Electricians
Small Richmond-based electrical contractor covering residential and light commercial jobs around the city. There is no public showroom or website, so booking is by phone; worth knowing about if you want a local electrician rather than a Metro Vancouver chain.
Booking here happens by phone. There is no showroom and no website. LK Electrical is a small Richmond-based contractor covering residential and light commercial jobs around the city, and the absence of a storefront tells you nothing bad. Most good residential electricians in this city work the same way.
What is worth checking, with any electrician anywhere, is that they are licensed and that permits get pulled where the work requires them. In BC that is not a formality. Unpermitted electrical work has a way of surfacing later, usually during a sale, and always at the worst possible moment for whoever is trying to close.
Hiring local has a practical logic in Richmond that goes beyond sentiment. A contractor based here is not adding a bridge crossing to every callback, and for the small return visits that follow most jobs, that distance is the difference between next week and next month. Metro Vancouver chains will come out, certainly, but you are one dot on a map stretching to Langley.
For anything beyond a simple fixture swap, get the scope and the price in writing before work starts. That is ordinary practice in the trade and no slight on anybody, and it protects both sides when a job turns out to be bigger than it looked from the doorway.
No public premises; LK Electrical travels to customers.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside them.
The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.

The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
