Every project is different, but the main cost factors are the scope of work, materials and fixtures selected, the distance wire must run from the panel, accessibility (attic, crawlspace or finished walls) and whether a permit and inspection are required. We provide a firm written quote before work begins, so Grantsboro customers never see surprise charges.
“Ceiling fans in four bedrooms, including a vaulted ceiling. Perfect mounting, no wobble, and they cleaned up every speck of drywall dust.”
“Under-cabinet lighting and new pendants over the island. Looks like a magazine kitchen now.”

A portable generator with a properly installed transfer switch and inlet is a safe, lower-cost option. Never backfeed a generator through a dryer outlet — it is dangerous to you and to utility workers.
Installed cost varies with generator size, distance from the panel and fuel source. We provide a complete quote covering the electrical installation, transfer switch and permits. Call (888) 592-6466.
