Our clients were the inspiration behind KC Handyman, a division of Kaufman Construction formed in 2004. In some industries, you never hear from your clients again once a job is finished. Fortunately, that wasn’t our experience. Our clients stayed in touch with us long after their remodeling projects were completed. In fact, many of them trusted us to tackle other jobs in their homes, ranging from repairing leaky roofs to installing new kitchen cabinets and countertops. We realized that it made sense to start a service that offered an alternative to the Design-Build, fixed price approach offered by Kaufman Construction. KC Handyman was created to handle smaller projects that require skill and craftsmanship but don’t need the same oversight as a major renovation. The talented handymen who work for KC Handyman take care of large and small repairs, maintenance and renovation projects for homeowners and businesses. Clients pay an hourly rate and are responsible for directing the work of the handymen. We handle anything from minor around the house items to more in depth repairs such as siding repairs/replacements, plumbing, electrical, drywall and painting, etc.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Des Moines, homeowners often overlook permit requirements, skip AFCI protection in bedrooms, or use improper outlet spacing. Failing to install tamper-resistant outlets in child-accessible areas and neglecting proper grounding are also frequent errors. According to the Des Moines Permit and Development Center, these mistakes can result in failed inspections or safety risks. Always follow local code and consult a licensed electrician for guidance.

Helpful?

After completing electrical projects in Des Moines, regular maintenance is key. Test GFCI outlets monthly, and inspect your breaker panel every six months for signs of corrosion or loose connections. Annual professional inspections are encouraged by the Des Moines Permit and Development Center. Keeping detailed records of permits and inspections helps with future home sales and ensures ongoing compliance with local electrical codes.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in Des Moines, use NM-B (Romex) wiring for interior concealed runs and metal-clad cable for exposed areas, as recommended by the Des Moines electrical code. Install GFCI and AFCI protection where required, and use EMT conduit in garages or unfinished spaces. For outdoor installations, select weather-resistant fixtures and tamper-resistant outlets to meet local safety standards set by the Permit and Development Center.

Helpful?

In Des Moines, DIY electrical projects may save on labor costs for minor repairs, but city regulations require permits and inspections even for small jobs. Mistakes can lead to failed inspections or safety hazards. Hiring a licensed local electrician ensures compliance with the Des Moines electrical code and reduces liability. For complex projects or panel work, professional expertise is strongly recommended by the Iowa Electrical Examining Board.

Helpful?

In Des Moines, most electrical projects require an electrical permit from the Des Moines Permit and Development Center before work begins. This includes service upgrades, installing new circuits, or major rewiring. All work must comply with the National Electrical Code and local amendments. Inspections are mandatory at key stages, and fees vary by project scope. Always consult the Permit and Development Center for current requirements and ensure your contractor is licensed.
