Default Lamp Rewiring

I need a name of an individual that rewires floor lamps. Any help would be appreciated.

Don't do it leave the electrical work to the electricians a mistake can be deadly. I'm a master electrician and have seen things that you wouldn't believe.

We had a lamp rewired at a place in Leesburg & I THINK the name was BEVCO or something similar to that. Sorry I'm so vague but I don't have access to the exact name.

If you take it to Ace Hardware in Spanish Springs there is a guy there who will do it for you and he is very inexpensive. We had 3 switches replaced by him last year and it was so quick and easy....

Bought the switch and bulb holder at home depot. Only a screwdriver was needed. Not technical at all. Yes, most electrical work needs a pro. Electrician but not this one.

My mother always rewired our lamps. I am the least handy person you will ever find on earth. I watched a YouTube video on how to do it. Only a screwdriver needed. It was so easy. If I can do it, anybody can do it. My mother nor I have ever burned down our house.
