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.
