⚡ One service call. Two electrical problems you definitely don’t want hiding in your home.

The original complaint was simple: a light wasn’t working.

After finding no power at the switch, we traced the circuit back to the junction box pictured. Inside, we found wire nuts wrapped in duct tape, a neutral conductor that had dropped completely out of the bundle from improper wire-nut securement, and multiple cables entering the metal box without proper protection.

We corrected the connections, properly secured the conductors, addressed the cable entries, and restored power to the light. ✅

But while we were there, we found another issue.

A separate bathroom light fixture flickering after a few minutes of being on and I noticed was getting EXTREMELY hot—the glass globe was still too hot to comfortably touch roughly 10 minutes after the light had been turned off.

The reason?

💡 A 200-watt bulb had been installed in a fixture rated for a maximum of 60 watts.

That’s more than 3× the fixture’s rated wattage.

Why does that matter?
The fixture was rated for a maximum 60W bulb because that’s the amount of heat its socket, wiring, and enclosure are designed to safely handle. A 200W bulb produces significantly more heat, which can damage wiring and the socket over time and create a potential fire hazard. In this case, the glass globe was still too hot where it burned me roughly 10 minutes after the light had been shut off

Electrical problems aren’t always a bad breaker or a light switch. Sometimes the real problem is buried in a junction box—or screwed into the fixture itself.

If something in your home isn’t working, keeps tripping, flickers, smells hot, or is running way hotter than it should, don’t ignore it!!! Better to have a service call than one with your insurance company.

Putting It Back Together 🛠️

Here’s another room from the insulation project with Koala Insulation—showing a little more of what goes into the restoration side once the walls have been opened up.

This room went from finished walls ➡️ stripped down to the framing for access ➡️ insulation completed ➡️ new drywall hung and finished ➡️ original trim reinstalled.

One of the bigger goals on this project was preservation. Rather than tearing everything out and replacing it, we carefully removed the existing window and ceiling trim so it could be reused once the insulation crew finished their work.

The end result? New insulation hidden behind newly finished walls, while keeping the character that was already there.

Projects like this aren’t always about making a room look completely different. Sometimes the best result is doing a substantial amount of work behind the scenes and leaving the homeowner with a room that looks like it was never torn apart in the first place.

One more room to go 👀

If you’re looking for a remodel to update or are stuck tearing apart something you’re afraid your cannot replicate, give us a shout and we’ll make sure you get back to what you had, if not better

Another one of those jobs where most of the work disappears when we’re done. 🔨

This kitchen range hood needed to be properly vented to the exterior — and with the layout of this attic, getting from Point A to Point B was anything but a straight shot.

We routed a new metal exhaust run through a tight web of attic trusses, worked around the existing structure and insulation, penetrated the exterior wall, and finished it off with a clean exterior vent termination that blends right into the siding.

The finished product outside is pretty simple.

Getting it there was not.

✔️ New dedicated range hood exhaust
✔️ Metal duct routed through attic
✔️ Exterior wall pe*******on
✔️ Finished exterior vent hood
✔️ Cooking exhaust now discharged outdoors where it belongs

A lot of good construction work is exactly like this — the better it’s done, the less you notice it.

When the Insulation Crew Needs a Remodel Crew 🔨

Koala Insulation brought Citadel Builders in to handle the demolition and restoration side of this project so they could get access to properly insulate the exterior walls.

Our portion included carefully removing and preserving the existing trim, removing the wall paneling, temporarily adjusting the hydronic baseboard heaters, and then putting everything back together after the insulation work was completed.

From exposed studs ➡️ new drywall ➡️ finished walls ➡️ original trim carefully reinstalled.

And probably our favorite part of the job? The homeowners who repainted told us the reused trim actually looked better after we put it back on than it did before we started. We’ll take that compliment all day.

Sometimes good remodeling isn’t about replacing everything. It’s about taking things apart carefully enough—and putting them back together well enough—that you’d never know we were there.

Another one wrapped up. 🔨

What started as a straightforward gutter replacement uncovered some fascia damage once the existing system came off. Rather than cover it up and keep moving, the damaged areas were addressed so the new gutters had a solid, properly repaired surface to mount to.

🔹 Existing gutters removed
🔹 Damaged fascia identified and repaired
🔹 New gutter system installed
🔹 Downspouts properly routed
🔹 Final cleanup completed
🔹 Customer was extremely happy with the finished product

A big thank-you to Lake City Gutter LLC, one of our trusted subcontractors, for handling the gutter work and representing Citadel Builders well on the job. Clean work, good communication, and another happy homeowner.

Sometimes you don’t know exactly what’s hiding underneath until the old material comes off. That’s why we address problems when we find them instead of simply covering them back up.

🔧 Today’s episode of “What in the Home Depot is going on here?” 😂

We opened the cabinet and found what can only be described as plumbing by committee.

Before:
🔹 Flex pipe everywhere
🔹 Multiple unnecessary connections
🔹 A trap situation that required some serious studying… why two?
🔹 Enough twists and turns to qualify as a water park

After:
🔹 New garbage disposal installed
🔹 Drain piping cleaned up and simplified
🔹 Proper trap configuration
🔹 Fewer connections = fewer places to leak
🔹 Dishwasher drain properly connected
🔹 And most importantly… water now has a clear idea where it’s supposed to go. 😂

Sometimes the best repair isn’t adding another fitting—it’s removing about twelve of them.

And we have to give a shoutout to the homeowner on this one — absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. We genuinely appreciate great customers who make the job that much more enjoyable.

Remember, we’re here to service you, your family, and your home. That’s what we care about the most is providing the best service we can. If you’re in need of help, can’t figure out how to fix it yourself, or just don’t want to mess with it, give us a call or text us. We’ll get you taken care of!!
