Brooklyn Plasterers
Electricians are brilliant in their grasp of wiring, switches, schematics and technical drawings, circuit breakers, loads and meter diagnostic tools. They must know local and state building code requirements along with the National Electric Code which dictates safe electric design, installation and inspection to protect the public from electrical hazards, which can be deadly. Overloaded electrical outlets are a common cause of electrical fires. The Fire Department of the City of New York has a 2-page “Plug Into Safety” document to guide residents on electrical home safety. You can review this at https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/fdny/downloads/pdf/fire-safety-education/10_electricity_home_safety_english.pdf.
With all these skills and knowledge packed into their heads, electricians are not expected to restore spaces where they work. And we love following in their footsteps. Here we filled and spackled more than 20 holes. Once sanded and smooth again, we primed and painted the hall wall in this 90-year-old Brooklyn building. The residents will be pleased come summer that new wiring was installed to support the air conditioning system, and they are grateful now for the freshly repaired and painted hallway. Even with modernization like air conditioning, these historic buildings continue to evoke a grace and style of yesteryear.
