We specialize in those projects not large enough for frame to finish builders and too big for the average handyman, like kitchen and bath renovations, decks and porches, heat pump installations, tile work and cabinetry just to name a few. Diversity and experience are the benchmarks of our success. Decades of trades work leads to refined skills from conception and design to intricate finishes. I spent years as an electrician before advancing into general contracting and whole home renovations. This allows me to handle all tasks on any given project rather than involving multiple costly sub-contractors. We take pride in the level of communication and involvement given to our customers, empowering them to be involved and make informed choices leading to the upmost satisfaction with the final product. Quality and attention to detail never waiver in our approach to contracting, simply put we will not cut corners to cover cost. Customer satisfaction is the most important metric by which we measure successful outcomes. My father tought me the trades and his father taught him so the tradition of Mainers helping neighbors and being accountable are values deeply ingrained in my work and way of life. Let us help you get your "to do".....done. -Carpentry -Electrical -Plumbing -Renovations -Heat pumps (mini-splits) -Kiitchens (including custom countrrtops in any finish, custom cabinetry, tile and even design -Baths -Decks, porches, patios and hardscapes -Painting -Drywall -Repairs - as well as all other services you may need !

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The most common reason a GFCI outlet would trip even when nothing is plugged in is if there’s a problem at the circuit breaker end. This could be an overloaded circuit, with too many appliances plugged into it, or another type of fault. If a GFCI outlet keeps tripping, it can also be because it is faulty and needs replacing.

If you find yourself flicking the switch multiple times before your light comes on or if it slides down after you flip it on, these could be signs the switch is bad. Similarly, if the switch is making a crackling, buzzing, or popping sound when you flip it, you should consider replacing it. 

Sometimes, a bad light switch can present a fire or shock hazard. If the switch feels hot, sparks, smells like it’s burning, or is smoking, stop using it immediately and call an electrician.

That depends on your setup. If a circuit breaker already has GFCI protection, then everything connected to that specific circuit is being monitored. You don’t need additional GFCI outlets on that breaker.

However, if the breaker is not GFCI, then you should have GFCI receptacles for at-risk outlets nearby water sources, because they are not receiving protection. Breakers in a breaker box can vary between GFCI and non-GFCI. Look for GFCI labels on the breaker or try to find the breaker model number to look it up if you aren’t sure.

Outlets with only two slots have no ground connection. That’s more common on very old outlets, which means it’s more likely the outlet won’t be polarized. You’ll have to closely examine the slots to see if there’s a size difference indicating polarization. Keep in mind outlets this old are usually out of code and should be replaced if you’re doing any electrical work.

Choosing a unit with higher BTUs can use more electricity if the BTUs are more than what’s necessary for your room size. However, choosing an AC with BTUs that match the size of your room or house, your unit will cool your space efficiently. On the flip side, choosing a system with not enough BTUs can cause the system to work harder to try to cool the space, leading to more electricity consumption and higher energy bills.
