I am a licensed City of Rochester Master Electrician. Ellenwood Electric is a small 2-man operation, with offices in my home. I have been in business for over 25 years. Our specialty is residential troubleshooting, repairs, service upgrades and addition of new plugs, lighting and etc. "We Do It Without Shorts"

"A prompt response by Mark Ellenwood created a comprehensive, well-reasoned plan that also required coordination with the local utility and a tree trimming service. A fixed price was agreed and a tentative schedule presented. Ellenwood Electric coordinated the entire process . The 2 young men who performed the electrical work were skilled, competent, and courteous. Their work was praised by both the utility company personnel and the Ispector. And all work was completed for the exact agreed price."

"My kitchen remodel turned out beautifully. The design was unique, thoughtful, and used great colors with attention to detail. The backsplash is amazing and he really went out of his way to help us choose unique touches that made the space feel special. My contractor was conscientious and listened to our needs throughout the process. When there were delays he made up for them with thoughtful upgrades which we truly appreciated. He was professional, pleasant, and collaborative every step of the way. The result is both functional and stunning and I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work and a contractor who truly cares."

Subcontractors questions, answered by experts

In most cases, a contractor will ask you for a deposit that is a percentage of the total cost of your job, but you should never pay in full before work has begun. The up-front cost could be as much as 50%, or you might give a contractor as little as 10% up front. Discuss payment terms with your contractor before they begin the job to avoid surprises.

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

Depending on your structure, you may not need planning permission. Major excavation, anything that changes the external appearance of your home, or any construction that will affect your neighbors will need planning permission. However, no planning permission is required if you’re just converting an existing space into a root cellar.

Yes, you can finance new construction using a construction loan or a construction-to-permanent loan, or you can use a home equity line of credit or a cash-out refinance if you’re building a second home. Some mortgagors may have restrictions on DIY house builds, so be sure to check that you can get financing before starting your project.

The requirement for building permits varies by location, but most building departments will require permits for any changes to the structural components of a home. They’ll also require them for changes to the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components, as well as any permanent improvements to the land, including concrete patios or foundations for additions or outbuildings. You also might need permits for things like roof replacement and window replacement, depending on your local government.
