“Replaced a Federal Pacific panel I did not even know was a problem until my insurance company flagged it. Straight answer, fair price, done in a day.”
Hannah G., Rutledge“They wired a new sub panel and six circuits for my workshop. Everything labeled, everything on the right breaker size, and they cleaned up completely.”
Gene U., Rutledge“Rewired a 1940s house one floor at a time so we could stay in it. Minimal holes, everything patched, and they explained what they found in the attic instead of just handing me a bill.”
