What we do during a visit
Electrical focused on small to medium projects
Small electrical projects that keep lights, switches, and outlets working properly without the disruption of a major rewire. Ideal for fixture swaps, device replacements, and simple troubleshooting.
Electrical visits are built around a focused punch list so the most important items can be completed safely and efficiently in a single visit whenever possible. Related tasks in the same area of the home are grouped together so more gets done without multiple trips.
Typical projects
Typical electrical projects
Projects that stay within your existing wiring and panel, with easy access and a clear scope. Larger rewiring, new circuits, and panel upgrades are typically referred to a dedicated electrical contractor.
Lighting upgrades
- • Replace outdated ceiling fixtures with new flush-mount or semi-flush lights
- • Swap old incandescent fixtures for LED fixtures where wiring is already in place
- • Install or replace basic bath vanity lights and entry lights
- • Change out existing switches for dimmers where compatible
Switches, dimmers, and outlets
- • Replace worn or noisy switches with new standard devices
- • Install tamper-resistant or decor-style outlets in place of older devices
- • Swap existing outlets for GFCI devices where required and wiring allows
- • Replace cracked or discolored wall plates for a cleaner look
Small troubleshooting and safety tweaks
- • Investigate flickering at a single fixture or device
- • Tighten loose devices that have started to move in the box
- • Label switches and controls so they are easier to understand
- • Upgrade exposed extension cord set-ups to safer, code-aware solutions where feasible
Pricing and scheduling
How pricing works for electrical visits
Electrical visits are scheduled in blocks of time so there is room to safely shut off circuits, verify connections, and test devices before we leave.
Pricing depends on access, ceiling height, and how many fixtures or devices we can group into one visit. Swapping several fixtures or devices in the same area is usually more cost-effective than doing them one at a time.
Major work such as new circuits, panel changes, whole-house rewiring, or trenching for exterior power is outside the scope of a handyman visit. If your project turns out to be larger than expected, we can recommend when to involve a licensed electrical contractor.

Questions from homeowners
Frequently asked questions about electrical visits
A few common questions that come up when homeowners request electrical help. If you do not see your question here, you can always add it to your estimate request.
Can you replace light fixtures and ceiling fans?
Yes, as long as there is an existing, properly supported electrical box and the new fixture is a safe match for the location. Very heavy fixtures or fans on tall ceilings may require a different type of contractor or lift equipment.
Do you work on electrical panels or run new circuits?
No. Main service panels, subpanels, new circuits, and service upgrades should always be handled by a licensed electrical contractor. Our focus is on small, accessible projects within existing circuits.
Do I need to provide the fixtures and devices?
Most homeowners prefer to choose their own fixtures and devices so they match the rest of the home. If you would like suggestions, we can point you toward common options that work well in small projects.
