North Shore Electric

We hired North Shore Electric to design and install a gutter and downspout de-icing system. Despite…read morethe system being powered on, the downspouts freeze solid, water backs up, and ice pools at the base--creating a serious safety hazard. We raised this issue last winter and again this year, and each time our concerns were dismissed, with blame placed on us despite the system being turned on well in advance of freezing conditions. We are now being told that their 10-year "warranty" only covers the cable itself, not evaluating whether the system is functioning properly or was correctly designed. In other words, if the system fails to do its basic job, we still have to pay them just to tell us why. What is the point of a warranty if the company refuses to stand behind system performance or take responsibility for obvious design failures? Between the unsafe conditions, refusal to investigate without charging high fees, and repeated deflection, this experience has been extremely disappointing. We would not recommend this company. It's clear that once they receive their nearly $5,000 payment, customer support ends.

Honest work, amazing service, very efficient. Definitely will be using them moving forward.read more

I contacted All Suburban Electric on Friday and scheduled a service call on Tuesday. Our…read moreelectrical technician would be there between 9-10 am. Jose contacted us to advise he would be arriving in 30 minutes. Once he arrived he reviewed what we needed done; install 3 ceiling fans and reinstall a laundry closet light fixture. All 3 rooms where the fans were to be installed did not have any overhead lights. This meant braces, electrical boxes, conduit and assembling the fans. Two of the rooms were on the 2nd level and the third on the first. The upper rooms didn't seem to cause a big problem. We have an accessible attic and Jose was thorough and had those two fans put together and installed in a very reasonable amount of time. The 1st floor was another issue. Jose had to drill the hole in the ceiling and fish a line through the ceiling to an electrical switch below on the wall. He did everything he could to create minimal damage to the wall. He made the cut so that the drywall could be placed back in the hole. Nice job! The only issue, if you plan on hiring All Suburban Electric, is that no tarps or floor coverings were used, and there were no shoe coverings used. We had insulation, bits of wood, drywall and other debris on our carpeting. Which of course was tracked through the rest of the house. Cleanup is not their strong suit.

Best locally owned hardware store in the city. Clark Devon Hardware is one of the classics as far…read moreas hardware. It has a lot of the typical household items like bathroom fixtures and that type of stuff. Find things also for businesses. The prices are higher than other places but it's better to buy locally. A lot of history about it. It's an important part of Rogers Park and recognizable for the big clock with the wrenches. This business has been around over 100 years. Pretty impressive. While there's lots of the typical products like nuts and bolts, there's also the power tool and equipment rentals. If needing something like that and you aren't planning on using it again after that then this is where to go. The store can be hard to find things but the staff is friendly and helpful. For a locally owned hardware store it has pretty good finds. It's located at the intersection in the name of course so that helps a lot. There's all the usual household items as well as power equipment and rentals.

The slogans and jingles are memorable, and all is good and fine until you need to visit one. Let me guess, it goes something like this: You walk in looking for an item and an associate who can help you. You see someone in paint, but know they can't leave their post, so you continue looking. Aha! A person! Oh wait, that's a cardboard cutout. (This actually happened to me recently at a big box.) Finally, you find someone, and they tell you where to find the item in question. Only, the entire endeavor took way too long, meanwhile, the house is a mess while you're gallivanting the aisles. Enter Clark Devon Hardware. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted and offered assistance. Even if you are just browsing, others will ask you along the way. If you do ask for help, you will either be taken to the item or shown to a person who can help (as in, 'ask this person right over here,' who sees and waves). The team at Clark Devon is knowledgeable, kind, and no nonsense. They know you have things to do and places to be. They will be happy to help you and send you on your merry way. Clark Devon may not be the prettiest hardware store, and perhaps the big boxes may even have slightly cheaper prices (this is unconfirmed). However, it is my go-to for all hardware and home improvement needs, not only out of a desire to support a locally owned business, but because customer service counts for something too. If I am to offer one smidgen of feedback, it's that I wish they were open until later in the evening. For sometimes you come back from work and discover the closet rod has snapped in two, and you need parts to replace and fix.

Then I quit that place, and did other stuff the whole time I kept running into the same problem. Places didn't have what I needed\wanted. Or if they did I had to wait weeks to get it delivered to them or myself. Then I had an epiphany( yeah I used the "epiphany" for review for a monster tool store, so what). Anyways, I ran into some tools I needed quick and so I looked up and Grainger again and low and behold they had opened a branch on Ashland between Cermak and Archer. PLUS!!!!! Now I can get whatever I want and pick it up in a day or 2, not even have to drive sometimes. Now I can get 2 ton manual chain lifts, 3/4 wire rope slings,5/8 shackles, Tweco connectors, Caster wheels with brakes, bearings, brackets, etc the list could go on forever The one thing is you need to set up an account with them in order to place orders. The upside is you'll never be more than two days away from any shop sh!t you need to finish your project.
