How it works
- Text or call with your address and what is wrong.
- We confirm the flat rate and the travel to your address.
- Doug does the work at the confirmed price.
Tacoma's East Side, including the McKinley area, has mid-century homes, older bungalows and a mix of rentals and owner-occupied houses.
Mid-century homes around East Side / McKinley often have a mix of original and updated wiring, so we look at what a device is connected to before replacing it.
Many East Side houses have had a few owners and a few repairs, so we look at what was done before we price a new fixture or a leak.
