 feet of new wire and conduit. The quote was over $1,500 ( or more they said) for something that ended up costing $150 when fixed by another professional.

I felt the quote was completely out of proportion to the work needed and didn’t match the actual condition of the system. This experience makes me question their pricing transparency, especially for homeowners who may not know electrical terminology. I would not use this company again based on this interaction.

I contacted Rays to install an EVSE, aka EV car charger, in my garage. Everyone I worked with from Rays was great from scheduling through installation and follow up. Ray and Zack came out for the initial meeting and we agreed on the work to be completed. Zack and Al came back to do the installation. They were professional, got the work done quickly, cleaned up, answered all my questions and made sure that both the hardware and software for the charger were working properly. I truly feel that they understand all the requirements for the safe installation of a EV charger. They even performed a follow up visit due to an unforeseen hardware issue that had nothing to do with the installation work that Rays did.

They have an efficient administrative process that streamlines estimate, billing and payment so it can all be handled electronically, making things easier for me.

If you need to have a car charger installed you can’t do better than Rays.

I can not say enough for the timely repair. The customer service was great.
They even brought my bins up from street as they parked on Street.

All of the guys were courteous and knowledgeable. Great work.

Once again, Alexander's Plumbing did a great job for us. They were tasked with replacing old (and I mean old) plumbing fixtures in the shower in our church owned home. We've used the company for years and have not been disappointed.

I called "Alexander Plumbing" for a water heater repair to replace the burner assembly. I explained the issue to them, and Neil was great to work with! He arrived on time, replaced the part, and fixed the problem efficiently. I highly recommend their services!

Adam did a phenomenal job repairing a spigot that was leaking. He explained what most likely happened to cause the leak, and installed new equipment that will prevent this problem from happening in the future. Will use Alexander Plumbing for future plumbing needs.

My water heater all of a sudden broke and started flooding the basement, found all this out at around 230pm. I called several plumbing services but no one could come the same day. I called Alexander Plumbing and Neil picked up and came out that afternoon to remedy the problem and got the best quote on a new water heater that was installed right away the next day in the morning (they even came earlier than scheduled). They were professional, courteous, high quality work, very happy with my experience, highly recommended thank you Neil!

Paul replaced our kitchen faucet and garbage disposal, he did a great job and cleaned up beautifully! The price was fair and we will definitely call Alexander Plumbing for any additional plumbing jobs!

I highly recommend Alexander Plumbing. They were extremely prompt, knowledgeable and friendly. Pat and Paul did high quality work at a reasonable price. I couldn't happier that I chose Alexander Plumbing.

Service was prompt and very efficient. Paul knew exactly what the problem was and had it fixed in just a few minutes.

These guys were the best! So knowledgeable and they worked so hard until the problem was resolved. I would give them 10 stars!

Service was fantastic, answered all questions, installation was clean and efficient. Would highly recommend!!

I needed an emergency faucet repair in my laundry room as a new washer was being delivered and installed within a “4hour” window.
I immediately called my go to plumber and explained my situation.
This was on a Monday. I was told that the soonest someone could come out was on Thursday. Giving credit to my old plumber, they referred me to Alexander Plumbing. I called immediately and had a service associate at my door in about an hour. The faucets were replaced in time for the new appliances. I am so appreciative of the quick response and professionalism of the Alexander representatives for their service. I would highly recommend this company without hesitation.

Alexander Plumbing responded quickly when we discovered no hot water heater. They were able to resolve with replacement the same day. They were great about protecting the area and cleaning up after done.

For quite a few years now I have had Alexander Plumbing rod out tree roots as a yearly maintenance call. While it's a pricey procedure, it would be much more expensive to cut down my beloved maple tree! As usual Paul & Cole did a great job this year.
