"A great team of folks. Ryan was very responsive and able to complete our project in a timely manner. We would have appreciated a heads up on the rain gutter having the need of another contractor in the beginning, instead of the end of the project, when we felt the work was not what we were looking for."

We provide many services in the "handyman" category. There isn't many jobs we can't tackle. From residential maintenance to small engine repair and anything in-between. We take value and in what we do and always have pride in the results of our work. We operate with a small circle, which creates a more personable but professional environment with our customers.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Electrical codes require GFCI outlets in areas where ground faults are more common, usually around water. That includes garages, kitchen counters, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements. All of these require at least one GFCI outlet in the room, and some codes require every outlet in a specific area to be GFCI.

On average, the cost to wire a new home ranges from $2 to $5 per square foot. The cost to rewire a house is around the same, ranging from $2 to $4 per square foot. Often, though, new wiring comes with lower overall costs since it’s much easier to access a home’s foundation. 

Wiring can last anywhere from 50 to 70 years, but all kinds of mishaps can occur that reduce the lifespan of your electrical wiring, including severe weather conditions, pests, and even faulty wiring. Keeping a preventative maintenance scheduling and hiring an electrician for an annual electrical inspection will keep your wiring system around for as long as possible.

There are several indications of an overloaded electrical panel, such as frequent circuit breaker tripping, burn marks, or flickering or dimming lights.

If you’re observing any warning signs, turn the circuit breaker off, then shift some devices from the overloaded circuit to a different one. If there are still signs of overload after turning the circuit break back on, contact a professional electrician to help you fix the issue.

Breakers are designed to trip and be reset, so there’s no countdown to when it will malfunction. The danger lies in a break tripping multiple times in a row without—well, a break. The breaker and the wires need time to cool down after an overload. Multiple tripping in short succession exacerbates the problem that breakers are preventing, overheating the electrical components and causing damage. That damage can extend to the breaker itself, so a breaker that trips a lot in a short timespan may trip accidentally afterward.
