Master Electrician

Background

32 years, and since 2020 in my own name

I got into electrical work helping my brother-in-law. It didn’t take long to work out I could do this on my own, so I got my journeyman’s license, then my master’s. I started this company in 2020.

How I price

The price is the part people are afraid of

Most electricians won’t give you a number until they’re standing in your hallway. I understand why, it’s easier, and it keeps their options open. But it puts the homeowner in a bad spot: you’ve already let a stranger into your house before you find out what it costs.

After thirty-two years I can look at a job and price it accurately. That’s not a boast, it’s just what the time buys you. It means I can quote flat instead of billing by the hour, and a flat price is better for you, because you know the number before anything gets opened up and it doesn’t move unless you change the job.

The only work I bill hourly is the sort that genuinely can’t be quoted, chasing an intermittent fault through an old house, usually. That’s $115 an hour with a one-hour minimum, agreed with you first. Everything that can be priced flat, is.

The crew

I quote every job myself

I have guys now. On smaller repeat work one of them may be the one doing the install, and they’re good at it. But I quote every job that leaves here.

That matters, because the person who gave you a price should be the person who has to stand behind it. It’s also why I answer the phone myself most of the time. If I miss you, you’ll hear back inside fifteen minutes, not tomorrow.

What we do

Houses first, but not only

Most of what we do is houses, and that’s what most of this site is about: panels, rewires, repairs, generators, chargers.

We also do commercial wiring, repair and service upgrades for property managers, contractors and business owners around Mobile County. Same license, same insurance, same person quoting it.

My promise

four things I'll commit to in writing

Plus a one-year workmanship warranty that transfers with the house if you sell it.

A written price before we start

Agreed and signed before anything gets opened up.

A two-hour arrival window, and I call about thirty minutes ahead

If we miss the window the $95 diagnostic fee is on us.

The permit gets pulled,
and the fee is already in your price

I hold a master card with the City of Mobile and pull them regularly. Coordinating with Alabama Power on a service change is included too.

No deposits Ever

Not on a panel, not on a rewire, not on a generator. You pay when the work is finished.

Service area

All of Mobile County: Semmes, Saraland, Satsuma, West Mobile, Spring Hill, Theodore, Tillmans Corner, Chickasaw, Prichard, Creola, Axis, Wilmer, Tanner Williams and Midtown Mobile.

Not Baldwin County. The beach communities are 40 to 80minutes away behind the Wallace Tunnel, and a van stuck in that traffic can’t hold an arrival window for anybody. I’d rather say no than break a promise.

Open Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5. Saturday is the same rate as a weekday, which almost nobody around here offers.
