I cannot say enough great things about this company. During the weekend our Air Conditioner went out and after having it replaced, the breakers blew overnight on Monday. It was a miracle it didn't cause a fire to our home.

Given that I have two young children at home, we needed a quick solution. The owner of Sims and Sons called me immediately, diagnosed the issue and was able to come the next day to completely replace the circuit board, breakers, wiring and AC connection. It turns out the inspector completely missed that the panel / breakers were non-compliant and this was a huge risk.

The electricians were professional, thoughtful and quick to act for our family. And they explained things every step of the way.

I reached out to Sims & Sons to remove Romex wire and replace it with metallic conduit. I was able to schedule a free estimate quickly, and I found that their electricians were prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable. This gave me the confidence to proceed with the repair.

The work was completed on time, and Sims & Sons also helped me find a quality drywall repair service to complete the patching.

While at my home, the electricians also helped me with some smaller wiring jobs at no additional cost, which was much appreciated.

The owner of Sim & Sons, Darrell, was accessible, honest and upfront with pricing. It's a company that I would definitely use again for electrical work

Short Story: Extremely happy with the service that Darrell provided. Christian was the best and Romero was equally helpful.

Long Story: I called on a Thursday afternoon and he came same day to give a quote on a replacement panel. Explained to me the scope of the job and gave a quote within an hour- From the time I called him.

Called at 2:45PM on a Thursday, came to the house by 3PM showed him what needed to be done and he knew the job in and out. Removing Existing service - Replacing the 100 Amp panel and reworking some wires, new cold water ground, everything needed to make our 1960 service brand new.

Christian and Romero come though exactly on time, explained what they were going to do got it done in one day. I have had the same job done at another house and it took 3 days. These two rocked the job and banged it out.

Can't thank them enough. Good work gentleman.

If you want a solid job, quick turn around, a real electrician, someone who is going to take the job serious and not try and take advantage this is your guy.

100% recommend you call them.

Christian and Romero from Sims and Sons were magnificent! Courteous, Prompt, Communicative, and they did exactly what they said they’d do—WELL and for exactly the price they quoted—I have an old house and garage with wacky wiring and everything and they EVEN installed the outlet as I asked so the plug faced the right way for me to hang the charger up - hiring them to do more projects starting in another week!

I will definitely use Sims & Sons Electric again and recommend to anyone in need of a professional electrician. They responded immediately to my call, scheduled someone as soon as available and worked with my availability in the day. Arnell arrived early, called in advance to let me know was on my way. Listened to my issue, gave me a VERY reasonable quote to fix my electric panel and was done in a couple minutes. Very pleasant and professional.

I reached out to Sims and Sons with a few issues I was having with electrical and a dishwasher install. Darrell and some of his workers came and assessed the situation. They explained everything that was wrong and what they were doing to fix the issues. They were so polite and kind and worked so fast. Their pricing isn’t outrageous like some other companies. They showed up on time and were very respectful. They did great work. I will definitely use them again and will recommend them to all family and friends.

When I returned from vacation, I noticed black soot around a power outlet, and called Sims and Sons. Anel arrived at our exact meeting time, and was very kind, which is always appreciated. He examined the outlet, thoroughly explained what had happened, fixed it, and cleaned everything up within a few hours. It was a very inexpensive repair which was a relief. I had a great experience with them, and wouldn't hesitate to call them again for any future electrical needs.

I can highly recommend Sims & Sons for your electrical project needs. I had laundry list of updates I wanted to make to my house including adding a new exterior outlet, moving existing outlets, and running new circuits. Christian and Romero came by and knocked all of it out quickly and professionally. They were very thorough and kept everything clean despite having to open quite a few segments of drywall and drilling through exterior brick walls.

I live in a condo unit that has good bones but has never been updated - ever. So the first step was to update the electrical system. Nate was one of a few electricians I met with to find out what was needed and estimate the cost. He made some really good observations, checked out the existing panel and submitted an the estimate that worked for my budget.
He started the following week with another electrician, Graham, and, for about a half day with Christian. … I’m not even sure what they did but Nate, Graham, and Christian, worked over a day and a half on the project. In the end, there was a new, upgraded electrical panel, wires pulled for several outlets and switches. They installed an outlet for a dryer, another for a microwave, light switches with dimmers, GFCI switches, under cabinets lights.
These guys were great!
Unfortunately drywall will cover all the work.
The drywall repairs will be straight forward because the openings were cleanly cut. They covered counters and appliances with plastic, cleaned the workspace each day and took their waste with them.
They were respectful, careful, deliberate, and pleasant to work with. I had a chance to talk to the Darryl, the owner, at the end of the job who was as respectful and professional as the crew that worked in my condo.
This was a great experience and I’m very happy with the outcome!

