Electrical and Wiring Repair

  • 14 hires on Thumbtack
  • Serves Wilmington, DE
Matthew D. says, "I had a light fixture that had been installed badly and had fallen out of the drywall ceiling. I hired Repair Guy to help me get it properly reinstalled. I had tried to do it myself, but I thought for sure the job just couldn’t be done by a single person. There was just too much to handle at once: the wiring, the hidden bolts, keeping the heavy fixture close enough to the ceiling to fasten them… But Repair Guy never needed my help. He took his time to work out a solution, and fixed the whole thing himself. Even with the time he took to analyze the problem, he got it all done in less than an hour. He showed up early, and communicated well when setting up the job. Handymen this smart are rare. Ones this smart that charge affordable rates are rarer still. Highly recommended."See more

Do electricians do free estimates?

Go online to find the best electricians near you. After researching and finding a few pros who seem qualified for your job, go ahead and request a quote to find out how much those electricians will charge you.

How do I hire an electrician?

Go online to find a list of the best electricians in your area. View each individual electrician’s profile and learn more about their services and expertise. Then, read reviews from satisfied customers as well as any issues they may have encountered. This will help you find one with the right experience to work safely in your home.

You should also spend some time researching what qualifications and credentials they have. You might find information about their license on their profile, or you might need to check your local and state government’s website to verify their license.

Is it worth it to hire an electrician?

Yes, it's usually worth it to hire an electrician instead of doing the work yourself.

Electrical work can be very dangerous. The pros spend many years working and studying before they become licensed and certified. That knowledge and training can help them work safely and perform the job without harming themselves or your home. 

Even a small wiring repair job can be unsafe if not done correctly. Hiring someone that has specialized training on how to do each specific job is the safest choice.
