Where the work actually is
Roscoe Village, Chicago is organized around Roscoe Street, Belmont, Western, and Addison. The buildings are workers’ cottages, brick two-flats, and newer cottages that replaced frame houses. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for cottage rewires, rooftop-deck circuits, and alley-garage feeders for chargers or shops.
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 Roscoe and Belmont storefronts, cafes, and fitness studios with limited back-room panel space.
Permits and access
City of Chicago permits. Cottages hide knob-and-tube in knee walls. We open enough of the path to see it before quoting a partial repair.
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.
What fails in these buildings
A deck circuit added by a previous owner without a GFCI, or a hot garage receptacle, is a common correction here. Call (773) 721-1111.
