The breakdown

What moves the number.

No mystery math. Four things decide what electrical work costs, and we walk every one with you before the quote lands.

Access & routingFishing wire through finished walls takes the time; open framing is quick. How we reach the work is most of the price.

Panel & capacityWhether your panel has room for the new load, or needs more, settled by a load calculation, not a guess.

Materials & fixturesSpec-grade devices, panel gear and the fixtures or charger you choose each set their own line.

Permits & inspectionPermitted work with inspections met costs a little more, and it is the part that keeps you safe and covered.

Whatever the mix, it lands as one flat number, in writing, and it does not move.

How it goes

From first call to done.

No mystery in the middle. This is the path the job actually takes, start to finish.

The walkthroughfirst visit

A licensed electrician comes out, opens the panel, checks your service capacity and existing circuits, and listens to what you actually want. No sales rep, the person who sees the job is the person who scopes it.

Quote lands in writingon paper

You get an itemized flat-rate quote by email, broken out by scope like panel, dedicated circuits, and any permit fees. The number does not move once you sign unless you change the scope.

Permit and schedule setin writing

We pull the electrical permit with the city and lock a start date that fits you. You get the permit number and a written schedule so you know exactly which days we are in the house.

The work gets donejob days

The crew arrives when we said, protects your floors, and works the panel and circuits in a planned order to keep power outages short. You always know who is in your home and roughly how long the power is down.

Walkthrough and sign-offbefore we leave

We walk every new circuit and outlet with you, label the panel in plain English, and haul out the old wire and debris. You are left with a passed inspection, a written workmanship warranty in hand, and a clean space.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Getting started

Do you charge for estimates?+

No. Written estimates for panels, chargers, rewires and commercial work are always free, we visit, measure, talk through scope and materials, and email you a clear, itemized quote with no obligation.

How soon can you start?+

Most estimates go out within a day, and typical projects are scheduled within one to two weeks. For urgent rewires, before a move, a sale or an event, just tell us the date and we'll do our best to fit you in.

What does “upfront flat pricing” mean?+

Before any work begins, we give you one clear, flat price to approve, prep, materials and labor included. No hourly meter, no surprise add-ons at the end. You always decide before we start.

What should I do before you arrive?+

Know where your panel is and clear a path to it, that is genuinely all. We bring shoe covers, drop cloths and our own vacuum, and we label as we go.

Do you charge extra for evenings or weekends?+

No. Flat means flat. If we quote a job, that number holds whether it lands on a Tuesday or a Saturday.

Can you give a price over the phone?+

A realistic range, yes. The flat number lands after the free safety check, in writing, before any work starts. That part never varies.

How fast can you schedule?+

Same-week for most work, faster when something is sparking, that jumps the line, call first, we will tell you what to switch off.

Panels, wiring & fixtures

What parts and brands do you use?+

Panel gear from the major manufacturers with parts availability for decades, spec-grade devices instead of builder-grade, and any fixture you have already picked out.

How do you decide what my home needs?+

Measurements and a load calculation, not a walkthrough guess. Every recommendation lands with the reading that justifies it, and you approve line by line.

Why do lights dim when appliances start?+

Voltage drop, a loaded circuit or a tired panel connection. Mostly it is fixable at the panel, occasionally it is the utility's side, we test, then tell you which.

Can you add a circuit without tearing up drywall?+

Usually, yes. Crawlspaces, attics and wire-fishing get us to most places with tiny, patchable openings, we map them on the wall in tape before cutting anything.

Which lighting scene fits my home?+

Tap through the Light Studio above, the page takes on each scene's glow, from candle-dim to daylight. Bring your favorite to the safety check.

Are smart switches worth it over smart bulbs?+

For most homes, yes, the wall keeps working for everyone, automations live underneath, and nothing bricks when the wifi blinks. We wire local-first.

Safety, permits & guarantee

Is my old panel actually unsafe?+

Some brands earned their reputation, others are just full. We tell you which yours is with photos and thermal readings, and 'it is fine for now' is an answer we give often.

What happens during the free safety check?+

Panel opened and thermal-checked, GFCI and smoke protection tested, a look at grounding and the meter base, fifteen focused minutes, then a plain-English verdict.

Do you handle permits?+

Yes, permits pulled and inspections met on panels, rewires, chargers and generators. The signed-off card goes in your project folder.

Is the Care Plan worth it?+

For most homes, yes: an annual inspection, free scuff and touch-up visits, priority scheduling, and 15% off future projects typically pay for the membership the first time you use it, and keep every finish looking new.
