Repairs, panel upgrades, rewiring, generators, lighting, ceiling fans, and outlets.
A wire landed wrong still turns the light on. A box that is not rated still holds the fan you hung from it. Overloaded circuits work fine right up until the day they do not.
Most electrical mistakes do not announce themselves. They show up later, at an inspection, or two weeks before a closing, or as a repair three times the size of the one you started with.
You will not know it was wrong until it costs you something.
What is going on in your house, in plain English, including the things you did not call us about.
More than one way to solve it, so you end up with what you wanted instead of what somebody decided you needed.
It gets inspected, so it holds up when the next person looks at it.
Customers bring that up before they bring up the work.
So we look, and then we tell you. Most of what people are worried about turns out to be fine. The things that are not are usually the ones nobody flagged.
Do you need a 200-amp service, or does the panel already have room for the charger. Is the interlock enough, or do you want the transfer switch. That item the inspector circled in red might be a fire risk or a missing cover plate, and those are not close to the same thing.
We never want to oversell a customer and give them the biggest, best package if they do not need it. We want to give them the honest assessment and the fix. It is not right that a homeowner has to ever guess what is going to happen next.
A fair amount of our work is correcting or finishing what somebody else started. That is most of what we know about how this goes wrong.
What is going on in your house, in plain English, including the things you did not call us about.
What is urgent, what can wait, and what your home's electrical system needs. In writing within
Permits pulled, inspection scheduled, and the house cleaned up when we leave.
Two panels that look identical from the driveway are different jobs once you know what the meter base looks like and how the house is grounded. Same with a charger, a generator hookup, or anything in an older house.
So we come look at it, and you get your options and the real cost in writing. No charge for that part.
If it is more than you want to spend, you have spent nothing finding out.
Current Contracting is an electrician in Hampton Roads, Virginia, working across Chesapeake, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Suffolk, and Portsmouth.
Most people who call us have more than one thing going on. Recessed lighting in a room that has always been dark. Two receptacles that stopped working. A fixture the last owner installed badly. Exterior lighting. A ceiling fan that needs a box rated for it. A hot tub that needs bonding. A charger for the car arriving next month.
None of it is urgent, which is exactly why it gets put off. So the list does not get shorter. It gets older.
We would rather come once, walk the whole thing with you, and work through it.
We had a customer recently with a light fixture that would not work no matter what she put in it. It needed a bulb with a deeper base. Not a specialty bulb, not a rewire. Just an obscure thing nobody had looked closely enough to catch. That is a bigger part of this job than people expect.
A Class A license means there is no cap on the size of the job. Panel replacements and service upgrades, with the permit pulled and the Dominion disconnect and reconnect coordinated. EV charger installation, including the panel capacity question most people never get a straight answer on. Generator hookups, interlock or transfer switch, and we will tell you which one your house needs. Meter base repair after storm damage. Remodel and new construction electrical, and temporary power poles for builders
We are typically about a week out, and we can usually get in there in three to four days.
We are saying that on purpose. If your power is out right now, call somebody who runs emergency service. We would rather tell you that than take your call and get there Thursday. What we are good at is the work you can plan: the panel, the charger, the generator before storm season, the list that has been sitting there since you moved in.

Dem and reinstall in a day, with Dominion and the permit handled
Level 2 and Tesla, including the panel question nobody answers upfront.
Interlock or transfer switch, the honest comparison
The flagged items, translated into plain English and fixed.
Storm damage, failed bases, and the Dominion coordination
Yes. Current Contracting works under a licensed master electrician and holds a Class A Virginia contractor license, and the business is insured. License numbers and proof of insurance are available on request.
We walk the house with you, look at what you called about and anything else that stands out, and give you the options in writing before we leave. There is no charge for the visit itself, and no pressure to decide on the spot.
We come look at it first. Any number given before that is a guess, and a guess that goes up when the truck arrives is worse than no number at all. Once we have looked, you get the price in writing.
Yes. Permit and service work gets inspected, and we handle the permit and the Dominion coordination so you do not have to.
