What we do in your house
Residential work only, priced one job at a time. Three of the jobs people ask about most have their own pages.
Outlets, switches and GFCIs
Dead outlets, loose switches, two-prong receptacles and the GFCI that won't reset.

Fixtures, recessed lights, dimmers and ceiling fans, hung and wired, with the old fixture taken away.

Older houses
Built before 1970? Ask us what is behind the walls
Plenty of Albany-area houses have the original fuse box, two-prong outlets or cloth-covered cable somewhere. None of that is an emergency by itself. We tell you what we see, in what order we'd fix it and what each step costs, and you decide.
Common finds
A fuse box still running the whole house
Outlets with no ground wire
Cloth-covered cable at a switch or fixture
Too few circuits for a modern kitchen
Questions about the work
Do you do commercial work?
No. We work in homes, condos and small rental units. If you manage a building, call and we'll say whether a job fits.
Do you do new construction?
Not new houses. We do additions, finished basements and the electrical that goes with a remodel, when your contractor wants one crew for it.
Do you install EV chargers or generators?
Not as a specialty. Ask when you call and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right people.
How do I know which service page applies to me?
You don't need to. Describe what is happening on the booking form and the person who calls you back will sort it out.
Not sure what you need?
Tell us what you noticed. We'll book a visit and tell you what it is.
