"An appliance serviceman had difficulty with a connection problem and thought it might be the result of a faulty circuit breaker. He suggested that I get an electrician to come in to check it out. When electrician is mentioned, only one name comes to mind: Dave Nagel. I called him and he came out the next day. I've used him for various problems several times now. And he came through again, as usual. He checked the circuit breaker box and found nothing wrong. Then he asked where my GFI switches were. I showed him. He found that one to be okay. But he insisted that there had to be another one. He looked around and could not find one. Then he said, "Could you move that coffee maker?" I did and there it was. And that was the problem--it had tripped. But still he was not satisfied. He said that there was something wrong. One receptacle was not connected to the GFI that it should logically be connected to. He said that it would be a good idea to get a GFI for that one. I said okay and he went to get one. He returned with the part and quickly installed it. Just a tip for anyone who would like to use his services: Because he is so busy, it may take more than one phone call to contact him. Be persistent. It is worth it. I wouldn't use anyone else."

"Robert from V&G Construction transformed my 2B2B condo with exceptional skill and professionalism. Recommended by a friend, he expertly guided me through every step of the remodeling process, from securing permits to selecting materials and paint colors. Despite my initial reservations about remodeling, Robert's straightforward approach made it far more manageable. His practical advice proved invaluable, and he consistently exceeded my expectations with his work. Robert's craftsmanship is truly top-notch, evident in every detail of the finished project. One standout moment was when he and his team efficiently rearranged my pantry and refrigerator to accommodate the dimensions of the new fridge I purchased. Their quick action and attention to detail ensured a seamless transition, and I couldn't be happier with the result. Not only am I thrilled with the outcome of my condo, but several neighbors who witnessed the transformation have also expressed interest in hiring Robert for their own projects. His reputation for excellence precedes him, and I wholeheartedly endorse V&G Construction to anyone in need of remodeling assistance."

General Contractor specializing in remodels and additions. We also do small projects and repairs. We have a crew that can draw on a very broad skill base.

"This is my second time working with Mike after a previous bathroom/laundry room renovation in our old house. During the pandemic we decided to buy a larger home in Alameda in our desired neighborhood. What we initially thought would be a substantial renovation of a 1915 “fixer upper” home ended up being a complete gut. I interviewed a number of contractors that either refused to bid, gave us disingenuously high bids, or were booked out for the year. I'd kept in touch with Mike and asked if he would bid. Although a complete home renovation is larger than his usual projects of kitchens/bathroom remodels he agreed and I’m so thankful he was willing to take on our project. Prior to the interior renovation starting he was able to provide us with excellent recommendations for foundation and roofing contractors. Once the interior renovation began, he created a detailed schedule for keeping the work on track. He seamlessly scheduled specialized vendors (painting, stucco, heating system, etc) to work in tandem with his team. He spent time getting multiple bids for many aspects of the project to make sure they were within budget. He could have shrugged and said “it costs what is costs” but exercised due diligence to make sure we were getting a good value. Much of the detail work he oversaw and did himself and as others have noted he is onsite every day. He is excellent at troubleshooting and has a great aesthetic sense and an eye for detail. If something didn’t look right or he wasn’t happy with how a vendor had done something, he would redo it himself. Mike stands behind his work and I know I can still reach out to him if something goes wrong or to get his opinion. After living in the house for awhile, it's normal to notice things that can use some tweaking. Mike has come back to make those little adjustments that make a big difference, and is always generous with his time. I cannot recommend him enough and would absolutely hire him again in the future."

Troubleshooting, replacement of receptacles and switches, replacement of old and installation of new electrical wiring, replacement of any fixtures, installation of new fixtures, replacement of breakers, replacement of subpanels and installation of new ones, installation of any EV chargers, connection of hot tubs and saunas, and much more

Lighting questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of a pool light depends on the type, but thankfully, these lights are designed to last a long time before they need to be replaced. LED bulbs last the longest, about 20,000 to 30,000 hours, while incandescent bulbs last the shortest amount of time, about 1,000 to 5,000 hours. Fiber optic pool lights will last around 6,000 hours.

You can take a few steps to prolong the life of your holiday lights. Make sure to replace burnt-out bulbs as quickly as possible to avoid overloading the rest of the circuit and knocking out more lights. Before packing them up each year, plug each strand into the wall to confirm everything is still working. Wrap the lights carefully back into their original packaging or something similar—winding a strand tightly together or leaving it to hang loose in a storage bin can lead to frayed or damaged wiring. 

The requirements for outdoor lighting will vary depending on the type of light, where it’s located on the exterior of your home, and your local electrical code. Lights that come into contact with water (i.e. pool lights) will need to be on a GFCI, for instance. That being said, it’s safest to have any outdoor light on GFCI because of the risk of moisture. A pro can give you more specific information for your unique circumstances.

If you’ve gone through the troubleshooting checklist for your motion detector flood light and it’s still not working, it’s time to consider a new one. Older models that need frequent fixes can be unreliable. Newer flood lights feature advanced technology that improves your lights’ sensitivity and overall performance. If you’re fed up with unexpected darkness, investing in a new light can give you the lighting you need to feel secure.

If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.
