Electrical box extender — Ann Arbor, MI
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
When you need electrical work, the final bill depends on a few specific things. The total cost typically reflects the complexity of your home’s wiring, the quality of materials selected, and how much time the job takes to complete safely. If your main panel needs an upgrade, or if the technician has to open up walls to reach hidden lines, labor hours will naturally go up. Conversely, simple fixture swaps or minor switch repairs are generally more straightforward and budget-friendly. We know you want a clear idea of what to expect before anyone starts.

About this service
An extender is a plastic or metal sleeve used when an electrical box is set too far back into a wall, usually after new drywall or tile is installed. It brings the box flush with the surface, which is a requirement for fire safety. You need this if your outlets feel loose or aren't sitting flat against the wall. The work is quick, and costs are typically low. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
