Tired of Flickering Lights, Worn Out Fixtures, or Unsafe DIY Wiring?
Electrical problems can be subtle—or very obvious: Lights that flicker, buzz, or don’t turn on reliably. Old or missing GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms. Loose or warm outlets and switches. Outdated fixtures that don’t match your style or provide enough light.
Trying to fix everything yourself can be: Time‑consuming. Confusing, with color‑coded wires and codes to follow. Potentially dangerous if done incorrectly.
You shouldn’t have to risk your safety or your home just to replace a light fixture or fix a switch.

How Our Electrical & Lighting Services Work
Step 1:
Tell Us What You Need
Describe your project or issue: new fixtures to install, switches and outlets to replace, lights that flicker, or rooms that need better lighting. Share photos of existing fixtures or electrical boxes if you can.
Step 2:
Get a Clear, Upfront Estimate
We review your needs, ask any follow‑up questions, and provide a transparent estimate. For more complex electrical issues, we might recommend a brief on‑site assessment before finalizing pricing.
Step 3:
Safe, Professional Installation or Repair
We schedule a convenient time, complete the work safely and to code, test everything, and clean up. You’re left with lighting and electrical that looks good and works reliably.
