Owner
Derrick Carter (the "son" in the second-generation family company name) came recommended by a local HVAC company to my friend who needed electric work (re)done. I see why the company was willing to stake their reputation on this recommendation! Derrick was prompt, efficient, and very knowledgeable. As the daughter of (and occasional assistant to) an engineer who served as his own general contractor, I know enough to recognize competence. Derrick had to deal with some work previously done and was able to analyze problems and remedy them. His charge was also very reasonable. He is now my electrician of choice for any work needed at our family home or at my rentals.