I contacted Sims & Sons Electric because they're local to my home and were well reviewed. I respect that they're family owned and was very pleased with the response time and the technicians who came out. They let me know they were running early and gave me the option of having them arrive sooner than scheduled. The work was explained, my questions were answered, and they left the area very tidy. I would definitely recommend them.

I had Sims & Sons work on moving and replacing a chandelier in my condo. They were very quick to come evaluate the project and give me an idea of what would be involved. The team was much cleaner and faster than I anticipated, and the only problem was that there was a small issue with the new light once it was installed. However, they stayed to help me to troubleshoot the problem without additional cost, and it turned out to be due to a very specific, uncommon designer requirement for that light that they provided me the resources to remedy.

Nate and his team were fantastic. Efficient, diligent, and knowledgeable. My issue required ordering a special part and subsequent installation.

Reasonable price and choices given, (home is very old), kept up to date on everything being done. Also made time to check other problems besides the one that I originally called them for which was nice of them. Great job guys!

Sims & Sons provided outstanding service when we hired them to rewire our garbage disposal and dishwasher. From prompt and professional quotation by Darrell to efficient work by Slobo and Anel, their team delivered top-notch workmanship. In addition, a few weeks later we had Alex and Ronnie replace 7 water shut off valves, and I was thoroughly satisfied with their work as well. Based on these experiences, I highly recommend Sims & Sons for any plumbing or electrical needs.

We needed someone to check for wiring issues for a fixture that kept losing power. First of all they were very responsive and easy to schedule with. I contacted a few other places as well that never even responded. Then they followed up to confirm the appointment and were right on schedule. Christian and Ramiro called to let us know arrival time, and were very easy and pleasant to work with. They ensured that the wiring and connections were safe and up to code, then explained the possible problems and gave us options of next steps. The only thing the company could improve is communicating the $185 fee for service calls. I understood the free estimate to mean that they would decide how much work would be needed then the charge, but it was $185 to even begin the call. Otherwise, was 100% pleased with the company and service.

I called the owner Darrell, on a Sunday for an emergency situation and he was the only company that could ACTUALLY provide same day service. He showed up to the property within 2 hours, and while we were on the phone he explained the issue to me and provided a great solution that saved me money long term. I will hands down be using him exclusively moving forward as my go-to electrician. 10/10.

Darrell is a fantastic electrician. This was not the first time I've utilized his services, and it certainly won't be the last. He's extremely knowledgable and, when requested, takes the time to explain what he's doing and why. During his most recent visit, he installed a pendant for me (pictured) as well as a dimmer switch. As someone who knows nothing about the trades, this was super valuable for me! Not only is he extremely talented, but you can also tell that he is a good man who genuinely cares about his customers and doing a good job. I highly recommend his services!

Darrell from Sims and Sons scammed us out of $1000. He was unpleasant to work with and he took advantage of us.*

Sims and Sons came out to assess a leak I had. They gave me two options. One was a temporary fix that was a grand and one was a permanent fix for $2400. I trusted the plumbers to provide us with viable options and selected the $1000 fix and figured when we had more money saved we could go back and correct it for good. The temp fix lasted 5 days. They wanted to charge me the full $2400 to do the permanent fix when I had just paid $1000 for an option they provided that lasted 5 days. Darrell's employee even said it was weird the fix only lasted for 5 days. When I said that wasn't fair they were going to give me $100 off. I said no, and we ended our call. The boss, Darrell, called me. Very odd, but he said he listened in on my phone call with his employee, which I found really creepy. I did not enjoy my conversation with him. In the end he offered to do the permanent fix for $2,000. My partner and I discussed it and decided we did not want to continue to work with them. Darrell and Sims and Sons did not stand behind their work for even 5 days. They must be desperate for business if they were willing to keep our $1000. Made this whole experience take way longer than it had to and is disheartening. Do not recommend.

