Common Situations
Does this sound familiar?
An outlet in your kitchen or bathroom stopped working
Outlets that go dead are often a tripped GFCI somewhere upstream — not a wiring problem. Larry checks the circuit, resets or replaces the GFCI, and verifies the outlet is live before leaving. If something more is going on, he'll tell you exactly what he found.
Your outlet is loose and wobbles when you plug something in
Loose receptacles are a fire and safety hazard, not just an inconvenience. Larry replaces the receptacle, checks the box and connections, and makes sure everything is properly secured. Most outlet replacements take less than an hour.
You need GFCI outlets added in a bathroom or kitchen
Code requires GFCI protection near water — bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoor locations. Larry installs GFCI outlets correctly so they protect downstream receptacles and satisfy the requirement without a complicated rewire.
Your face plates and outlet covers are cracked, yellowed, or mismatched
Old or mismatched outlet covers make a room look neglected. Larry replaces them all in a single visit — consistent finish, flush fit, no cracked plastic. It's a small detail that makes a noticeable difference.

FAQ
Electrical Outlet Repair — frequently asked questions
Can Larry repair an outlet that stopped working?
Yes. He diagnoses the cause first — tripped GFCI, loose connection, or a failed receptacle — and makes the correct repair. With 12 years of electrical experience, he knows what's safe to fix at the outlet level.
Does Larry do full electrical rewires?
No. Larry handles outlet-level repairs and replacements — individual receptacles, GFCI installs, and face plate work. Full-panel work or whole-house rewiring requires a licensed electrician.
How long does an outlet repair usually take?
Most single-outlet repairs take 30 to 60 minutes. If there are multiple outlets or a GFCI upstream causing several dead outlets, Larry will scope the work and give you a realistic time estimate.
Is it safe to have a handyman replace an outlet?
For straightforward outlet and GFCI replacements — yes. Larry has 12 years of hands-on electrical work and handles these repairs safely. If he finds something that requires a licensed electrician, he'll tell you before doing any work.
