Are estimates free?

Yes. Estimates are free. Call or send the form with a few details and photos if you have them.

How soon can you come out?

It depends on the season and the size of the job. Call or send a request and we'll give you the next available dates.

Do you clean up after the job?

Yes. We leave your home as clean as we found it.

TV Mounting & Home Theater

Can you mount a TV over a fireplace?

Yes. Over-the-fireplace installs are one of our most common jobs. We pick the right mount for the wall and run the wiring inside the wall so the cords are hidden.

Can you mount a TV on stone or brick?

Yes. We mount on stone, brick, drywall and built-ins using the right anchors for each surface.

Can you hide the TV wires in the wall?

In most cases, yes. We run the cables inside the wall and usually add a recessed outlet behind the TV so nothing hangs down.

Do you install projectors and home theaters?

Yes. We mount projectors and screens, wire in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, and set up soundbars and receivers.

Do I need to supply the TV mount?

You can supply your own, or we can recommend and bring the right mount for your TV and wall.

Smart Home & Cameras

Can you install a smart thermostat?

Yes. We install smart and programmable thermostats and make sure the wiring supports them.

Do you install security cameras and video doorbells?

Yes. We install indoor and outdoor cameras, video doorbells and intercoms, and set them up on your phone.

Can you install equipment I already bought?

Usually, yes. Tell us the brand and model when you reach out and we'll confirm before the visit.

Lighting

Can you add recessed lighting to an existing ceiling?

Yes. We use remodel fixtures and fish the wiring through the ceiling to keep patching to a minimum.

What is low-voltage landscape lighting?

Outdoor lighting powered through a transformer that lowers your home's voltage. It's efficient, safe around gardens and walkways, and easy to expand later.

Do you install permanent or color-changing house lights?

Yes. We install permanent exterior lighting that can change colors for holidays and events.

Golf Simulators & Mini-Splits

Do you install golf simulators?

Yes. We assemble the enclosure and screen, mount and align the projector, hook up the launch monitor and computer, and run the power.

How much space does a golf simulator need?

It depends on the system and your swing, especially ceiling height. Send us your room measurements and the system you're considering and we'll let you know if it fits.

Do you install ductless mini-splits?

Yes. We help choose the location, mount the unit cleanly and install the dedicated electrical circuit it needs.

Home Electrical

Are you a full-service electrician?

Yes. We do all things electrical for homes: panels and upgrades, new circuits, outlets and switches, lighting, ceiling fans, remodel wiring, troubleshooting, repairs and more.

Do you do small electrical jobs?

Yes. Adding an outlet, swapping a fixture or fixing a switch is no problem. Call or send a request.

Do you do wiring for renovations and additions?

Yes. We handle rough-in wiring, panels, new circuits and finish work for kitchens, bathrooms, basements and additions.
