Stickler's Electrical Service was built on a simple idea: residential electrical work deserves the same focus and care as any other trade — not just a side job for a company that's really built around commercial and industrial contracts.
I've been in the electrical trade for 27 years, starting at 16 years old. From the beginning, I was drawn to working with my hands — the problem-solving, the constant learning, and the satisfaction of figuring out exactly what's wrong and fixing it right. That never changed, even as the work did.
For 11 years, I worked for a company that focused primarily on commercial and industrial electrical projects. It was solid work, but my real passion was always residential — helping homeowners directly, not managing a piece of a much larger corporate job. So in 2021, I started Stickler's Electrical Service to do exactly that: focus entirely on the homes and families in our community.
There's a different kind of satisfaction in this work. When you help a family get their power back on during a storm, replace an outdated panel before it becomes a hazard, or simply explain what's actually going on with their electrical system in plain language — that's a level of fulfillment I never found doing corporate work. That's still what drives Stickler's today.
What that means for you: 27 years of hands-on electrical experience, with Stickler's Electrical Service founded in 2021 — not a franchise following a corporate script, but real trade knowledge built over almost three decades- Residential-focused, by choice — this isn't a commercial contractor doing house calls on the side; homes are the entire focus- Licensed and insured NC License #U.34466 — every job is done to code, with proper permitting where required- Direct accountability — when you call Stickler's, you're talking to the person doing the work, not a call center routing your request.