*if anyone is considering working with Darrell I recommend reading his response to my review. I will no longer spend my energy engaging with this company. Save your money and peace of mind and find a reliable plumber recommended by someone you trust.

Eddie, the plumbing technician, contacted me and was very understanding and worked to find a time that would work for me as soon as possible. When Eddie and the other plumbing technician, David, showed up, they were very professional and immediately diagnosed my issue as not a plumbing problem, but a problem with the dishwasher itself. I was not charged for their assessment. I had a great experience with Sims & Sons and will certainly be contacting them for any plumbing or electrical issues I have in the future.

Very professional. Chris came out to survey our condo building's outdoor lighting that had stopped working and look into installing a CO detector and moving an exhaust fan switch in our garage. He identified a faulty neutral line on the lights and quoted a price range with an amount they would not exceed (based on how long it took to troubleshoot the faulty wire).
Chris and Graham came out to do the work a couple days later and were on time and prepared. The fan switch and detector were quickly and properly installed as I specified. The outdoor lighting was trickier as there was both a faulty photocell and they had to check the wiring connecting a dozen lamps across the building before finding that one that had been installed incorrectly with a pinched wire. The lights came on that night and look great.
They took the time to explain what they did and checked up the next day to make sure everything worked. I also appreciated that I had a worst case price before they started. Would definitely recommend.

Sims & Sons are great! Zeno and David were quick and professional. In about an hour, Zeno and David were able to move a 500+ lbs refrigerator, diagnose the leaky water line, run out to buy a replacement braided stainless steel hose, reinstall the new hose, and move the refrigerator back.

During the initial conversations, there was a question regarding the water shut-off for the refrigerator water line and code compliance (turned out to be a non-issue) -- scoping out the work in a responsible and compliant manner was very much appreciated. I got the sense that this was a reputable company and not one that can be categorized as one and done.

I will definitely reach out Sims & Sons for any future plumbing and electrical needs for my home.

Once our main electric box panel was placed, Darrell was able to label what switch went to what room, and made sure I understood what controlled each room.

I can't recommend Darrell enough. He's honest, hardworking and personable - to say nothing about the quality of the work. We started with getting quotes for installing bidets and bathroom fans. Darrell was the only one to come out and inspect the house before giving us a quote. We ended up hiring him for a whole home lighting project. 14 can lights and replacing the trims on 20 more, 2 ceiling fans, 3 bathroom fans, a smart doorbell, and 6 outlets. There were issues (there always are) and every time Darrell immediately let me know, and told me how he was going to fix it.
His employees are great. Friendly and they cleaned up after well.
His price is very fair. His quote was much lower than other companies. The job went long, but the price never went up.

I will be recommending him to friends and family, and I will be contacting him first for any future projects.

Sims and Sons and Zeno, in particular, provide thoughtful, professional, fair, and prompt service (within 1.5 hours), which is unparalleled in our experience.

We feel fortunate to have been connected with Zeno as he responded to a leaky valve (which resulted in a basement flood) and most recently a faulty sump pump. We have shared our positive experiences with close friends. Although we rarely take time to review companies, we'd like to share our exceptional review in the hopes other families can find relief in stressful home emergencies.

Sims and Sons helped me replace my under mount cabinet lights in the kitchen.

Darrell was quick to respond regarding the estimate and helped me decide what direction to go with the lights (LED bar, LED puck, or other options I hadn't thought of) because I was having trouble deciding what was best.

Dino and Eli showed up right on time to do the work and walked me through how they were going to install the lights and offered to answer any questions/concerns I had. They were professional, knowledgable and courteous. Also, they seem to make a good team because they outlined a plan and got to work quickly.

I am very pleased with how the lights look, I went with LED puck lights with a dimmer switch. They are honestly better than I imagined.

I had a very favorable experience and would use Sims and Sons again in the future.

Can't recommend this company enough. Will call them again for any of my future plumbing needs.

When some other electrician left us with extremely shoddy work and unresolved issued, Ely and Graham from Sims & Sons stepped the hell up and saved the day. From start to finish, working with Sims & Sons was great.

Initially we called just to have repairs done to the completely botched induction range install the previous guy did, but our first chat with Darrell left us feeling like we'd found someone who knew their ish, so we gave them the whole list: move some outlets and switches, reroute a bunch of conduit, ground the electric, install ceiling lights and outlets where none existed, fix an outlet that'd be busted 10+ years, remove some lights from one switch and run them to another, etc., etc.

