Common jobs in the home

  • Troubleshooting & repairs

    Dead outlets, flickering lights, warm switch plates and breakers that won’t stay on. We track down the cause instead of guessing.

  • Outlets, switches & circuits

    Add outlets where you actually use them, put in dedicated circuits for big appliances, or swap worn devices for new ones.

  • Lighting

    Recessed lights, fixture swaps, under-cabinet lighting and outdoor lighting that make rooms easier to use.

  • Panel upgrades

    If your panel is outdated, full or giving you trouble, a replacement gives your home room to grow.

  • Rewiring

    Older homes can carry wiring that wasn’t built for modern loads. We assess what you have and plan updates room by room if needed.

  • Backup power

    A standby generator keeps essentials running when storms knock out power.

Residential questions

Can you work in an older home?

Yes. Many homes in the Mid-Ohio Valley have wiring and panels from several different decades. We look at what’s there, explain what needs attention now and what can wait, and plan the work around your home.

Do I need a new panel to add circuits?

Not always. It depends on your panel’s capacity and how full it is. We’ll check both before recommending anything.

How do I get an estimate?

Call (304) 588-9682 or send the form on this page with a few details about the job. We’ll follow up to talk it through.
