Uprading Your Home
Remodels
At Sparky Mark we have extensive expertise in working with century homes. Older homes are notorious for having overloaded breakers, outdated wiring and lack of electrical outlets in a room. Our team has a thorough understanding of preserving the historic features while upgrading electrical needs in your home. Certified electricians will take time to design electrical pathways that are the least invasive to the home.
Common interior and exterior home upgrades for older homes:
- Entire home electrical services including in your kitchen, bathroom, basement, bedrooms, living room, dining room, recreational rooms, and outdoor patios
- Residential home service improvements, including 100, 200, and 400 amps
- Upgrades to the electrical panel to compensate for higher electrical demands such as appliances
New Construction
Sparky Mark’s team has many years of experience following complex electrical blueprints. During new construction it would be ideal to be part of the design process from the beginning. However, if you have already completed your home design, we are fully equipped to adhere to the precise specifications.
A detailed estimate will be provided and flexibility can be offered during time of install, as we understand that designs change!
Renovations
Large home renovations often require building permits from local municipalities. Only a certified master electrical contractor can be awarded these necessary electrical permits. Permits are a way to protect homeowners as it ensures that all electrical installations are completed to code and inspected by the Electrical Safety Association (ESA). Although building permits can sometimes feel like a nuisance, the Sparky Mark team will help every step of the way.
