From a dead outlet to new lighting for a remodeled kitchen, electrical work has to be done right the first time. Built On Trust handles residential electrical repairs and installations for homeowners in Raleigh, Garner, Cary and across Wake and Johnston Counties, with safety and the electrical code as the first priority.
Because we also do remodeling, framing and drywall, we can run new wiring, install fixtures and patch and paint the walls afterward, so you don’t need three different contractors for one project.

Electrical work in older Raleigh homes
Many homes around Raleigh were built before today’s codes called for GFCI outlets in kitchens, baths, garages and outdoors, or before families ran so many appliances at once. Tripping breakers, warm outlets and flickering lights are signs a circuit is overloaded or a connection is failing. We find the cause, fix it to code, and get the permits and inspections the job requires.
Why choose Built On Trust for electric work
Electric problems are never something to guess at. We find the cause first, explain it in plain words, and then fix it to code with the permits and inspections the job needs. Because we also do carpentry, drywall and painting, we can open a wall or ceiling to run new wiring and leave it finished, not patched. That makes us a good fit for remodels, additions and the many small electric jobs that bigger companies often do not want. You always get a written quote before any work starts.
We also label new circuits in your panel and explain what was done, so you know exactly where everything is.

FAQ
Common Questions About Electrical Repairs & Installation
Does electrical work in Raleigh need a permit?
Many jobs, especially new wiring, new circuits and panel work, need a permit and inspection. We check what your job requires and handle the permit when one is needed.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Usually the circuit is overloaded, an appliance has a fault, or there is a short in the wiring. Don’t keep resetting it; have it checked so it can be fixed safely.
Do I need GFCI outlets?
Current code calls for GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry areas and outdoors. Older homes often don’t have it, and adding it is a simple, worthwhile safety upgrade.
Can you install a ceiling fan where there is only a light?
Often, yes. The ceiling box must be fan-rated to carry the weight and movement. We check the box and wiring and replace them if needed.
Can you add outlets to an older home?
Yes. We add new circuits and outlets where you need them, including GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages and outdoors, and repair the walls afterward.
Do you install outdoor and motion-sensor lights?
Yes. We replace and add outdoor fixtures, motion-sensor lights and porch lights, and make sure outdoor boxes are weatherproof.
