About Our College Park Services
Your Trusted College Park Electrical Contractor
College Park is dominated by the University of Maryland, the largest university in the state and one of the largest research universities in the country. The city wraps around the UMD campus and stretches north along Route 1 (Baltimore Avenue) and east toward Greenbelt and the airport. The electrical work mix in College Park is unique in the DMV: heavy rental-property compliance work tied to the student population, historic-home preservation in the original College Park neighborhoods south and east of campus, and substantial mixed-use commercial and multifamily work in the active Route 1 redevelopment corridor.
The student rental segment is the largest single category of our College Park work. Properties subdivided into multi-tenant rentals, basement apartments, group houses, and ADU conversions all require careful electrical work to meet current code and pass City of College Park rental licensing inspections. AFCI/GFCI protection per current NEC, interconnected smoke and CO detectors, proper sub-panel installations, dedicated circuits per unit, and clear panel labeling are all routine in this work. Property managers and landlords across College Park rely on us for licensing inspection prep and follow-up corrective work.
The historic single-family neighborhoods east and south of campus — College Park Estates, College Heights Estates, University Park, and Berwyn Heights — contain a substantial inventory of 1920s-50s housing. Knob-and-tube wiring (often abandoned but sometimes still live in attic spaces), 60-amp fuse panels, ungrounded two-prong outlets, and aluminum branch wiring in 1970s remodels are all common. We have rewired several historic College Park homes for new owners, working through any City of College Park historic preservation review when applicable.
The Route 1 corridor north of campus has been the most active redevelopment zone in Prince George's County over the last decade, with new mixed-use buildings replacing midcentury single-story commercial strips. We handle tenant electrical fit-outs, restaurant kitchens, retail lighting, and small commercial installations in this corridor.
College Park homeowners and property managers choose AJ Long Electric for clear upfront pricing, code-compliant work that passes rental inspection on the first visit, and our family-owned local presence backed by a workmanship warranty.
