The Florida Panhandle
Homes in the Panhandle take a beating from Gulf storms, and many older houses still run on panels that were never sized for today's air conditioners, pool pumps and EVs. We see a lot of storm-damaged service masts, water in meter bases and generator hookups that need to be done properly.
North Florida
North Florida has a big mix of historic homes, older ranch houses and fast-growing new subdivisions. That means we handle everything from replacing brittle cloth-insulated wiring to adding circuits for new kitchens, shops and EV chargers.
Central Florida
Central Florida sits in one of the most lightning-active parts of the country, so surge protection and proper grounding matter here more than most places. Rapid growth also means plenty of panel upgrades, new circuits and additions.
The Tampa Bay area
Around Tampa Bay, summer storms, salty air and older mid-century homes combine to wear out panels, outdoor outlets and exterior lighting faster than you might expect. We check for corrosion and loose connections on every visit.

What customers say
Old house, aluminum wiring, lots of worries. They laid out the options clearly and the rewire was finished on schedule.
Recessed lights in the kitchen and living room look fantastic. They patched every hole and vacuumed before leaving.
They put a Level 2 charger in our garage and ran the new circuit cleanly along the wall. Quote matched the invoice to the dollar.
