Electrical work in Portage Park
Portage Park, Chicago is organized around Six Corners, where Irving Park Road, Cicero, and Milwaukee meet, plus the bungalow blocks around Portage Park. The buildings are classic Chicago bungalows, two-flats, and courtyard buildings near the commercial corners. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for bungalow kitchen remodels, attic fan and bedroom circuits, and storefront panels at Six Corners.
How this job is scoped
Lighting added during a renovation, including recessed lights and a ceiling-fan circuit, is roughed in while the ceiling is open. The switch legs, the neutral, and the box fill are checked before drywall. Closing the ceiling and then cutting a row of holes is how a simple lighting job turns into a repair.
Storefronts, commons, and the rest of the block
Beyond the houses, the calls are Six Corners restaurants, clinics, and shops that share old commercial risers.
Inspection path
City of Chicago permits. A Six Corners tenant sometimes inherits a panel in a locked neighbor’s closet. We find the feeder path before demo day.
Before the truck rolls
If the ceiling is open for other trades, book the electrical rough-in before insulation. Lighting and fan boxes are cheap while the joists are visible.

Shut it off if you see this
Holiday lighting and space heaters piled onto a bungalow’s existing receptacles are a December failure. The fix is a circuit, not another power strip. Call (773) 721-1111.
