Emil C. says, "Maciek from Netlink Electric did a fantastic job with the full electrical remodel of our new home in Norridge. Everything was done to code, passed inspection smoothly, and we haven’t had a single issue since. Our modern kitchen looks amazing thanks to the ambient and accent lighting he installed—it really elevated the space. We now also use Maciek for our office, and he’s always professional, punctual, and dependable. Highly recommend Netlink Electric"See more

Vee P. says, "I recently had the pleasure of hiring Sergei for a series of home projects, and I can confidently say that his work far exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, Sergei approached each task with thoughtfulness and precision. He assembled and mounted a heavy-duty squat rack in our garage, which has an uneven floor, and managed to make the installation look perfectly balanced and level — no easy feat. His attention to detail was obvious in everything he touched. What impressed me most was how meticulous Sergei was throughout the entire process. He didn’t just “install” things — he engineered every element. For example, before drilling even a single hole, he spent time measuring, marking, and confirming alignment. Whether it was the squat rack, tool organizers, or our electric car charger, Sergei made sure everything was mounted securely and with visual symmetry. He brought extra hardware and anchors just in case the included materials weren’t sufficient, showing just how committed he is to doing things the right way. Sergei also made thoughtful recommendations on height and positioning, explaining how each choice would affect the way the setup looked and functioned. He treated the project like he was working on his own home, and it showed in the final results. Every piece looks intentional and professional — not a single shortcut taken. What’s more, he worked cleanly, leaving the garage spotless when he finished. Beyond the craftsmanship, Sergei is incredibly professional — responsive, honest, fair in pricing, and easy to communicate with. It’s rare to find someone with such a high standard of work and the character to match it. He kept me informed throughout, confirmed details before moving forward, and showed up exactly when he said he would. We already have Sergei scheduled to return for additional installations of fitness equipment — that’s how strongly I believe in the quality of his work. There’s truly no need to even attempt this kind of work myself when the outcome Sergei delivers is beyond expectations. The level of precision, care, and professionalism he brings to every detail is unmatched. He’s a true professional, worth every penny, and someone I’d recommend without hesitation. Everyone should have Sergei’s number saved — because when you find someone this reliable and skilled, you don’t let them go."See more

Erin K. says, "Joe and his Dad really saved my project! I can't recommend them highly enough. This is the team to pick. I originally had Antonio Construction quote my job but then chose a cheaper contractor - boy what a mistake! The cheaper contractor did half baked work and then bailed before they finished the job. That's when I called Joe. Antonio Construction stepped into a messy situation and fixed all of the other contractor's work. They built a beautiful desk frame, stabilized and finished the walls, installed trim work... basically made my shop into a beautiful finished space. The communication was excellent and the craftsmanship was even better. I highly recommend Joe and his Dad, great folks, great contractors."See more

Is it worth it to hire an electrician?
