Desert Home Electric

I started doing electrical work in 1976 working in California. I worked for one company for 18 years before I decided to get my own license and move to Las Vegas. I started Desert Home Electric in 1996 and it's been nothing but a good experience. My work background in California had me working in all areas of the electrical trade: residential tract homes, high end custom homes, light commercial to heavy industrial. All types of remodels and service work including older homes built back in the early 1900's.

My # 1 concern when putting together a company was to look at people's attitude before I looked at what kind of an electrician they might be. To this day that is the driving force behind what kind of people we hire. An employee needs to be a good person first before we figure out what kind of worker they might be.

Every company feels like they are the best. Everyone can't be the best so there has to be a realistic approach to who you are. Our company philosophy is that there are a lot of companies out there that might be as good as us - but no one does it better. WE stand by that. It means we are always trying to improve what we do day in and day out.

We do pretty much the whole spectrum of electrical work. This includes custom homes, tract homes, light commercial, remodels, repairs, underground, landscape lighting and low voltage work. This is our #1 area by far. We do work for individuals who are building their own home. We have a lot of contractors who build 3 to 10 high end homes a year - either as specs or for their own individual clients. We do high end tract homes. These are tract homes only in the sense that they are built in a community of 10 - 50 houses in one area.
