Your Trusted Brookland Electrical Contractor
Brookland earned its nickname "Little Rome" from the numerous Catholic institutions clustered around Catholic University, but the neighborhood's appeal extends far beyond its religious heritage. The charming Arts and Crafts bungalows, Victorian homes, and Colonial Revival houses attract creative professionals and families seeking character and community in Northeast DC.
Homes in Brookland typically date from 1910-1940, with electrical systems reflecting their era. Many contain original knob-and-tube wiring, fuse boxes, and two-prong ungrounded outlets. These systems cannot safely support modern electrical demands and require comprehensive updates. The Brookland Historic District adds preservation requirements that we navigate expertly while modernizing systems.
We specialize in updating Brookland's charming historic homes.
