Serving St. Johns County

St. Augustine & St. Johns County Electrician

From historic downtown homes to new Nocatee construction, I provide expert electrical services throughout St. Augustine and St. Johns County. Licensed, insured, and experienced with local permitting.

Electrical Services for America's Oldest City

St. Augustine presents a unique challenge: how do you bring modern electrical safety to a city with homes spanning 400 years of construction? From Spanish colonial architecture in the downtown historic district to brand-new construction in master-planned communities like Nocatee and Palencia, each home has different needs.

I serve all of St. Johns County, from the beaches of Anastasia Island to the golf communities of World Golf Village. Whether you need to update dangerous knob-and-tube wiring in a Victorian home or add an EV charger circuit to your new construction, I can help.

And because St. Johns County has different permitting requirements than Jacksonville, you need an electrician who understands the local process. I handle all permits and inspections—no extra hassle for you.

Understanding St. Augustine's Unique Challenges

America's Oldest City—America's Oldest Wiring

St. Augustine has homes spanning four centuries of construction. Downtown historic homes may have original turn-of-century wiring, while newer developments in the county have their own modern challenges.

From Spanish colonial to Victorian to modern construction, each era has unique electrical characteristics.

My Approach: Era-appropriate electrical upgrades that respect your home's history while ensuring modern safety

Historic District Considerations

Downtown St. Augustine is a designated historic district with specific preservation requirements. While interior electrical work typically doesn't require historic review, visible exterior changes may need approval.

Working in historic districts requires understanding what triggers review and what doesn't.

My Approach: Strategic installation that keeps modern electrical systems invisible while maintaining historic character

Vacation Rental Demands

Many St. Augustine homeowners rent their properties to tourists. Short-term rentals put extra demands on electrical systems—constant AC use, multiple guests charging devices, and the need for reliable, tenant-proof installations.

Vacation rentals need electrical systems that are safe, reliable, and require minimal owner intervention.

My Approach: Heavy-duty outlets, commercial-grade components, smart home compatibility, and easy-to-reset GFCI installations

St. Johns County Permitting

St. Augustine and St. Johns County have different permitting processes than Jacksonville/Duval County. Working with the right inspectors and understanding local code interpretations matters.

I'm experienced with St. Johns County building department processes and inspector expectations.

St. Augustine Electrical FAQs

Do you handle St. Johns County permits?
Yes. I'm fully licensed to work in St. Johns County and handle all permitting and inspections. The process is different from Duval County—St. Johns uses a different inspection system and has specific local requirements. This is all included in my quotes.
Can you work on my historic downtown St. Augustine home?
Absolutely. I have experience with historic St. Augustine properties from the Lincolnville neighborhood to the downtown core. Interior electrical work doesn't typically require historic review, but I'm careful to maintain your home's character and work with your specific architecture.
I have a vacation rental. Can you make the electrical system more tenant-friendly?
Yes—this is a common request in St. Augustine. I can install easy-to-locate GFCI reset buttons, commercial-grade outlets that handle heavy use, clear circuit labeling, and smart home devices for remote monitoring. The goal is a system that's safe, reliable, and requires minimal intervention from you.
How does pricing compare to Jacksonville?
Pricing is similar to Jacksonville for most work. Historic downtown homes tend to cost more due to older construction and preservation considerations. Newer St. Johns County developments like Nocatee and Palencia are typically straightforward and competitively priced.
Do you serve the newer developments like Nocatee and World Golf Village?
Yes. While these newer communities have more modern electrical systems, I frequently help with panel upgrades for EV chargers, generator installations, home office circuits, and correcting issues with builder-grade electrical work.
