🌟 Puyallup Customer Success Stories
Downtown Historic Building Renovation
“Our 1920s downtown building needed complete electrical modernization for our restaurant. Charlie’s expertise with historic electrical preservation was perfect. He replaced all the old knob and tube wiring while maintaining the building’s character, and the new electrical system handles all our kitchen equipment perfectly. The city inspectors were impressed with the historic-sensitive installation.”
– Maria & Carlos S., Downtown Restaurant Owners
Sunrise Community Smart Home
“We wanted our new Sunrise home to have complete smart home integration. Charlie’s experience with modern electrical systems and automation was exactly what we needed. He wired our home for smart lighting, security, and climate control that we can manage from our phones. Professional installation that works flawlessly.”
– Jason & Emily R., Sunrise Community
Fair Time Emergency Service
*”During the Fair, our downtown business had an electrical emergency that threatened our busiest week of the year. Charlie responded immediately on a Saturday and had our power restored within hours. His understanding of Puyallup’s event season and business needs probably saved us thousands in lost revenue.”
