From a single new outlet to troubleshooting a dead circuit to wiring a detached garage, general residential wiring is the backbone of what we do. Much of the housing stock in Winston-Salem, Ardmore, and West End predates modern code by decades. We work in those houses every week and know what we’ll find behind the plaster.

New Circuits and Outlets
Dedicated circuits for kitchen appliances, window units, workshop tools, and home offices; new receptacles where you actually need them; and 240V circuits for dryers, ranges, welders, and heat pump equipment, including long feeder runs with properly sized conductors and disconnects. We’ve run feeders well over 200 feet for outbuilding and HVAC work, with voltage drop calculated, not guessed.
Troubleshooting and Repair
GFCI, AFCI, and Older-Home Safety
Current code requires GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages, exteriors, and laundry areas, and AFCI protection across most living spaces. In older homes we upgrade protection circuit by circuit, prioritize the genuine hazards (bootleg grounds, back-stabbed receptacles, overloaded neutrals), and give you a straight answer about what needs fixing now versus what can wait.
Subpanels and Outbuildings
Garages, workshops, barns, and well houses: we run underground feeders, set subpanels, and handle the grounding electrode work detached structures require. Agricultural wiring is part of our regular work, not an exception.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an electrician cost in Winston-Salem?
We quote by the job, not by surprise: a written estimate covering labor and materials before work starts. Small jobs like a new outlet or switch typically start around $150–$300; troubleshooting is diagnosed first and quoted before repair.
Can you add an outlet to an existing wall?
Almost always, yes. We fish cable through finished walls with minimal drywall disturbance and install the receptacle on an appropriately loaded circuit, or a new dedicated circuit if the use calls for it.
My breaker keeps tripping. What does that mean?
A breaker that trips repeatedly is doing its job: protecting against overload, a short, or a ground fault. The wrong answer is a bigger breaker; the right answer is diagnosing the cause. That's a standard troubleshooting visit for us.
Do you wire detached garages and barns?
Yes: underground feeders, subpanels, lighting, and equipment circuits for garages, workshops, and agricultural buildings are regular work for us, including long aluminum feeder runs sized for voltage drop.
