About this service
An outlet extender is a small device that pushes a wall receptacle forward, often used when you add a new backsplash or install a deeper electrical box. It helps ensure the outlet sits flush with the surface of your wall for a clean, safe finish. If your current outlets are recessed too deeply behind a new wall covering, an extender is the necessary fix to keep your plugs secure and properly connected.