Ely and Graham worked together to come up with a solution for the range, and it was clear that Ely has some serious creative problem solving skills. Everything was up and running within a day (whereas the previous guys took three days and two different crews just to make our lives harder). Ely walked me through every repair, update, and change they'd made while Graham cleaned up (like, *actually* cleaned up. it was dope). They were also very attentive to the fact that we had some of the same power tools laying around that they had, and made sure nothing got swapped or accidentally taken at the end of the day.

Seriously. Huge props to Darrell, Ely, and Graham. 10/10, A+, 100%.

They are quick to respond - the best among many I contacted for a quote
They employ experienced licensed professionals that come in on time giving you a call before arriving.
They are careful and courteous at all times while repairing things and explain what they're doing in response to the issue or problem.
They work cleanly and fast.
Their fees were the best prices among other professional services I quoted.
- I'd definitely hire them again.

We just bought a 1924 bungalow that had a panel from 1967, wasn’t grounded, and needed to be moved to the side of the house from under the porch. Darrell was no-nonsense, got us scheduled within a week of his assessment visit (when other companies were telling us it would be months before they could get us in). Anel then came out with an awesome team (Eli, Graham, and Delvin), and knocked out the big job in one day. So friendly, fast, knowledgeable, and competent! Hire these guys!

Darrell and his team did such an exceptional job at replacing my ceiling fan with flush mount and install two sconces. From the initial communication with Darrell, he was very transparent with how they would complete the work and provided various options for me to make sure I felt good about the work and the price. Also, his entire team is is super nice and very professional.

Our outdoor electrical outlet stopped working. They came the same day to replace them with the correct grounded outlet that was not initially installed. The electrician was very polite and installed waterproof covers and fixed an indoor light switch as well. He explained in great detail all the prices and was very helpful and professional. I highly recommend them.

Our fire and carbon monoxide alarm began “chirping” to notify us it had reached its ten year life expectancy. I replaced with a new one, but could not get it working correctly. In addition, my amateur installation tripped a breaker and we were without electricity in part of our home. Sims & Sons came on a Sunday within hours of our call and installed alarm and fixed the breaker. Fast, courteous and reasonably priced. We would highly recommend.

Sims & Sons is super responsive and does a great job! They answered my call and had an electrician to my home within an hour (for a non-urgent job)! Albert arrived and was efficient and tidy. He installed dimmers on all of our light switches, and installed a chandelier in the master bedroom. I'll definitely be using them again, and will request Albert!

Sims & Sons removed track lighting and installed can lighting in our West Town living/dining room in April 2021. They did an outstanding job. Darrell walked me through the project in a patient and helpful way, suggesting layouts for the lights and answering any questions I had. His team, Enos and Arel (apologies for any misspellings), worked efficiently and with great care for our home. I give Sims & Sons my highest endorsement.

Of course when it’s 90 degrees and 100% humidity all of our window AC units suddenly stopped working! Darrell came to our rescue and quickly assessed the circuit breaker and outlets and resolved the issue. I was so impressed that he answered the phone right away and came right over, despite it being 7pm. He was very knowledgeable and knew exactly how to proceed. So thankful we called Sims and Sons!

Amazing customer service! I called 10+ electricians and couldn't even get a call back, with with Sims & Sons, Darrel not only called me back within an hour, but he had someone at my house within 30 minutes of our call.

One of their electricians, Ennis, was able to fix our outdoor socket that wasn't working, essentially saving the holiday season since now our holiday lights will work. Beyond the service, both Darrel and Ennis were able to explain the situation to me and walk me through what happened and how to avoid it next time, which I appreciated.

Pricing was great but the turnaround was super impressive. Highly recommend them!

We own a 3-flat, and one of our tenants called us letting us know part of his power was out. It was 4:55 PM! I immediately started calling electricians on Google. Darrell was the first person to pick-up, and an hour later our issue was fixed.
Darrell is professional, intelligent, and communicative. Working with him was a great experience!
We will be calling him shortly for additional preventative work that needs to be completed on the house.

Darrell came out on short notice on a chilly Saturday and got our house fixed. The power went out on a cold day and we called a few places, Darrell was the only one who got back to us. He showed up promptly, diagnosed what was wrong, went and got the parts needed, and installed them right away; he even coordinated with ComEd to make sure things were run properly outside and put our panel back together with everything up and running when he left. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and he saved us from spending a cold night without power in December.

