Electrical Repair

DENVER, CO – The housing bubble that led to the worst U.S. recession in decades and shows only the slightest signs of recovery after more than two years of stagnation has a bright side for those people able to take advantage: housing costs are down considerably, mortgage and construction-loan rates are the lowest they have been in decades, and a whole host of general contractors and subcontractors are hungry for work and pricing their services accordingly.

While the conventional wisdom is that buying a home in this environment may offer the best combination of pricing and lending rates ever seen, it may be even a better time to consider building a dream home or to extensively remake an existing home into a new castle.

For new-build homes, the same positive economics that apply to the real estate market in general come into play: low acquisition costs of an older, smaller tear-down home or a building lot, and 30-year mortgage rates well below 5%. The added advantage is that builders, jam-packed with business at inflated fees just a few years ago, are in a mood to deal just to keep the business operating. Same for remodeling projects and the many subcontractors who work on both new-build and add-on projects: they take business wherever they can find it, and the market is so competitive the fees charged are some of the lowest seen in more than 20 years.

However, as always, caveat emptor: let the buyer beware. While contractors are keeping fees low in a hyper-competitive marketplace, there is also the potential of the cutting corners to maximize returns. Anyone contracting to build a new home or to substantially remake an existing one would be well advised to insist that subcontractors hire by general contractors or developers to perform critical elements of the building project be fully licensed and capable of the task at hand.

One of the key aspects of any home construction project, whether new or remodel, is the electrical contractor charged with wiring the new home or addition. Modern lifestyles call for the addition of a myriad of appliances, home theater systems, home-wide entertainment systems, security systems, extensive cabling for entertainment and work spaces, outdoor decorative and security lighting, HVAC units, and more – in other words, the modern home is a marvel for wiring and cabling, with electrical demand far exceeding what was the norm only a few years ago. Not every electrician has the experience and expertise to handle a high-demand electrical job, even though most of them will say they do. Best to check the level of experience and all references to insure a new home or extensive remodeling project is done correctly the first time. The best contractors and developers will supply all the necessary background on subcontractors before work commences and are open to make a switch to one the client prefers.

Building a new home or making a new home out of an existing one is a daunting undertaking, but the stars are all aligned and indicate this may be the best time ever to build the dream. Make sure, however, that each and every contractor and subcontractor has the expertise to fulfill that dream, or it could become a nightmare.

Search for an electrician online these days and chances are that you’ll notice what we did…more electrical shops have combined their services with other subcontractors to offer across-the-board repairs and remodeling.

Plumbers have aligned with Electrical Contractors and with HVAC specialists. Electrical Contractors have merged with alternative power companies. Some subcontractors are now promoting their companies as a one-stop-shop for all home repairs.

At Allstar Electrical Services Inc., we believe in doing one thing well-Electrical repair and contracting services. We don’t want to be all things to all people, insists Allstar founder and president Gary Stone.

“Decades of experience as licensed, bonded and insured master electricians has shown us that we can outshine any other electrical contractor in the Western United States because we focus on electrical contracting and repairs exclusively,” says Stone who has been in the electrical contracting business for 30 years.

Stone draws the analogy of the dentist vs. the hygienist. “Some people insist on seeing a dentist who performs routine cleanings himself. Others realize that they’re better off being treated by the hygienist because a hygienist cleans teeth all day long, every day and therefore is more expert than the dentist who does it occasionally.”

Q. I live in Colorado Springs and need electrical repair at my home, but I don’t know who to call?

A. Allstar Electrical Service has expanded its service area to include El Paso County, the county seat of Colorado Springs, Colorado.

El Paso County lies encompasses more than 2,158 square miles, slightly more than twice the area of the state of Rhode Island excluding Narragansett Bay. That’s a large service area in addition to already serving the Front Range from Ft. Collins south. But Allstar Electrical Services owner Gary Stone says he decided to provide service to Colorado Springs when would-be customers called to say they couldn’t get good service from any of the electrical contractors already serving the area.

Colorado Sprngs has a population of 575,851 living in 216,015 households. Almost half of the county’s residents are military personnel with an estimated civilian labor force of 264,000.

Q. Will I pay more for Allstar Electrical Services to do the repairs at my home or business?

A. Since opening Allstar Electrical Services in the late 1990’s, Stone has insisted that his team of certified, licensed and master electricians and apprentices respect homeowners’ and business owners’ schedules by keeping on-time for service appointments. While that might seem to indicate Allstar’s services are more expensive because they are more thorough, right down to keeping appointments, the fact is that it saves the customer money. The customer doesn’t have to wait an entire day or half day for the electrician to show up at the job site. That way the customer can do what he or she would otherwise be doing and plan to meet the electrician at a specific time versus waiting.

Also, Allstar’s electricians travel in fully-equipped vans, vans that are marked with Allstar’s logo, and that too saves money. If the repair part necessary to make your repair is a routine part, chances are that the Allstar electrician who shows up at your job site will have the parts needed with him already. That too saves money and time, getting the job done in one service call, not two, and also saving time having to source common electrical parts that a reliable repair service like Allstar knows to carry on the van proactively.
