Where the work actually is
Lincoln Square, Chicago is organized around Lincoln Avenue, Western Avenue, Lawrence Avenue, and the Brown Line Western stop. The buildings are vintage courtyard apartments, brick two-flats, and single-family homes behind the Lincoln Avenue shops. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for restaurant hood and kitchen circuits, rear-pad chargers on alley garages, and rewires when a vintage apartment still has an ungrounded kitchen.
How this job is scoped
A storefront or restaurant build-out gets its own panel schedule: hood, refrigeration, dishwasher or equipment, lighting, and point of sale on separate breakers. Landing all of that on the apartment meter, or on a lighting circuit, fails inspection and trips during service. We trace the house feeder before the equipment is ordered.
Storefronts, commons, and the rest of the block
Beyond the houses, the calls are the Lincoln Avenue restaurant row, where a new walk-in or dishwasher trips a panel that was sized for a smaller cafe.
Permits and access
City of Chicago permits. Alley access for a garage feeder is a real scheduling item, not a footnote.
Before the truck rolls
If a store is in a build-out, keep the equipment submittals. A hood and a walk-in that were never on the drawings are how a panel runs out of spaces.
What fails in these buildings
A dining room that goes dark on a Saturday service, or a breaker that will not stay on after the hood starts, needs a licensed electrician the same day. Call (773) 721-1111.
