Recommended Customer Reviews

I had a great experience with Sims and Sons. They installed two new electrical outlets and replaced a dimmer. Andy and Richard were very professional and did a great job. They left everything very clean, which was much appreciated since there was a lot of plaster dust involved with the project. Would recommend!

Requested a quote and an appointment was scheduled and confirmed. The owner called one hour before the 3 hour appointment window was going to close and said an inspector was lat. He then requested that I send pictures instead of meeting. Sent pictures and this was the text received from the owner.

We can install and fix all of this

Service call
$200

And $180 per hour after that plus material. This is a completely open ended quote and a waste of time. I am not sure this is the professionalism that meets any customers expectations.

Sims and Sons is the most amazing company ever! Am going through a health issue & night before Thanksgiving had no kitchen light. Was devastating. Live in a high rise with strict building. This gentleman was incredible helping make sure fixed that evening as have special needs as well. Darrell and his brother not only are knowledgeable but have the kind of caring ethic any company should have and more. So grateful. They are coming to change light in shower. This family run co. speaks for itself and highly recommended them!

After dealing with some broken outlets and breakers, I called Sims & Sons to get a quote for service. On the phone call, Darrell was able to do some initial troubleshooting based on my situation and give me peace of mind that the fix would be easy. His electrician was at my place about an hour later and the whole thing was fixed quickly. I also got advice on how to avoid breaking things again Super positive experience, friendly staff, and best price I got -- I'll definitely be using Sims & Sons again.

We had an appointment scheduled for October 12th. Darryl Sims called to say he had to pick up his son, so he had to cancel our appointment. No problem.. He'd have someone come out on Friday the 13th, Andy, the electrician looked at our repair, took some photos and told us he didn't do estimates. Some one would call. Today is October 23rd. We were never contacted with an estimate. If they didn't want the job, they should have just let us know. Not very professional.

I cannot recommend Sims and Sons enough! They have incredible customer service and were extremely quick to respond. Andy was very professional and resolved our problems immediately, hassle free.

This was our first time using their services and we were very impressed and will continue to call them for our future needs! THEY ARE THE BEST IN CHICAGO!!

I got a full panel replacement and they did a spectacular job, even grounded and replaced my outlets to keep my old building up to code. Very professional!

Kelly B.
★★★★★

Quick service -- we had someone come out to our house the day after we called. We needed two bathroom faucets replaced, and the plumber was in and out within about an hour and did the job well! He was super friendly and hard working and we won't hesitate to call sims and sons again if we have a problem (though hopefully we won't need to anytime soon!)

★★★★☆

i had 4 wafer recessed lights installed in my ceiling. Graham was very progressional and guided me through the entire process and ensured I was able to provide feedback when decisions needed to be made. I would use the company again.

★☆☆☆☆

I would give this service no stars if I could. After scheduling with someone to come in for a quote they decided to do a no call no show instead. Once that got resolved someone came in the next day, on their time. My husband and I were lenient about the time constraints because we really need our washer/dryer installed before our new baby arrives.

Ever since we agreed on the quote for the job we have not heard from anyone. My husband has texted/called the person of contact for over a week now and they have gone completely MIA. This is beyond unprofessional and unreliable. How could someone want to work with a company like this? We have now had to start this whole process again and look for other plumbers and electricians because we can not keep waiting around for this company to reach out on their time or possibly never reach out.
