Kathi Watkins-Deitz

Took care of problem when warranty company would not cover claim. Thanks

Jessica Roubitchek

I can't say enough good things about Alta Property Services. My basement flooded due to a burst hot water heater connection--right in the middle of trying to sell my home. It was a stressful situation, but Alta came through in the clutch. My realtor contacted them, and they responded quickly and professionally. They handled everything with the insurance company, which was a huge relief, and got right to work on the cleanup and restoration. Not only did they mitigate the water damage, but they also installed beautiful new flooring--all in time for us to keep our scheduled open house. Thanks to Alta, the space looked better than ever, and we were able to stay on track with the sale. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with unexpected property damage. Fast, reliable, and truly went above and beyond.

Michael

We had a leak in our kitchen break room. I called Alta and they had some techs on site within an hour or so. They were able to clean up the water, had mold testing done, got us a quote to replace drywall, rebuild cabinets, and put everything back together as if it never happened. We are very appreciative for the help Alta provided. All of this at a very reasonable cost as well. They are now our "go to" company for emergency services. Thank you Alex and Ron.

Michelle Schroeder

Alta Property Services has helped my clients on projects large and small. And their work and customer service are exceptional! The owner Ron has always been quick to communicate (not always the case with contractors) and the folks he has working for him really know their stuff! Peter is one of the project managers and is not only organized but also helps come up with creative solutions when needed. Highly recommend!

Dana Stotts

Our tech, Chris went above and beyond in coming to our house and completing the job. This all happened in sub zero temps in Chicago. After a long day, Chris called and provided an update on where he was and timing of when he would be able to be at the house. He was willing to come after hours (arrived at 7:30PM) and did a great job fixing 2 toilets and ensuring the job was complete before he left - and all with a smile. He was polite, professional and super helpful with explaining what he was doing. Great example of what great service looks like.

Rachel McHugh

I’m extremely happy with the service we received. We have a home warranty and Alta was dispatched to correct a plumbing issue with our toilet, it was taking forever to fill after flushing. I’ve had this problem for about 2 years now, my warranty company has sent out multiple plumbers (2-3) who’ve attempted to fix the issue but were unable and just provided me with different excuses as to why it’s not fixed, like that I have low pressure etc, when the toilet wasn’t like that when we bought the house…I’ve been under the impression we had a leak this whole time, our water bill has been outrageous so I finally called the warranty company again on the same issue and was so relieved to find out Alta was easily able to correct the problem. I guess the 3rd/4th turn is a charm. Finally a plumber who knows what they’re doing, thank you Alta! I’m hoping our water bills will be more affordable now as a result 🙏🙏

Mark Byrne

Highly recommended! I'm already lining up future projects for the team.

Celine Schroeder

The team @ Alta was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. Everything was completed on time and 100% perfect. Am grateful for true professionals!

Electrical Services — Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions we hear most from Chicago-area homeowners and property managers.

How do I know if I need an electrical panel upgrade?

Common signs include breakers that trip frequently, flickering lights throughout the home, an older fuse box that hasn't been updated, or a panel rated below 200 amps. If you're adding large appliances, an EV charger, or significant square footage, an upgrade is almost always required. Alta's electricians provide a free assessment and clear recommendation.

Do you handle electrical work for HOAs and property management companies?

Yes — we work extensively with HOAs, condo associations, and property management companies across DuPage and Cook Counties. We provide proper documentation, maintenance records, and can coordinate across multiple units or buildings. Visit our HOA Maintenance Services page to learn more.

What counts as an electrical emergency?

Any of the following warrant an immediate call: burning smell from outlets or the panel, sparking or scorched outlets, complete power loss to part or all of the home, a breaker that keeps tripping and won't reset, or visible arcing in wiring. Call (630) 461-9229 immediately — our emergency line is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Do I need a permit for electrical work in Illinois?

Most significant electrical work in Illinois — panel upgrades, new circuit installation, rewiring — requires a permit from your local municipality. Alta handles permit applications where required as part of the service. This protects you as the property owner and ensures the work is inspected to code. Simple repairs like outlet or switch replacement typically do not require permits.

Can you help with insurance documentation for electrical repairs?

Yes. Alta provides detailed photo documentation, written scope reports, and professional estimates formatted for insurance claim submission. We support homeowners through the claims process for covered electrical repairs. Learn more on our Insurance Claim Support page.

How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in the Chicago area?

The cost of a panel upgrade depends on your current panel size, the target capacity (typically 200-amp service), your home's age and wiring condition, and permit fees in your municipality.
