If you're looking for an electrician you can trust, Shawkes Electric is it. Kai and Fin were great to have on-site as well. I've dealt with plenty of contractors over the years, and this was one of the better experiences. Shawkes Electric is a company I'd use again without hesitation.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone. He is an excellent electrician and is wonderful to work with. I would rate him higher than a 5 but that is all they will give me.

Questions we get
Short answers to what people ask on the first call. If yours is not here, call and ask.
What does a panel upgrade cost?
Most 200 amp panel upgrades run $2,800 to $4,800 installed. The spread comes from where the meter sits, whether the utility has to pull it, and how many circuits move to the new panel.
Do you pull permits?
Yes, when the job needs one. Panel upgrades, new circuits and spa hookups get a permit with the city or county, and we schedule the inspection.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
One day, with the power off for six to eight hours while the old panel comes out and the new one goes in. We tell you the day before so you can plan around it.
Do you install EV chargers?
Yes. A Level 2 charger circuit on a 200 amp panel is usually a half-day job. If your panel is full or undersized, we tell you that first and price both options.
What is the warranty?
Two years on our workmanship. Parts carry the manufacturer warranty. If something we installed fails, call and Shane comes back.
