I will say they are more expensive that others, but well worth it! It’s the old saying “you get what you pay for”. It was the attention to details that won me over. The burying the cables under the rocks in a tidy fashion, running new cables to ensure problems don’t exist in the future. Would 100% hire again. Trust is a powerful thing.

Details: Replacement of existing lighting • 5-10 lights • The lights will not be installed in the ceiling • Outdoors • Existing property • House

Our issue: Had a bad switch for the light in our closet. Had a great experience with Terrapin. The technician diagnosed the problem quickly. Additionally, he explained what was going on in a way that was easy for me to understand. Fixed the switch very quickly and gave some pro tips on what kinds of light bulbs to purchase for the encased closet light, so we could maximize how long we could use the bulb before needing to replace it. I don’t think I could ask for much more out of the experience! Thank you!

Details: Fixture or outlet not working • Lights • 8 - 10 feet (standard ceiling) • House

Installed an outlet for me and was BY FAR cheaper than the other companies I got quotes from. The gentleman that installed the outlet was friendly, fast, and professional. Great experience

Roger and Matt did a fantastic job. They showed up exactly on time, communicated the plan clearly, and knocked out quality work quickly. They helped clean up some messy exterior wiring we had outside from tenants who lived in our house when it was a rental, and they installed some ethernet ports to help me pipe my high speed internet across the house. I would recommend them to anyone and especially if you're in the Bastrop area where it's hard to find low voltage electricians, these guys were a godsend.

Details: Communications (telephone, cable, or internet) • Install new wiring • One or more rooms • House
