Expert Outlet Installation in Metairie, LA

DPS General Contractors LLC handles outlet installation for Metairie, LA homes of all ages and layouts. Our work covers new outlet additions, worn receptacle replacements, GFCI-protected outlets for kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas, and dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances. Before any installation, we check circuit capacity and confirm a safe wiring route. We also verify whether GFCI or AFCI protection is required for the location. Many Metairie homes were built before modern wiring standards, and older properties often lack enough outlets to support today's devices. Relying on power strips or extension cords as a long-term fix creates real fire risk. Adding properly wired outlets removes that risk and gives you reliable power exactly where you use it. Every installation follows the National Electrical Code and Louisiana's local requirements. Call DPS General Contractors LLC to schedule your outlet installation in Metairie.

This company responded to my water damage claim and did a great job on the damage cleanup and rebuild. The owner and all the workers were a pleasure to work with toward coordinating with my insurer and getting to completion as quick as possible. Thank you DPS!

Thank you, Roger, and DPS Contracting for all of your help recovering from the tornado that hit our home last year. We are highly satisfied customers, and will definitely recommend your company to others!

Sea Questrian Google review · August 2020

Chadd from DPS came out to my house to help me with water damage mitigation after having an AC drip pan failure while I was away for work for two months. Chadd gave fantastic advice and helped me think through the damages and what needed to be done in order to repair and restore things. Chadd and his team worked quickly and efficiently to clean up the area and set up for everything to be dried. He gave me a realistic idea of what to expect and what I needed to do. I would highly recommend DPS based off this experience and if I ever have water or storm damage again he will be my first call before I get my insurance company involved.

Extremely grateful for DPS. My home flooded and as you can imagine that is beyond stressful to deal with. Roger made my stressful situation so much better by his professionalism. He’s a great communicator, reliable, and very kind/polite. He got the job done perfectly! My home is now complete and better than ever. Thank you!

I had major water damage on the ground floor of my house and DPS did an amazing job of restoring my place as they exceeded all my expectations. They were professional and their customer service was top notch from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend DPS Contracting as they made this major repair very easy for me and my wife.
