Local service
Proudly serving Fort Washington
Fort Washington sits on the Maryland side of the Potomac, where the land rolls down toward the river and the housing stock ranges from mid-century ranchers to newer colonials on larger lots. The area's mix of older homes and recent additions means we see everything from outdated panels to new construction wiring. The summer humidity and frequent thunderstorms put real strain on electrical systems, so we're often called out for surge issues, tripping breakers, and lighting that flickers when the wind kicks up.
Our crew packs the van in Alexandria, crosses the Wilson Bridge or the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge, and heads to Fort Washington with the same gear we use at home. We work on site, protecting your floors and furniture, and we clean up before we leave. Being just across the river means we can get to you quickly, and if a job needs a follow-up visit, we're back without a long wait. We treat every home like it's in our own neighborhood, because it is.

Local demand
What Fort Washington homeowners call us for
Panel and service upgrades
Older homes in Fort Washington often have 100-amp panels that can't handle modern loads. We upgrade to 200-amp service, coordinating with PEPCO and making sure everything is grounded properly.
Surge protection
With the area's storm-prone summers, we install whole-home surge protectors that shield your electronics from the spikes that come with lightning strikes and utility switching.
Outdoor wiring
From pool pumps to landscape lighting, we run weatherproof circuits that stand up to the humidity and rain. We use outdoor-rated materials and install GFCI protection where code requires.
Ceiling fan and light installs
We replace old fans and fixtures, reinforcing ceiling boxes and running new wiring where needed. It's a quick job that makes a big difference in comfort and looks.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in Fort Washington
Whole-home surge protection
We install a surge protector at the main panel that absorbs spikes before they reach your electronics. It's a straightforward job that protects your TV, computer, and appliances.
Bathroom and kitchen wiring
We run dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances, add GFCI outlets near water, and install exhaust fans and lighting that are safe and code-compliant.

This established neighborhood has many homes from the '60s and '70s. We do panel upgrades, rewiring in kitchens and baths, and add dedicated circuits for appliances that older wiring can't handle.
Potomac Heights
Closer to the river, these homes see more humidity and storm exposure. We install surge protection, upgrade outdoor outlets, and replace corroded wiring in basements and crawlspaces.

Around the main commercial stretch, we work on both homes and small businesses. We handle lighting installs, outlet repairs, and service upgrades for buildings that have grown with the area.

“After a week of trying to figure out why my dryer wasn't working, I finally learned it was a bad circuit breaker, and I needed it fixed last-minute. I called JM & Sons, and the owner, Julio, came out ASAP. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and respectful. He fixed the issue quickly and explained everything as he worked.”

“Julio was so responsive! I heard back promptly after submitting a request via the website and he came out to the house a couple days later to review our project. After reviewing the project, Julio said he could get the lights and have his colleague David come back that afternoon to install. It was great to get the project done in one day and we are VERY happy with the results!”
