ARK Contracting | Expert Electricians in New York, NY

That's a very common and important concern in older New York homes. For any addition, our process starts with a detailed assessment of your existing electrical panel and capacity. Our licensed electricians will determine if an upgrade is needed to safely support new appliances, lighting, and outlets. We handle the entire process, from securing permits to the final inspection, ensuring the new space is both functional and completely safe, integrating seamlessly with your home's existing infrastructure.

Our full-scope remodeling means we manage the entire project with our in-house team of specialists. For a bathroom, this includes the initial design, demolition, plumbing and electrical work, tiling, carpentry for vanities and fixtures, painting, and final clean-up. We coordinate all the trades, so you have one point of contact. This integrated approach helps prevent delays, maintains quality control, and is particularly valuable for complex NYC projects where space and existing building conditions require careful planning.

Absolutely. Water intrusion in outlets is a serious safety hazard common in New York's older buildings. Our electricians will first safely disconnect the circuit, then remove the damaged outlet and wiring. We replace it with a new, code-compliant GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet, which is specifically designed to shut off power instantly if it detects moisture, preventing shock and fire risk. We'll also inspect the surrounding area for any ongoing moisture issues and can recommend further repairs, like caulking or exterior sealing, to address the root cause.
