From a single dead outlet to a panel that's been wired wrong for twenty years — Terry's seen all of it. We diagnose, repair, and explain.
Most calls start the same way: half the kitchen is out, or the breaker won't reset, or the lights flicker every time the AC kicks on. We've heard it all. Terry's been doing residential electrical work in Atlanta for over twenty years, and the truth is most repair calls turn out to be one of about a dozen things — but you can't know which one until someone with experience looks.
We don't quote a price before we diagnose. The difference between a five-minute fix and a four-hour rewire can come down to one bad junction box behind a wall, and we won't know which one it is until we're there. What we do is show up when we said we would, look carefully, explain what we're seeing in plain English, and write you a real estimate.
Our specialty is the residential repair work most electrical companies don't want — the troubleshooting calls, the “this never worked right since we moved in” jobs, the wiring left over from decades of well-meaning DIY. If your house was built before 1985, there's a decent chance someone's already invented a clever fix for whatever's wrong. We've seen most of those clever fixes.
We carry insurance, we pull permits where the city requires them, and we don't leave a job until you understand what we did. That's the family-feel half of family-electrician — we're not in a hurry to get to the next call.
We don't quote until we've looked at the problem — repair work is too variable. What we promise is a free, written estimate before any work starts. Most residential repair calls fall in a $150 to $600 range; bigger jobs (rewires, panel work) can run more. You won't be surprised by a bill at the end.
Yes. Probably more than half our calls are diagnosing and fixing problems someone else introduced — bad junction boxes, mis-wired switches, panels that grew ad-hoc over the years. Terry's been doing this for thirty years; he doesn't get judgmental about it. He just fixes it.
Often, yes — especially for safety issues like burning smells, sparking outlets, or panels that won't reset. Call (404) 382-9847 and tell us what's going on. We'll be straight with you about whether it's a same-day call.
Tell us about the job. We'll get back to you with a written estimate — no obligation, no upsell.
