A North Fork Legacy:
Generations of Local Electricians
At Custom Lighting of Suffolk, we take pride in being more than just your local electrician—we're part of the North Fork's history. Our roots run deep, and nowhere is that clearer than in the vintage 1950s ledger that belonged to our owner Benjamin Doroski’s grandfather, a dedicated certified electrician who served the North Fork community with the same integrity and skill we carry on today.
This scanned-in ledger is more than just a book of numbers. It’s a time capsule. Inside, you’ll find hand-written records of electrical work done across Greenport and neighboring towns, including hours worked, material costs, and project descriptions. One entry, for example, details the installation of a clock in the rectory of St. Agnes Church in Greenport. The total bill? Just $4.39—including labor and 22 feet of wire.
​
Another project recorded six hours of labor for $13.50—just $2.25 an hour back then, equivalent to about $28 in today’s dollars. These figures may seem quaint now, but they reflect the same values we uphold today: honest work, fair pricing, and personal commitment.

Today, our work combines cutting-edge technology with the craftsmanship that’s stood the test of time.
