I offer complete home remodeling and repair. I take pride in every detail and making sure things are done correctly the first time. Your home is your sanctuary and needing work done and repairs made shouldn't be a reason for stress. Life happens and things need attention from time to time. I try to make the home owner feel comfortable and give the confidence that things can be fixed properly and they can resume with their normal routine.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Canless lights are often better for modern homes due to their slim design, easier installation, and energy efficiency. They fit in tight spaces and require less ceiling depth. Can or recessed lights provide a more traditional look and are better for high ceilings or spaces needing a stronger, more focused light. They require more installation work and ceiling space. 

Ultimately, the choice depends on your needs: opt for canless lights for easy installation and energy savings, or choose can lights for a classic look and robust lighting in larger areas.

Under-cabinet lighting offers excellent energy efficiency compared to ceiling lighting, especially when making the switch from halogen to LED lights. Whether it’s strip lights, puck lights, or built-in lights, these bulbs typically consume less energy while delivering powerful and effective illumination. This eco-friendly lighting solution ensures optimal brightness while reducing energy consumption and operating costs.

Yes, California law requires that electricians be licensed by the state in order to do electrical work. However, there is an exception for small jobs valued at $500 or less. In these cases, an unlicensed handyperson is legally allowed to do the work. Limit hiring unlicensed contractors to minor tasks and fixes around your home.

You can convert a gas heater to electric, but it isn’t as simple as swapping a plug or two. First of all, you need to make sure there’s adequate power to the unit, as electric units require much higher power amounts versus gas. Then, you need to close off the gas lines and ventilation. Make sure you don’t also need a permit for an electric water heater—some cities require it. Making the switch can cost upwards of $1,500.
