"I was very pleased with the work that Nick did in my home. He replaced all the outlets in my home which took a longer time then he expected, then stayed and checked our garage 's wiring to make sure it was safe. Nick was amazing at explaining what he was doing along the way and answering any questions we had. We would highly recommend him!"

"Everything went wonderfully with this company.  They were very professional, listened to exactly what my problem was, and explained to me how they were going to diagnose the problem and/or solve it before doing any actual work.  Once they started, the team (three people came) worked together like a well-oiled machine.  One was in the room with diagnostics, one was at the fuse box looking for possible problems there, and the third went into the crawlspace beneath our house to look at the physical wiring.  Once the problem was found (there was a faulty wire beneath the house that had come loose from the junction box), it was fixed and tested within minutes and another full diagnostic was done to make sure there were no other possible issues.  They cleaned up after themselves very neatly.  They also replaced the light switch with a dimmer switch at no extra cost!  Well within my budget, and came in even lower than their original (FREE) estimate!  I would highly recommend this company to anyone in the Bergen County area.

"My husband and I absolutely love our new home. We hired Bellevue Builders Co. to do a complete gut and renovation on our summer home in Yarmouth. The result far surpassed our expectations. The quality of work was top notch and the pricing was very fair along with the experience that Larry gave us from start to finish. He was so friendly and it was obvious that he really wanted to make sure that we got exactly what we were asking for. On top of that he did give us some great design ideas as well. We give Bellevue Builders .Co an A+ and will surely be hiring them again in the future."

"On all of the replacements or repairs there was a time period of 1 -3 weeks for the repairman. They were all professional . You have to read the contract , I missed the electric part and had to pay for it myself so read your warranty ."

"We needed electrical service re- established at an existing work site (pedestal and enclosure). Owner seemed a bit informal with the quotation - I had to insist on a written quote, and when it was provided, was a one line quote that didn’t break down materials or labor. They didn’t start the work until last minute ( but that may have been due to weather). It seemed that their customer service can use some more attention. They did acceptable quality, but we will probably look for different contractor when we need all the other work to be done on the new house."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Skowhegan, ME

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.
