Outlet and Switch Installation/Repair
Are your outlets loose, outdated, or just plain ugly? Nothing dates a home faster than yellowing, painted-over almond outlets. But it’s not just about looks—old outlets can be a serious fire hazard. Whether you need to replace a loose receptacle that won’t hold a plug, or you want to upgrade to modern smart dimmers, you need a pro.
At Papa Nick Electric, we specialize in outlet and switch installation in Tacoma, Puyallup, and Lakewood. We help homeowners ditch the “builder-grade” plastic and upgrade to safe, stylish, and functional power solutions.

Modern Upgrades & Convenience
Stop fighting over phone chargers. We can install USB-equipped outlets right into your wall, perfect for kitchen islands and bedsides. We also install Smart Switches (Lutron, Leviton) that allow you to automate your lighting for security and convenience.
Safety First: GFCI & AFCI
If you have an outlet that sparks, feels warm, or is loose, it needs immediate attention. We bring your home up to code by installing GFCI protection in wet areas and AFCI protection to prevent electrical fires caused by arcing wires.
Outdoor & Specialty Power
Need power on the patio for string lights? We run new lines safely and install weather-resistant outdoor covers that stand up to the Washington rain.
Why Hire a Pro for “Small” Jobs?
Many homeowners try to DIY outlets, but “back-stabbed” wiring (a common shortcut) is a leading cause of electrical failures. When you hire Papa Nick Electric for your outlet and switch installation in Pierce County, we use screw-terminal connections that stay tight and safe for decades.
We Protect Your Home: We use drop cloths and clean up all wire strippings.
We Bring the Parts: We stock a variety of styles (Decora, standard, white, black) in our truck.
