161 Cameron Paving did a great job installing a double asphalt driveway at my home. Estimation process was quick and efficient, crew showed up on time and worked hard all day. Post work instructions were clear and concise. I will definitely use their services for ongoing maintenance.
Cameron Paving, Inc.Awful experience. The sales rep kept asking if this was a company we wanted to work with in between his cheesy sales pitch — in hindsight, the answer should’ve been no. Installers left gutters short on both ends with big holes, the local office ignores calls, and customer service told us to...

Eastern Maine DrainageEmergency repair needed on two smoke alarms that are wired into the home’s electrical unit. Mr Lawson was prompt in his arrival. He is very professional and courteous. He truly loves his job and it shows with his work.

"I’ve been living through a full-blown renovation nightmare, and the one bright spot in it all has been my electrician. From day one, he has been professional, reliable, and consistently the most dependable person I’ve worked with during this entire process. He shows up when he says he will, takes the time to explain what’s going on in a way that makes sense, and his work has been nothing short of top-notch. When everything else in a renovation feels chaotic, having someone you can truly count on makes all the difference. If you’re looking for an electrician who actually cares about the quality of their work and their customers, look no further. This is the kind of professional you want on your side."

The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features.

Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate.
Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
An accredited, licensed smart home specialist should install your home automation system. For example, a qualified smart home specialist will belong to an organization like the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association. Licenses for qualified technicians require the technician to demonstrate experience and pass state testing. If you’re ready to install a home automation system, consult multiple technicians in your area to compare services and prices and find the best fit for your job.
The average cost of a home automation system is around $950, but typically ranges from $200 to $1,700, depending on the brand, system features, system size, home size, and location. The highest-end home automation systems can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $150,000, including smart appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, and ovens that require installing extensive wiring. Any subscriptions for maintenance services will also impact the cost of a home automation system.
