Are you struggling with electrical contractors that are resistant to sharing budget details? Maybe a contractor is insisting that you provide a large deposit before the work starts?

With the right insights, finding highly-qualified union electrical contractors, with a track record of completing work on time, on budget, and done right, every time, can be made easier.
“It helps to understand if the electrical contractor has certifications in the specific work that you’re requesting,”
said Eric Nixon, President of Chicagoland electric contractor Maron Electric
“Take lighting controls for instance. Knowing whether they have certification in that kind of work or whether they work with manufacturers can speak to their proficiency in the area.”
