In Des Moines
Des Moines is a Puget Sound waterfront city with a marina, hillside homes and a mix of mid-century and newer housing.
Mid-century homes around Des Moines often have a mix of original and updated wiring, so we look at what a device is connected to before replacing it.
Des Moines homes on the bluff and near the water can be on slopes with long sewer runs, and salt air is hard on exposed fittings.

Questions
Is the price per outlet?
The posted price is for an outlet or switch replacement. If you have several, ask and we confirm the total first.
What if a new outlet does not fix it?
Then the cause is elsewhere on the circuit. That is electrical troubleshooting, with its own posted price.
When do I see the price?
Before the work starts. You get the number from us when you call, text or book, and we confirm it before we begin.