From start to finish I was thoroughly impressed by the work done by Darrell and Ennis. We needed outdoor lighting installed and Darrell came out at no charge to take a look at what needed to be done in order to provide an accurate estimate. He followed up with a detailed, itemized quote that outlined each and every step and what it would cost. This made for a truly transparent process, especially compared to other quotes I got. I was charged exactly what I was quoted. Ennis was great and we appreciated his meticulousness, especially since he had to cut through some drywall to access a line. We are very happy with our outdoor lights and would recommend Sims and Sons.

Can’t say enough about good things about my experience with Sims and Sons Electric and Plumbing. Was looking to add electrical and a ceiling fan to a bedroom that didn’t have it and shortly after reaching out for a quote, Darrell contacted back with a fair price and scheduled me for a last minute appointment the week of Christmas. Enis came out to do the work and I could tell he knew exactly what he was doing and was able to explain everything thoroughly. There’s always a sigh of relief when you know the person working on your home is a true a professional and master of their craft. Enis also wore a mask and had his own shoe covers, which made the Mrs. extremely happy. Can’t beat the customer service and quality of their work!

Had Sims & Sons out a couple times for separate issues and have only positive things to say. They were able to quickly identify and repair an outdoor broken neutral wire for our courtyard and then replaced significant amounts of broken and damaged outdoor 120v wiring. Also had them look at and modify the electric to my wall oven that was preventing a replacement oven from fitting and had everything good to go in under an hour!

Had them come over to look at a steam unit for me. They were upfront about the fact they do not normally work on these types of units. Still looked at it, and worked on some fuses to see if they could get it to fire up. While they weren't able to fix it, they gave me good next steps to get it fixed. Will definitely be using them for my plumbing needs in the future.

We had a faulty toilet that was leaking and causing issues. Darrell came out right away and was able to remove it and get a new toilet installed within a couple hours.

Darrell's team did a great job, and also did all the extras to go above and beyond. They were safe and wore masks, left the work area spotless, and worked around us while we were working from home (in a 1-bedroom apartment). He even worked with our neighbors downstairs to help us out with cleaning the leak as affordably as possible.

We highly recommend Sims and Sons. They are personable, easy to work with, honest and fair. Most importantly, Darrell is focused on long-term solutions, not quick-fixes - so you won't be looking at the same problem a few months later. very much appreciated. Thanks guys!

After a different plumber replaced my garbage disposal, that plumber announced that the power to the unit was not working and that I would have to call an electrician to finish installing the disposal. That plumber charged me almost 500 dollars for his work and left. Needing an electrician, I called Sims and Sons based on their reviews. They quickly texted back, requested that I describe the problem in a text and then set up an appointment at my requested time. Two electricians, Dean and Dino showed up at the appointed time then diagnosed and fixed the issue , all within less than thirty minutes. The electricians wore Covid protection and were respectful of the property the entire time they were present. More importantly, they were extremely knowledgeable and very professional and enjoyable to have on the premises. I would highly encourage any person having plumbing or electric issues to contact Sims and Sons. You will be glad that you did.

Sims and Sons has done a couple projects for me. I like that they're honest and upfront. I told them what I wanted- he explained how and why that might be a bad idea. He quoted both the price for what I wanted and the price for what he thought would be a better idea. WITH NO PRESSURE. He literally said to me- I will do whatever you want. I am not trying to upsell you. This is expensive, I get it.

Then- his team was quick, clean, thorough, professional. I can't say enough about them. I wrote down the names but I lost the paper- Two guys. Real fit dudes. Professional, polite- and they took the time to explain what they were doing. I mean, just phenomenal. I will be having them return for lots of other projects.

When he hasn’t been around his guys have been just as good. Shout out to Eli. He’s an absolute gem! The guy is super smart, another great communicator and goes above and beyond.

For example, I told him I had a baby asleep. He and his assistant, BJ, were quiet as church mice the entire time. I was on a few work calls the second time they were there and they both were very respectful. They came and left silently despite having ladders and other gear. I can’t say enough good things about him.

Everyone we have referred him to has thoroughly appreciated the work he has done.

