What It Is

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: electrical work bills at $125/hr, a $75 service call covers the visit and first assessment, and larger projects get a flat quote from a free video estimate.

Chandeliers, pendants, recessed conversions, and vanity lights — hung, wired, and braced properly.
Ceiling Fans
New fans and replacements, including fan-rated box installation where the old box was never meant to hold one.
Outlets & Switches
Dead outlets, warm switch plates, missing GFCI protection in kitchens and baths, and two-prong upgrades, fixed properly.

Aging-Home Corrections
The mystery switches and overloaded circuits that come with the Chagrin Valley's beautiful older housing stock — assessed honestly, fixed properly.
