What we do
Three things, done by the same small crew: backup power for when the grid goes down, electrical work for homes and businesses, and remodeling.

Service calls, troubleshooting, panel upgrades, new circuits, lighting and network wiring, residential and commercial.

Ice, wind and storms take the power out here every year.

Do I need a whole-house generator, or will a portable one work?
It depends on what you need running during an outage. If you mainly want heat, the well pump, the fridge and some lights, a portable generator with a proper transfer switch usually does the job for a lot less money. If you want everything on, including central air, and you want it to start by itself, a whole-house standby unit is the better fit. We'll look at your panel and tell you straight.
Do you take small jobs and service calls?
Yes. If a breaker keeps tripping, an outlet stopped working or something just isn't right, call us. Troubleshooting and service calls are a big part of what we do.
Are estimates free?
Yes. Call or text us, tell us what you need, and we'll set up a time to take a look and give you a free estimate.
Can you do the electrical and the remodel on the same job?
Yes, and that's the main reason people call us for bathrooms and kitchens. One contractor handles the wiring, lighting, drywall, tile and finish work, so nothing falls between two schedules.
