"I am a regular customer of Race Automotive due to their honesty, excellent workmanship and fair pricing. Ernie and his mechanics are top notch and very thorough. They pick up on small problems before they become expensive repairs. My 2010 Camry had a number of issues that needed to be addressed and after repairs were made, the car is running like new. I also recently had some work done on my 2004 Corolla with 220,000 miles on it. It too is now running like new again. I wouldn't consider taking my cars anywhere else for repairs and/or routine maintenance. If you give these folks a try, I think you'll be very pleased. <br />"

"Prompt response [within the hour] when I called to get an estimate and if could he take on this project. <br /> He offered options as how best to replace back door brick steps given the tightness of the space when cars were parked [the space allocated to parking and the size of the steps had led the previous owners to install steps which were too narrow plus substandard mortar had been used apparently causing the steps to fall apart].  New steps were the only practical solution since the old steps had been removed and cinder blocks had been used as temporary steps.  He built new steps which had the proper depth and height and increased the overall width of the steps making it safer and easier to enter or exit through the back door.  <br /> All of the foundation vents on the back side of the house were to varying degrees below ground level.  [During the recent floods water used those vents to flood underneath the house.]  Only some of the vents had some sort of brick wall around the vents and those that were there were not high enough to be effective.  He built new protective walls for two vents, he added additional height to four vents, and he built new protective walls for three vents on the end of the house. <br /> There are six front steps and in the fifty or so years of the house much of the mortar has disappeared.  Several bricks on the edges had come loose and three bricks at the top where the wrought iron railing was anchored had come loose.  The railing itself was very "wiggly".  The bottom row of bricks had an area where several bricks had begun to sag.  All of these issues were identified and he repaired and replaced bricks where needed. <br /> The quality of the work reflects on his attention to detail, his skill, and his professionalism.  Very reasonable cost.  He removed all construction debris. <br /> Will we use him in the future?  Absolutely!  We have already agreed on our next project [driveway repair and new walkway to front steps which will begin after the holidays.] <br />"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Chappells, SC

There is often some confusion about the type of work these professionals do. They only work on electrical systems such as outlets, lighting fixtures and electrical panels – they aren’t appliance repairmen.

There are three types of electricians: Master, Journeyman and Apprentice. Electrical licensing varies quite a bit by state. Some have licenses for apprentices and some do not. Some have a master’s rank while others stop at journeyman. Despite the differences, they all require a minimum amount of experience and usually classroom time.

  • Apprentice electricians aren’t usually licensed and spend 4 years learning the trade. Throughout that time, they work on a wide range of projects to learn to become a Journeyman. They’ll do basic work like installing fixtures and replacing outlets all the way to assisting in wiring a home. Regardless of the type of project, they must always be supervised by a Journeyman or Master electrician.

  • Journeymen work without supervision. In a few states, this is the highest level available and they can do all levels of work from wiring a new home to installing a light. In some states, they need a separate electrical contractor license to run a business. In places with a master’s level, a journeyman can do all work besides design new electrical systems.

  • Master electricians usually manage a shop, design new electrical systems in new construction and oversee both Journeyman and Apprentices. They typically bid new projects. Though they focus on larger projects, it’s not unheard of for a homeowner to request a Master Electrician for a house call. If you do, expect to spend up to 25% more for the visit.

Generally, you don’t tip electricians, but that’s not to say they don’t appreciate it if you do. You can offer them something to drink or eat, like coffee and donuts. Most will appreciate it if you do.

The education and certifications required to become an electrician vary by state, though they generally follow this list:

  1. Apprentice

    • Does not always require a license depending on the state.

    • Learns on the job under Journeyman and Master Electricians.

    • Usually needs 4 years on-the-job training before they can test for a Journeyman license. Many states also require a technical degree to advance.

    • Always require supervision.

  2. Journeyman

    • Needs between 8,000 to 10,000 hours of on-the-job training and usually 500 to 1,000 hours of classroom experience.

    • Can usually supervise apprentices.

    • They can diagnose and repair electrical problems.

  3. Master

    • Achieved after an additional two years (4,000 hours) working as a Journeyman and taking the Master Electrician Exam.

    • Besides diagnosing and repairing electrical systems, they also design them. In most places they run shops and inspect Journeyman and Apprentice work.

    • Not a recognized rank in all states.

  4. Electrical Contractor License is an optional license in some states for a Master Electrician to run a business. Some states have this instead of the Master license.

Electricians make an average of $26 per hour but it ranges with experience and licensing. An apprentice may make about half that while a Master Electrician may hit closer to $40 per hour. This figure represents how much they make; not how much they bill. Their salary is only one component of their costs. They must also figure in overhead, taxes, equipment, insurance and several other expenses.

Leave electrical work to the professionals. Electrical systems are complex and potentially hazardous when not handled and installed correctly. If it were easy, it wouldn’t take 4 years to become a journeyman or 6 years for a master’s license. If you are determined to forge ahead yourself, understand home electrical safety before beginning any project.Even for simple common electrical projects, a licensed pro is best. Not only is it safer, but contractors guarantee and insure their work. Hire a professional to keep your home’s electrical systems functioning properly and safely.
