Wiring signed by the crew that did it
Panels, circuits, lights and repairs for homes across Hamilton County. Every job in our log has a neighborhood, a crew and a plain list of the work.
The job log
Recent jobs, by neighborhood and crew
Each card is one job: where it was, what we did and who was on it. We write the log after the work, not before.
Hixson100 amps to 200 on a white brick ranch
The old panel had no room left and the meter base had rusted at the seams. We replaced the panel, the meter base and the mast, and booked the power company for the shutoff and reconnect.
Crew: Aaron and Lashonda
Work: panel, meter base and mast
Permit: pulled by us
St. ElmoA 1920s bungalow, rewired room by room
Cloth-covered wire in the walls and two-prong outlets everywhere. We worked a room at a time so the family could keep living there, and left each plaster patch rough for their painter.
Crew: Aaron, Lashonda and Emmanuel
Work: new circuits, grounded outlets, smoke alarms
Left for you: drywall and paint
Highland ParkA fuse box, retired
Four screw-in fuses and a stack of extension cords. The new breaker panel has labeled circuits and room to add more, and the old fuse box went home with the owner.
Crew: Aaron and Emmanuel
Work: breaker panel, labeled circuits
Why: the buyer's inspection flagged it
East RidgeTwo meter bases on a duplex
One socket was cracked and the other had stopped holding the meter. We replaced both bases and the cable to the panels, and texted the tenants about when the power would be off.
Crew: Lashonda and Emmanuel
Work: two meter bases and the cable to each panel
Utility: reconnect booked by us
OoltewahA garage circuit for a car charger
A 240-volt line from the panel to the garage wall, sized to the capacity the panel had to spare. The owner chose and mounted the charger. We ran and tested the circuit.
Crew: Lashonda and Emmanuel
Work: one new 240-volt circuit
Not included: the charger
Signal MountainPorch lights, outdoor outlets and a fan
A bungalow porch with one dead light and no outlet outside. We added weatherproof outlets on a GFCI breaker, new lights on a switch and a damp-rated fan.
Crew: Aaron and Emmanuel
Work: porch lights, two outdoor outlets, one fan
Fixtures: picked by the owner
For families on the move
New to Chattanooga, or buying on a deadline?
Moves and closings come with short clocks. Send us the inspection report. We read it, tell you which findings matter and which are notes, and give you a written estimate for the ones that do.
Texted photos of the panel and meter are fine.
We say what can wait until after the move.
We work around your closing date when we can, and say so when we can't.
What we do
Six kinds of work, one crew
Most calls are one of these. Tell us what you see and we will say which it is.
A new panel, a new meter base, more capacity for a heat pump, a charger or an addition.
Breakers that trip, outlets that went dead, lights that flicker, a smell you can't place.
Fixtures, ceiling fans, GFCI and USB outlets, porch and yard lights.
Smoke and CO alarms
Hardwired alarms that talk to each other, in the rooms the code asks for.
Older-house wiring
Fuse boxes, cloth-covered wire, ungrounded outlets, one room or the whole house.
Charger and appliance circuits
A dedicated line for a car charger, a range, a dryer or a heat pump.
Text us a photo of your panel and meter

“Lashonda walked me through the new panel and labeled every breaker while I watched. I knew what each one did before they packed up.”

Questions
Before you call
Do I need a permit, and who pulls it?
For panels, new circuits and most rewiring, yes. We pull the permit and book the inspection, and the fee is its own line on your estimate. The city and the smaller towns around it have different rules, and we tell you which one applies to your address.
What does a visit cost, and does it come off the job?
We tell you the visit fee when you book. If you go ahead with the work, the fee comes off the job. The pricing page explains what changes the number.
Are you licensed and insured, and how do I check?
The license number is in the footer of every page, with a link to the state's lookup page. Ask Laurie for a certificate of insurance and she will send one.
Do you do emergency work?
No. We answer Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and book Saturdays by appointment. For fire, call 911. If it is safe, turn off the breaker, and call us when we open.
The home inspection flagged my wiring. What now?
Send us the report, or a photo of the page. We read it, tell you which findings matter and which are notes, and write an estimate for the ones that do.
How do I send photos?
Text them to (423) 555-0100. A photo of the outside of the panel and one of the meter is enough to start. Please don't open anything to take one.
