Question 10

Can you do electrical work?

Yes.

For major electrical projects requiring a licensed electrician's permit, we are happy to coordinate with a licensed electrician on your behalf through our project coordination service.

Question 11

What is the Circuit Legend service?

The Circuit Legend service is our specialty electrical panel labeling service. Many homes — especially older ones — have circuit breaker panels with missing, incorrect, or illegible labels. We systematically test every circuit in your home and create a clear, accurate, laminated legend for your panel. This is a safety improvement and a huge convenience during emergencies or renovations. We offer two tiers: Circuit Legend Basic ($149 for up to 20 circuits) and Circuit Legend Premium ($249 for 21–40 circuits).

Yes. Keith has experience with hot water heater installation including tankless (on-demand) systems. We can work around plumber schedules for coordination jobs. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

Question 14

What is specialty low-voltage lighting?

Accepted Answer

Specialty low-voltage lighting refers to 12V and 24V lighting systems used for landscape, pathway, deck, and decorative outdoor lighting. These systems are energy-efficient, safe (low shock risk), and create beautiful effects around your home's exterior. We design and install complete systems including transformers, wiring, and fixtures.

Question 15

How much does landscape lighting installation cost?

Accepted Answer

Landscape lighting costs vary based on the number of fixtures, the size of the area, and the complexity of the design. A basic pathway lighting system for a front walkway might start around $300–$500 installed. A full perimeter or accent lighting system for a larger property will be more. We provide free quotes — contact us to schedule a walkthrough.
