All I can say is after the big ice storm last week Brian and his team got out here quickly and on point. They even did the work that Comed dropped the ball on originally. Read my other review of nexus electrical in Mchenry. They were absolutely awful in every measurable metric. The same cannot be said about Brian and his team. It was a fairly complex repair, they were in, fixed it, and they were out. I believe fairly reasonable pricing all things considered. It was an emergency repair after all. Pictures below is what they were up againstPosted on Google![]()

Brian was able to get out to my house next day and get my electrical issues solved very quickly. You can tell he's been doing this for years and his experience shows. Highly recommended.
