I have over 40 years of electrical experience. I do quality electrical work at reasonable prices. I accept cash, check, or credit card.
I always enjoy meeting new people and assisting them with their electrical needs. I install lighting, new circuits (including EVs & Hot tubs), ceiling fans, outlets, and GFCI's. I also install video door bells such as Nest and Ring. Just ask if you need something not listed.

Doug was a class act! He assisted with numerous electrical issues and explained each issue in detail along the way. 10/10 would recommend and patronize again!
Doug went right to work to identify the problem. He thoroughly checked all areas that could be causing the electrical break and explained his reasoning along the way. Once he discovered the root of the problem, he remedied it immediately. He was prepared with the necessary tools, and was friendly and professional. I will definitely rely on his expertise in the future should the need arise.

I've been using Thumbtack for over a year now for various house projects. I requested electrical help such as restoring function in multiple overhead lights and replacing old ivory-colored power outlets with white USB to match the newly installed trim. Doug was prompt in reaching out to me with my request as well as providing his rates, which seemed fare. The week I had requested work wasn't the most flexible as I would only be able to be available in the evenings but Doug informed me he could meet up around my schedule. Doug arrived on time and ready to work. He did a great job fixing and repairing everything in a timely manner. His pricing was also straight forward and fair.
