Our story: S&J Electrical Designers & Contractors
For over 40 years, our family has served the Chicago area with trusted electrical, plumbing, and general contracting services. Learn about our journey, our values, and what makes us your reliable partner for every project.
A family legacy of electrical excellence
S&J Electrical stands out because we’re a true family-run, second-generation electrical company serving the Chicago area since 1986. With over 50 years of combined experience between father and son, we’ve built our reputation on honest work, clear communication, and doing every job right the first time—no shortcuts, ever. We treat every home like it’s our own and stand behind all of our work, which is why so much of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals.
Experience you can trust, reliability you deserve
First, experience you can trust. S&J Electrical is a second-generation, family-run company with over 40 years in the trade. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, and we do things the right way—no shortcuts, no guesswork, just code-compliant, high-quality work every time.
Second, reliability and integrity. We show up, communicate clearly, and stand behind everything we do. Whether it’s a small repair or a full installation, customers know the job will be done safely, correctly, and at a fair price.
When people think of S&J Electrical, we want them to feel confident and at ease—like they called someone who actually cares, knows what they’re doing, and won’t leave them with problems later.
Our dedicated team and shared values
S&J Electrical is a family-run team built on decades of hands-on experience. Led by a second-generation master electrician, our crew includes licensed electricians and apprentices who are trained the right way—on real jobs, with real standards. Between our family and team, we bring over 50 years of combined experience in residential and commercial work.
When we’re on a job, we all share the same core values: do it right the first time, communicate clearly, and never take shortcuts. We take pride in clean, code-compliant work that’s built to last, not quick fixes that create problems later.
Most importantly, we treat every home and customer with respect. That means showing up on time, being transparent about the work, and standing behind everything we do—because our name is on every job we finish.
Serving Chicago: our commitment to community
Being part of the Chicago area isn’t just where S&J Electrical Designers & Contractors works—it’s who we are. Our company was built here over 40 years ago, and we take a lot of pride in continuing that legacy by serving our neighbors, homeowners, and businesses with honesty and respect. Every day, our work is guided by a few simple principles: do it right the first time, follow all electrical codes without shortcuts, and communicate clearly with the customer from start to finish. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, but just as important, we believe trust is earned on every job—not claimed in marketing. We also believe in giving back where we can, whether that’s helping a local family in need, supporting community spaces, or providing reliable service when people are in a tough spot and need help fast. For us, being part of the Chicago community means showing up, standing behind our work, and treating every project like it’s in our own home.
