The only thing done here was installation of cable.

I checked the breaker box and nothing is tripped.

Is there a switch or something that controls them?
There is usually a GFCI outlet in the garage that needs to be reset. It usually gets tripped when someone power washes the home and water gets into the outside outlets. It must be manually reset.
