Yes, Ganesh is a Hindu god, a man with an elephant head, which is a story in itself. Bob Morgan and Bill Cavins, fresh Peace Corps returnees from Nepal, started Ganesh Fixit in the Fall of 1972 at road 27 and 113 (before it was a freeway).
We moved to Davis in '73 and were in two locations on Olive Drive before settling in at 1606 in the old Pac Tel switching facility. We progressed from fixing whatever came in the door to entering doors all over the Davis area to do handyman work.
Now as a general and electrical contractor and incorporated as Ganesh Works, we tackle all residential and some commercial electrical work as well as specializing in energy efficient improvements, including whole house and ceiling fans, demand water heaters, and PV (photovoltaic) solar installations.

The Ganesh Fixit Shop still exists as a place to bring stuff to be fixed. Vacuums, lamps, and power tools can usually be repaired. But please no more toasters, blenders or hairdryers which are not made to be repaired.
We do reglue and repair chairs and other small furniture. We do minor welding, soldering, and gluing. If anyone can figure out how to get one of those Dyson vacuums apart, we might be able to work on them.
We repaired a duck plucking machine once. If parts don't have to be ordered, most things are fixed in a week and usually get done on Saturday morning when the boss is there. Click Here for a full list of what we do and don't fix.
