You can depend on us to provide a high quality service at a fair and honest price. We understand that the future of our business depends upon our reputation and that is why customer service is by far our highest priority. If you are looking for a professional you can trust, please call today to schedule a no-obligation estimate!

"Paul was professional and very meticulous. Initially he came to my home to view the project and gave me a free estimate for the work to be done. I got on his schedule, and he was prompt in his arrival to include calling me once he was about 20 minutes from my house. Paul removed an old vanity light, skillfully patched up the hole and prepped the wall to install two new vanity lights in different locations. By doing this, he had to run two additional lines behind the drywall to provide power for the two vanity lights. The two vanity lights were precisely marked and placed evenly over each mirrow and sink. Paul also removed a wall outlet from the front wall, patched that hole and installed a new wall outlet on the side wall to make the vanity area look the same on both sides of each sink. The new side wall outlet required Paul to enter the crawl space to run a dedicated line up to it. Once all work was complete, everything thing was tested to ensure it was in excellent operating condition and safe. The area was cleaned including the counter space and the floor insuring nothing was left behind for a job well done. My next electrical job, I will definitely call Paul Higginbotham."

"Negligent and cost well over $10,000 in damage to my home. I hired Love Plumbing to replace my drain system and they did not connect my kitchen sink. It took me 4 months to realize I had a flood of sewage in my crawlspace. Love Plumbing swore up and down they would make it right and repair the damage but after they brought a cleaning company out, they realized how much damage they caused and stopped talking to me after that."

Electrical wiring or panel upgrades FAQs

Installing electrical service to a detached garage costs between $1,000 and $3,800, with the exact price depending on your specific requirements and the distance from your home. This project may include a subpanel installation if you need multiple circuits or higher capacity. The complexity of your electrical needs, the garage's intended use, and your location all influence the total investment required for a properly installed and code-compliant system.

Most local building departments require permits for electrical work connecting separate structures, with permit fees ranging from $25 to $200. Professional electricians are licensed to perform this type of work in most states, and they often handle the permit process as part of their service. Skipping required permits could potentially create issues with insurance coverage or future property transactions, making proper documentation an important consideration.

For safety and legal reasons, hiring a licensed electrician is highly recommended for connecting electrical service to a detached garage. Electrical work involving separate structures requires specialized knowledge of codes, proper materials, and safety protocols. While homeowners might handle certain aspects like trenching to save on costs, the actual electrical connections should be performed by qualified professionals to ensure safety, reliability, and compliance with local building regulations.

The timeline for installing electrical service to a detached garage spans from several days to a couple of weeks, depending on project complexity. The process includes planning, obtaining permits, trenching, electrical installation, and any necessary finishing work. Weather conditions, contractor availability, and permit processing times can all affect the overall schedule. Your electrician can provide a more specific timeline based on your property's unique characteristics and project requirements.

Underground electrical installations for detached garages tend to use conduit systems rather than direct burial cables, as conduit provides superior protection for the wiring. While specific installation methods may vary based on local codes and site conditions, professional electricians often recommend running electrical lines underground via conduit for detached structures. This approach helps ensure long-term durability and simplifies any future maintenance or modifications to the system.
