When do I need a licensed electrician instead of a handyman?

When the work is the service, the panel, a dedicated EV circuit, a generator, or anything the village inspects. Hanging a fixture on an existing box can be the list on the fridge. We will tell you which it is.

Do you do handyman work if you are a licensed electrician?

Yes. The list on the fridge is real work. We do it because the same shop already knows the house — not because we treat electrical work as unlicensed repair.

Who actually does the electrical work?

A licensed electrician. Michael is a licensed electrician and a licensed general contractor. Panel, EV, and generator work is not handed to a handyman.