In our most recent job with him, he installed 27 dimmers for us. It was a large project and he did an amazing job. He worked with us to buy all the material in advance for us, did a walk through discussion of everything we wanted, and didn't leave until we were completely satisfied with all the work that was performed.

We will be using him again for the next phase of our home, without a doubt.

I am doing a total bath/laundry room reno that involves adding multiple sinks, adding light fixtures, moving all conduit and plumbing in a wall, moving outlets, new shower valve, new washer pan, dryer outlet, etc. First, the company's website asks you to fill out a form describing your job, then just tells you to call their number to describe it again and schedule an estimate, which seemed like a waste of time. But I called, and Darrell told me he'd get in touch with me Thursday to schedule a visit on Friday. Finally at 9:30pm on Thursday he told me he'd be there between 2:30-3:30 on Friday. Friday I took time off work and waited, finally texting him at 3:48 to ask if he was still coming. He responded that he was on the way. At 4:28 I asked for an ETA, and he told me he was behind and no longer coming, and when he'd said he was on the way he'd thought I was someone else. After taking time off work and waiting two hours, I was pretty upset, but still politely told him that I would've appreciated a heads up earlier that he wasn't coming instead of making me sit there waiting for two hours. Obviously if I hadn't texted him he had no intention of ever reaching out to me to let me know, and he has absolutely zero regard for a potential customer's time. But instead of being apologetic, he was demeaning and insulting, saying I can send you a $5 Starbucks card as an apology. Comes across as *extremely* childish and unprofessional, when you have blown someone off, wasted their time, and cost them money taking time off work, to dismissively offer them $5. I would even understand if I was wasting his time asking for a light bulb to be changed, but this was a relatively big job. My architect told me some contractors are sexist and probably treated me that disrespectfully because I'm a woman, but it's also possible Darrell is just that rude to everyone. Based on his reviews that seem to be mostly about changing light fixtures or fixing leaks, I also wonder if his team is just not equipped for a job of this size so he blew it off, but it also would have been polite to simply say that up front instead of scheduling a consult he had no intention of showing up for.

Definitely not someone I would trust to show up for a job, do it competently, or treat me and my home with respect.

(And just in case he attempts to claim the offer of a $5 Starbucks card was not an insult but an attempt at a sincere apology and simply the best he can afford, he obviously never sent one, lol.)

Edit in response to his reply: 1) Weird that you claim a total remodel is small for you but all your reviews are for replacing light fixtures. 2) Yes we all have bad days, but it still takes under a minute to let a customer know you are having a bad day and won't make it. We could've rescheduled if you'd had the respect to do that. Please explain why you made no effort to notify me. 3) Congratulations on your binders full of women; like I said, I'm also totally open to the possibility you're rude to all genders. That was just my architect's guess. 4) You have all of my contact information, I gave three days before leaving a review, and you still have not reached out to apologize or send any of these cheap regifted gift cards you keep promising, so do not publicly pretend the offer is sincere. 5) How is it odd to let you know blowing me off had actual consequences for me, and a heads up would've been nice?

I called Darrell after having issues with my breaker tripping. He was able to fit me in and had me taken care of within the hour. Can't beat that.

Zeno was great! Found the cause of the leak and realized the piping was complicated and not needed. It was fixed in less than 30 minutes.

Shout out to a company that can communicate like you expect and quick to provide.

Enis got in, didn’t mind me hovering, explained the issue while diligently working and just like that my problem was solved.

Informative quality service!

Great and professional service. Came the same day and was a delight to do buisness with. Only downside is a little pricey but worth it if you want quick and professional service

Very positive experience - the owner Darrell had a crew swing by the same day (a day earlier than promised). They helped assess why my freezer was tripping the circuit breaker, but confirmed no power issue. They even checked two additional issues (light switch and ceiling fan) for no charge. Will definitely reuse in the future.

These guys are amazing - super great human beings, flexible and very knowledgable. Sims & Sons are my electricians for life. I had so many questions and concerns (we live in a building that's over 100 years old), and they took the time to explain everything. Very thorough and considerate.

Darry was great when I sent inquires on getting new panel installed for the purchase of my new home! He gave accurate information and fair pricing. I schedule with him and they communicated wonderfully! The day before the install I got a message confirming everything. The day of the install they showed up on time with a phone call stating they are on the way! Anel was great. He was very polite and cleaned up everything! I highly recommend them!
