Outlet Replacement
Worn-out outlets swapped for ones that actually hold a plug snug.
Outlets take a lot of wear over the years — plugs get pulled at odd angles, prongs loosen the internal contacts, and eventually a once-snug outlet won't hold a plug in place at all. That's usually a sign the outlet itself needs replacing rather than anything deeper in the wiring.
Older two-prong outlets are still common in some older shore homes and get swapped out for grounded three-prong outlets as part of general updates, particularly when homeowners are adding modern electronics or appliances that require a proper ground.
Outdoor and garage outlets near the coast face extra wear from moisture and salt air, and worn or corroded cover plates and outlet bodies in those areas are a frequent replacement call.
Problems we get called about
Loose or worn outlets
Outlets that no longer grip a plug securely, which can also create a safety concern over time.
Outdated two-prong outlets
Older ungrounded outlets that homeowners want upgraded to modern grounded outlets.
Cracked or damaged cover plates
Cover plates that are cracked, discolored, or missing, particularly in high-use or exterior areas.
Corroded outdoor or garage outlets
Exterior-rated outlets showing corrosion or moisture damage from coastal exposure.
Discolored or warm outlets
Outlets that show scorch marks or feel warm, which should be addressed rather than left in use.
