Start with the property
Ukrainian Village, Chicago is organized around Chicago Avenue, Division Street, Damen, and Western. The buildings are workers’ cottages, brick two-flats, and graystones, many with plaster walls and original services. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for whole-house rewires during restoration, knob-and-tube retirement, and new kitchen circuits that cannot share the old lighting run.
How this job is scoped
When plaster or lath is open, that is the time to retire knob-and-tube and to separate kitchen lighting from the small-appliance circuits. Patching first and fishing later costs more and still misses splices buried in the ceiling. We mark what stays and what is abandoned so the next inspection is not a guess.
Same-day hazards
A fuse panel still in service, or a hot switch in a plaster wall, is past the point of another adapter. Call (773) 721-1111.
Before the truck rolls
Owners who already opened a wall should leave it open. Covering a damaged cable before we see the path means we open the same wall again.
The buildings around it
Most of the non-house calls are Chicago Avenue restaurants and small galleries that need a real kitchen panel. City of Chicago permits. Restoration projects want the new wiring in before plaster is repaired. We rough in while the walls are open.
Also on the schedule
Jobs here often sit next to work in Wicker Park and Humboldt Park. One dispatch number covers them: (773) 721-1111. Crews leave from 939 W North Ave.
