You should know what you are paying for.
Electrical repairs can be confusing when you do not work with wiring every day. We do not expect you to know what a breaker, circuit, or GFCI should do. We do expect ourselves to explain what we find.
We want our customers to understand the reason for the work, what is included, and what might change after an inspection. That conversation should happen before chargeable work begins, not after you see an unexpected total.
What a clear quote should cover.
The exact details depend on the job. For an outlet replacement, the scope may be simple. For a panel issue or a new dedicated circuit, more information may be needed.
01 / The job
What are we repairing, installing, or checking?
02 / The scope
The parts of the project included in the proposed work.
03 / Materials
Any important equipment, allowances, or customer-selected fixtures.
04 / Labor
What the work involves, including any necessary troubleshooting.
05 / Permits
Whether permits or inspections appear necessary and how they affect the job.
06 / Your approval
The proposed price and the next step if the scope needs to change.
An estimate is not the same as a final scope.
An estimate is a starting price based on what we know before we see the full situation. Photos can help, but they do not always show what is behind the wall or inside an electrical panel.
A written quote describes a more specific scope and price, along with its assumptions and terms. If we discover something different, we talk through the options and ask for approval before expanding the work.
We explain any troubleshooting charges, permit costs, or other relevant pricing details before proceeding.
Needed repair or optional upgrade?
If a repair is needed for safety or proper operation, we will explain why. If something is simply a convenience upgrade, like adding a dimmer or another outlet, you should know that too.
Our goal is not to turn one loose outlet into a list of unrelated upgrades. We want you to understand what matters, what can wait when appropriate, and what choices you have.
We also try to respond quickly to inquiries and keep scheduling simple. Actual appointment availability depends on the work already booked.
A few things you might be wondering.
Can I get an estimate before booking?
Tell us about the project and share photos if you have them. Some jobs can be discussed from a description, while others need an on-site look before we can give a reliable price.
Will I know the price before work starts?
We aim to explain the proposed scope and pricing before chargeable work begins, including any troubleshooting fees when applicable.
What if you find another electrical problem?
We will explain what we found and discuss the options and pricing before moving ahead with additional work.
Do you charge for troubleshooting?
Some diagnostic work requires chargeable time. We will explain the applicable charge before scheduling or starting that work.
Can I buy my own ceiling fan or fixture?
Often, yes. Send us the product details and photos of the existing location so we can check what may be needed.
Have a project in mind?
Describe what you need, and we will help you figure out the next step. Small jobs are welcome.
