Licensed General Contractor · No Shortcuts

Electrical — No Shortcuts Behind Your Walls

Electrical work is where corner-cutting hides until it matters. Chagrin Valley Handyman is a licensed general contractor — we handle most electrical work ourselves and bring in a licensed electrician where the job calls for it, billed at a transparent $125/hr and backed by $1M in insurance.

The Trade Where Shortcuts Aren't Optional

Bad drywall work is ugly. Bad electrical work is dangerous — and invisible until it isn't. That's why we treat it with respect: Chagrin Valley Handyman is a licensed general contractor, so we handle most electrical work directly and bring in a licensed electrician for anything the job requires. Nothing behind your walls gets improvised.

What we add is everything around the trade. A ceiling-fan swap is an electrical connection plus bracing, patching, and paint-ready finish. A wall of new outlets during a room refresh is electrical work plus trim, furniture moving, and cleanup. One call to us covers the whole thing — sequenced, insured, and on one invoice, with a licensed electrician brought in where the job calls for it.

Rates are stated before work begins: licensed electrical bills at $125 per hour, a $75 service call covers the visit and first assessment, and larger projects get a flat quote from a free video estimate.
