"Tree branch bent and ripped electrical lines from my house. After many, many phone calls Double U called me back and came out same day to inspect damage and determine exactly what they would need to repair the job. The company (Josh) kept in touch with me as we had to wait for the utility company to show up. Double U got everything fixed and even the utility company was very happy the way the work was done so that they could easily hook me up with power again. They were fast, efficient, friendly and explained everything fully so I really understood what was happening to my home."

"Elliott does great work for a great price. He installed a new 100 amp breaker box and updated some of the house wiring to accommodate the new service. He also wired the newly renovated basement with all the wiring and installed all the outlets, switches and drop ceiling LED lights that have dimmer capability. He is meticulous in what he does."

Watry LLC was a pleasure to work with. I purchased my house in late November 2014 knowing that the roof would need to be replaced. A few leaks showed up with this spring's snow melt. I called a few companies for estimates.  Scott Watry was very clear and straightforward when he came to do an estimate. No high-pressure sales tactics. Very clear about what materials were going to be used and about the warranty. Watry had the best price and the nearest available start date, so I went with them.

The initial estimate was that the roof would take one day. Due to unexpected structural oddities, the roof took a second day to complete. Scott Watry was very clear in communicating the reason why the project was taking longer than expected, and was clear in explaining that there would be an increase in the final cost. For the extra time and labor needed, the increased cost was very reasonable. The crew arrived on time each day and did excellent work. The flashings around all the valleys, the chimney, the plumbing vents and the skylight were all expertly done. Old, inefficient square vents were removed in favor of ridge venting along all ridges. The project was done in 40 degree weather, but the shingles laid down very quickly, which points to the quality of work the crew did. Scott Watry promised his crew would use six nails per shingle, which is exactly what they did. Along with the quality of workmanship, they were very thorough in their cleanup. I did not find any nails or bits of roofing material left behind after the first day or after the project was completed. The job involved the tearoff of two layers of very old shingles, along with flashings that were rusted through in many places. The fact that I could not find any mess left behind points to the care with which Watry Homes does their work.

All in all, I was very satisfied with Watry Homes LLC and would recommend them without reservation to anyone who needs to have a new roof installed.

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Franksville, WI

Yes, a licensed electrician is essential for this project. Running an electrical service from the road to your house involves connecting to utility power lines, complying with national and local electrical codes, and safely handling high-voltage systems. 

Licensed professionals understand proper wire sizing, grounding requirements, and voltage drop calculations needed for safe installation. Most jurisdictions require permits and inspections that only certified professionals can obtain. The safety risks and potential for property damage make this project inappropriate for DIY attempts.

Overhead installations are less expensive than underground options. For a 1000-foot run, overhead service costs between $8,000 and $15,000, while underground service ranges from $10,000 to $25,000. 

Overhead lines require less labor and fewer materials since they don't need trenching or conduit. However, underground lines offer better protection from weather events and aesthetic benefits. Your decision should balance your budget constraints with long-term reliability and visual preferences.

You might need to upgrade your electrical panel depending on your power requirements. If your existing panel cannot handle the additional load from the extended service, upgrading to a 200-amp service (costing $750 to $2,000) may be necessary. 

A licensed electrician can evaluate your current system and determine if an upgrade is required. Factors include what you'll be powering at the end of the line, existing electrical demand, and whether voltage drop over the distance will affect performance.

Running electric service from the road to a house requires electrical permits from your local building department, costing between $500 and $2,000 depending on your location. You may also need excavation permits for trenching work if installing an underground service. Your utility company will have its own application process for connecting to its grid. A licensed electrical contractor can handle all the necessary permit applications as part of their service, ensuring your installation meets all local code requirements.
