The Small Stuff Done Clean

Outlets and switches are everywhere in a house and the small stuff adds up. A USB outlet by the bedside table. A smart switch on the porch light. A dimmer in the dining room. New outlets where the kitchen counter doesn't have enough.

Jay does these small jobs cleanly. Wire stripped clean, terminals torqued right, faceplate sitting flat on the wall. Looks like it was installed by someone who cared, because it was.

Common requests: outdoor outlets for Christmas lights or yard work, GFCI replacements in bathrooms and kitchens, dimmers for living rooms, smart switches that work with Alexa or Google Home.

Common Questions

Things People Ask About This Service

Code requires GFCI protection in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, basements, crawl spaces, outdoors, and within 6 feet of a sink. If your house is older and these areas have standard outlets instead of the ones with TEST and RESET buttons, you're behind code.

Some do, some don't. WiFi smart switches (Kasa, Wyze) work without a hub. Some Lutron systems require a Caseta hub. Z-Wave and Zigbee switches require a hub. Tell Jay what ecosystem you're using and he'll spec the right switch.

Yes. 3-way dimmers control one light from two locations. The wiring is more involved than a single pole dimmer but Jay does these regularly. Some 3-way smart switches require a specific neutral wire configuration. Jay will check your wiring before recommending a switch.

Yes, almost always quickly. Either the box itself is loose or the outlet's screws have backed out. Sometimes the box needs a spacer or a replacement. Easy fix.

Yes. Most common is adding outlets to a kitchen counter, a garage, or an outdoor area. Jay will figure out the best way to fish the wire and minimize wall damage.
