Long punch lists and projects with no fixed scope. Billed by the hour, so the total depends on how long it runs.
What the lower end buys
Two or three standard outlets or switches swapped like for like. Power off at the breaker, the old device out, wires checked and reterminated, the new one set square in the box, a fresh plate on, and each device tested before the next one comes out.
What the higher end buys
Whole rooms of devices, GFCI and USB upgrades, or smart switches that need a neutral push the quote up. Older houses turn up ungrounded two-prong boxes, and we tell you what is behind the plate instead of quietly fitting a three-prong outlet over it.

Biggest price driver
Box condition sets the pace more than the device you chose. A roomy box with sound copper is a straight swap. A shallow box crammed with stiff old wire has to be sorted out first, and brittle insulation means slow hands. Trouble back at the panel belongs to a licensed electrician.
