"MCL is one of the best in the Chicago area. We have hired them for 4+ years. As well as the great quality work they have very fair prices."
"Caleb and his team came to our business to fix a butchered job from a previous electrician. We had thousands of dollars of equipment destroyed by a crooked electrician, and they effortlessly repaired it back to great working condition. Service was professional, top notch, and very much reasonably priced."
"I'm still thanking my friend who introduced me to MCL Electric. Caleb is not only a talented electrician but is such a pleasure to work with. Hard working, on time, quick response time, clean, honest, and always goes above and beyond on every job. A true gem in my contact list!"
"MCL was wonderful. They were on time and knowledgeable and were able to come out to my unit within a couple of days. Would highly recommend!"
"Caleb and his team were great to work with. He was very responsive and professional. I would highly recommend calling MCL Electric for any of your electrical needs!"
Nearly all of MCL Electric's work comes from repeat clients and word-of-mouth referrals — general contractors who bring us back project after project because the work is clean, the pricing is fair, and our word is good.
We're a lean, owner-operated shop serving the Chicago metro — commercial construction, commercial service, and residential work, all from one licensed team. When you call MCL, you talk to the person responsible for your job, not a dispatcher. That's why GCs and homeowners alike keep our number.
Integrity is the business model: we've walked away from jobs rather than cut corners. On your project, that works in your favor.
