About
My name is Carlos Bates and I love what I do. I started in 2002, this trade has been a big part of my life ever since. Show me the problem and I’m sure I could figure it out. I’m a true people person and I can converse about this electrical trade for hours (while working 😉) so let me know what I can do for you.

These guys are not only efficient and try to prevent unnecessary work but I would even invite them over for a BBQ. Good people.

Carlos and his brother do excellent work at a fair price. Their professionalism is unbeatable. Before they got here, Carlos walked me through the job and what I would need. He was also very patient when I had to go back to him with questions about some items. Then during the work, he included me in every decision about how to place fixtures, etc. And, after they finished the main work, they cleaned and vacuumed, leaving the house as they found it. I’ll be using them again, and recommend you hire them too.
