Started in a flood year. Still here, still family.

Emily and I grew up in the Lafayette area, and we love serving our community. There are electricians on both sides of our family, so when things worked out to start our own business in 2016, it felt like the natural thing to do.

Our first year was the year of the August 2016 flood. It was not a memorable time for Acadiana, but it gave us a great start, and we've made a lot of happy customers along the way. Most of them have become like family.

It's been over ten years now, and we've worked hard to keep a good name. If you're not happy with your electrician, give us a shout. We'd be happy to help with anything you need.

“Thanks to a great community, and we look forward to many more years.”
