There are many reasons why homeowners choose to make renovations. Sometimes, they buy a “fixer-upper” in a great neighborhood and make small upgrades as their budget allows. Sometimes, the home doesn’t quite fit their needs like it once did, and they seek to make some big changes to accommodate a growing family. And if you’re relocating for a new career opportunity, a few quick updates can substantially boost your home’s resale value. Whatever your situation, our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help!

We’ve been the most trusted residential electrician in Little Rock for over four decades, and we love helping Arkansans with their home improvement projects! The good news is that a bit of creativity can save you a lot of money, and there are plenty of budget-friendly remodeling projects that only take a few days to complete. Here are a few things to consider as you start planning, and we’re always a phone call away if you have any additional questions:

Leave the difficult jobs to the pros! The internet is an excellent place to find ideas for new home improvement projects, and you can learn a lot by watching online tutorials. Unfortunately, many homeowners quickly learn they’re not quite as handy as they think they are and wind up having to hire someone to fix their mistakes. But there’s no shame in hiring a professional contractor, and it ensures that the job is done right from the start!

You can never have too many outlets! If you own an older home, it’s a good bet that you can use some extra outlets in high-traffic areas. It’s easy and inexpensive to install additional electrical outlets in the rooms where you need them most, and newer electrical outlets also include built-in surge protection and USB charging ports for your electronics!

Install smart lighting and appliances-Smart LED bulbs enable you to select your desired brightness and color temperature using your smartphone or mobile device, and you can even program your lights to switch on and off while you’re on vacation. And don’t forget to also install a Smart thermostat and upgrade your home security system!

If you have any questions or need an electrician, contact us online or at 501-375-8330. We’re also always happy to give you a no-obligation quote for a KOHLER emergency generator!
