About Sims & Sons
Led by Darrell and Nermina Sims, Sims & Sons Electric and Plumbing is a family-owned Chicago business built on skilled workmanship, honest advice, and fair pricing. From the first conversation to the last detail, we want you to feel informed, respected, and cared for.
Our family story
Darrell Sims is a third-generation Chicago electrician who learned the trade working with his father and uncles before expanding his experience into plumbing. He later passed that family knowledge on to his brothers, Dylan and JJ. Today, those shared skills and family values shape the care we bring to our work.
Together, Darrell and Nermina lead a family-owned and operated business with a simple goal: do quality work, explain what needs to be done and what it will cost, and look after the people who call us.
We believe honest advice and careful workmanship build the kind of trust a family business can grow on.
The Sims & Sons way
Inviting someone into your home takes trust. You deserve a team that listens, explains its findings, and helps you understand your options.
Darrell believes the right recommendation starts with understanding the problem. We listen to what you have noticed, look at the affected system, and explain what needs attention. You should understand the work we recommend and why.
Honest advice, fair pricing, and clear explanations belong in every job. We talk through the proposed work and cost, answer your questions, and keep you informed as the work moves forward.
Being a good neighbor means respecting you, your family, and your property. Whether we are working in your home or coordinating with a property manager, the way we treat people matters as much as the repair.
We encourage you to read a company's positive and critical reviews, including ours. How a business treats its customers helps you decide who to welcome into your home.
How we can help
Residential electrical service is at the heart of what we do. We also provide commercial electrical service and plumbing for homes and businesses, including repairs, planned improvements, code-violation corrections, and work identified in inspection reports.
You do not need to diagnose the problem before calling. Tell us what you've noticed or what you would like to change. We will explain how we can help and plan the next step with you.
Based in Chicago, we serve homes and businesses north of Roosevelt Road and selected communities across the North Shore and Northwest Suburbs. Share your property address and the work you need so we can confirm coverage and availability.
Arranging a repair is one more responsibility in an already busy day. We want clear communication and respect for your time to make it easier.

A name we take pride in
When you choose Sims & Sons, you are choosing a local family business with people who take pride in its name. For Darrell, Nermina, Dylan, JJ, and our team, that means taking responsibility for the work we do and the way we treat you.
A repair may solve today's problem, but we hope the trust it builds lasts much longer. We want to be the team you feel comfortable calling again and recommending to a neighbor. Earning that trust starts with how we care for you and your property today.
