When you need outlet or switch relocation
Call RJ & Son Electric before the wall closes up. Outlet and switch relocation is much cleaner, faster, and more affordable when planned early in the remodel.

TV Mounts and Wall Controls
Hide cords, move outlets behind mounted TVs, relocate switches, and position controls where they are easier to use.
Accessibility and Layout Changes
Raise outlets, lower switches, move devices away from furniture, and make everyday electrical access easier and safer.
How outlet and switch relocation gets done
Relocation work needs to be planned around framing, drywall, tile, cabinets, and code requirements. RJ & Son Electric keeps the process clean and organized.
1. Confirm the new location
We inspect the existing outlet or switch and confirm the new location is safe and reachable through the wall framing.
2. Quote the full scope
You get a written quote covering the relocation, required electrical materials, and any code upgrades tied to the renovation.
3. Coordinate the timing
We coordinate with your contractor, cabinet installer, tile setter, or TV installer so the electrical work happens at the right time.
4. Run new wiring
We run the new cable safely, install the new box, and handle the old location correctly.
5. Test the new location
We verify the outlet or switch works properly and is installed safely before the wall is closed up.
6. Handle permits if needed
When the renovation scope requires a permit or inspection, RJ & Son Electric helps handle that process.
Outlet relocation is easy when it is planned early. It is messy when it is an afterthought.
The biggest favor we can do for your renovation is to get involved before drywall, tile, or cabinets are installed. That gives us room to move electrical devices cleanly, safely, and with less disruption.

What does outlet or switch relocation cost?
RJ & Son Electric gives you a written quote before work begins. For clearly scoped jobs, pricing can often be discussed by phone. For jobs where cost depends on wall access, framing, existing wiring, code issues, or hidden damage, we inspect first and quote in person.
The final price depends on how far the outlet or switch needs to move, whether new wiring is required, whether the wall is already open, whether drywall repair is involved, and whether the project is part of a larger renovation.
What is always true
- You approve the price before work begins.
- We explain the wall access needed.
- We coordinate with other trades when needed.
- We do not bury unsafe wiring shortcuts.
- No surprise charges after the work is started.

Answers to common questions about moving electrical outlets, relocating switches, renovation wiring, wall access, permits, and pricing.
Can you move an outlet without opening up the wall?
Sometimes, if the move is short and within the same stud bay. More often, a small drywall opening is needed so new cable can be run safely through the wall framing. RJ & Son Electric keeps wall damage as limited as possible while still doing the work safely.
How much wall damage will outlet relocation cause?
Most relocations require one or two access cuts plus the original outlet opening. If the work is part of a renovation, the impact is usually minimal because the wall is already being patched or finished.
Do I need a permit to relocate an outlet?
It depends on your town and the scope of the project. A small standalone relocation may not require a permit, while kitchen, bathroom, or larger renovation work often does. RJ & Son Electric handles permitting and inspection when required.
Can you move an outlet for a wall-mounted TV?
Yes. RJ & Son Electric can relocate or add an outlet behind a mounted TV so you do not have visible cords running down the wall.
Can you raise countertop outlets to current kitchen code?
Yes. Kitchen renovations are a smart time to update outlet spacing, GFCI protection, countertop outlet locations, and appliance outlet placement.
Are you licensed and insured for electrical work in Suffolk County?
Yes. RJ & Son Electric is owned and operated by Richard Gruttola, a Licensed Master Electrician. The company is licensed, insured, and available for outlet relocation, switch relocation, rewiring, and electrical repairs across Suffolk County.
How does pricing work?
You receive a written quote before work begins. For clearly scoped jobs, pricing can often be discussed by phone. For projects that depend on wall access, existing wiring, or renovation conditions, we inspect first and quote before starting the work.
