Between-tenant safety upgrades drive a substantial portion of our PB call mix. Coastal outlet work emphasizes corrosion-resistant covers and weather-rated exterior receptacles.

Why does my GFCI keep tripping?
Three usual causes: a real ground fault on the circuit (something downstream is leaking current), a worn-out GFCI past its 7–10 year lifespan, or the wrong wiring at install (line and load reversed). The pros we send diagnose and fix in one visit on most jobs.
