Some jobs are best handled in one visit: a plate that cracked years ago, a switch that has always felt stiff, and a kitchen outlet that could use a GFCI upgrade. In Park Ridge, Oakbridge Home Services (Somax Group LLC) replaces and installs outlets and switches from a single list, so small jobs like these are not left to a second round of calls.
What this work includes
- Outlet and switch cover and plate replacement, including cracked or discoloured plates
- Light switch replacement for stiff, loose or worn switches
- Standard outlet replacement for worn, loose or damaged outlets
- GFCI outlet installation for kitchens, bathrooms and outdoors
- Dimmer switch installation, including LED-compatible dimmers
- USB combo outlet installation for charging areas
- Three-way switch replacement for lights controlled from two places
- Troubleshooting a dead outlet by replacement when the outlet itself has failed
Examples include a cracked plate changed during a switch replacement, a stiff hallway switch replaced, and a bathroom outlet changed to a GFCI outlet. List the plate, the switch and the outlet together, and each is priced from the same description.

What the price depends on
The price depends on the number of outlets, switches and plates, and the type of each one. A plate on its own costs less to price than a plate plus a new switch, so note whether the plate alone is being changed or the switch behind it as well.
