Chicago Electrician Recommendations?

Hey BP fam! We just closed on our first multi a month or so ago and was wondering if anyone in the Chicago market has a lead on a solid electrician who has experience working in older buildings. We went to change a light fixture and found the old cable to be semi-dry rotted and don’t want to or have the time to pull new cable/we would love to have a professional look at it. And there’s this stupid gas line right there thats capped that we’re fine with but we have to work around! Next time maybe we'll get a newer construction building! 

Thank you all so much!

Hey @Chad Gilchrist - congratulations on the purchase of your 1st multi-family, way to go! :)

I've realized over time that sometimes things may look a lot worse than they actually seem or look. I have a great electrician that goes south, sometimes north of the city depending on his site job that does small jobs on the side. Feel free to reach out if you are interested!
