My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Circuit Doctors® Electric Services, LLC
Local Electricians, Contractors & Companies in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 23, 2017
“4/23/17. Dave successfully researched, diagnosed, and repaired our GFI line issues, which involved 2 trips to find the 3 intermittent issues: Mud behind an outside plug, a too-short wire tap on a basement pull-chain light connection from a previous electrician, and an incorrect wire wrapping together on the GFI reset outlet. Now my wife can run her hair dryer without the GFI popping off and the breaker no longer tripping when I reset it. Dave has given me a Happy Wife, so a Happy Life! While here he also fixed our door bell system, and added a surge protector on the box. Thank you for your competent skill Dave! Bob in Silver Spring Maryland.”

Electrician FAQs
Look for licensed, insured electricians with experience in your specific type of project. Request references, verify credentials, and get detailed written estimates. Ask about their specific expertise and ensure they're familiar with local building codes.
Any work involving wiring, electrical panels, circuit installation, or major appliance connections requires a licensed electrician. Simple tasks like changing light fixtures or switches can be DIY, but anything involving your home's electrical system should be professional.
Costs vary based on project scope, materials needed, and labor time. Most electricians charge hourly rates plus materials. Always get a detailed written estimate that includes labor, materials, permits, and potential additional costs.
Your contract should detail scope of work, timeline, cost breakdown, payment schedule, warranty information, and who's responsible for repairs to any structural damage during work. It should also specify whether workers are employees or subcontractors.
Have a professional inspection every 3-5 years, or more frequently in older homes. Regular inspections can identify potential hazards and ensure your system meets current safety standards.
