Common questions
Trees took down our service line in the last storm. What is your role versus the utility's?
The utility owns and repairs the wires from the pole to your house. The attachment hardware, the mast, the meter socket, and everything from there into the panel belong to the homeowner, and that is the part we repair. After tree damage those two scopes usually both need attention, and we coordinate our repair with the utility's reconnect so power is restored in one sequence instead of two visits.
We have a 1930s house here. Where would you even start?
With a walkthrough and a written map of what the house actually has, because homes from this era often carry three generations of wiring at once: original circuits, 1960s additions, and a 1990s kitchen. We document the panel, the wiring types, and the grounding, then quote the work in priority order. You get a plan you can execute over a few years instead of one overwhelming number.
