Q&A
As a Manhattan homeowner, I'm concerned about short circuits and outdoor outlet corrosion in my older building. Can you handle these specific electrical issues?
Absolutely. These are common challenges in Manhattan's historic homes. For short circuits, we perform thorough electrical inspections to locate the faulty wiring—often in old knob-and-tube systems—and make safe, code-compliant repairs. For outdoor outlets, we address corrosion by replacing damaged components with weather-resistant fixtures designed for NYC's environment, ensuring safety and longevity. Arthur's extensive electrical expertise is particularly suited to the unique wiring found in older city buildings.
I need several things done—a plumbing inspection, some floor installation, and handyman installation for shelves. Do you manage multi-service projects like this?
Yes, that's precisely what we specialize in. Arthur Bodie's wide-ranging expertise as an electrician, plumber, and carpenter allows him to efficiently coordinate and execute multi-faceted projects. He can start with a plumbing inspection to identify any underlying issues, proceed with your new flooring, and then build and install custom shelving—all while ensuring each trade complements the other. This integrated approach saves you time and the hassle of managing multiple contractors.
You mention solving problems no one else can. What kind of unusual handyman or installation jobs have you taken on?
Our specialty is creative problem-solving. We've tackled projects like designing and building custom loft beds to maximize small apartment space, soundproofing home studios in noisy buildings, and restoring intricate tile work in pre-war bathrooms. Arthur's background in upholstery, welding, and electronics, combined with his carpentry and plumbing skills, allows him to approach unconventional requests with practical, economical solutions that other contractors might decline.
