Honest home retrofits, done right the first time.

Two decades in the trade. I specialize in retrofit replacements — swapping what you already have for something better. Careful, professional work, name-brand parts, no shortcuts.

20+ years in the trade Honest, transparent pricing Name-brand parts Free quotes

Transparent labor pricing. Parts at honest cost.

No hidden markups, no surprise fees. You're hiring a professional with 20+ years in the trade — pricing reflects the experience and attention to detail you can expect.

Step 1

Flat-rate labor

Every service has a clear, fixed labor price. No hourly meter, no surprises. You see the cost before I start.

Step 2

Parts: your choice

Bring your own parts and save, or I'll pick up exactly what you need at receipt cost + 20% — covers my time and gas, no padding.

Step 3

Itemized receipt

Every job comes with a clean invoice showing labor and parts separately. Nothing hidden. Most jobs paid in person before I leave.

Most-requested retrofit bundles.

Save real money by combining replacements into one visit. Labor-only pricing — parts handled separately (your choice: bring your own, or I'll supply at cost + 20%). Want a different combination? Just ask — you can mix any à la carte items into your own package.

Retrofit only. All pricing below covers like-for-like replacements where existing wiring, boxes, and openings are already in place. New circuits, new outlets where none existed, or new wire runs require a licensed electrical contractor — I'm happy to refer you to one.

  • Flickering, buzzing, or dimming issues
