"They did a great job on my panel upgrade, fast, great quality and workmanship. Was responsive to setting up a time to come over for a quote. However it took 9 days and a few texts before I got my quote, and there was times were they were going to come and they didn?t show up. They did come the following week. The quote had some missing information that was discussed on the work being done, but that was taken care of. Good contractors are challenging to find, so I still appreciate this companies work. I recommend getting a few quotes from different contractors. I contacted a few locals from Facebook recommendations and those quotes did not work out. I ended using ANGI for a contractor."

My name is Scott Nelson. My company is called "SCOTT NELSON ELECTRIC"because I want my own name to be on every job we do. I have been in the electrical trade for over 25 years. I went to trade school school through "Associated Builders and Contractors Electrical Apprenticeship Training Program"(A.B.C.)shortly after completing high school.I am noticed by the "National Bureau of Apprenticeship Training"(N.B.A.T.)as a Journeyman Electrician. I worked for 14yrs. with contractors from the north shore,n.w. suburbs,and northern illinois. "QUALITY ELECTRICAL REPAIRS & INSTALLATIONS"is the best way to explain our service. We believe that being "neat & tidy"is one of the best ways of showing how much we respect our customers,and their homes.Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction.
"Nelson Electric is the best electrical contractor I’ve used in my thirty-eight years of owning and updating my homes. It is difficult to find an excellent contractor who is willing to take on a major remodeling project in old construction, and who handles it efficiently, cost-effectively, and with perfection. This time we were remodeling a 110 year-old bathroom. When we got down to the studs, joists, and rafters, the plans were worthless because of all the surprises. Unphased, the crew was able to trace every hidden wire to destination and source, re-route them as needed, install a new, larger, circuit breaker box, pull wire through neatly, clearly identify and label everything, and finish beautifully the lighting, overhead heating, floor heating, and exhaust fixtures, making for a beautiful bath. Thank you, Scott!"

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.
