Our Charlotte team completed a comprehensive electrical installation for Billy Martin (Apex Custom Builders) on October 10, 2025.

Primary service: Outlets & Switches
Secondary service: Outlet Installation & Repair
Branch: Charlotte (serving the greater Charlotte, NC area)

Scope of Work

Installed 11 standard outlets for reliable power access throughout the space.
Installed 4 light switches to control existing and new fixtures.
Installed new wall sconces for layered, architectural lighting.
Installed 5 customer-supplied can lights to improve ambient illumination.
Replaced a GFCI outlet and added a weatherproof bubble cover at the front of the home for outdoor safety and durability.
Relocated existing wiring to accommodate framing changes while maintaining clearance and protection.

Materials and Installation Details

11x Standard Receptacles with proper device boxes and covers for a clean, professional finish.
4x Standard Switches (2-way/3-way/4-way as needed) for user-friendly lighting control.
60 ft of NM-B 12/2 for 20-amp branch circuits serving outlets and higher-demand loads.
50 ft of NM-B 14/2 for lighting and general-purpose 15-amp circuits.
GFCI replacement and in-use bubble cover to protect the exterior outlet from weather while plugged in or not in use.

Our installation approach emphasized neat routing, proper support and securing of cables, and device terminations that meet current electrical code standards. For framing-related adjustments, wiring was moved to maintain safe clearances and minimize the chance of fastener damage during finish work.

Safety, Testing, and Code Considerations

Verified correct polarity and grounding at all new outlets and switches.
Function-tested the replaced GFCI and confirmed trip/reset operation.
Used gauge-appropriate NM-B cable for the intended circuit amperage.
Ensured weather-resistant protection at the exterior location with the bubble cover for in-use safety.

These steps help ensure reliable operation, reduce nuisance tripping, and provide enhanced protection for both indoor and outdoor electrical components.
